Zelda BotW and TotK are not fun. The stamina system is pointless and the weapon durability is frustrating. On top of that, the world's are just sooo empty. There's really nothing in them. Oh look, an interesting ruin... it's another repetitive shrine. Oh, that geological formation is really unique aaannnddd it's another fucking korok seed. That's all you ever got for exploring. Shrines and korok seeds.
I did like slapping random shit onto my weapons in tears of the kingdom though. All in all to me the games are fine but not really Zelda games.
Most people agree with you there
To the geological formations and all, it's just nice to explore them. For me the fun about them weren't potential rewards, but for the purpose of exploring itself, but I get that it's not for everyone I don't think the world is empty though, there are plenty of nice sidequests, easter eggs and items to find, especially if you haven't read any guides.
They are, but Zelda games have changed due to better technical possibilities, ooc wasn't anything like the 2d Zeldas for example
I assume you mean OoT? Strong disagree there - in structure it's extremely similar to ALttP.
