Beyond the gorgeous scenery, the beautiful soundtrack and the luscious visuals the game is SO expansive. You can literally go anywhere, do anything and explore to your heart's content. From what i've seen of the story itself, it perfectly captures the magic of the series with so much nostalgia and moves it forward. I have no idea where the story is going but I can't wait to see it develop. A real gem of a game and a must have.

Whenever I've finished that, I'll buy Breath of the Wild! I'm glad htat you're enjoying the game, Bal! . A few months ago I had a little go at BotW on my friend's console (but mainly I just watched him playing it) and it really is a beautiful looking & expansive game, which requires a lot of thought / tactics.

Hopefully this time the game sticks with me, I’ve picked it up and put it down so many times now. This post has been edited by Aaron.: 29th April 2023, 04:29 PM

I did visit the Dueling Peaks Tower, Lake Tower and Wastelands Tower opening up the map for me for Dueling Peaks, Lake and Wasteland. I did try and unlock the Central Hyrule Tower, but wasn't able to bypass the Monsters to complete, so will go back to that. I collected Majora's Mask which makes the game much easier for me. I've also found about 20 Korok's (a few on my own as well!). Yesterday I basically explored Outpost Ruins, Scout Hill and made it to Kakariko Village. I did stop off at Hestu and added additional inventory for weapons and bows. Next for me is to get the Climber's Bandana, finding the Fairy and completing a few more Shrines for additional Health and Stamina. After this, either going to explore some more of Lake or Wasteland. So yes, after 5 years - this may be something I can finally tackle! A big accomplishment for me, I'm not much of a gamer... the only games I've completed would be Pokemon. The only games outside of this that I've really spent any time with is the likes of Mario Kart and Mario Party - so something like this finally capturing my attention is great.
