@RogerRoger Interesting! Wouldn't have imagined you'd have ever had the opportunity to play this game.
Out of interest, do you have any experience with BotW?
@Ralizah Yep. Played it back at launch, on my partner's Switch. He'd run around exploring, chatting to NPCs and cooking in my absence, doing the shrines he felt able to do, and then I'd visit for a couple days every other week and fight all the enemies and boss battles for him, as well as clear the fiddly leftover shrines. He'd take clips of important or sweet story beats, as well as screenshots of cool things he'd found, and get me back up-to-speed so that I had context for my actions.
We stopped short of completing the story because on the way to the finale, a sub-boss kicked my butt and I rage-quit.

You could argue that «well BOTW to me was a perfect game» and
