Puzzles seem a little easier, average enemy seems a little harder, boss fights seem somewhat comparable. On the whole, so far it seems like very similar difficulty to me (though bigger and longer)

@JimHays Interesting, lots of the puzzles to me have been kinda inscrutable

@TiredCliche A larger percentage of the shrines seem to be tutorials, both explicitly (here’s how to do x combat technique) and implicitly (here’s a new Zonai device that you’re going to need, and here’s how to use it).

@JimHays Apparently the adjustable difficulty is more aggressive, so while the average enemy seemed harder, that was in part because I came in already skilled at fighting them. Players who were newer to the game/not as skilled at combat would have had easier enemies

Fire Emblem engage was much easier than 3H, and BOTW was more difficult than the other games since at least MM (so I'd expect some mean-reversion). 70% seems high.
