my Breath of the Wild experience was pretty much split in two :
- the first big chunk of my playthrough happened the year I got my Switch, in 2018. I essentially spent most of my time just wandering around and discovering the whole map by foot. I didn't try to do anything in the main quest except maybe see Impa, I mainly wanted to discover more of the world and I eventually conquered all of the map's Towers without having done a single Divine Beast and not that many shrines (I sucked ass at puzzles).
- the second chunk I did end of 2022/beginning of 2023 cause I was hype for TOTK but still hadn't finished BOTW. I then reimerged myself into the game, locking in to do all Divine Beasts, a good number of shrines, get the Master Sword and beat Ganon.
I think what encapsulates this game's qualities is the fact I had the same amount of fun and discovery for both of these chunks, played years apart. what a game.
