What is there to say any more about this game? Sure, there are nitpicks to be had but Breath of the Wild is a 'perfect' adventure game that's always got you on your toes. The world is expansive yet purposeful in design with so many interesting and fun and even emotional points of gameplay that it may just be the best open world in any video game, ever. The story, while subtle and hands-off, is one of my favorites from the series due to its emotional simplicity and the arc that's spelled out for Zelda, who is at her best characterization here in this game, and a suggested arc for Link that's still really effective. I love the combat, and even like the weapon degradation system.
