This game took me 7....yes 7 attempts to do a full playthrough!

So everything i played Breath of the Wild i'd get a few hours in and either get lost, confused, both or just fed up
I don't know why but when i came around after a year to trying it for the 7th time, I loved it!

Gameplay: The Combat too Breath of the Wild is alot of fun, it can take a little to get used to at the start with some of the controls, how to change which weapon/bow/shield you're using but once you get the hang of it the combat is really fun, enemies that are tougher than others and one thing that took me the longest is timing the laser shots to parry them back at the guardians to kill them.
Throughout the game you get More clothing options that add their own stats and allow you to get into different area's on the map but either disguise or helping with the heat/coldness of that area.

You also get more weapons and a good variety the further you go, same with the bows unfortunaltly unless you get the Master Sword then all weapons will eventually break but you get used to it and find plenty as you're exploring anyway

Speaking of Exploring, It's definitely worth finding all the different shrines so you can trade each 4 orbs in and have an upgrade to either your health and stamina which help immensely later on in the game plus they're quite fun with some really clever puzzles which make it feel more rewarding.

The Story i found to be, okay at best, I mean it's fun doing side quests, the divine beasts, meeting the characters in the world and experiencing a number of places and challenges but i feel some of the stories in other Zelda games have been better than this one but that doesn't mean to say it's not fun because it certainly is

The Soundtrack is good too! Again some of the older games are better but this soundtrack is still fun to listen too especially when it kicks up at certain parts of the story and missions, some of the soundtrack is very catchy and the use of sounds around you helps determine where an enemy might be, Or the beeping to tell you there's a shrine nearby and so on.

Definitely worth playing this if you haven't already, if it's your first time, Don't do what i did. Have patience, Enjoy the ride and play how you want to!
