I was incredibly on board with the main premise of the game, and had a great time with the story. I can see how others wouldn't be too impressed with it, as it's still somewhat basic compared to other games in the series, but I was completely sold by Zelda's characterization and story arc. Plus, I didn't actively hate any of the sages, which is a huge plus.

Rauru was a standout new character for me. Dude's an absolute beast, especially in the memory you get from the spirit dungeon. Ganon was fine, played very well by Matt Mercer, but I kinda wanted him more involved in the story.

Anyways, the story felt incredibly emotionally satisfying by the end. Which isn't something I can say for Breath of the Wild's story (though BotW had its moments).
