The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2017 open world Zelda game for the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch, a launch title for the Switch. An amnesiac Link wakes on the Great Plateau and sets out to save Princess Zelda and stop Calamity Ganon. From there Hyrule is open, to be explored in a largely nonlinear order, with towers and shrines adding warp points. The shrines are also how Link grows, since clearing them earns Spirit Orbs, and four orbs trade for an extra heart or stamina point. Four Divine Beasts work as long, dungeon like puzzles. It was the first main Zelda with voice acting in cutscenes, though Link stays silent. Any direction is still worth taking today, because the world runs on systems and physics and even a simple environmental puzzle can have three or four solutions.
