> I'm pretty objective since I've beaten every Zelda and I can't agree. Their games just aren't at the same level as anything modern.
A lot of "modern" games come with rough edges. I'm not saying that they're not good games, but you can tell it was a bunch of people working to crank out features, exercising every new capability their engine provides.
There's a level of polish that a lot of Nintendo games have. They don't necessarily try to push technical boundaries. They'll take a simple concept or gameplay paradigm and then attempt to be fully immersive within the scope of they've defined.
Modern AAA games feel like summer blockbusters. Marvel superhero films.
Nintendo games feel like Miyazaki. Breath of the Wild legitimately felt like playing through one of his films.
