It's not as fun as BOTW

BOTW isn't fun to begin with.

Prove your claim.

It's fucking dogshit compared to BOTW
When I played BOTW, the last thing that I wanted was to play a garbage building minigame on top of it

No, fun isn't really the issue with TotK. Of all the issues it has, that's not the one.

Genuinely cannot believe how many threads this game still gets to this day. I think it might be more than BG3 at this point.

Yeah Link becomes a demi-god way too quickly. The open world also has way more checklist content than BotW had, which makes it more annoying to just explore.

I just want to be link and run around swinging my sword and ride my horse taking in the atmosphere and shit
the building is fun but it gets either tedious or trivializes the game and I get uncomfortable just sitting in fucking menus forever to do everything

but really the atmosphere in TOTK fucking sucks, the world in BOTW was clearly made for that game alone and it shows
shit like the guardians and all the ancient sheikah shit literally just disappearing without explanation and being replaced by this other ancient tech that somehow was never fucking mentioned in BOTW at all feels incredibly cheap
the whole point of the world is to explore, and not only are you giving me the same map I've already combed head to toe but it may as well be a retcon of the original game lore wise and that just kills my desire to go out and learn anything about it because it all feels like they just made it up over a weekend
plus mercenary tao'ing on top of a stasis'd log is way more fun than any of the dumb shit you can build in totk AND way fucking faster
the battery resource shit requiring grinding for resources completely kills it, i don't want to fucking farm in zelda because they didn't delay the game until the switch 2 which would probably have good enough hardware to make such aggressive culling of any shit you build not necessary

Tutorial sky island is fantastic because you don't have your epic haxor powers yet. Goes to shit almost immediately after you get all of them.

That's purely because one of the biggest features is essentially CAD software which is really tedious to use on a gamepad. If there was a secondary touchscreen to handle the building stuff, it would have been great. Otherwise, TotK is pretty much an unequivocal improvement on BotW. Better use of space, better puzzle mechanics, better dungeons, more content, etc. I guess you could say the tutorial wasn't as good as the Great Plateau. It also didn't hit the same because it wasn't the first open world Zelda game but nothing you can do about that.

if only Nintendo had a console with a built in mouse that would make building things in 3d space extremely fast and novel
that's almost as good of an idea as having a controller with its own screen on it so you can look at the map simultaneously while you play, you can even give link a tablet to represent it
weird how they never did that
