Top 10 Best Open World Games of All Time
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Nintendo kicked off the Nintendo Switch in the biggest possible way they could, the release of a brand new Zelda game. As if that wasn’t enough, Breath of the Wild ditches many of the traditional Zelda aspect by adopting an open world design, and an absolutely brilliant one at that. At their first shot, Nintendo made one of the best open world games ever.
Breath of the Wild is all about freedom, and unlike most open world games, you don’t have a load of icons on your map to tackle. Instead, Breath of the Wild rewards you simply by exploring, liberally sprinkling treasure, secrets, quests, and more for you to stumble upon. Even the main story of the game can be tackled in any order you want, encouraging you to take everything at your own pace and simply soak up the world. The absolute freedom and engaging exploration made Breath of the Wild feel like a revelation for open world games, and it easily sits at the top of a list of the best open world games of all time.
