Amazing, but not my favorite

Verified Purchase:Yes
So, I purchased this on launch day. I must preface this by stating I am a huge Legend of Zelda and Nintendo fan. Now that I have played the game for over 200 hours here are my thoughts. Potential spoilers ahead.
Pros:
-Freedom to explore as you see fit. The trill of exploring this game was almost sublime. I kept wanting to go to a destination but there was always something to pull my attention and I found myself heading in that direction.
-Shrines provide dungeon puzzles in bite size bits that don't overwhelm. If you can't solve it you can skip the shrine for another one.
-Some of the best character designs in the franchise's history. I felt like the Gerudo, Zora and Rito were all very well designed.
-Fun inventive physics engine allows for unique gameplay potential. I constantly found myself just doing random things with weapons and objects just to see what I could do.
-Experience the game at your own pace. I never felt pressured to complete the story or do anything in a particular way.

Cons:
-Enemy variety left me wanting, especially after playing as long as I have. Even if some soldiers were added or more new monsters besides the guardian variants.
-Bosses were incredible pushovers, I had zero difficulty with any of them
All bosses were variants of Ganon, I would have loved for crazy monsters like in Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time.
-Blood Moon is glitched. Hands down one of the most frustrating things about this game. Some times I'll play for hours and not a single Blood Moon; other times I've had FIVE Blood Moons in a single game day (sometimes the Blood Moon will rise in the day time). Extremely annoying.

Things that I didn't find as either a pro or con:
-Weapon Degradation: Now, this is definitely something a lot of people will dislike. The weapons break a lot, and I mean A LOT. It almost seems pointless to care about your weapons or shields. Personally, at the start of the game I hated this mechanic but as I played I actually found it to be a lot of fun. I almost stopped noticing because weapons, even powerful ones, were everywhere! It did help me break out of my comfort zone of what I enjoyed playing with. Normally I gravitate towards swords but with how often weapons broke I was using spears, claymores, clubs, and bows. I also found myself using unconventional ways of defeating enemies, like environmental hazards and objects adjacent to the skirmish.
-Voice Acting: I found some of the characters to have great voice acting and others to be lacking. My personal favorites were Urbosa and Rivali but I didn't really like Zelda or Mipha. Overall it didn't make or break my experience.
-Dungeons: I felt they were cool and interesting but a bit on the boring side. I kind of felt like the vast world had more opportunities for incredible and interesting dungeons, and limiting to 4 in the way that they did to support the story boxed them in to the boring style we got.

Now this is all just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. I do feel the game is amazing and one of the best I've ever played.
