This is an experience everybody has at some point. The reason is not that the world changed, but that you changed. Having more experience about life means being less excited. I guarantee, that nowaday's youth has the same excited experience about one RPG (e.g., maybe the current Zelda that was just released) that you had back in the day.
I played the first Zelda as a kid. I'm playing the latest Zelda as an adult that has three children. I'm talking over thirty years of video game playing.
Agreed as someone who is now in his 30s who has played games since he was 5. BOTW is something very special. I'm at the point now where I've done everything in the main quest but I'm delaying Ganon until I do a bunch more shrines and sidequests. I don't want it to end.
