That brings us to the exploration element of BOTW. Instead players are treated to a massive open world that they can then choose to tackle in any order they’d like, barring if they are equipped to do so. That is not how you’ll be tackling Ganon this time around. These games were completed in a linear way, asking players to take complete parts of the story step-by-step. This is not unlike previous Zelda games of the past. Link sets out to restore his memories and put a stop to Ganon once again. All he is told is that both Zelda and Hyrule are once again in danger due to Calamity Ganon.
In Breath of the Wild, Link first wakes up with amnesia and is unable to remember where he is. It’s undoubtedly one of Nintendo’s crowning achievements, so let’s go over why. Developed for both the Nintendo Wii U and Switch consoles, this game released in 2017 to almost universal acclaim by both critics and fans.
Nintendo’s Zelda Breath of the Wild (BOTW) is certainly one of those games. There are very few games that can say they nail almost every aspect of the game.
