    All the chapters of The Legend of Zelda have stories and music worthy of Oscar awards, but this first open-world of its kind was truly revolutionary.

    This game has so much to it and you can tell a lot of work was put into it. The exploration is insane due to the massive world and detailed areas which are drastically different from each other. The combat is fairly simplistic yet fun due to the intriguing gameplay mechanics. I'm in love with the art style of the game, it's just fun to play and is very relaxing.

    That's not a typo, the sense of exploration, the rewarding nature of the game and how fun the systems are it's extremely hard not to recommend the game. Play it!

    you can do almost anything in this simple world. There are some flaws that are quite noticeable, but these flaws don't significantly hinder the enjoyment of this game.

    Honestly not a huge fan of the new direction with LoZ but I still thoroughly enjoyed the game. The cell shaded visuals are stunning and music is good. Story and the way it’s told is pretty weak. World was cool and it was fun to explore and discover stuff. I’m 50/50 on the shrines. A solid entry and a solid mix up to the formula.

    Jogo fantástico que reinventou a franquia. Considero que o Ocarina of Time continua a ser o melhor Zelda de todos mas este está logo atrás. Daria um 9.5 mas só dá para classificar dando números inteiros, então será um 10.

    Pra mim é o melhor Zelda já feito. Ele trás aspectos que serão utilizados não somente nos próximos games da serie, como na indústria de jogos em geral.

    This game is just perfection.
    I must say that somehow the experience was ruined for me, 130 hours had already passed and I had not done the second divine beast, I am a lot to explore and seeing that I was missing more than half of the game got me demotivated, so I left it to rest a bit, then I came back completing it with 300 hours. Amazing game despite that i made the game larger than it    This game is just perfection.

    Juego revolucionario para el momento. Sin embargo no considero que sea perfecto como muchos indican. El mundo en ocasiones se siente vacío. No rejugable

    Without a doubt the most fun I’ve had exploring an open world ever. The fact I could go anywhere was so refreshing however this results in a game with not much of a story and some progression issues which stops it being a 10. That open world though….

    The champions abilities are mid and there aren't really traditional zelda dungeons.
    The devine beasts are all realy the same other than the missions to get to them and the bosses are a bit different. Over all, the best game I ever played!    … Expand

    Excellent game regarding to exploration, the physics in this game are great, inmersive gameplay though it has some flaws they are very insignificant to the general gameplay as some shrines that are very simple, I hadn´t beaten a game of the series before and it says a lot about the quality of breath of the wild

    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

    Absolutely amazing game, one of the best I have ever played. The story, exploration, mechanics and most of the game is perfect. The reason I have not gave it a 9 or 10/10 however, is because the game can drag on and be somewhat repetitive during the mid section for players that like to take there time. Other than that, superb game.
