Overall, Breath of the Wild is a great game. In some respects, it brings Zelda back to its NES roots, while in others, it doesn’t really feel like a Zelda game at all. For me, it would have been perfect if there were traditional dungeons as the Divine Beasts were not particularly fun to play through, and while I think weapon durability is a cool idea, it would’ve been nice if weapons didn’t break so quickly. Lastly, I hope to never see another shrine with motion-control elements. Outside of those complaints, I really enjoyed my time with the game. Leisurely exploring Hyrule over the course of ~120 hours was time well spent.
