I would give it an honest 6. The overworld stuff is honestly excellent, but the dungeons are all more or less exactly the same, go to 5 points marked on your map while the obligatory dungeon buddy is like "WOW LINK! I wonder what will happen if we do (very obvious solution) to the (obvious dungeon themed dohickey)."
All the bosses are painfully easy, even the optional ones with there more of a damage sponge versions.
The story is one of the best for a Zelda title, but is pretty generic.
After playing for about 70 hours , I've gotten my fill and the replay value is a fair bit lower for me than BotW simply because of the depths being very boring and a huge part of the game. Doubling the shrines with lightbulbs is ... Uninspired. And while it is a neat way to use the height map to make the world twice as big it's a very boring zone.
If it were not for how fun the building devices was, which is the only thing that really carried the game for me, it would have been a 4 out of 10 for me.
