I can't tell if I'm having fun playing BotW. Please advise.

Board 8

BotW is one of my favorite Zelda games, but it's ultimately a game about going places (as in 100% journey, not necessarily destination) and messing with physics systems. You do occasionally find things but the world is pretty sparse and if you're not having fun "wandering around doing shrines and climbing towers and whatnot" then the game doesn't have much more to offer you.

The folks bringing up Odyssey are right on though since that game has the polar opposite design philosophy of BotW and is a straight up barrage of joy.
