This is such a great all-around Zelda game and isn't a huge time commitment either. It's very linear but there's plenty of random mini games and shops to explore. It also is a very special and unique Nintendo game and incorporates an early looking version of Kirby and has chain chomps from Mario. The art direction is "toy style" and it's incredibly polished. It's really one of those remakes where they didn't cut any corners.

You say "it's linear" like it's some disadvantage. I would gladly play a new linear Zelda again with huge dungeons and plenty of related puzzles. I loved botw and botw2 but it's just missing something, every mechanic, every puzzle is a one-off. Nothing depends on anything else.
