The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 10+
Recommended play time: 1-2 hours a day, with planned breaks.
Oh my, 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild'! My eldest son (15) played this for months, and even my middle daughter (13) got hooked. I, Papa Chaim from Nes Ziona, don't really understand all these 'quests,' but I learned a bit to talk with them, and I want to share what I've discovered with you.
What is this game
Listen, it's a game where you travel around a huge, open world, and you're the main character Link (that's his name, it took me a week to figure that out), and he needs to save a princess named Zelda from some great evil. There are tons of things to do there – explore, solve puzzles, fight monsters (nothing scary, more funny), cook, and even climb mountains and glide with a paraglider. It's like an adventure movie where you're the hero.
