Why the hell would want to play the game without the music?  I started out playing on the TV in our family room, with just Stereo Sound.  Moving to the Home Theater and turing on Surround Sound was 50 times better.  Playing Zelda in stero, is the equivalent to using an RF modulator to connect your Atari 2600 to your 13" color television.

Isn't this the case for almost every Nintendo game? Why are you surprised?

When everything else is amazing, and the only issue is infrequent framerate drops, the math does itself. Especially in an openworld game on heardware as weak as the Switch.

95+ equals a near perfect experience and a 98 equals perfection. So yeah tiny things like these do matter. Hardware is not an excuse since it is a cross release. 

I calculated a troll review in the total score like a 40 for too much detail. Or a 50 for Horizon Zero Dawn for very dubious reasons. Such a score means you can't get a perfect score anymore on meta. It's a great game I agree, but I think reviewers should judge performance harder. Same goes for GTA or other games with a inconsistent frame rate and bugs. It is really anoying and can lessen the experience, but lets choose to agree to disagree on this one.

That's annoying.. :/

Also would have liked it to have dual audio options D:

I'm a multitasker. I have the game running next to another monitor where I have other stuff running. I usually get my fill of the ingame music after an hour and then switch to either my own music or some streams. Sometimes I have another game running next to it so I have something to do in between hour long load times.

Do I strike you as someone who frequently plays a variety of Nintendo games? But being surprised is actually my own fault. I've been disappointed by Nintendo so many times but I can't help myself expecting greatness from them again and again. Guess where all my Nintendo salt comes from. Always from too high expectations set by Nintendo and especially their raving fanboys.

I thought of you as more of a cynic that wouldn't give in to hype that much, but I do think that your opinion about the audio options is a valid one and I am not sure why they didn't include any.  I don't normally mess with them, but I totally understand why some people may need to.  It's an accessibility issue as well.

If I was a cynic I would say that BOTW sucks, which I have never said and probably never will say. It's a pretty cool game that's being held back by stupid stuff. I actually enjoy my time with it.

That is in contrast to FFXV where I rarely had genuine fun in the 100h I played it. But that game also suffered from my too high expectations.

Nintendo, this is 2017. I guess they wouldn't understand. If they patch later, that would be understandable but I doubt it.
