This game is amazing. There's a massive world with loads to do. There's weapons and items galore. There are puzzles and enemies to defeat. There are so many different regions to explore. The climbing alone is astounding. I spent about 150 hours on my first playthrough, and a good 100 more when I decided to do it all over again. I don't think I've ever sunk so much time into a game as I have with Breath of the Wild. It's so good. Love it.
