From our original review of Breath of the Wild: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a landmark game that redefines a 30-year-old franchise. It offers a mesmerizing sandbox filled with mysteries and endless exploration opportunities. My adventures in this game have been countless, each with its unique narrative, creating layers of stories within stories. Even after dedicating over 50 hours to exploring Hyrule's vast expanse, I continue to discover new elements. I anticipate spending another 50 to 100 hours uncovering more of its captivating moments."
