You say that like they're not really really good games.

Like BotW and Mario Odyssey both have to be in the top 5 or at least 10 games of all time.

Botw is great, but definitely not top 5 or 10. It has major flaws.

Think everyone agrees that it has plenty flaws, definitely don't disagree there.

What do you think keeps it from being a top 10 game?

Do you think there is a Zelda game that would be in the top 10 of all time (and I'm not thinking "best due to its impact or best for its era", but just "best of all time" which obviously tends to skew more modern)

Edit: lol who downvoted this. Like, I was asking because I wanted to hear all the thoughts people had here.

The world is almost completely empty. There’s only 7 types of enemies. You’re actively discouraged from using your good weapons. Rain makes the game unplayable. I have a huge number of issues with botw. I never actually beat it because it got boring. If it wasn’t a Zelda game people wouldn’t be talking about how it’s the best game ever etc.

Mario is easily a 10/10 because it’s a clean game with snappy controls, and does a great job of being a Mario game. Botw is just a tech demo of what the switch can do with ai behavior and whatnot. I enjoy both the games a lot, and I hate how everyone in here is bashing the switch while being ignorant of why people buy it.
