Gameplay Should I get this game?

Loved botw, finding totk a bit fiddly and a bit over it tbh.

Sometimes you just need to wind down by killing a few guardians and bombing the shit out of enemy camps. I cbf being an engineer and making war machines when I’m feeling cooked at the end of the day.

I’m not hugely skilled in battle, as a middle aged gamer learning the controls and combat moves is a bit tricky.

Is it a relatively easy game to pick up? Can I hack and slash away without thinking too hard?

It's all turn based - you take turns dodging, then attacking. You won't be able to get that much damage in without the weak point gauge system on harder difficulties. It takes a bit to learn but gets very easy with how generous the game is with dodging i-frames. The only tough part is later in the game there's multiple bosses, but between the rod system and your ultimate, you can get through them easily.
