When one talks about excellent open-world games, the last name that anyone would've thought of before 2017 would be Nintendo. While the developer is certainly one of the greatest and most important gaming companies of all time, they were known more for experimentation with new gameplay forms and opposed to conforming to established norms. However, this perception was turned on its head with the release of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, which just might be the greatest open-world game ever made. The combat, difficulty, progression, story, and wondrous sense of exploration are just a few of the many elements that this game has executed with the highest level of excellence.
