20 Stunning Open World Game Areas That Left You SPEECHLESS

5. Korok Forest (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

Realistically speaking, every inch of Hyrule in this beloved Nintendo title could leave you speechless. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild brought this seminal video game setting to life in a way that felt absolutely magical. After so many years, Nintendo still knew how to make its cherished fantasy kingdom fresh and exciting. 

When picking one location, however, it's easy to settle on Korok Forest. 

For a start, they really make you work for it, as the forest is hidden within the mysterious Lost Woods, a location that actively obfuscates your directions. However, once you've finally cracked it, you'll find the time worth it as you enter this green paradise. 

Korok Forest is a sunlit haven full of adorable Koroks having a good time. This version of the forest is teeming with beauty thanks to the bright foliage and gorgeous streams of sunlight breaking through the trees. Topping off this gorgeous locale is the all-mighty Deku Tree and the legendary Master Sword just in front of it.  

Admittedly, it's an area so pretty it'll tank your frame rate, but if that's the price to pay, then so be it.
