Well, that's the best part and what set BoTW apart (I do like the exploration tho even if when you think too much about the world things don't quite hold up to scrutiny like the lack of interesting enemies and the lack of story).Well you'd be wrong. Game is much better outside the gambling mechanics, the only thing botw has over genshin is having actual physics on objects instead of canned animations.
To even have gaming mechanics in a game to me is enough to disqualify as anything worth my time, the whole wifu thing is just as bad.
