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.

Edited by Unforgiven: 3/14/2017 2:00:23 AMPlease STOP There is no justification for buying this right now. NONE! Prepare for a rant I cannot think of any sane person who buys a Nintendo Switch unless it is a gift for your child or significant other who is a huge fan of Zelda and wants the latest thing from Nintendo every time it comes out. I have money to spend on games but this seems such a huge waste of money. Even the richest person in the world would think twice about buying it. $300 -blam!-ing dollars. And another $70 for a decent controller. And only 1 game Zelda for another $60. This thing is way too expensive not to come with a game included. The thing is outdated right off the bat with only 720p. I mean 720p touchscreen and 32 gigs of storage and its mediocre specs. NO Mario game at launch? What is Nintendo thinking. No Mario Cart. No Mario World. I can't think of any other Nintendo games right now. Metroid? Whatever. I mean if anyone buys this right off the bat you do realize that Nintendo will probably release an HD version of this console eventually at same price point, and then there will be a lot more games. Because even tablets had nicer screens years ago. The battery life is crap. But Zelda is a great game. I am sure. Or I could spend $250 dollars, and get Playstation 4 Slim and get 500 gb Uncharted and have choice of hundreds of games which you can pick and choose from. Like oh I don't know the New Horizon Zero Dawn, and multitude of others. Even if you own a PS4, you could splurge and PS4 Pro or go back and buy the games you never even played like I dunno Bloodborne or Last of Us, or maybe God of War series. Or hundreds of others. Literally. I dunno it seems like a total waste of money. But hey what do I know. Or you could get Xbox one S, with same 500 gb, and that basic plastic controller that looks like a Child's toy with pack in game whatever it is Battlefield, and then buy discounted Halo and Gears of War, and whatever other titles they got. SMH honestly, whoever bought this is a fool. And I am guessing that you just don't have anything to spend money on or at probably so addicted to video games that you just decided that you would sell your soul to the devil. . There is no Virtual store yet? No video streaming? No web browser. And you can't store your saved games online? @_@.What ? This is 2017? Not 1987 right? This thing is not ready. This is a Beta console and everyone knows it. It is a PILE OF SHIT! And you idiots that bought this that are trying to justify buying it. Please STOP. Insert favorite meme here. You should feel ashamed. I would rather donate money to homeless person than buy this. ANd I hate donating money. have a great day
