From our original review of Breath of the Wild: “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a groundbreaking title that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a wonderful sandbox full of mystery, with countless intriguing elements beckoning to be explored. I’ve experienced so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, each with a unique backstory that adds layers of storytelling. Even after spending more than 50 hours traversing Hyrule, I continually discover new surprises. I anticipate spending another 50 to 100 hours uncovering more of its captivating moments.”
