The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)

The original Switch adventure gives a long stretch of travel a wonderfully flexible objective: investigate the ridge, solve one shrine or simply find a safer route. You can make meaningful progress without committing to a full story chapter. The base game is the recommendation, with expansion content a separate preparation choice. Save in a quiet place before closing the software, and expect real-time fights to need your attention. This entry does not depend on the separate Switch 2 edition or its companion features.
