    Boring uninspired game. Don't listen to fanboys praising this terrible game because they want to justify their purchase of bad console! But mark my words this game will be forgotten in a year!

    This game is bad, its an open world adventure where you are in a empty world. The rewards for exploring are just items that will break after using them 5 minutes.

    É um jogo que é completamente desprovido de história, nada comparado com a grande Princesa Twilight ou a mítica Ocarina of Time, mesmo Skyward Sword é muito melhor

    La verdad es que esperaba algo mejor, no digo que sea mal juego pero después del Ocarina of time siento que me ha quedado un vacío, no tengo nada en contra pero por mi parte me esperaba más.

    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.

    900p/30fps on dock, has problems staying at 30fps while docked, runs fine in handled, but feels very clunky either way. not what I was hoping for from a zelda game.

    The game is very over rated. Aside from performance issues, mediocre graphics and stability issues, the game suffers from mediocre controls, the inability to remap the controls at all and random crashes. The high ratings for this game are simply because of its name. It's literally only in 900p FFS.

    The glitches make this game almost unplayable, the lack of a numbered level system means you sometimes fight enemies with no way of knowing how powerful they are, and the horse controls are so clunky and awkward that even using a horse just isn't worth the trouble. This game is extremely overrated, just go with RDR2 or Witcher 3, trust me.

    Simply put, nowhere near as great as previous games in the series.

    This game would be fantastic IF it didn't have limited stamina or weapon and shield fragility; both of these are nothing more than unnecessary hindrances and limitations that ruin various aspects of gameplay. If your stamina gauge runs out, you're forced to wait for it to refill, which is a waste of time and not fun
    Simply put, nowhere near as great as previous games in the series.

    This game would be fantastic IF it didn't have limited stamina or weapon and shield fragility; both of these are nothing more than unnecessary hindrances and limitations that ruin various aspects of gameplay.

    If your stamina gauge runs out, you're forced to wait for it to refill, which is a waste of time and not fun at all. It's especially bad when climbing, since running out means falling off and likely dying. If you manage to reach a foothold to recharge your stamina, you're stuck on that foothold until the gauge refills. The same applies to rain, by the way.

    As for weapon and shield fragility, this hindrance renders combat a net negative, since you'll almost always come out with broken gear and acquiring worse equipment than what was used. In previous games, the random Bokoblin was nothing more than a second's distraction to try to get a few more Rupees or a heart, since there was no downside to slaying them on your way to a collectible or story progression. In Breath of the Wild, random enemies are to be avoided since they'll just result in broken equipment with absolutely nothing worthwhile to show for it.
    Furthermore, weapon and shield fragility inherently lowers the value of high-quality loot, since it'll break all the same. Literally everything is breakable and worthless because of this stupid mechanic.

    Other open-world games have done well without these hindrances - Skyrim, for example, lacks weapon/shield fragility, while Assassin's Creed lacks both. Middle-earth also lacks either hindrance. These games know that artificially limiting the player is an inherent negative. Furthermore, there's been much more compelling Legend of Zelda games too - Twilight Princess has fantastic characters, a wonderful plot, unforgettably-good dungeons, and flawless gameplay across all three releases. The Wind Waker has better combat, a more interesting Link, an actual narrative, and better dungeons. Link's Awakening has a more compelling world and characters, interesting dungeons and fun gameplay.

    Oh Breath of the Wild, you had so much potential, where should I start…

    Oh Breath of the Wild, you had so much potential, where should I start…

    -The Good-
    • Graphics: Although the graphics are stylized which is usually something I dislike greatly, they actually pulled it off well in Breath of the Wild, it makes for a very beautiful game.
    • Wildlife: The wildlife is actually quite a bit of fun to hunt.
    • Voice Acting: There is actually voice acting, not much of it, but what little there was I did like it.
    • Tutorial: Tutorial was unobtrusive, which was a nice change of pace after Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.

    -The Bad-
    • UI: The UI is painful at best, they tried to set up a sort of quick weapon switch menu, but it just doesn’t feel natural to use. The main UI is pretty much standard, nothing amazing but nothing super bad either.
    • Weapons: Weapons break way to easy, it only makes the issues with the UI more noticeable because you have to keep opening it to assign your next weapon or shield.
    • Climbing: At first I thought this was pretty sweet, you can climb almost everything, but quickly the slow climbing speed got very annoying. You can jump to speed it up but it takes huge chunks out of your stamina and once that runs out you fall back down.
    • Swimming: Swimming suffers from the same issue climbing does, it’s too slow and you drown when you are out of stamina, luckily you don’t have to do it all that much.
    • Horse Riding: There is just something wrong with the controls here, it’s like half the time the horse doesn’t want to turn the way you want it to go.
    • Hyrule: Hyrule is massive with lots of area to explore; however, there simply isn’t much in it. It seems very empty. And in the end it ends up making the story events too spread out which quick starts making it boring.
    • Music: What music? Half the time it’s just silence filled with the clanking of your equipment.
    • Story: There is a little time bit of story, but it’s very tiny.
    • Shrines: Oh please no… No more, the first 3 shrines were okay, I totally expected real dungeons to show up after that figuring it was just the tutorial, but alas that isn’t the case. There are just more shrines, all of which share the same interior design of the other shrines.
    • History and Lore: Well, unless you count the machines that came out of nowhere there really is none.
    • Performance: I had many instances where the game stuttered or ran super slow on my Wii U, beings I paid the same amount as the Switch version I’d expect it to run just as well, it did not.

    In the end I didn’t really feel like this was a Zelda game, it felt more like they slapped Skyrim and Assassins Creed together and went for a very minimal story and worse climbing mechanics. The things the game did well are all done better by other games, and the things it did wrong it did horribly wrong.

    From an until recently lifelong Nintendo fan:

    This is a Zelda game but it has got its flaws. They should be mentioned and the eternal Nintendo nostalgia should be put aside because it has metaphorically become a source of sickness.

    From an until recently lifelong Nintendo fan:

    This is a Zelda game but it has got its flaws. They should be mentioned and the eternal Nintendo nostalgia should be put aside because it has metaphorically become a source of sickness.

    [Frame drop part of my review applies to Wii U, cannot talk about the Nintendo Switch with certainty]

    Continuing with the gameplay, the one-shot game overs and the constant breaking of the weapons is another source of frustration. It even goes beyond frustration and generates anger in the player. Travelling long distances for exploring and suddenly getting one-shot is not nice. This is a first open world for Zelda and the flaws are more than visible. The balance in the open-world playing experience is not there.

    Moving on to cinematics and voice-acting. Once again the experience lacks completeness. There is voice acting in some scenes but once the cinematic is over it goes back to the text boxes. Compared to a game like AC where there is voice acting even during gameplay e.g. when following an ally, Nintendo is lagging far behind in this sector.

    Lastly, there is a robotic style of developing a game from the side of Nintendo. What models have we got in our inventory? this and that ok how to combine them together? ok then now use them. First make the models, then robotically dress it up with some reused storyline. Does it fit? Who cares? After creating a story timeline in Hyrule Historia probably for selling a few copies of a book, now it is scrapped just like that. The story is meshed up again.

    And my final thoughts: It does not mean that a pioneer in the pixel-era of gaming should continue getting praise even for underperforming open-world modern games, just because they pioneered back in the 80s. If a game like Far Cry gets 8 points on average, when it is much more advanced in gameplay balance and cinematics and overall feeling, then Breath of the Wild is half that and can only get a 4 from my side.

    Great visuals don’t make up for the fact that the game is riddled with problems. The weapon degradation system is a joke, the vast empty areas on the world map, not one memorable NPC, tiny dungeons and no real point to the whole adventure.

    Then the weapon durability mechanic ruins it all. I dont like to say it but the 0 of my score reflects the 0 actual fun that I had playing this game, it was a complete waste of time and money.

    All the other great steps forward and features of this game are completely wasted by the fact that everything you pick up will break practically as soon as you use it. Pick up a cool new lightning sword? Well you better not actually use it because it will just immediately fall apart. Pick up a neato frost spear? Well you dont actually have room for it in your inventory along with the lightning sword and all the trash weapons you have to rely on for 90% of the game. Want to have enough inventory space to actually hang on to the neat stuff that someone on the design team worked hard on? Well to do that you have to indulge Nintendo in their insane obsession with collecting things and go find 450 magical fairy poos. You cant even buy or sell weapons, and what this system has devolved to is forums of people sharing locations and tricks to farm the weapons they want because the game mechanic is so asinine. Its awful, so many people worked so hard and did such a good job on this game, but actually playing it is just tiresome because to actually play with the resources you want you have to look up information online which totally destroys the magic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este jogo é um completo atentado ao estilo de mundo aberto... Primeiro jogo a ser lançado para o NX (Switch), uma consola que para mim parecia promissora, mas que com este jogo tornou-se uma desilusão. Agora sobre o jogo: Este jogo, classificado como "Mundo-Aberto" nada tem de Mundo-Aberto. Passo a explicar... Um jogo de mundo-aberto não é só exploração... Tem de ter missões alternativas, o que não existe neste "jogo de Mundo Aberto".... Segundo, isto foi uma tentativa falhada da companhia nipónica Nintendo de tentar criar um "Skyrim para crianças".... Onde já se viu isto... Jogo de Mundo-Aberto normalmente é sempre classificado com 16+ ou 18+ tal como Batman Arkham City ou mesmo o famosíssimo Grand Theft Auto V. E tem uma razão óbvia, poder-se fazer tudo.... Se querem fazer um jogo para crianças não façam de mundo aberto, porque mundo aberto pressupõe poder fazer praticamente tudo, tal como matar pessoal inocente e roubar, o que não é adequado para crianças. Mais uma vez, não tentem recriar jogos para Jovens-Adultos ou Adultos para crianças. Agora o enredo..... Desilusão total, acho que ainda é pior que tentar imitar o Skyrim... No início do jogo apenas é pedido para matar um Boss, de qual já não recordo o nome, e pronto... Jogabilidade terrível, as armas partem-se logo sem razão aparente, até a "Master Blade" se parte.... Jogo não adaptado para o tipo de controladores da Switch..... Mais nada, nenhum enredo. Assim, pelo conteúdo fraco do jogo, pela jogabilidade que não referi anteriormente, mas que é horrível, e pela tentativa falha de recriar jogos Adultos para crianças dou nota 0 em 10 a este jogo. Por amor de deus Nintendo, não façam mais jogos como este, ou vai acontecer à Switch o mesmo que ocoreu com a Wii U. Expand

    In this instance, the series has lost some identity in trying something new...
    I really hoped for the spirit of Ocarina of time to be fully present here but its not the case at all.
    Instead you have an attempt at streamlining the franchise into more comin games, Physics system, weapon breaking system. And a non linear story in a open world which does look amazing.
    Its did not feel like an adventure, more like a shore.. having to consistently look for weapons, replacing weapons..etc
    I missed having that reward feel when i would get my first unbreakable sword or when upgrading that sword to the master sword (not that you cant get it in this game).
    The physics system is great but only when you have the right tools, which could take you a while to get if you wanted them, again not being a linear story as much means you can miss those items intirely and not have the full experience.
    The world of Breath of the wild is for you to take however you want which is not super bad but not super good if you are stilll in those original Zelda state of mind.
    If you welcome a different take on the zelda series then this is for you.
    It is a beautiful world with great puzzles to solve which i cant fault even if most are short, its graphics are plain gorgeous and looks great on the go.
    Tech wise i cant fault it as i encountered not game breaking bug, only ocasional frame rate rate drop and the odd texture pop in.
    If your a Zelda fan dont go in expeting your usual zelda adventure but something else, for some it will be a refreshing take on the series and be welcome, for the very few it may be not
    It is a Zelda game but only half at heart.

    This game is literally just a giant sandbox with 0 purpose. You can face the final boss immediately, there is no leveling system, no equipment you get to keep, there is literally 0 reason to kill or do anything in this game. Everything feels completely pointless other than just so you can mess around and kill time. The weapon breaking system where everything breaks after 3 hits has got to be the dumbest **** I’ve ever seen put into a game. Who ever came up with this idea should be shot. There is no leveling system to help you get stronger other than finding shrines for hearts which is more work that it’s worth (which is a theme in this game) so every enemy literally one shots you (again meaning there is 0 reason to even fight anything)

    It’s really pretty dumbfounding how bad and flawed this game is. None of these devs should have jobs in the video game industry for approving this dumpster fire. The only idiots who like this game are Zelda fan boys, and Minecraft nerds who just want to frolick around a a sandbox with no real guiding purpose.

    In order to make the game get more difficult, the developers give the enemies abilities and health levels you cannot reach. This is only due to a severe lack of development ability. If you have to make a creature with more health to increase difficulty rather than have it simply be better or more challenging, you have failed as a developer.

    Overall, I feel like the critics could have done a better job pointing out criticism, but instead glossed over most of its obvious flaws. This could lead to some misconceptions for those wanting to play this game for the first time, but want to know a few things about it ahead of time.

    A vacuous world with more minigames, collectibles and desperate attempts at charm than substance or fun. Plus, one of the absolute worst horse-riding mechanics I've experienced in a game yet. Even better when it's shoved into a finicky minigame.

    The breakable weapon system is really annoying, it's unacceptable, totally unrealistic. I just wanted to stop playing this game because of this "bug".

    After ending the game I have to say, the history is really bad too, Nintendo is living from the past.

    TLDR;
    An open world desperately in search of an actual game...
    I want to like BotW. I initially purchased it on the Wii U, completed it and have recently bought it again on the Switch to see if my initial opinions have it have changed. Sadly they have not. Firstly: The open world they have built is gorgeous and it's a lot of fun to explore, riding your horse and climbing over

    I want to like BotW. I initially purchased it on the Wii U, completed it and have recently bought it again on the Switch to see if my initial opinions have it have changed. Sadly they have not.

    Firstly: The open world they have built is gorgeous and it's a lot of fun to explore, riding your horse and climbing over everything in sight and then gliding down from a great height offers a kind of considered freedom very few other games can deliver.

    Outside of that however the game itself is just so disappointing. Gone are the deep, themed dungeons/temples that Zelda players can pick their way through and unlock a new tool to add to their arsenal each time. These are replaced by bland micro-dungeons scattered across the world which vary in difficulty from stupidly easy to painfully frustrating.

    In fact "frustrating" is pretty much the word that sums up a lot of this game. The combat feels clunky, the timings of basic things like blocking, parrying and dodging are never effectively communicated to the player and ultimately you end up relying on chugging dozens of pre-made potions and cooked meals in order to survive a lot of fights, rather than your own wits.

    Another example: There is inclement weather, which is cool. What is not cool is the fact that when it rains surfaces become slippy and you can't climb them. So often this will leave you stranded in an area that's taken significant time to reach and you're unable to climb the 5 remaining metres while you wait for the rain to subside. There's just no need for it, in what way is that "fun"?

    Another: The weapon durability system is well documented, and you do get used to it but everything just feels impermanent, even the weapons you go through whole quest lines to get only last a few battles...

    Another: Every time you upgrade a piece of equipment, expand your inventory, unlock a tower or a shrine... they game will play the same cutscene every... single... time, and some of these can't even be skipped. It is painfully repetitive.

    I could go on...

    I can't praise the world-building enough but ultimately it takes more than a world to make a game and much more than this to make a classic entry into a series that already has so many heavy hitters.

    Simply put, nowhere near as great as previous games in the series.

    This game would be fantastic IF it didn't have limited stamina or weapon and shield fragility; both of these are nothing more than unnecessary hindrances and limitations that ruin various aspects of gameplay.

    Simply put, nowhere near as great as previous games in the series.

    This game would be fantastic IF it didn't have limited stamina or weapon and shield fragility; both of these are nothing more than unnecessary hindrances and limitations that ruin various aspects of gameplay.

    If your stamina gauge runs out, you're forced to wait for it to refill, which is a waste of time and not fun at all. It's especially bad when climbing, since running out means falling off and likely dying. If you manage to reach a foothold to recharge your stamina, you're stuck on that foothold until the gauge refills. The same applies to rain, by the way.

    As for weapon and shield fragility, this hindrance renders combat a net negative, since you'll almost always come out with broken gear and acquiring worse equipment than what was used. In previous games, the random Bokoblin was nothing more than a second's distraction to try to get a few more Rupees or a heart, since there was no downside to slaying them on your way to a collectible or story progression. In Breath of the Wild, random enemies are to be avoided since they'll just result in broken equipment with absolutely nothing worthwhile to show for it.
    Furthermore, weapon and shield fragility inherently lowers the value of high-quality loot, since it'll break all the same. Literally everything is breakable and worthless because of this stupid mechanic.

    Other open-world games have done well without these hindrances - Skyrim, for example, lacks weapon/shield fragility, while Assassin's Creed lacks both. Middle-earth also lacks either hindrance. These games know that artificially limiting the player is an inherent negative. Furthermore, there's been much more compelling Legend of Zelda games too - Twilight Princess has fantastic characters, a wonderful plot, unforgettably-good dungeons, and flawless gameplay across all three releases. The Wind Waker has better combat, a more interesting Link, an actual narrative, and better dungeons. Link's Awakening has a more compelling world and characters, interesting dungeons and fun gameplay.

    As someone who's new to the franchise it didn't really appeal to me at all. Don't know what all the hype is about. The worlds are often quite monotonous, quests feel uninspired and it's kind of hard to get into the story when you weren't interested in it before getting the game.

    I enjoy the exploration aspect as it reminds of Death Stranding funnily enough.
    I came to the party late in getting around to the is title and I had high hopes for it given it’s many many praises. Whilst it definitely has its charm, other games of this genre are crucified for similar tropes.
    I’ve platinumed the first two dark souls games and Bloodbourne and I find this combat far more gruelling and cheap at times.
    I may increase my score as I finish off a few more quests but sadly I just couldn’t get into this game as much as I wanted to.

    Speaking of combat, I have yet to see a more bizarre control layout -- but you can't customize anything except the jump button. Link is slow and unresponsive. Collision boxes are wildly different than the visuals, especially with circular attacks.

    Overall game pacing is slow and tedious. Traveling across the open world isn't inspiring or interesting, it's a matter of constantly scavenging for the next weapon after your gear breaks. You can scrounge for cooking materials, but places to use them are relatively few and far between.

    Basically, if you want a game that's the exact opposite of Skyrim or Dark Souls, this is your best bet.

    A HUGE WORLD VOID OF MEANING

    I am a long time Zelda fan. I have played every Zelda title except some of the handheld games. I also enjoy the concept of open world. So, based on that, Breath of the Wild should could be a success, right? Well, it isn't. In fact, it's a massive failure of a game and I'm going to tell you why.

    BOTW has many flaws, but one of the most basic is the complete lack of narrative or story. This isn't a bad story; THERE IS NO STORY HERE. One key element of every Zelda since A link to the past has been a captivating, fairytale-like story. But BOTW has no story. A background and setting is presented, but that is all. You run across this vast landscape to complete four major tasks that are completely isolated from one another. In every good story there is a progression; the story BUILDS until it climaxes, and may take many turns on its way there. But BOTW has no storyline progression. It doesn't matter what you do, or when you do it. You might as well run to the final boss straight from the beginning if you're skilled enough. The side quests are also short, simple and meaningless. They are not layered or complex in any way and don't make me feel anything or care about any of the characters. For comparison one can look at Majoras Mask where there is so much optional content, but every side-story and optional quest is intruiging and provokes many emotions. With BOTW I simply feel nothing. There is no main story, there are no memorable characters and the side quests are pointless. And no; making an open world game is not an excuse for not having a narrative. There are many games that could accomplish both. Why they didn't even try with BOTW is a mystery.

    Another component is the lack of dungeons and levels. The level design (if there is one) is just bad. You just run around this random topography and climb a mountain, glide down, go through a forest, swim around etc. Even though the world is huge no matter where you go every place feels as meaningless as where you came from. There is no place on the map that has character. It's just a giant field of random terrain. Compare this to something like Ocarina of time that has such a small, yet rich world, where every place you visit has its own magic and meaning. The boss fights are also boring and poorly designed.

    With these huge flaws in place it feels almost like a bad joke how much time they have obiously spent on details such as cooking, weather and elemental effects. These things are not bad in themselves but to me they are of such minor importance. I simply do not care about running around and collecting flowers if I'm not driven by a captivating story and feel that the game is fun to play. BOTW is never fun to play it's just annoying running across these huge areas searching for shrines or loot.

    Another disturbing thing is that the game is basically devoid of music. Strong music is such a core part of any good Zelda game but this game has almost no music. And when there is music it is so quiet that it falls silently into the background.

    So what is this game then, to sum it up? It is a crappy survival simulator. There is no story, no meaningful characters, no dungeons, no fun item collection. The game has no progression. I don't feel like I'm moving forward. I'm just running around and collecting **** that grows everywhere until I'm finally strong enough to face the final boss. That's not a good Zelda game to me. It's not even a good game. After playing for a few hours my son said to me "let's play majoras mask instead". And we did, and it's such an amazing game. We did recently finish BOTW. Not because it was fun, but because we wanted to play it through before judgint it. And I am sad to say the first impression was right. This is the worst Zelda game ever and a bad game by any rating.

    Learn from this Nintendo and bring Zelda in the right direction with your next game. Open world gameplay can be implemented into Zelda, but not at the sacrifice of everything that made traditional Zelda good. Find a way to fix it or you're going to lose the players.

This game is my least favorite zelda game by far. This game could have been so much more. It feels like they made a game, and just slapped "zelda" on it, without including what made LoZ great. Dungeons: There aren't any. The divine beasts just feel like shrines that are in a machine instead of an underground stone structure. The shrines/beasts themselves are very linear, but too small to make up for it. A lot of previous LoZ dungeons were linear, but you would get a cool item and have secrets to find. the shrines and korok seeds are the "rewards." There is no sense of accomplishment. Many people dislike the durability, but I actually find that to be one of the good things about the game. However, where are the tools and various items you aquire? Instead they give you a few tools within the first 20 minutes. IMHO, if I can fight the final boss and win within the first 2 hours of playing a game, that is a waste of my money. There is no feeling that link is becoming a better hero throughout the game. The only LoZ that had a worse story was link's crossbow training (lol). The characters had no depth to them, and it felt like the towns were there just for you to look at while walking up to the town leader to progress. This game focused everything on looks, and somehow ended up with an empty world still, and looks don't equate to gaming experience (just play OoT. Very angular graphics, phenomenal gameplay.) A lot of people praise the combat, but this game's combat is trash compared to TP and WW. The combat could be a lot better however with one thing: BUTTON MAPPING. They changed controls for SS, but that was for the wii, makes sense to be different. They then switched their controllers to have the same button placement as before, and then switched the controls. Why can't i swing my weapon with B? They said, let's make a LoZ game that's like an elder scrolls game, but we'll make the controls different than either of those. The controls are so unintuitive, it ruins the game. after beating the game to 100% twice (all shrines and all seeds, which is a waste of time), I still find myself pressing the wrong buttons constantly. I'm also very used to FromSoftware games as well, so It isn't a muscle memory thing. The button that feels like it should do something, it does something completely different. This could have been completely avoided if we could change the controls (you can switch jump to B and run to X,, but I don't want run to be x or b, or for jump to be x or b, so). It's a zelda game. Attack is B, period. with how many times I want to run and then jump, why can't the buttons be next to each other? The bosses suck. reskins of the same MF. And then, somehow fighting the final boss at full health right after leaving the plateau is easier than the other 4 you fight. If you say tools, bosses and dungeons aren't the reason you play Zelda, then you're an idiot and should play different games that are made for running around with no goal. They threw out everything that made me love zelda. I will check as much gameplay as possible before buying another zelda game (the reviews are clearly not reliable) because if the new zelda games are going to be more like this than previous titles, then I will have to say goodbye to playing zelda.

Die Idee schreibe auf der ganzen mal zu suchen um mehr Herzen zu erlangen und die Ausdauer zu erweitern ist zwar eine gute Idee aber dieses Spiel hat es damit zu weit getrieben. 120 schreine gibt es insgesamt im normalen Spiel ohne DLC's. Außerdem wurden 900 Krogs versteckt. Sie alle zu suchen wird auf Dauer sehr langweilig da die Rätsel immer wieder das gleiche sind. Und auch die belonungen die du bekommst wenn du alles sammelst was es gibt sind eher dürftig. Für die 120 schreine erhältst du eine Rüstung die zu dem Zeitpunkt schon überhaupt nicht mehr gebracht wird da du ein viel bessere besitzt und für die 900 Krogs erhältst du wirklich einen goldenen kackhaufen der nichts kann. Das zu wissen macht die Suche nach allen Krogs noch unnötiger. Und all das passt insgesamt überhaupt nicht in ein zelda Spiel; von denen erwarte ich das ich Rätsel auf der Welt löse um herzteile oder neue items zu bekommen die mir im späteren Spielverlauf helfen. Die 1020 versteckten Dinge die dir nur am Anfang etwas bringen hätte man sich sparen können. Auch die Welt hätte nicht so groß sein müssen. Auf großen wiesen gibt es außer Gegnern auch nichts was das lange reisen sehr langweilig gestaltet. Auch noch zu erwähnen ist der Schwierigkeitsgrad. Wärend du das ganze Spiel über Probleme mit zu starken Gegnern und zu wenig Waffen oder Pfeilen hast, ist der endboss viel zu einfach. Phase 1 ist noch ganz ok aber das dämonenbiest Ganon ist ja wohl das lächerlichste überhaupt. Ca. 10 Pfeile mit dem lichbogeb reichen aus um ganon zu besiegen, seine Attacken sind sehr schwach und treffen die garnicht esseiden du stellst dich mit Absicht voll hinein. Das ist alles andere als episch. Jedes kleine Kind wird mit diesem Gegner fertig. Schade eigentlich das nintendo sich selbst so in den Boden stampft.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To begin with the game had a promising start and seemed fun but as you progress disappointing and repetitive basic combat system of block or move out the way which makes the combat very boring after a few hours. As you progress through the game you realise in such a huge and vast open world game the lack of variety of different enemy’s quickly become repetitive and predictable and overall disappointing. After about 7 hours and killing the same enemies over and over again you finally find a good weapon which is probably NEVER going to be used because of the fear after about 10 swings it’s going to shatter to pieces this is something that really upset the fact that weapons and made from glass and they cannot be repair in a world full of monsters how is it no one can repair a sword????? The Devine beats bosses are super easy and makes you wonder how did champions of massive Great War machines fall to such an easy fight??? The story is plain and predictable I don’t understand the hype behind It. A monster called gannon comes every so years a goddess always defeats him until now because she in capable of activating her powers but after the whole land has been destroyed and all the champions of the Devine beast have fallen you link before you are about to be killed the goddess Predictably gains her powers and fights gannon such a simple and boring story in my opinion. All in all the game is fun to explore and the visuals are very pleasing to the eye but the combat system, weapon life, enemy variety and story all seem very annoying and lack lustre Expand

    Um ótimo jogo! qualidade e art muito boa e com algumas inovações! mas pela falta de pelo menos uma legenda em português prejudica muito a imersão no jogo!

    Assolutamente noiosa la storia e il gioco per quanto molto carino da giocare non ha meccaniche così innovative soprattutto dopo che tutti lo hanno decantato come il top..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Эта игра порадовала меня на старте игры, предложив многие возможности, и я этому был рад, но потом я дошёл до сюжета игры. И был очень разочарован.

    Первое что хочется отметить это квесты. Сама сюжетная линия просто отстой, состоит из пяти квестов протяжённостью 30-50 часов. Растягивали это квесты разработчики как могли, а именно принеси-подай квесты, сказать, что это самый скучный способ растянуть игру - ничего не сказать. Я даже боюсь вспоминать квест по восстановлению воспоминаний по фотографиям, т.е. приди на место которое указано на фото. Фото вроде бы двенадцать, но, побывав во всех местах, тебе дают тринадцатую, и на этом моменте у меня поехала крыша. Доп. квесты - тоже самое, принеси это, приготовь то, скажи этому. Я также упомяну, что за все эти квесты почти ничего не дают. Также игра была сделана криворукими геймдизайнерами, что я имею ввиду? А то что вещи и окружение с которыми можно взаимодействовать, не то чтобы не выделяются, но не дают понять, что их можно передвигать и тд. Что выливается в непонимание при прохождении первого чудовища, и если быть чуть слеповатым, то можно не увидеть возможность взаимодействия с ним через карту, кто понял - тот понял. Мир в этой игре действительно большой и одновременно пустой, точек интереса совсем мало, что также говорит о лени разработчиков.

    Плюсы в этой игре тоже есть, но их настолько мало, что минусы с головой их перекрывают, но я о них скажу. Первое что упоминают в такой ситуации это физика игры, какая она хорошая, почти симуляция. Ну и всё.

    Подводя свой итог, я хочу выразить непонимание тех игроков, что ставят 10/10, эта игра максимум заслуживает пятёрку, но не больше. Вспомните, что вы говорите, когда видите какую-то игру в которой есть такие же квесты? Как минимум чуть-чуть играете, пока не надоест и бросаете, а как максимум сразу же выключаете потому, что тратить время на такое поделие не решитесь. Так вот друзья делайте выводы сами, решайте сами, и не попадайтесь на уловки игрожуров и издательств.

    To say that it was released the same year as other open worlds which are much better in almost every way.

    BOTW doesn't really do anything unique, it doesn't look great at the 720p resolution and the world is really empty because it's unnecessarily big.

    but it's just not zelda anymore....
    and if someone says i should look at it detached from zelda, then i wouldn't have even played through it. but because of zelda i bit my way through it. but it just wasn't good.

    Yknow i've played this game back in 2017 and it really fricking sucks. I've given this game 10 chances to redeem itself over the years and I never got what the hype behind it was. i die constantly and the map is incredibly small, they hint that you can reach the castle but you die when you go off the platue?? also the shrines are inactive and I can't progress. worst game of the year

    Really overrated to be honest didn't deserve the GOTY
    2017 was actually a pretty mediocre year for gaming with just a few exceptions and Zelda just wasn't good enough for me and I'm honestly surprised from how much praise it gets and people just don't accept some of it's flaws

    Pour mes propos si dessus j'ai évidemment terminé le jeu a quasi 100% (je ne compte pas le remplissage omniprésent évidemment)

    PS: j'écris ça a la sortie de TOTK, qui a tout l'air d'être un DLC à 80 euros

    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.
