The much-hyped Nintendo Switch was released today along with its flagship game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
“And even after I’ve spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend 50 to 100 more trying to track down its fascinating moments.”

“Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game to date, and it accomplishes that simply by saying yes.”
“No matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality.”
GameInformer gave it – you guessed it – another perfect score.
“It represents a profound new direction for one of gaming’s best franchises and a new high point for open-world interactive experiences.”
And finally, Metro.co.uk could not love it any more.
@egoraptor It’s the best Zelda since video games

So basically every moment between now and me playing the new Zelda is just painstaking agony?
