The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

SCORE: 70

I lost track how many hours I spent in the open world of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch. There is so much to see and do in this game. The storyline is actually interesting. Link failed and has to be restored. It took one hundred years for that to happen. We can climb anywhere in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. As long as we have enough stamina. The stamina bar is a nice addition.

The issues families will have with The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild are violence, enticement to lust, magic, spirits, false goddess, blood, and gore. Cooking is a big part of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. I thought it was weird we earned monster guts from certain creatures. Weapons break quite frequently in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. I had to find these seeds and upgrade how many weapons I could carry at a time.

There are shrine puzzles that give us spirit orbs. After we get four orbs we pray to an idol of a false goddess and she grants us another heart or more stamina. There are four Divine Beasts in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild that we must conquer (like a dungeon). After beating the bosses there we get another heart. Towers are in each region of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Putting our Sheikah Slate on them reveals what the region looks like. We can fast travel to towers and to shrines.

We need certain items to survive the cold and the heat in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. They have a time limit. So we then need to find the right armor to be able to handle the areas properly. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is much harder than previous Zelda video games. Expect to grind for meat, fish, and currency. In fact we do not get currency from grass anymore. Instead we need to sell items like things we cooked. Eating food restores our hearts.

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is huge in terms of its size. After playing through it I still question the sixty dollar price tag. This Switch game would be better at forty dollars brand new. This game should have been rated ‘T’.
