I finished this game and here are my thoughts.
1. Game is a masterpiece and I love it. I played the game on Yuzu at 4K/60 fps. Remarkably, I had very few crashes and it was a remarkably stable experience. To be clear, I have a 7800X3D and a 4090, but anyone with at least a 2070 should get a far superior experience than the console itself. Needless to say 99% of Zelda players won't get the experience I did, but it's pretty obvious that Nintendo would really benefit from a console that runs these games at 4K 60 fps. It's a tragedy that we have people stuck playing this at 900p/30 fps. It deserves so much more. I know fanboys will tell me that Nintendo is not about flashy hardware, but they can release a more powerful machine that can run this game better without it costing an arm and a leg. Nintendo games are developed with lower specs in mind and it wouldn't take anywhere remotely close to the processing power of a PS5 or XSX to get their games at 4K/60 or 1440p/120. The Switch 2 is rumored to have a PS4 level power and I honestly think that will work well enough. The game didn't look perfect upscaled, but it looked good and did not once did the lower quality visuals hamper the experience.
As for the game, I made every effort to play the game correctly, but I did do some things to stream line the experience. I went through every single shrine and lighthouse. Those were mostly fun. I got the armor sets I wanted, but I used the Skydiving set the most. I also got the Twilight set to give myself an old school Link look. However, I did cheat in that I increased the durability by 10X. You will NEVER convince me that the insanely low durability of the vanilla experience makes for a better system. I also added in resources using a save editor as I did not have the energy to constantly farm things. At first, I tried to upgrade my armor legit, but I got so sick of watching the fairy animation. Seriously, if I have the resources to upgrade my gear several layers, why do I need to sit through an animation every fucking time? I made every effort to avoid using a guide and try to figure things out on my own, but there were times when better hints were necessary. After the Regional Phenomena quest, I was very confused and there was no indication that I was supposed to head to a certain village. Normally the game gives you enough hints to get started, but that pissed me off. I talked to everyone multiple times and everyone said to keep looking. I did give in a look at a guide at that point. Made me mad as I was enjoying listening carefully and figuring things out on my own.
This is the first Nintendo game have played completely through in over 10 years and it was a worthy experience. I started Breath of the Wild on Cemu, but never finished it.
