really dry and matter-of-fact but it’s a good retrospective. it’s very much in the abstract-driven academic writing, like if you wanted to cite a source on this game this book has everything you need. i honestly expected more commentary though, and if any it was surface-level. read this if you want to feel a bit nostalgic about the experience of playing botw, but i wouldn’t recommend if you’re looking for anything new and profound

also, this bothered me lol. author kept using the example of “using a tree trunk as a bridge to cross a canyon” yet in my entire maybe 300? hours in botw & totk combined i can’t think of a single canyon location where this would be a convenient solution. get to higher ground and use the paraglider bro that’s the authentic bow experience

i’d be interested to see what the author of the upcoming totk installment does with this concept though!! will be reading that

Cadeau d'anniversaire car je suis devenue passionnée du jeu Zelda breath of the Wild, ce fut une découverte intéressante! Un livre passionnant, très bien documenté, avec un niveau d'écriture de qualité et parfaitement digeste.
