Lets get Breath of the Wild's demand that you take it seriously out of the way first, in case you haven't been following the interviews and narrative surrounding it in the last year or so. Breath of the Wild is, without question or debate, the hardest Zelda game of the last twenty years. In fact, as an ”old" who literally grew up playing the original Zelda games on NES and SNES when they came out, I'd argue it's the hardest Zelda game period. The first twenty minutes or so are pretty low key — you can kill the scrub bokoblins and other minor enemies you meet without much trouble using nothing more than a tree branch picked up off the ground. But once you leave the initial learning spaces and venture into more typical zones, you're probably going to die.
