I used to always say that if the main character was silent in a story game then you can't have a good story.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild just blew that thought way out of my head. (Yes this is a love rant on why you should play it)
Now, it still is the "save Hyrule and Zelda by killing Ganon" archetype, don't get any incorrect notions, but it is better than ever.
The characters you meet and the places you go through makes this a real adventure game. They do not limit you to anything you want to do. You could go straight to the castle right after you wake up, for example. The sheer size of this game, the quality of the world, the art, and the variety of the world design makes this game art.
A bit off topic but I'm seeing a lot of people praising Horizon and Gravity Rush. While they are both very good (I've played most of both), Zelda is on another level. There is just more to do and the quality of what you do is higher.
As I said before, there are very little games that can truly label themselves a "true" adventure game and this is one of the few.
Edit spoiler (nothing on Zelda here):
[spoiler][i]I know this is an opinion, I am not forcing you to believe the same way I do. I strongly believe that this is simply a higher quality game that almost any other game (especially current games). I highly recommend that everyone gives it a play.[/i]
Edit1: I'm seeing a lot of people saying they won't buy one console for a game. I understand that hesitation and it's probably smarter than what I did. All I can say to you is that I understand, but it is worth it to play this game.[/spoiler]
[b]So what are your thoughts on this magnificent game?[/b] Negative or positive, all are welcome here.
