'Zelda: Breath of the Wild' Is Curing Me Of An Addiction I Didn't Know I Had

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LIKE THINGS?" one of my Twitter followers yelled at me yesterday as I tweeted about how the Switch seemed a bit too big to be as portable as many would like. It's true that I am on the glass half empty side of analysis more often than not, and as such, I was expecting that I may not be quite as over the moon about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as most reviewers, handing the game so many perfect 10s it's now one of the best-reviewed games ever made. But even cynicism has its limits, and so far, after a manageable learning curve, Zelda has broken me. I don't want to give a full review right now of how all the mechanics work and this and that, I want to explain how and why it made me a convert, after I felt a bit weird about the game initially. In short, playing Breath of the Wild feels like I'm being cured of an addiction I didn't know I had.
