It’s not so much that it was difficult, it’s that it felt a bit more unfair than BotW. It seemed like the regular grunts (Bokoblins etc.) were far tougher than they needed to be. Every single encampment of them would have a few silver ones and they’re just damage sponges - you just get through all your weapons just clearing out a small camp. Even the master sword felt like it used up a whole charge just taking out a few of those buggers. I shouldn’t have to completely rebuild and restock my weapon arsenal every time I clear out a small camp of fodder.

The game itself didn’t really feel much harder than BotW though. It’s just all these little encounters that annoyed me.

If true I hope we also get some new music alongside the classic ones. FZero soundtrack is superb.

Around 150 at the moment, I think. I completed the main game and the main side-quests that I had outstanding but am not really ready to leave, so I’m trying to fill out the Depths map, find remaining shrines and see what little sub-questions and missions I can find before I leave Hyrule for a while and go back to my normal, non-Zelda life.
