Story setup, genre fit, and buying context for players deciding whether to buy, rate, or save The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for later.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first 3D open-world game in the Zelda series. Link can travel anywhere and be equipped with weapons and armor found throughout the world to grant him various bonuses. Unlike many games in the series, Breath of the Wild does not impose a specific order in which quests or dungeons must be completed. While the game still has environmental obstacles such as weather effects, inhospitable lands, or powerful enemies, many of them can be overcome using the right method. A lot of critics ranked Breath of the Wild as one of the best video games of all time.

An open world adventure of your own - Part 1

1

0

This game gives you sooooo much agency that you will frequently forget WHAT you were supposed to be doing. What makes this different to most other open world games is that it's not sidequests that are necessarily distracting you, it's the game systems. Climbing, swimming, running, and horseback riding all feel like their own mini games. Combat has a tremendously high skill ceiling. The best part about this game is getting lost in those systems, and getting better at them.
