My preorder (the first game I preordered in 20 years) came one day early. It was the closest I've come to that childhood feeling of a birthday or Christmas present. Spent a few hours on it after putting my kid to bed and it's definitely succeeded in drawing me into that world again.

I'm somewhat amazed how each Zelda (or Mario for that matter) title is essentially exactly the same story over and over, but still with enough changes to make it feel totally new again. Sure, a lot of the mechanics are the same as in BOTW (the good and the bad), maybe more of an evolution than a revolution, but critics saying it's like a DLC for BOTW are wrong.
