Abstract: I replayed the first 30 minutes of Rise of the Tomb Raider the other day. In it, I scaled a mountain, leaping from platform to platform while the environment around me crumbled. I then headed into a tomb, worked through a few puzzles, and triggered a high...

Easily 60 hours of gameplay, A complete and full world to explore, Difficult but not punishing, Encourages exploration and experimentation, Familiar, yet unlike any Zelda we've ever played
Framerate issues while docked
I've mentioned Ocarina of Time a few times, and there's a reason - it is the benchmark by which all other Zelda games are tested. Somehow, and beyond all of my expectations, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild exceeds that mark. I can confidently decl...

Abstract: Breath of the Wild doesn't feel like a Zelda game. At least, not at first.After being woken up from an abnormally long slumber by a mysterious voice, Link is immediately set loose into a Hyrule that's both larger and more threatening than any version of t...

Abstract: We're a week out from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and most of what I've seen and played is somewhat context-free open-world gallivanting. For a series remembered fondly for its oddball characters and personality, gallivanting is only part of t...
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a culmination of every small step Nintendo's made with the series resulting in one of the most satisfying games I've ever played...
All of what we've seen so far points to a complete reinvention of the classic Zelda formula. As with A Link Between Worlds, the rigid old ‘eight dungeons and a final boss' rulebook has been ripped up in favour of freeform play and exploration.Given it's b...

Abstract: Hyrule Castle is in ruins, and evil has already won.If the premise for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild doesn't entice you – telling a tale that's bleaker than any before it – then the open-world game surrounding it certainly should. Taking cues fr...

Abstract: Nintendo is currently drip feeding early adopters of the Switch with some very high quality first-party games. The hybrid console launched with Zelda: Breath of the Wild available, and just this week saw the launch of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. If you've plough...

The Champions' Ballad isn't the extra dose of story for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that many fans were expecting, but it would be churlish to turn down another chunk of hours with one of gaming's greatest achievements. Even better, those hour...
