Feelings after a little over a week

After having a little over a week of playtime, how do you feel about it?

As a Zelda and Nintendo fan the last two years have been pretty weird for me. Call it burn out or general disappointment with Nintendo's decisions in some other games and hardware but I found myself for the first time ever not feeling hyped with the trailers. I was curious when the ultrahand and fusing mechanics came out but I wasn't losing it. And that was really weird. I mean, people that know me in person, quickly learn that the easy way to gift me something I'd like is giving me something Zelda related.

This is to say that instead of jumping on the game it actually took me some days debating with myself. Of course I ended up buying it. At first I was overly critical, maybe to soothe my ego. Like I noticed a piece of texture glitching on a building in the Sky Islands, the water filter acting wonky, etc. Little stuff that didn't matter.

Once I started unlocking the arm functions I got hooked. It was a nice way of being hooked. I thought I'd feel overwhelmed but it has felt pretty chill in terms on letting you create your own pace. You can get story elements or explore or collect as you see fit. I won't get much on what I think on the story I've uncovered so far but the game on itself has been alright.

Also, I managed to get myself stuck pretty early in the game:

I enjoyed it for sure, not as good as Breath of the Wild, but I think that's just because it didn't blow me away like BoTW did, because it wasn't new.

I wish they'd just go back to standard dungeons.

I love the mechanics and mystery of old Zelda games like. Finding mew islands on Wind Waker. You were exploring and it was fun.

Yeah the only place that has similar atmosphere to the old games is lost woods.

If they made another Wind Waker ish game now, imagine the amount of islands they could add.

I thought for a moment we were talking about the sky islands , which were alright if not a bit underwhelming. There weren't that many to begin with, like to have so many copy&paste. I get they couldn't be as big as the tutorial island but I would have liked to have a bit more of sky remains to explore and maybe even some SS easter egg given with how heavily they tried to hint a correlation with the game when they were doing their promos for both games.
