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 game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It offers a captivating sandbox filled with mystery, presenting countless intriguing elements that beckon exploration. I've embarked on numerous adventures in Breath of the Wild, each with a unique narrative leading up to it, creating stories within stories. Even after spending over 50 hours exploring the vast reaches of Hyrule, I continue to discover new wonders. I anticipate spending another 50 to 100 hours uncovering its fascinating moments."
