What's more, you also have the ability to manually save anywhere. The penalty for dying is rarely terrible - you typically lose very little thanks to aggressive autosaves. This is a Zelda that kills you frequently, and often without warning. If Skyrim is our touchstone for the depth of variety in the world, Dark Souls sets a blueprint for the perils that await. It's easy to suddenly find yourself without weapons and surrounded by far more powerful enemies. The only difference here: there's nothing to stop you from actually visiting these places.

Breath of the Wild's sprawling map is dotted with points of interest that have nothing to do with the story. You'd also die very quickly, but that's not the point.
In Breath of the Wild, you can march right up to the final boss chamber within 30 or 40 minutes of starting. It's nothing like the "faux-pen world" of past games, where you needed an assortment of tools and doodads to empower exploration. This version of Hyrule is built for discovery.
