It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first 3D open-world game in the Zelda series.

While the game still has environmental obstacles such as weather effects, inhospitable lands, or powerful enemies, many of them can be overcome using the right method. A lot of critics ranked Breath of the Wild as one of the best video games of all time.
