The unparalleled liberty this gives you to explore makes the so-called open worlds of other games feel like smoke and mirrors. Although has been one of the best years for games in memory, calling Breath of the Wild the best game of the year feels like insufficient praise.

It has several enemy encampments to teach you about combat, different climates that introduce you to stat-boosting food and clothing, and four shrines that mirror the four divine beast dungeons, which provide the main body of the challenge later on.
The player is subtly informed about waypoint-setting and quest markers, and pointed towards the end goal — Hyrule Castle. So BotW tells you that it is a game about exploration and leaves you largely undirected apart from a few interventions from a mysterious old man. Gentle encouragement and correction gives players a reason to keep going as they set self-directed goals get to Death Mountain or find out what that weird rock formation on top of the cliff is and figure out how to overcome their own limitations.
The Korok seed puzzles teach players to study the landscape, to discover the supernatural within the natural — just as we notice standing stones or crop circles when we go out walking in the countryside.
Most of the scenery in BotW is set dressing, but when we see a single rock standing alone from the rest, or trees appearing in neat, unnatural rows, we immediately take notice because they may represent a puzzle that will reveal one of the valuable seeds. The game also guides you through the placement of tall glowing structures like airport runways, lit up to guide you in safely. BotW, however, does not provide waypoint markers. Beardshaw also admires how the game tempts you along certain routes without ever telling you what to expect.
These are hardly the most subtle threads to pull, but in a world so large, and with so much to do, every successful piece of detective work feels like a reward. This means understanding body language, facial expressions and subtle hints, often used to convey information. Japanese language is often indirect: an allusion is actually a comment, a piece of advice is really a warning.
