Your review makes it sound like your concerns with the narrative aren't addressed within the game, but they are with exemplary efficiency. So here's a spoiler warning and a summary of the salient plot points, in case you or anyone else finds it helpful.

I'm sorry we don't agree on the merit of the game's main quest. Breath of the Wild is pretty awesome, as evidenced by the rating I gave it. If you want me to give it a higher score and not point out the issues I had with the game, I don't know what to tell you.

I don't know why, but I can just picture Jason sitting bolt upright in the middle of a family meal and yelling "Someone's badmouthing Nintendo!" before running towards the nearest computer.
For us. For them. For you. |

I can see what you mean about the lack of mythology in a game rife with it. There are a couple of journals, but BotW is exceedingly light in the reading department. I'll give you that, and while you may not have enjoyed the cutscenes, I'll also agree I wanted to see more of the characters, and not just Zelda.
Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so... |

Honestgamer, thanks for the follow-up and apology, though it's not necessary as long as I know you're not trying to give me a hard time for having a different experience with a game you really like. Let's talk about Breath of the Wild. And of course, spoilers will abound.
