I'm 180 hours in, all caves done, all shrines, all lightroots, all main quests, all side adventures, all cutscenes, 2 side quests left, and I just beat the game! Also 360 koroks found but I won't finish that.

(Finally I can read this thread lol)

Absolute masterpiece, brought me to tears ~5 times, usually due to game mechanics I couldn't believe they implemented. Either my new #1 or #2 favorite game of all time.

I'd definitely put it above BOTW, mostly because the combat doesn't feel like a waste of resources in this game. You're guaranteed to come out ahead by picking up monster horns, which you have infinite space for, and are basically the weapons themselves (the base of a weapon doesn't matter that much, just what you fuse onto 'em!).

I think the only thing BOTW does better is the inside of puzzle shrines. The shrines were much more silly and creative in BOTW, you didn't know what you were gonna get! In here, they're usually very simple/short tutorials of one mechanic each time. Also the number of Rauru's Blessing shrines is absurd in TOTK, what a waste of loading screen time.

Of course, the combat shrines are 100x better in TOTK, admittedly.
