I have a 5.1 as well, and I use software normalization (Plex and through my Shield) to fix it. I know there's a way to tune it via hardware, but my setup is an ancient Yamaha receiver and I prefer the software normalization.

Mixing can be a mixed bag, as everyone uses different hardware to master their sound, but normalization or boosting center fixes it 99% of the time.

I miss it too, but they did a great job of being classic Zelda into an open world. The only way they can truly top TotK is by heavy story and more dungeons, but I'm just glad to have Gleeoks and other classic enemies, dungeon monsters, and side stories.

Maybe classic Zelda spinoffs will be linear stories like Twilight Princess.

It's because they're mixing dialogue for the center channel speaker. Most people don't have a center channel on their TV or sound bar, but some "Dialogue Mode"s will exclusively play the center channel and drown out the sound effects. It's a trade off, but one that most manufacturers don't even give the option for.
