4. Pro: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Regardless of how it all turns out, the available footage and short gameplay clips from Breath of the Wild paint a Zelda that's ambitious take on such a storied and legendary franchise. Going open world for the first time, Nintendo appear to be designing a series of landscapes and environments that exemplify that mischievous nature inherent in all sandbox titles.

You can roll boulders onto Bokoblins from up-high, cook a variety of recipes for all sorts of stat and meter buffs, pick up a variety of weapons on your travels and explore scores of puzzle-ridden underground tombs. It's true that Zelda as a series has forever struggled to create an instalment that's more recommendable than the mighty Ocarina of Time, yet with a complete changeup in genre, Nintendo are hoping to create another landmark instalment future generations can begin to tell their kids about.

To be honest, making Zelda the premiere launch title for new hardware ensures those tens of thousands of owners looking for 'what to play' will end up at least checking it out. Re-sult.
