In fact, as an "old" who literally grew up playing the original Zelda games on NES and SNES when they came out, I’d argue it’s the hardest Zelda game period. Breath of the Wild is, without question or debate, the hardest Zelda game of the last twenty years. Lets get Breath of the Wild’s demand that you take it seriously out of the way first, in case you haven’t been following the interviews and narrative surrounding it in the last year or so. But I have played enough to have some very strong opinions that are solidly formed, big surprises or changes of pace notwithstanding. This isn’t a review exactly - these thoughts aren’t final, as I’m not finished with the game. A quick bit of housekeeping: these impressions are based on a lot of time with a final, retail version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch.
