The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the best games in the Zelda series, and it's a perfect time to play it, even if one has already beaten it in the past. Of course, there is always good reason to revisit great games, but Breath of the Wild has something special. It set the stage for the Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild is an open-world Zelda title that quickly earned itself a name as not only one of the best Zelda games, but one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch. Whether one is rushing through the story or taking their time by foraging and cooking, there is a lot to keep the player occupied in BOTW. It even managed to get a spinoff in the form of the timeline-changing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. There's a lot to like about Breath of the Wild, and that makes it just as worthy of being played again as any Legend of Zelda game.
Playing BOTW Is The Perfect Way To Prepare For Tears Of The Kingdom
A sequel to Breath of the Wild was anticipated for years before Tears of the Kingdom was finally announced. The game is already highly anticipated despite not being planned to come out until the middle of next year. That leaves players with a long wait before they'll be able to get their hands on the long-awaited next installment in the franchise. With so many months to wait until Tears of the Kingdom comes out, the best way to the time would be playing through Breath of the Wild.
Since Tears of the Kingdom is basically BOTW 2, sharpening one's skills with BOTW should help them to prepare for the new release. After all, as a direct sequel, it would not be a surprise if a lot of mechanics from the previous game got carried over. Refreshing oneself with things such as cooking and climbing will make it much easier to transition to the next game once it comes out. As a bonus, with Tears of the Kingdom still half a year away, that should provide players with plenty of time to not only re-familiarize themselves with BOTW, but master it.
Playing Breath of the Wild, even if it's not for the first time, is the perfect way to celebrate the Tears of the Kingdom. It's a good way to refresh one's memory while having fun at the same time. BOTW is worth replaying before TOTK comes out, and players who do so will be the most ready for when the new game releases.
A Game As Long As BOTW Is Great For The Long Holiday Season
The tail end of November is the beginning of an incredibly busy time of year. The holiday rush is just beginning, with people shopping heavily both online and in person. Schools will be going on winter break soon, leaving students with a few weeks away from their studies. A lot of people may struggle to find something to do over the holiday season when they aren't visiting family, and Breath of the Wild is a perfect option.
As mentioned previously, Breath of the Wild is a long game, full of places to explore and things to do. It's a game that keeps impressing with how much it has to offer, and even players trying to finish the story quickly will be enthralled by the game's scale. Players can even forget some of BOTW's features due to how much content it has. Starting a game of Breath of the Wild from scratch will keep a player entertained for days at the very least as they fight to survive the harsh early game before upgrading themselves enough to properly take the fight to Ganon's minions. It may be a game that takes a lot of commitment, but the quality of the adventure is well worth the effort. With a lot of people likely to have some free time in the coming weeks, it's worth getting into BOTW.
A long holiday can actually turn into a disappointing experience if one can't find anything to do to the time. Breath of the Wild, with its long story and large amount of content, is a perfect way to while away the hours. Even though the player can't name Link in BOTW, the game's quality is still well worth the playtime.
Breath Of The Wild Will Probably Be A Big Seller This Christmas
The holiday season is one of he biggest times of year for game sales, with Christmas alone featuring a lot of games and consoles being given out as gifts. As one may expect, Breath of the Wild, thanks to its rave reviews and legacy as a Zelda title, was a big seller when it came out. Come the holiday season, that trend is likely to repeat itself.
Of course, BOTW isn't likely to repeat its initial sales numbers, but there are factors in its favor for a profitable holiday. Tears of the Kingdom's release is a known factor, and that will also drive interest in Breath of the Wild. Tears of the Kingdom's release date reveal can only help, since now players know that the sequel is well on its way. The hype for Tears of the Kingdom is likely to translate into BOTW getting a boost in sales because of people who want to play it before the next game comes out. Thanks to that enthusiasm, a lot more people will likely have Breath of the Wild by the time the holidays are over.
If someone does manage to get Breath of the Wild as a present for Christmas or Hanukkah this year, then they'll be getting it at the perfect time. The holiday rush is one of the best times to get BOTW, as players will be able to play it and hopefully finish just as Tears of the Kingdom's release date approaches. There are still things to finish in BOTW before TOTK's release, and hopefully many more players will get that opportunity following the holidays.
Breath of the Wild is a fantastic game, so it's already worth replaying as is. However, with Tears of the Kingdom coming next year, playing its predecessor is a better idea than ever, and hopefully many more people will have the chance very soon. Breath of the Wild is a gaming masterpiece, and it deserves a revisit now more than ever.
