I finally played Breath of the Wild and it's.... well, I'll just show you what I said to Moham:

dundun: Son.
dundun: I played Breath of the Wild
dundun: It's a good game, but it's not a Zelda game.
Rizhall: That's the feeling I got when I saw it.
dundun: It's like... it's not the open-world aspect that bothers me.
dundun: Let me give a few examples of what's weird:
dundun: 1. There are lots of different weapons like a regular RPG or action-adventure game, and they have attack stats.
dundun: 2. Those weapons break all the fucking time.
Rizhall: That sounds extremely annoying.
dundun: 3. Armor too. He's not wearing the traditional Link clothing. They have defense stats.
dundun: 4. THERE'S FUCKING VOICE ACTING.
dundun: 5. It's almost... futuristic in a way? It still takes place in a fantasy world, but there's sci-fi shit like fucking everywhere. You're literally carrying a smart phone with you at all times.
Rizhall: Son, that samurai game I'm playing right now? Nioh.
dundun: 6. You pick horses yourself. No Epona subplot thing. You catch them in the wild and can have multiple ones.
dundun: LIterally it feels like another game, a good game, but it's another game with Zelda slapped on it.
Rizhall: That sounds like it should have been a new IP.
Rizhall: They had a public alpha demo out last year, and the weapons you got had durability, and they broke all the fucking time too.
Rizhall: So you had to keep replacing your weapons.
dundun: SOn? That weapon replacement is actually getting out of control.
dundun: Like, I'm literally breaking two per fight.
Rizhall: So many people hated that shit that by the time the game actually came out, they removed the durability function entirely.
dundun: And it's everything: swords, boomerangs, bows and arrows.
dundun: Seriously, that's the worst fucking part of the game.
Rizhall: That sounds very annoying.
Rizhall: Honestly, son.
dundun: Jen can't handle it to be honest. She just starts throwing bombs at people instead.
Rizhall: I don't think I've played a single game where the durability feature added to the enjoyment of a game.
dundun: Yeah, seriously. Diablo even started phasing that shit out a bit too. You just do it after you die and check it every now and then to make sure it's OK.
dundun: Yo! Bombs are another different thing too!
dundun: You can only use one bomb at a time.
dundun: And you can detonate it whenever you want.
dundun: But after you use it, you have to wait... maybe five seconds before you're allowed to use another.
Rizhall: That's weird as fuck.
Rizhall: Why'd they do that?
dundun: It's because your cellphone is generating the bomb I think.
dundun: It can only handle one at a time.
Rizhall: Well that's stupid.
dundun: Oh yeah, THE most important thing.
dundun: You can't fucking roll anymore!
dundun: I'm running places and I can't fucking roll!
Rizhall: WHAT.
dundun: They took it out of the game!
Rizhall: NO CRASHING INTO THINGS?
dundun: You can jump now, but it's maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad slow.
dundun: NO CRASHING INTO THINGS. YOU HAVE TO PICK UP A HAMMER AND SMASH SHIT, AND THEN IT BREAKS.
Rizhall: WHAT THE FUCK.
Rizhall: What's even the point of the game anymore?
dundun: I don't know. I just... I don't know.
dundun: I think I would enjoy this better if it weren't a Zelda game.
dundun: Because the entire time I'm thinking, "Why are they doing this? Why did they design it this way?"
Rizhall: It sounds like they're shooting so hard for realism now that they're removing a lot of enjoyable shit from the series.
dundun: Well, if they wanted to do that, they should've fucking worked on the graphics.
dundun: Coming off of FFXV, this looks...... eh.
dundun: I mean, it's pretty and colorful, I'll give them that, but it's still...... eh.
Rizhall: You know what's crazy?
dundun: What?
Rizhall: This is gonna affect all future Zelda games from now on, at least for a while.
dundun: OH WAIT, I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS.
dundun: IF YOU CUT GRASS, YOU DON'T GET RUPEES.
dundun: RUPEES AREN'T LYING AROUND ANYMORE.
dundun: NEITHER ARE HEARTS.
dundun: YOU HAVE TO FIND SHIT ON THE GROUND AND SELL IT LIKE IT'S FUCKING FFXII.
Rizhall: WHAT THE FUCK.
dundun: AND YOU HAVE TO COOK FOOD AND EAT IT.
Rizhall: WAHT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, NINTENDO?
dundun: THAT'S HOW YOU HEAL YOURSELF.
dundun: I DON'T KNOW!
dundun: I DON'T FUCKING KNOW
Rizhall: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING DOING.
