In short, BOTW is a fun, open ended game, but don't go in expecting your typical LoZ experience.
You wake up after 100 years with no memory or obligations, and appropriately, you are left to pretty much do whatever you want. There is an overarching quest to defeat the final boss, but what path you take is entirely up to you. You can run straight there to try to win in less than 30 minutes or you can explore the world at your leisure for 100s of hours; it is entirely up to you how you beat the game or whether you finish at all. The game won't nag you to complete a certain quest or area before moving on to the next one. You can try to slay powerful monsters or chase butterflies. You can learn to cook or recover your memory. Do what you want, when you want.
Unfortunately for long time fans of the franchise looking for the classic LoZ style game with large dungeons where you find new items that open up the world further, BOTW is a departure from that formula. You get all of the items/runes from the start of the game. While it does mean you have everything you need to start exploring immediately, you lose that sense of progression from previous games in the series, not to mention the satisfaction that came when you'd realize how the newly found item changed how you'd interact with the world. Lastly, this game's equivalents to dungeons are quite lacking. The problem solving in earlier installments has taken a back seat to BOTW's emphasis on exploration and freedom.

With 20% off new games, you break even after spending $150. Anything past that is pure savings. Unlike Amazon Prime, GCU continues to work after the first two weeks after release and even applies to sale prices, not just MSRP and is cheaper to boot.
