I bought a switch game, The Legend of Zelda: breath of the wild, which my friends have recommended to me for a long time. After playing for one month, I was obsessed with it. However, when I first played the game, I thought it was a cliché game, a knight rescuing the princess in trouble. When I played for 3 hours, I understood why this game won numerous awards and received praise since its release.
The legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild is an open-world adventure game developed by Nintendo. It allows players to explore the world freely without linear storytelling or level-based structure. In Zelda, players can interact with NPC, collect Korok seeds, and travel around the virtual world. Even if players don’t rescue the princess is also ok for the gameplay. Me, I love exploring map that I haven’t been to before and collecting ingredients to make different recipes. I love the unique art style, which is visually stunning and filled with vibrant colours and details.
Figure 1: Player can travel around the map to collect Korok seeds by performing specific actions to increase inventory space for weapons, shields and bows.
Also, players role play as the knight Link and meet princess Zelda in Hyrule castle after falling asleep 100 years. I use meet instead of rescue because the game creates an independent princess. A hundred years ago, she was Link’s closest companion. In the game, she settled the injured Link and returned alone to the castle to defend the biggest antagonist Ganon. Zelda is not waiting for Link to save her; she’s waiting for her comrades to wake up, fight with her and bring peace to Hyrule land.
Nintendo officially said they would release the new game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom on May 12th; I can’t wait to play it!
