Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Review)

A new game, which is the latest chapter in one of the most sacred franchises in gaming history. It is the undisputed crown jewel in the launch of the Nintendo Switch. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise and is a truly jaw dropping game with such an open world. I have had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each one has a unique story behind what led me to them, making them stories on top of stories. And even after I have spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I am still able to come across things I have not come across before. I will easily spend over 100 more hours trying to track down and explore all it has to offer. I guess, in the end, it is not just that Breath of the Wild signals that the series has finally evolved and moved past the structure it has stayed with for such a long time. It is that the development in question and Nintendo is finally treating their fan base like intelligent people. That newfound prestige has led to something so great, and special, and mind-blowing. But in such a big open world full of drastic changes, Breath of the Wild also almost always feels like a Zelda game and establishes itself as the game to be reckoned with. This game is something we have not seen from Zelda in almost two decades.
