Too short? What game were you playing me and many others have ploughed so many more hours in to botw than any other Zelda title. It was just mould breaking and encouraged free exploration over the classic formula of go to dungeon, get item, item opens path to next dungeon. It was very easy to get lost in and go off the path. Sure if you literally went beast to beast and then to the castle it would be fairly short but it was all about the adventure and getting lost off the path discovering things that really racked up the hours and never felt like you were wasting time doing busy work side missions.I absolutely loved both Ori titles but was really disappointed with BOTW even as a lifelong Zelda fan. It was a beautiful game but just to short and dumbed down
I still say hollow knight to everyone on this thread that hasn't played it yet it's one of the best metroidvanias and worth the low price. A but more freeing that dread in the path through and some of the bosses are harder, but again like dread, they are fair and beatable if you learn and chip away at them. Just don't do steel soul mode or the path of god's as that's just horrific with permadeath and boss rushes that are only for sadists.
