The Zelda franchise has spanned dozens of games over the past few decades, but "Breath of the Wild" is the first Zelda game to get the open-world treatment. Unlike previous Zelda games, "Breath of the Wild" has an open-world concept so you can explore and complete missions however you want. Getting used to controlling the game and the overall design is generally very easy too, and we immediately fell in love with the artwork. We would really argue that this is one of the more beautiful Nintendo Switch games out there despite the fact that the beautiful art can result in some dropped frames at times. Instead it's aimed at simply offering nicely-designed artwork which is colorful and well-animated.

As is usually the case with Nintendo Switch games, the game isn't built to be ultra photo-realistic. You'll also start to get familiar with the overall design of the game, which is absolutely beautiful. You'll also get introduced to the Shiekah Slate, which is how you'll get special moves, look at the map, and so on. You won't know exactly why right away, but after a small video, you'll understand the backstory, be able to control Link, and get acquainted with some of the controls themselves. Turns out that Link's been asleep for a while - 100 years in fact.
