In a lot of ways Breath of the Wild is a standard Zelda title. It's an action role-playing adventure, following Link as he sets out to kill the evil sorcerer Ganon before this mythic monster can escape an enchanted castle and destroy Hyrule. You battle monsters, level up, collect new weapons and items, slowly gain the strength needed for the final showdown. But Breath of the Wild is much more than that. Featuring a full-physics system that lets you experiment with a host of interlocking elements, the game teaches you to be creative, attacking enemies and overcoming scenic obstacles in interesting ways.
