What can I say? It's Breath of the Wild, the first open world Legend of Zelda game. And it does being an open world fairly well, with there being things to look at all over the map. You're encouraged to gather and craft food items, which gives you incentive to remember where the best ingredients on the map are. And the game and story itself are fun, with a sense of responsibility that hangs over both Zelda and Link like the sword of Damocles within the text.

I do think that the motion controls are significantly worse on the Switch than they were on the Wii U, since the game was obviously initially conceived with the Wii U's game pad in mind. Still a good game.
