I'm not going to deny that they are good games, they definitely are. However, there are some design choices made with BOTW and TOTK that really make me separate them from the rest of the series.

The item degradation, the voice acting, the open worldness, all these things aren't what I want from a Zelda, and because of that, I doubt I'll ever replay those games again. Again, not bad games at all, and if anyone said they were their favorite games, I'd totally understand that.

But does anyone else wish that we would get a more traditional Zelda game again?

Yes, hella good games - didn't scratch the Zelda itch though.

There was one point in totk where I fell down a well, bombed a wall, and found a fairy fountain, and suddenly I felt it for a fleeting second. But that was about it. The dungeons were an absolute joke in terms of length and difficulty.

I also managed to break a LOT of puzzles (like straight up skip them) by lifting a piece of something up high with ultrahand, dropping it, hopping on it, then recalling it up. I think the game would have been better if recall just didn't exist.
