    **** in the Wild.

    There are people on here rating this extra high to make up for troll reviews. They aren't even troll reviews. They're legit. This is not trying to counter balance anything. 0/10 is my honest score. I love Nintendo and Zelda. Been playing both since 1986. If you like running around a vast empty space, very slowly, collecting items and doing some beyond basic, boring    **** in the Wild.

This is not trying to counter balance anything. 0/10 is my honest score. I love Nintendo and Zelda. Been playing both since 1986. If you like running around a vast empty space, very slowly, collecting items and doing some beyond basic, boring puzzles with poor graphics and worse music then this is the game for you, that is practically all you do, run around an empty space. If you want the great graphics, music, gameplay, atmosphere, emotion, puzzles, bosses and dungeons synonymous with Zelda then save your money.

    This isn't Zelda branching out and trying new ideas, it is just destroying what was an exceptional gaming franchise. The new ideas were all s**t. ALL. It literally brought nothing good and turned something incredibly engaging and fun that I would skip meals to carry on playing, to something I could have switched off at any time, never played again in my life and not be remotely bothered if I never saw anything BotW related again ever.

    Had this been a bit of a poor game I didn't get much enjoyment out of I would have given a 3/10 but this is a poor game I was annoyed at wasting 6 hours of my life on. Virtually nothing happened other than a few fetch quests and a very annoying stamina gauge. The Skyward Sword stamina got on my nerves sometimes but this was a whole other level of unneccessary annoyance.

    The whole 6 hours I persevered with it was a frustration, the climbing, the empty world that everyone raves on about being so great to explore, the temporary weapons, the lack of music, the fetch quests, the worst voice acting imaginable, the terrible dungeons (if you can call them that). Just utter rubbish. If it wasn't Zelda no-one would have given it a 10, no one would have bought it and certainly not for £50. It is simply no fun to play. Worst Zelda I've played. Do yourself a favour and get a WiiU that you can play about 14 Zelda games on, including all of the best ones made and you can even play this junk on it too should you choose. Yes the loading times and animations on the WiiU will be just as bad as the Switch, so don't worry you'll still get time to make a brew between scenes. If you want to get a Switch for Zelda BotW don't bother. Get the WiiU and proper Zelda's. Switch is great but don't buy it if just for BotW.

    Whilst on the topic of WiiU, Xenoblade Chronicles X on WiiU destroys BotW on anything. The world is so much better designed. If you are going to enjoy running round an open world doing quests then the Xenoblade X world is leagues ahead of this. It is huge and beautiful and alive and has good music too.    … Expand

    The gameplay is 100% limited to Roll and Hit, typical of generic and industrial Souls Likes games, which are facilitated for players limited to pressing two buttons. The difference here is that we have more colors.

    The game copied several mechanics from other games like Ark Online, among others, but for an outdated platform that is the Switch, this can be innovative.

    I'm amazed how Nintendo manages to sell the same game for 30 years with the same story (Spoiler: no story) every time. Who knows, maybe next time they'll be able to innovate and make Link not lose his memory again.    … Expand

The dungeons were very disappointing compared to what the Zelda series has put out in the past with the temples and other dungeon-like locations. As someone who plays mostly RPGs the durability system really didn't work for me, felt very arcadey. I get why people like it, but it didn't do enough for me.… Expand

    This game is simply dreadful and encompasses all the things I hate about open world games, while adding a few other game mechanics that only make the game worse. The game started out okay but once I got out of the tutorial area things went downhill quickly. Any attempts to further progress the story was met with a swift end by any number of enemies that will one shot you and you will randomly encounter these enemies just trying to get from point A to point B. Getting more hearts and stamina in this game is a chore. You have to complete a trial which you have to find first just out in the wild with no real easy way to locate them. Then you have to complete 4 of them to get 1 more heart or a minimal increase to links stamina wheel. I lost my patience doing these trials really quickly. Link needs stamina to pretty much do anything running, swimming and climbing all consume stamina and Link has so very little of it that trying to get anywhere takes so long that I would just rather turn the game off. There is cooking in this game because of course. Cooking is also an activity that takes forever. You first have to find a cooking pot and ingredients again randomly out in the wild. You then have to navigate some menus before adding ingredients one at a time to links hands before tossing the ingredients in the cooking pot which the ingredients will dance around for a bit before you get the meal you cooked. The meal you cook typically gives you health or stamina and thats pretty much it. It all just wastes your time everything in this game is just a waste of your time. There is a weapon durability system that is awful makes me not even really want to fight anything. The only thing enemies drop are monster parts that can be used in cooking to make elixirs that give you buffs. No recovery hearts. No rupees. No anything that I play The Legend of Zelda games for. There are certain areas that you cant go to without appropriate clothing or food buffs because the areas are to hot or to cold. Just a very unfun game. I tried doing some sidequests but the only rewards I got were weapons and shields. Since these shatter like glass anytime I try to use them I just didnt bother anymore. Returned the game for a refund after playing for roughly 8 hours and the only reason I'm not giving the game a 0/10 is because the game works and the graphics are actually pretty nice. Everything else about Breath of the Wild is terrible.    … Expand

    A new evolving formula for the Legend of Zelda franchise! Does it succeed?

    Pros:
    + Visually beautiful.
    + Lots of stuff to do.
    + Combat while simple has its own mechanics.
    + Story seems interesting.

    Cons:
    - The bosses were a letdown.
    - The side quests are not that interesting.
    - Weapon durability system, not a fan of it.

It is quite common to get to places you can't defeat at that time, then you have to walk, walk, and walk more and grind, grind and grind more so you have to walk again and find other places you're not leveled up to face and then maybe you will be able to defeat the enemy from the befinning.

    Extensive and lifeless map, leaving the game proposal that is good in a boring and monotonous experience after a few hours of play. Meaningless missions that add absolutely nothing. Weak rewards that don't encourage the player to chase missions. No subtitles in other languages, mainly Portuguese (mainly for the price charged in Brazil).

    The most disruptive installment of the saga and the one that breaks the most conventions, that's why I don't like it at all, since it replaces a functional formula that everyone loved with an empty shell, very similar to other repetitive open worlds in the AAA industry

    Very disappointing step back from ocarina of time and twilight princess. Moving music, memorable characters, unique mechanics? You'll find none of that here, and they even managed to duck up the story. There's no journey or grand reveal, it's a survival sandbox with a simple linear goal in a way more akin to very early arcadey iterations before. There's no charming exposition to the startVery disappointing step back from ocarina of time and twilight princess. Moving music, memorable characters, unique mechanics? You'll find none of that here, and they even managed to duck up the story. There's no journey or grand reveal, it's a survival sandbox with a simple linear goal in a way more akin to very early arcadey iterations before. There's no charming exposition to the start of this one, you simply wake up and are introduced to a post apocalyptic world and the main boss. A main boss that has been stripped of any personality and can be beaten without even needing the master sword. There's charming wandering NPCs but no memorable named NPCs, just randoms with samey models and mannerisms.

    The open world gets old fast when you realize each zone is filled with the same activity.

    >Find a rock, put it in the circle, get a seed.
    >Find a shrine, put a ball in a hole, get a spirit orb.
    >Find ingredients, put them in a pot, get food.

    All the charm of every zone is robbed from these repetitive tasks that make up every reward and every reveal. Find a secret area? You get a ball in a hole puzzle shrine. Climb a difficult mountain? You get to pick up a rock and get a seed. Why do we need to do this? Well the answer is that 4 orbs translate to either one heart or stamina bar, which is basically gating survivability. At least it would be if you couldn't simply get food that gives you 20+ boosted hearts which TRIVIALIZES these rewards. I'd rather spend my time looking for big radishes to make 20+ boosted heart meals that do another **** golf puzzle ever again. It gets old after the twentieth time ffs.

    Now the final nail in the coffin for me was the horrible bosses and dungeons. The water dungeon and water boss was a **** joke. It was literally one room with three puzzles, and a slow predictable boss that I basically stunlocked by shooting it's eye. It was pathetic. The worst Zelda dungeon I've ever played. The scene of this giant power rangers elephant statue somehow swimming under the dam and through the river half is size was also pathetic. Such a downgrade it's a disgrace. And it didn't get much better from there. The other four bosses and dungeons aren't much better. There's also a whole system involving taking pictures and cataloging everything from plants to creatures, but who the **** wants to do that? The gameplay was fine but I can't get over the pitfalls. All in all, very disappointing.    … Expand

    Zelda used to be quality, fun games with an interesting world and not a big open space of mostly Empty plain or mountain which could easily be left out and not subtract anything of the game, in fact, it would add to leave out 70% of this empty world since it would mean less empty space to traverse to find something    Bullet points why it's just a decent game and a terrible Zelda:

    Zelda used to be quality, fun games with an interesting world and not a big open space of mostly Empty plain or mountain which could easily be left out and not subtract anything of the game, in fact, it would add to leave out 70% of this empty world since it would mean less empty space to traverse to find something interesting.

    The world had fun lore and story that made you follow it which BotW has almost nothing of and the only reason I excuse the empty, lifeless world is the lore of it being a 100 years after basically Armageddon.

    It was fun to engage with enemies and try different items to play around with them but weapons breaking all the time isn't fun at all. It only discourages to fight because you will only loose the weapons you have since most chest are locked behind "kill all enemies in the vicinity" flags and at best you get something worse that again, breaks after a few uses. If you at least had weak base equipment with the only special trait to be unbreakable and infinite use to fall back once you run out it would make this acceptable. Heck, not even the legendary Master Sword can't be used all the time since it needs recharging every so often.

    Zelda used to encourage exploration to find cool stuff but that doesn't apply anymore because at best you find more stuff that just breaks so you would not have any feeling of finding something precious, it's just throw away trash you could substitute whenever.

    Dungeons were fun and "awe-inspiring" and now all we get are puzzle rooms and mini-dungeons with annoying motion controls at time. You can't even call the divine beast a dungeon since they are so small and have little unique look to it.    … Expand

    - Weapons break too quickly. The fact that weapons break makes me not want to use fancier weapons unless it is for a big fight, which does not make the game fun.

    - While the graphics are good, I'm not a huge fan of the Wind Waker style art design.

    - Terrible story.

    - Terrible voice acting during cutscenes.

    - I don't like the "wink wink" humor, where they make references to previous Zelda games.

    - Link looks feminine and he swings a sword like a girl with palsy.

    - The "snappy" dialogue was annoying.

    - I got 1/4 of the way through the game and realized the whole game is just going to be more of the same shallow boring stuff that I did to that point. I wanted lots of mega-dungeons with special items in each that would unlock parts of the map that I couldn't travel in prior to those items.

    - There is no incentive to complete side quests since the reward tends to be more rupees rather than a bottle, or a piece of heart, or some item that would help in adventures.

    - The Yiga story started out serious, then evolved into a clown show. The fat Yiga leader made me cringe so hard. It made me pause to soak in how the makers of Zelda stooped this low in making such a corny scene out of something that was meant to be a bit more serious.

    The feeling I have is that people are blindly praising this game, blindly going along with the band-wagon of everyone else riding the hype. Maybe it would have been a good game without the Zelda name, but this is definitely not a Zelda game.

    To me the main argument against this game is its inflection of the licence. Zelda games were always a tale-like experience. With fairies, monsters, narratives, æsthetics. BotW isn't a tale. It has tales in it, but it is meant as a far too serious and realistic game, with its hazardous open-world, motorbike, Seikah slate (= smartphone, even taking pictures), etc.

    The irruption of technology and too realistic problematics makes it swing into something totally different.

    When playing, I don't wanna spend hours walking in a vast empty world looking for wood, food & goods that ultimately break, etc.

    I also don't need hyper-casual instant fun. I love long stories. But somehow BotW is absolutely not rewarding under several tens of hours; which means weeks and weeks to me.

    What remains: the OST, which as a composer I'll describe as a true contemporary masterpiece. I bought the 5-CDs and grinded every little corner of them 1 year before buying the game.    … Expand

    - The annoying, bullet sponge ancient guardians are everywhere. Their sound already makes me nuts.
    - The tutorial takes HOURS.
    - Cooking is terrible. It takes 10 times longer than it should because the menus are bad. It also makes combat meaningless, since you can negate every damage you take. They then "balanced" that by making enemies almost one-hit you, but you can still eat again. Combat just takes longer and takes many, many pauses and is honestly broken.
    - Weapons seem to be made of glass and break in 5 hits. Throwing them break them instantly. More inventory pauses everytime!
    - The same 5 enemies are repeated over and over again.
    - Only one attack button.
    - Backstabs sometimes just don't work.
    - Exploration is severely hindered by Link's ridiculously low stamina. Climbing is SLOW.
    - Rain. Nintendo decided it would be a good idea to make climbing impossible for 2 minutes with no way to speed up time during this. Thunderstorms can one-shot you if you don't take out metal equipment. Fun!

    Behind its pretty pretence and large 'open world', this game is empty, vapid and an absolute trainwreck of game design... Its superficial beauty is part of its marketing ploy and mass approval.

    Whilst Nintendo's push towards an open world for Zelda may be a praiseworthy change, the execution is utterly horrific. Considering the depth of dungeons, characters, stories, items and rewards in previous titles, BOTW fails on all of these fronts throughout.

    There are no meaningful rewards. There is no plight or direction to the story. There are no substantial characters. Nintendo put so much effort into making the large map, the actual game is missing!

    People f-around with the game physics and speed-running this game more than actually playing it.

    The game is basically running around an empty sandbox: the same 3 enemy types, a stale shrine to find, and meaningless collectibles.

    The fact that people praise this game is a symbol of the broken mainstream gaming industry. People don't want art, or an actually good game. They want to think that they're playing a masterpiece when actually they're lying to themselves. This game is the eptiome of an illusion of a 'great game' - pretty graphics - "ooh you can climb!". They've probably never played more than a sub-par game in their lives with all the vapid mobile and 'triple A' titles. Zelda is meant to represent the heart of gaming. It is meant to symbolise the creation of a game for the love of creating a game in itself...

    A constricted, linear world fits Zelda because it helps to create a coherent narrative - to establish tension, to progress characters, to introduce new areas and dungeons at the right time. An open-world destroys all of this - you cannot help but play a sandbox.

    People complain Skyward sword was too constrictive... BOTW prove the opposite is 10 times worse. I actually enjoying Skyward sword, but its problem is the same as BOTW - a weak story and narrative. Relationships, turmoil, sadness, fear, anger, loss, love - there are so many stories to tell - so beautiful and inspiring that bring so much life - way more than an 'open-world' gimmick. To blend the different media of game design, story-telling, sound design... That is what Zelda accomplished with Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask.

    You are wasting your time if you buy BOTW. It leads to nowhere. I've personally tried modding the game after a first playthrough and it only creates a short bit of superficial excitement.

    What actually made previous Zelda games meaningful in the first place? It was the fact that a clear sense of struggle was established at the outset. You come across dungeons that pull you closer to the world and characters as a result. You acquire new items and gear you have earned. Each dungeon takes time to figure out the puzzles. The difficulty is in the form of puzzle-solving and by overcoming the puzzle you are rewarded highly both by gear, story and character development. You become emotionally invested in the game, and thus it feels alive because of these game design elements.

    In BOTW this is all missing. They are releasing a sequel to BOTW which I hope improves upon these elements but I doubt it. It seems games don't know how to tell stories like they used to. It is both a creative and technical feat that requires careful game design.

    If you want a good Zelda game to play, pick up Twilight Princess. Despite its slow start, it has all the proper elements that make it a real masterpiece of a game. Look at indie games, look at game critiques. The mainstream scene is an absolute mess imo.    … Expand

Sometimes the filler puzzle dungeon would have a hammer or item I'd loot from a chest in the dungeons that would be needed to fulfill the puzzle. Often I would not be able to complete the puzzle before the item broke. I saved in the dungeon halfway since I was struggling with the puzzle and when I went to reload I could not loot a new weapon to try again.. I rate this game low for it's filler dungeons and even lower for making trying to save within them screw you over more! I paid full price for a very old game and I really don't like it.… Expand

    This game is bad, the paraglider is fun but the game Is just moving across an empty map with stupid shrines so you can grind enough to get master sword because that one won't break, the artstyle is good but the combat is **** elden ring has a better open world and better combat just buy elden ring but this game is quite bad

    The shrines that play a big part are extremely repetetive and booring. I would much rather take 10 quality dungeons to get lost in than this grind. The main dungeons are really short as well. There are no real rewards for your efforts which partly kills motivation to explore and do side quests.

    This game is unlike anything I have played before. This game revolutionised the way I think about open world games.

    Overrated game, mostly high rated by it's fans. It's a game with lots of grinding and no scenario at all! I'm all about the scenario, so this would be enough to give a zero there. The battle mechanics are obsolete and I try to understand what it really offered. The final boss, is harder not at his strongest form. The game is literally not guiding you, you can do whatever you like, even goOverrated game, mostly high rated by it's fans. It's a game with lots of grinding and no scenario at all!

If the name would not be Zelda, it would just be forgotten!… Expand

    The Legend Of Zelda, Breath Of The wild is hands down one of the best games i've ever played, if not my favorite. Easily making it into my top 3. Everything about it is simply beautiful.

    Storyline:
    The storyline is simple and yet never seems to cease capturing my interest. It does an amazing job of keeping you entertained with the game, and you can complete the story in only about 60 hours.    … Expand

    In Breath of the wild, the mechanics work and are fun, the controls feel nice and fluid, the graphics are superb, the shrines are a great addition to the Zelda franchise, and the cutscenes are amazing. overall the best game Iv'e ever played. you could buy a switch just for this game.

    I really wanted to like this game. I don't understand the hype though. Everything about it is just tedious. The climbing, not being able to swim hardly at all, running into overpowered enemies and dying whenever you try to explore, not knowing where to go, etc. People laud the exploration aspect but that's maybe my least favorite part.

And the game looks cartoony and the characters don't even talk! They just make annoying chirping noises. Plus your weapons constantly break, cooking is tedious and annoying, etc. I put in 35 hours and decided to put it down. Maybe I just didn't like it because I've never played a Zelda game before and am missing the nostalgic aspect.… Expand

    Where it takes mechanics from others in the industry, it improves upon them; where it introduces new ones, you slap your forehead in amazement that it hasn’t been done before. Breath of the Wild is development done right, and damn near the best game you’ll play all year.

    Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
