How about, My Time At Portia? Currently on sale for £6.24 on the eShop
Just started playing 3d World and have to say, im not wowed so far. I am only about an hour in but it all very very limited and short. By the time you are getting into a level its all over. Feels very much like style over substance. It worked really well for Mario galaxy but thats maybe because it was such a novel concept and it was truly 3D. Hoping that it gets better.
I did worry about this a bit but everyone seems to rave about it like its the second coming. All the reviews of the revised version have almost entirely been 9/10 which to my mind is bizzare even if it was considered 9/10 8 years ago.
I don't feel like the game rewards me for exploration (or in this case, turning over every stone because there isn't much exploration) and I don't feel that sense of achievement when I get to the end of the short levels.
Really, what's not to like about BotW?
I am the same. I prefer the older style of Zelda games like Link to the Past and Links Awakening. BotW just has too much to do and keep track of. I'd prefer if it could have been a bit more linear.
As Steve said, just prefer the older style Zelda games.
Admittedly I never got that far into BOTW before I sold my previous Switch. Will most likely pick it up again.
My copy of Super Mario 3D World arrived yesterday (from Amazon too).
Have only played Bowser's Fury but loving it. Visually, very appealing and love the short sharp gameplay mechanics.
Having played 3D world on the WiiU - I know what to expect from this re-release. I will play it through with my kids on co-op.

Give BOTW time. It didn't captivate me to begin with either. In fact I put it back in its box for weeks after only a few hours. But I realised I need to forget what I knew about previous Zelda games - this was about exploring! I used to look at the map and just say to myself "right, I am going to go there tonight" and just explore. Played that one 95% in handheld mode too.

It’s a big departure from the traditional Zelda games, so for people who liked the music, dungeons, quests, and unlockable weapons of the series might not like the new style.
No, you're all wrong... 
I do get it, I'm the reverse, the old Zelda's were like little puzzle boxes and so linear I found them dull, in particular the dungeons.
I just started another playthrough of BotW and it still blows me away, especially the beginning when you don't have much stuff.
My first time playing through is without doubt one of the best gaming experiences I've had, and BotW is probably my favourite game of all time.

One of my favourite games of all time!
The level design can be really varied and creative.
It is really fun as a multiplayer game. I love it because I played it a lot with my kids.
Most Zelda games have you start with hardly any stuff in the beginning. You've usually got to find your sword or shield and gradually build up your weapons etc.No, you're all wrong...

I I just prefer the simpler story games. I know roughly where to go and I don't have hundreds of hours to put into a game.
I still rank ALTTP as one of my all time favourite games. Still play through it regularly.
I didn’t like BOTW to begin with, I actually ended up selling it. I bought it again and it got so much better. I found the beginning brutally difficult (and tbh, I still think it’s one of the hardest games I’ve played) but once you start building up your inventory and get the hang of the combat it’s absolutely fantastic.
