I found breath of the wild incredibly overrated and I'm saying that as the biggest fan of the series. It lacked all the key things that made Zelda games great. I kind of agree with this poster although he is maybe a bit too harsh.
I only have 4 problems with BOTW:
1. The temples are shite
This is the only big flaw, but boy is it a big one. The temples are generally the best thing about Zelda games, and they screwed that up. Not much more to say.
2. The final boss was too easy to defeat
I mean, the final boss has never been
that hard to defeat in 3D Zelda games, but this was just a little too easy. Minor flaw, but worth mentioning.
3. You can't climb when it's raining
Realistic? Yeah. Annoying as feck? YES!
4. No recipe book
Would make cooking so much more convenient.

I still maintain that it's one of the best Zelda games, though. Apart from the above, they did everything right(and then some). The story isn't great, but it never has been in Zelda games! This story is by no means worse than normal.
OOT was groundbreaking. MM and WW had amazing atmospheres. But BOTW is the most beautiful and fun 3D Zelda game to date, imo. It's also going to age better than the others(apart from WW maybe). If the temples were better, I'd have no problem claiming that BOTW is the best Zelda game ever by a comfortable margin.
