(By game size he means scope of the game and huge open world maps, not game install size)

I’ve gotta disagree on BotW. I love Zelda games and the mechanics of that game were an amazing shift in the franchise. But that open world was so boring. The same like 4-5 enemies, even the harder variants didn’t have different movesets. TotK was even worse with the depths and a majority of sky islands being empty and devoid of content.

But the e gameplay is so fun it’s a lot easier to forgive them than say AC Odyssey.

I've been saying this since it released. Cool mechanics, but boring world and gameplay. I'm still a bit salty about the loss of real dungeons, nothing in BOTW or TOTK feel as memorable as the previous games.
