However, for all its sweeping changes and new features, the biggest issue withTOTKis its recycling of Hyrule.

The titular character deserves her chance to shine, too.

IfTOTKdoesn’t pick anewZeldasetting beyond Hyrule, then it needs to do more with Hyrule itself.

One of thebest aspects ofBOTWwas the contrast between its peaceful apocalyptic setting and the lively towns you could visit.

InBreath of the Wild, Link can’t simply enter the town like he can with all the others.

It is a female-dominated society that doesn’t welcome men, and so Link is rejected.
