The article discusses a personal journey with The Legend of Zelda series, highlighting how the author, initially indifferent, found a connection through Breath Of The Wild. Growing up without exposure to the series, the author struggled with older titles due to a lack of nostalgia. However, the release of the Nintendo Switch and Breath Of The Wild in 2017 marked a turning point, allowing for a newfound appreciation and engagement with the franchise. The Switch's launch and its limited titles made Breath Of The Wild the standout game to experience.
I loved what it meant to gaming culture, listened to its many excellent soundtracks over the years, and respected how it moved game design forward.
When the Switch dropped in 2017, I was all in on Nintendo's grand experiment. It was the first console to launch after I graduated college.
Breath Of The Wild was the only title you had to play... My previous run-ins with the series didn't fill me with confidence, but I wasn't exactly swimming in options.
Even games considered the greatest of all time could be tough to go back to if you don't have the nostalgia to push you through its more obtuse mechanics.
