Link loses himself in a huge open-world in Breath of The Wild.
One of the best Legend of Zelda games ever?
Which is where those foxes come in.
The hazy landscapes, dotted with unpredictable monsters and wild animals, contains echoes of a western game likeSkyrim.
Far more time is spent traversingBreath of the Wilds rugged landscape, which is by turns inviting and dangerous.
Attempt to travel into a mountainous region without preparation, and Link will freeze to death.

Then again,Breath of the Wildisnt about relentless action and swordplay, either.
While there are camps of vicious creatures all over Hyrule, the game doesnt force you to engage them.
Indeed, whats notable aboutBreath of the Wildis how scarce everything is.
Remember how rupees (the games currency), hearts, and arrows were seemingly everywhere in previousZeldaentries?
Thats no longer quite the case here.
Youll have to work for it.
Weapons have to be scavenged, purchased, or snatched from a fallen enemy.
Some will contain tricky one-room puzzles to solve; others will simply challenge you to fight the denizens within.
All of this givesBreath of the Wilda less rigid, structured feel than previousZeldagames.
(Post-release, the wealth ofBreath of the Wildplayer guides will likely be your salvation here.)
Its an example of how real the world ofBreath of the Wildfeels in the moment.
Above all,Breath of the Wildfeels at once natural and beautifully crafted.
For this writer,Breath of the Wildis one of the very finestZeldagames ever made.
