"Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is the game of the year for 2017. But did it deserve it?
In my opinion? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Please don't misunderstand me; I love the game. It's gorgeous to look at, challenging to play, and so very absorbing with the open-world aspect. I just don't think it should have been a Zelda game. It was too disconnected from the franchise as a whole to be appreciated as such. And, take away the Zelda franchise labels from this game's elements, and what do you have? Yet another open-world resource-based game. And that is not game of the year-material.
