my son, who's two years old, refuses to play Tears of the Kingdom with me. he says the game has a sloppy aesthetic, the building mechanics feel like fan-mod stuff, the sense of exploration from BotW is just not there, and he misses the bombs. he did have positive things to say about Link's new hair, however. these are not my opinions, they're his. he's very articulate for his age. says it has nothing to do the sheer terror he experiences when seeing a Like-Like or one of those awful hand things.
so now we've restarted Breath of the Wild in Master Mode.
