It's nice to read a less-than-glowing review of The Sculptor. I've only read a portion, and it did not strike me as the revelation that most critics have suggested.

Ah, memories. Thank you for momentarily transporting me back to the days of Yatta and Fett's Vette.

I wailed away at Ganon for half an hour to no effect, and nearly quit in frustration. Then I stopped using the biggoron sword.
