I'm going to start this off by admitting that I never intended to do an analysis of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW). Something of such a massive scale was a little intimidating to write on, especially considering that it's been months since I finished the game, and my memory isn't exactly great.

Ubisoft decided to take their resident mascots … [Read more...]
