The first The Legend of Zelda I played, literally the first. In childhood, I played mostly Pokémon games from Nintendo and none other. But as time passed and after getting a little bored with playing PlayStation and Xbox games, I thought about giving other great companies a try. Here is what I think about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Breath of the Wild is a milestone in the gaming industry, offering an unprecedented exploration experience in a vibrant, multicolored, and dynamic open world. The freedom it gives all players to approach challenges in different ways is commendable, encouraging creativity and experimentation.
Yet, I can point out that, despite the vastness of the world, at times, one can feel a certain lack of variety in enemies and biomes. Furthermore, the weapon durability system, although it adds a strategic element, can be frustrating due to the frequent need for replacement and can certainly let many players down in times of need.
The narrative, although rich in lore and well-integrated into the world, could benefit from greater emotional depth and development of secondary characters. I liked the development of the champions, but I feel that if they wanted to, they could have done more side quests for other characters like exploring Impa, Paya, Purah, and quite a lot of other characters, who often seem to be there more to serve the game’s mechanics than to enrich the story.
In short, Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece that redefines the adventure genre but still has room for improvement in terms of content variety and narrative development. It’s a game that not only respects the player’s intelligence and curiosity but also celebrates these qualities.
My review? 4.5
