      Fortunatelly the devs thought about that and as with all those new mechanics, they get easier to use the further you go so you have that "eureka" moment, like when you get the high jump boots in metroid games, "now i can use this new mechanic on those old hard mechanics ones so they are much better than before". hard to describe the game flow without spoiling. Just know that it just keeps getting better.

      Now I know... If Nintendo is marketing crafting, that's because they spent a lot of development time on this feature when they could have done something else appealing to me.

    Found my way into the depths a few times now. First time was intentional as the story kind of pushes you in that direction (you also have to go to the depths at least once to unlock the camera which is needed for some quest). Second time was a dumb mistake, I saw a well and jumped in without saving. In hindsight it was obvious since the well was surrounded by gloom. Third time was intentional as it's needed to get past the lost woods (as far as I know, it may be possible to come in from above). The depths are a bit scary at times though they don't get my heart racing like E.M.M.I. zones did in Metroid Dread (I actually waited to get TotK until after finally beating the final boss of Dread which I was stuck on for a long while).

      The switch isn't meant to be OC'd though, otherwise Nintendo would have allowed it out of the box. You shouldn't have to JailBreak your console to make the game run well, and it's not even clear what's even causing the frame dips since the art direction isn't a particularly realistic one, it shouldn't be so demanding unless the optimization is just bunk.

    I like the fact that you already had completed one temple and never got to the Underground, when you could get to the underground from the point where you was told where to go for the Temple(right after getting the paraglider), by going a bit south. That really shows how the game experience changes completely based on the player.

    I wouldn't call it a justification, but I've played Zelda 1, ALttP, and OoT all on original hardware recently in anticipation of ToTK, and I noticed that they have those framrate drops, too, especially when things get busy on screen. (Of course, OoT also only ran at 20 fps anyway). It's almost a Zelda tradition at this point; Zelda titles seem to have always pushed Nintendo's hardware to its limits. High framerates are nice, but it goes to show that they're not everything. (Not saying I wouldn't love for Zelda games to launch at 60 fps like alttp did, lol).

    DETAILED HANDS ON TOTK REVIEW:
    FORCED MINECRAFT:
    All I wanted to do was play Zelda, but instead was forced to play Minecraft. Building boats and all sorts of vehicles. This was NEVER part of Zelda and is as far from it's roots as one can get. If I were the boss at Nintendo, heads would roll over this BS!
    GRAPHICS SUCK:
    Visuals are extremely washed out and blan. No excuse for this.
    FPS IS TERRIBLE:
    The frames stagger like crazy in many areas, and even the best areas are still only so so.
    CHILDISH CRAP:
    The fusion and gluing things together makes me feel like I'm back in pre-school in arts & craft class, playing with crap just to see what happens. It was fun in class, but we're not in 2nd grade anymore.
    DIFFICULTY TOO MUCH:
    No way to change difficulty settings, this is a game breaker! In the beginning of the game, things will 2 hit you into an early grave. TOTK is trying to be Minecraft, Dark Souls and Zelda all at once.
    WEAPON BREAKING:
    3 hits on an enemy and my stick broke...THREE HITS! Nintendo needs to learn from Elder Scrolls 4 which did it right. It had weapons degrading also, but was OVER TIME, and they could be repaired. This 2 hit BS is the worst use of the weapon degrading system, out of all the games that ever used it in... GAMING HISTORY!
    BORING AS HELL:
    Playing for 3hrs now and I'm bored to tears. Building vehicles, gluing logs, walking around...sigh. Would rather watch paint dry. Would rather burn my feet with a match! Or fall of the top of 6ft step ladder.
    SHRINES...YAWN:
    Here we go again. Tons of shrines that's the same room, just different puzzles. The same look over & over until you vomit!
    SAME BORING MAP:
    Once I got down from the sky...yep...found myself in the same damn map as BOTW! I already walked all over this huge monstrosity of ''emptiness'' once before, for dozens of hours. Now back again. I'll find a tree for Link to sleep under, then go find myself a game with some content!
    CONCLUSION:
    After taking into account everything wrong with this Zelda wanna-be/Dark Souls/Minecraft... cannot figure out what it is game, it's only worth about $5 and should be in the bargain ben! And every once in a while drop it on sale for 99 cents.
    FINAL SCORE: 1 OUT OF 10
