Breath of the Wild is by far one of the best games I have ever played, with beautiful art, amazing music, and a stunning world with so much to explore you could spend hours in just one town and keep discovering new aspects of it. Combining direct combat, strategy and puzzles, this game has a balance which can suit numerous gaming styles.
Breath of the Wild's open world is not only visually stunning, but it is so detailed it's insane. It's riddled with so many things to discover and little secrets it would be nearly impossible to find them all your first time around, and yet they aren't essential to the plot's completion. This game allows the player to choose what they'd rather spend their time on, they can either pursue the main goal in defeating the villain right away, focus on getting as strong as you possibly can, engage in side quests, or simply explore Hyrule and discover all its secrets.
I think one of the coolest things about this game is that while each side quest and completing all the shrines have its purpose, unlocking new aspects and rewarding the player, they aren't necessary. From the get-go, Link is capable of the same forms of combat as he is later in the game, it's up to the player to choose how to progress, while that can either be in focusing on increasing his health gauge or upgrading his equipment, the way you play is entirely up to you.
I find this game so well thought out and just very desirable in its mechanics, and I love it so much I cannot put it into words. Breath of the Wild has everything I enjoy in a game, and I personally believe it is 100% worth it.
