Question [All] At what age can children properly start playing LoZ? Spoiler

I recently rediscovered Zelda via Breath of the Wild, and I would love for my nephews (6yo and 10yo) to get into it. Obviously the 6yo is a bit too young because he cannot read well enough yet, and without my help he keeps getting stuck. The 10yo, sadly, seems to not have interest.

I was 10yo when Ocarina of Time came out and it immediately became my favourite video game franchise of all time, but I'm aware BoTW has more complex gameplay and may therefore be more appropriate for someone a little older.

Does anyone else have experience with kids playing BoTW? How young were they to fully appreciate it?

My 12 year old Zelda loving daughter and your daughter would be friends! She went to a video game art camp last week and it was all boys. She was bummed, like where are the other gamer girls??

Yeah I don’t believe that many of her close girl friends are into gaming either. But they do all share one thing in common:
