Research says playing open world games can improve your sense of happiness! Name "Breath of the Wild"

　　Recently, a new scientific study found that certain games have a significant impact on people's quality of life and emotional health, and can improve their sense of happiness. A study published in the journal JMIR Serious Games shows that playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has positive effects on people with high anxiety and susceptibility to laziness.

The study found that the game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" can inspire players' sense of purpose and meaning, help them become calmer, more energetic in real life, and improve their learning ability. This open world design prompts players to maintain their desire to explore, and the temple challenges in the game require thinking, while the rewards and equipment they earn through hard work are also inspired.

　　In addition, the study also examines the interaction between movies and games. The researchers guided participants to watch studio Ghibli's classic movies such as "The Totoro" and "The Witch's Way" in addition to playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild". These nostalgic films further increase their sense of happiness by evoking memories of the good times in the past.
