@alex I didn't play BOTW so I am enjoying TOTK. Agree the cut scenes can go on too long, I skip them if they are too familiar and boring. But I am enjoying running around the world, and I am taking it slow.

I finished the Water Temple last night. That boss is a pain in the ass as I had run low on Splash Fruit and could not get the damn mud out of the way, so the fight took longer than it should have.

Overall, I like the game. But if someone played BOTW, then I can see how it might feel like just more of the same. I don't mind the vehicles but I use them when I must, otherwise I just run on foot or use a horse. Ascend, Ultrahand, Rewind,etc. are fun to use and add good gameplay.
