i really like how Link runs in BotW. Not only is the pace of his stamina regenerating actually kind of bicycle-pump satisfying when you get it down, but his hyperactive limbs flailing animation w/ sweatdrops flying everywhere is funny and cute to watch. It felt like kind of a clumsy game at first, but controlling BotW is fun and almost fluid at times
On that note, any game where you can or must slide is going to make me happy. probably because it makes me think of sledding. Shields in BotW are exclusively for shieldboarding and turn it into secretly the best snowboarding game in years, because it’s the only one where you can jump onto and off of the slopes with a parachute whenever you want.
