The problem is it's a pretty big genre shift. Nintendo clearly thought it was time after Skyward Sword and the market agreed... But I personally couldn't stand basically everything they did beyond the base idea of going all in on an open world.
There was, quite frankly, too much meaningless filler content for me to really care, and the disconnect in tone between the main story's genuinely emotional attempt at creating a sense of urgency and the open world "take your time bro lmao Zelda's already been doing this for a century" drove me up a wall.
I understand why people like it though, they absolutely nailed the exploration and mechanics... If you weren't already tired of them.
