An impressively good game that, not least thanks to its spectacular open world, outshines even the best Zelda game to date, "Ocarina of Time" for the Nintendo 64/Nintendo 3DS.

With "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" there is another offshoot of the successful "Zelda" series on the Nintendo Switch, which is perhaps even THE best game on the game console.

However, the basic principle of the Zelda games remains the same: the player roams through the kingdom of Hyrule in the role of the elf boy Link in order to prove his skills and abilities in various dungeons.
At the end of the game there is a brilliant fight between good and evil, in which Link once again has to deal with his archenemy Ganondorf.
