The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open world game that retails for $60. One has to wonder if that is a fair price.
The most glaring omission in this game is an online multiplayer component. This shortcoming is not a consequence of a lack of development time, but a conscious decision by Nintendo that they didn't even want to implement one. That things can be very different has been demonstrated by Grand Theft Auto V, which also retailed for $60, but had robust online multiplayer modes in addition to all of its singleplayer content.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild also lacks a character editor, like it can be found in Skyrim, or at least the option to play as the gender you want. Players aren't provided with a choice. Speaking only for myself here, I prefer male characters.
The game focuses on its singleplayer element, but unfortunately the scope of its world, story and lore is limited. Unlike Final Fantasy XV, there was apparently never a need to produce a movie to go along with the game.
Without a doubt, a lot of corners were cut during the development process of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. So I pose the question: Charging $60 for all of this, is that really a fair price?
