28:18 - What I like
Some of the new abilities like rewind & ascend look neat
Others like fuse & ultra hand where the highlight
Visually it looks a little bit better then BOTW

31:52 - What I didn’t like/mix/not sure
Still, concerns that some issues like the durability of weapons or scaling a mountain/hill might be an issue for those who hated that stuff in BOTW
