PAGE 25 Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild It's hard to see a best games of the year list not feature a console Zelda title the year it released. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is no different as it's a fantastic game that both critics and gamers can agree on in most respects. Nintendo knocked this iteration of the series out of the park not just because it was a Zelda title (rememebr that Skyward Sword was an unfinished mess), but because they took a number of risks in terms of the franchise. We are hard-pressed to find another game from 2017 that had so many "wow" moments than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's a charming experience that turns the genre on its head, and show that Nintendo has more than a little life left this console generation. GAMBIT
