It's been a few weeks since I haven't been on PSN and there's a reason for that. Considering that I looked at the new Zelda game, I never could get a chance to get my hands on it because I was busy with life and I really wished that I can get my hands on it for a long time. I went to the retail store, wondering if the game was there, but unfortunate turn of events struck me hard as all the copies were sold out in front of me. Was it really that good? Did it live up to its potential? My thoughts keep swirling... Life began to turn around as soon as my SL was hacked. The damages were real and I wanted my account to be on hold by the staff due to the damages that (attempted) me to pay for. And I thought, I could never ever get this game now... But then, I stumbled into an online store that was very helpful to me and kind enough to charge me the game for only $50. So, I jumped right in and paid for it considering that I never was charged for that hack (thanks to paypal siding with me).

And of course I had to play the waiting game but thankfully, it finally arrived quicker than expected by only a week later. I put that sucker into my Wii U and what do I get? A FREAKING mind blowing soul that I had been missing out. It was that good... This was the Zelda that I dreamed of. As a child from Ocarina of Time days, I can't help fathom how good that game was. To a degree, Breath of the Wild is like a cherry on top of that game, it was that amazing. This was the ultimate Zelda game that you wouldn't want it to end. Hyrule can never be this beautiful and you (as Link) make your own adventure in this vast world. The amount of content, the amount of fun, and the amount of adventure. It's Zelda meets Skyrim (only 1,000,000 times better). Link will have to survive in Hyrule by hunting, stay warm in cold temperatures, stay cool in high temperatures, make campfires, and make due in what equipment he has... Link will mountain climb, look over horizons, gliding with a paraglider, and recover his lost memories from 100 years. You have very little in what's going on, you have a little understanding about the game itself (in a very good way), and it's up to you in how to survive and defeat Calamity Ganon.

It's up to you in how you approach the story. You can either experience the story yourself or you go straight to Ganon. However, if you are underpowered, it's best you prepare for that moment anyway. Besides, do you wanna ruin the experience by running straight to Ganon? I sure as hell wouldn't. When I started playing this, I had VERY little in what I'm supposed to do but no pressure at all because the more you play, you'll learn new tips and have an understanding of the gameplay mechanics. And yes... you will die a lot... But that's okay, because you learn from your mistakes, right? Breath of the Wild is a glowing gem and it will be told in generations to come. I can promise you that. This will be a game that will inspire many adventure and fantasy games. Nintendo continues to surprise. I feel a little ashamed that I didn't get the Switch version, however, I am very happy that I got my hands on the Wii U version. I'm not sure about version differences but I had little care about it (considering that I can't afford a Switch anyway) and I probably would be happy either way.

This is a Zelda game that is twelve times bigger than Twilight Princess's Hyrule and it really shows. When I got myself a Wii U with a lack of games, I lost all hope from Nintendo and I felt my childhood died. However, when this came to the world, my hopes boosted up. As for the Switch opinions, I apologize, perhaps it has a chance after all and I am happy for that. I can't wait to see what the future holds for another Zelda game and if you ask me, 'now will you get a Switch?" Well... considering THIS, PROBABLY! God dammit... Oh well... I'm still waiting for that price drop lol. For 20 years of gaming, I thought I would never see a day that a game would be this amazing like those two gems. Breath of the Wild is at that standpoint right now. There are SOME things that I want to complain about such as frame rate issues, some annoying voice acting, but that to me is one MINOR thing and it didn't piss me off. Hey, as long as it doesn't have the CDI voice acting, I'm good for that. Anyway, is this beside with Chrono Trigger and Ocarina of Time? The answer is..... freaking yes!

Overall: 11/10 (PHENOMENAL) and one of the greatest games I have ever played in this gen, period.
