It's such a weird feeling as a long time Zelda fan who absolutely vehemently hates this. It boggles my mind that everyone seems to love it. It just feels like slop to me. The art direction is "make it hyper realistic" and yet everyone seems to feel like its some cutesy toy effect? It seems to me like they couldn't decide whether they wanted to do a remake or a remaster. The models and animation are 1:1 but the mechanics are changed and everything looks like an unreal engine demo. The castle town was the best part but man the vibes are wrong. Zelda games almost always have a cohesive, distinct artistic style. I would have loved something weird and fresh.

NGL though the creepy mix of childish and realistic will probably hit hard for MM.

Edit: forgot about Navis voice.. I also hate that
