Combat is a lot of fun and presents many creative ways to defeat enemies. Starts out pretty hard with very little health and garbage weapons. that sounds negative, but I liked this a lot and definitely prefer the early game over the end game. Once you find some good weapons and armor, upgrade your health, and stockpile healing items, Link becomes pretty OP. This makes the combat a little tedious later on in the game. Not a perfect story, but I liked the acquiring of old memories and the piecing together of Link's old life. Dungeons were lackluster and boss fights were too easy. Side quests had a lot of charm and there are a lot of quirky loveable characters this time around. The sense of freedom and exploration is amazing. This is definitely a must-have for Switch/Wii U owners and a strong recommendation for any gamer.… Expand

    I'd give this a 7-8. This is a very well made game. The graphics, style, atmosphere, even the BGM are great. They create an immersive world that is a joy to be in. The world map is huge, and there seem to be many things to do in the game... except that there aren't many at all!

    That's my gripe about the game. The huge map, coupled with the lack of hand holding (you'll be spending a lot of time figuring what to do next), creates the illusion that there are many things to do. But what you'll be doing most is map exploration. That could be a very boring task, depending on who you are, given your extremely slow travelling speed. The beautifully crafted world makes it a little more interesting, but that can only go so far.
    Then there are the quests, that feel repetitive, because you aren't emotionally invested in the poorly driven storyline and weak characters. The plot is well written, but because so much of the game is 'exploration', the plot seems to fade away. Link, the main character, doesn't say a word throughout the game. It is seriously difficult to invest yourself into a character like that. Ganon, the main antagonist, appears rarely throughout the game, says nothing, and you know nothing of why it's even the antagonist. Poor character development, and these are the main characters we're talking about here.
    Then all we're left with is a beautiful game world. Sure, it's well made. But it could take you DAYS to fully discover it. I'll bet that you'll get sick of exploration before you even finish travelling the game world.    … Expand

    A perfect score still doesn't even do Zelda: BotW justice. BotW is magical, endearing, ground breaking, powerful, and simply a joy to play. Nintendo's ability to reinvent the LoZ franchise, while simultaneously improving the open world genre so substantially, crafts a masterpiece that stands alongside the best games of all time.

    A lot of people got really mad when they started playing Zelda BotW because they wanted a different game. they wanted skyrim or zelda OoT or some other game that you might think is like BotW but in reality it's a completely different game.
    and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
    I would say BotW is: skyrim with the flavor of zelda and the magic of Nintendo. so what does that mean?    A lot of people got really mad when they started playing Zelda BotW because they wanted a different game. they wanted skyrim or zelda OoT or some other game that you might think is like BotW but in reality it's a completely different game.
    and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    I would say BotW is: skyrim with the flavor of zelda and the magic of Nintendo.

    so what does that mean?

    Well I will first tell you what BotW IS NOT.

    It is not your regular linear zelda experience, there are no epic dungeons, no traditional items in said dungeons to hoard on your little pouch, no traditional epic boss battles, no companions (thank god), no empty hyrule field (but we do get some emptiness to ride through with our horses), and no story given to you at every single point. because this is NOT a typical zelda.

    it is not skyrim, BotW is NOT your typical RPG, there is no leveling up, voice acting are scarce and the graphics are not supposed to be hyper-realistic! nor fantastic... or even good. (although I really liked the art style).

    And no matter what you think, even if everybody says that: IT IS NOT A PERFECT GAME.

    now that we said that let me tell you what Zelda Breath of the WIld is: zelda flavored open world game with Nintendo Magic at it's core.

    it's a good open world game in the zelda universe (that makes it great) and was made by NINTENDO so you know it's at least good (but honestly if you'll play it with no expectations you'll see it's almost perfect).

    And I would like to end with a list of things you and everyone else should know about this game:
    1. I saw someone who said rain ruined the game because you can't climb, to that person I say: yeah because they want to encourage you to try walking in a road and not to take shortcuts all the time! and because it creates nice problems you'll need to solve.

    2. people who complained about dungeon size: first go watch this:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc38fcMFcV_ul4D6OChdWhsNsYY3NA5B2.
    now let me ask you this: what do you want from a dungeon? is it puzzles? cause you got shrines for that (and awesome puzzles in the dungeon), is it epic boss battles? HAVE you tried to defeat a lynel? or a hinox? or a huge rock monster? or the Molduga? or a guardian? because those are pretty epic battles, and do you remember how it is like to enter a divine beast for the first time?? EPIC. it is always EPIC. or maybe you're looking for items? well excuuuseee me princess that the tens of weapons and shields that you'll use in the game are not enough for you! but perhaps you're looking for the atmosphere? well then here's a tip: just walk around hyrule and it's different regions, from desert and mountains, to sea and rivers there is much to explore and experience that atmosphere really shouldn't be your concern.

    3. people who say that weapons shouldn't break, but than you'll never use any weapon but the one with the highest number, meaning you wouldn't experience even a quarter of the many weapons they worked so hard to make! meaning that if the weapons were unbreakable you would probably get only 3 different weapons to choose from... and where's the fun in that?

    4. peopla who say this game has a higher number then it deserves: shut up, if people decide this game is 10/10 and you decide it's 7/10 you should give a rating of 7/10 not 0/10 just so the overall points will go down to seven... because the whole point of the overall points is to show what the everyone thinks about the game, not just you.

    5. people who say Nintendo pays critics to give BotW 10/10, first of all it's not funny stop saying that, second of all I do admit critics has this habit of giving zelda games a really high score.
    and at some point one would ask him/herself how is this possible? but shouting false claims just because you're upset the general public disagree with your opinion is not ok.
    in fact I think it's sad you don't think your opinion is enough, and you have to lie and say other people agree with you in hope someone will agree with you.

    in the end Zelda Breath Of The WIld got a lot of over-reactions, both positive and negative. but overall it's one of the best open world games I have ever played (probably the best).
    and from now on I think I can safely say that it's my favourite game. :)    … Expand

Breath of the Wild takes the series back to it's NES root. This is a welcome change in a gaming era where almost everything is linear.

    The Gameplay
    In the beginning of the game you get every ability to use in the open word that is Hyrule. And after the beginning hour of the game you can explore everything. When I got to this point I followed the story marker but when I played through the game the second time I decided to jump of the south era and I had a almost completely diffrent experience then the first time.The only thing that I have trouble is the clumsy inventory that you have to drop weapons or shields before you can pick it up because your inventory is to small. There is an option to expand it but it is still annoying. That is just a small portion of the freedom that this game has to offer it is simply amazing and very fun to play.
    9/10

    Style
    The graphics are not of PS4 or XBONE levels but the details of the world make up for it. For example if you shoot an arrow in to the sky, and follow the path of the arrow you can pick it up again. Or when it rains you can climb slower or even fall of! The soundtrack is also a bit disappointing and missing the classic Zelda tunes you expect from other Zelda games.
    9/10

    In conclusion Breath of the Wild is a spectacular, game that gives you freedom like no other game before it. But the small problems keep it back from "The greatest game of all time"
    So I give it a 9/10.    … Expand

The dungeons were great, boss battles even better, and the temples got the same itch of the dungeons in a smaller size.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The is honestly my favorite game as of now. This game alone was enough for me to return to console (and Nintendo no less) and am overall incredibly impressed. The story-now that I have observed every detail of said narrative-is incredibly dark and fascinating and delivered the narrative in a rather nuanced manner. For example, (potential spoiler btw) finishing Kass' quests unlocks a hidden conversation in which Kass reveals that Zelda loves Link and tells Link that he knows who he is. Given that most NPC's do not recognize who you really are, the impact of Kass recognizing you is compounded in terms of effect. Subtle details about the way the story is told like the one mentioned is what makes it rather intriguing. If I had any real criticism about this game, however, it would be that the final stage of Ganon could have been made a bigger challenge (although, it does make sense that Ganon is the way he is from a story perspective). Despite that, the sheer scale and freedom offered by the game more than makes up for it. I have beaten the game twice and now eagerly await the DLC.

    sidenote: all the fanboys that left critical reviews for this game without even playing the game are...embarrassingly thickheaded (let's keep things civil ;) ). As for those who tried to retaliate by attacking other games on Sony's end...don't drop to the level of the idiots leaving illegitimate reviews here.    … Expand

I personally didn't mind it since you get so many new weapons anyway, but i suppose it would have been nice if you had a replace weapon smart-button. People say the world is empty, well to those people i can only say that you must have bought the wrong game because this world is far from empty, there are endless things to do and collect, and the best part is even walking through the landscapes and just killing some bokoblin is a lot of fun.

Tiene una jugabilidad realmente buena que te obliga a adaptarse continuamente a cada situación (al igual que Dark Souls) y es un sistema inmenso en cuanto a posibilidades hasta que empiezas a ver los límites, y sí, con esto me refiero a la repetitividad de los combates ya que a pesar de lo amplio que parece el sistema el juego no te dá ningún incentivo para no hacer lo mismo en la totalidad de los combates, otro de los grandes problemas es que hay muchos enemigos con muchas animaciones propias pero no están bien aprovechados ya que la inmensa mayoría (por no decir todos) pueden ser derrotados de la misma forma y a diferencia de otros juegos en los que cada enemigo tiene sus mecánicas para ser derrotados aquí la barra de vida es lo único que crea una diferencia real entre (por ejemplo) un bokoblin rojo y uno azul.

    Aquí es donde comienzo la segunda parte del análisis donde voy a pasar explicar los problemas que he tenido con la historia. Está claro que este juego intenta contar una historia de gran calidad sobre una mujer que siente que es inferior al resto y a la que le acompaña un caballero que posee todas las cualidades que ella a querido tener durante la totalidad de su vida pero el problema es que la historia es contada a través de recuerdos, los cuales ocurrieron hace cien años por lo que en todo momento sientes que te gustaría estar realmente en ese instante pero no puedes por cómo limita la trama el hecho de que todo lo que ves ahí ya a ocurrido. Esto es algo que hacen otros juegos como Dark Souls pero ahí sientes en todo momento que todo se ha perdido y que realmente no hay vuelta a atrás al contrario que en Zelda en el cual hay aldeas en los que la gente no tiene problemas para seguir una vida normal y sientes que hay esperanza y que es un viaje en el que vas acompañado eso hace que pierdas el miedo a que es posible que nada se solucione.

    Finalmente quiero decir que este nuevo Zelda es un gran juego y me parece una gran decisión que hayan intentado cambiar la fórmula para no quedarse estancados desde luego lo recomiendo mucho debido a su buena historia (mal contada) a su amplio sistema de combate (el cual se podría haber explotado más) y a su gran libertad (la cual es una locura que nunca antes se había visto en ningún otro videojuego). Se nota mucho que nintendo se ha esforzado para hacer este juego, ahora solo queda ver cómo será el futuro el cuál tiene pinta de ser muy prometedor y de que por fin, la industria va a evolucionar.

    Gráficos: 9’1. Tal vez no sean los mas rompedores que hemos visto pero son preciosos y hacen que el mundo sea un lugar que te incite a explorarlo

    Jugabilidad: 9’7. Posee gran variedad de ideas y conceptos los cuales tienen pinta de que van a trascender en esta saga

    Sonido: 9. Iba a ponerlo a parir en este análisis ya que echas en falta las melodías de otros juegos hasta que me puse a jugarlo con melodías antiguas y me dí cuenta de la belleza que tiene la melodía de este juego

    Contenido: 10. 120 santuarios con su desafío propio, 900 Kologs escondidos en todo el mundo, 76 misiones secundarias de una inmensa calidad…

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is generally fantastic. A different direction than other Zelda games, and one that was welcome with the new capabilities of the switch. I don't need to ramble on about the positives, others have done that, and there are many.

    Originally, I'd have given this game a 9/10 because I believed the combat to be far too easy, and simple at that. Going around gathering food is a great way to make sure that you can never die against bosses, most of which were too similar. That, and the ending seemed super abrupt, with not quite enough to satisfy you after sinking that many hours into the game.

    That being said, there is a story-based DLC to drop this holiday, so I'll reserve judgement on that front until that comes out. Also, I'm still in the middle of Master Mode, and it seems that the difficulty of enemies in this mode is finally up to a challenging level, which makes upgrading armor and simply getting around about as hard as it should be.    … Expand

I have played through the game with all Shrines and quests to do and even collected about 700 Korok seeds. It really doesnt feel like a Zelda game at all, but that doesnt take away from the fun. The game convinces not through its amazing but admittedly short story, but through its amazingly open world. If you do not like exploration and finding your own fun in games, then this is definitely not for you. There is infinitely much to do and everything can be done in different ways. It does suffer from some problems though. The fact that weapons break, and very easily too, seems to exist just to exist, but for no other particular reason.

    The general controls and combat are a bit hard to pick up at first ( jump on x? ugh.. ), but pretty good later on. There are lots of different ways to approach encounters, so combat gets boring rather slowly.

    As expected of Nintendo the music is amazing and fits perfecty when it has to (Miphas Theme, Guardian Theme)

    I played the game on the Switch and never ever had to deal with any problems like crahses framedrops or other bugs, but i know that they exist. Ive played about equally much in handheld mode and docked with my Pro controller, though i think i actually like the handheld mode more. 720p in handheld mode and 900p on TV with 30fps on both seems pretty bad for 2017 and it might bother a lot of people, but i think the it still looks beatiful and smooth in-game.

    In conclusion, It's an amazing open-world game with some flaws that might vary from big to nonexistant from person to person.

    Would reccomend anyone with a switch or a Wii U to go pick it up, but dont buy the console just for the game if you dont have them. You could just save your money or buy a pizza instead.    … Expand

    Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is honestly the most beautiful video game I've ever played. The visuals are so unique and pleasing.

The visuals are so unique and pleasing. Sometimes while I'm wandering random locations I find the right place at the right time and come across the most beautiful views, it's hard to believe that their not even real. Playing botw is so surreal and entertaining, you feel so involved and interested in the game, and you never run out of stuff to do when there's seemingly endless tasks and missions to complete. The premise is so cool and the characters are great too. I also love the exploring and travelling aspect of the game. All the villages are so unique and cool with their own aesthetics and resources that you may need. Finding all the special horses and exploring the map is also very fun even though it's probably considered an optional aspect of the game. Overall I really really love this game and would recommend to anybody of any age or interests. There is definetly a reason it has a score of 97 from critics. Breath of the Wild is the closest you'll likely get to a perfect video game.… Expand

    A great game, with open-world designs, full voice acting, and better shaded models that remind me of The Wind Waker. I really loved Patricia Summersett's voicing of Zelda, instead of just Japanese grunts. Making food to heal Link is really fun as well. However, it's too difficult.

    Simply put, the Ocarina of Time of the new generation. Probably the best entry of the saga. Inmersion at it's best in a charming open world, great story, amazing gameplay mechanics and -as usual- beautiful OST.

    This is the most perfect game I’ve ever played, and worth buying the Nintendo Switch for this alone. One can easily sink 150+ hours in to completing the main game and expansion packs, and still be yearning for more when the game comes to an end. Caution, you may find yourself playing this until the sun comes up more than once!

I was totally wrong about that. it is a little bit simpler, but thats not a demerit , it's just the way it is.
    oh, btw, imo, BotW gives you the oportunity to fight one of the most epic final boss ever in your hand, wherever, even tho i recomend setting it down on the rack to play in a big ass 4k tv
    I'm so very impressed, really
    ps: I ALMOST gave this a 9 because of some really minor disconforts such as link not grabing the next weapon or shield in the inventory whenever one breaks wich can make you die in a most frustrating way, but come on, these things cant take the bright shine off of the game

    First things first, I had never played a Zelda game before. These impressions are those of a newcomer, not a diehard Zelda fan. Breath of the Wild won so many awards and is often referred to as one of the best games of the last decade and it is easy to be disappointed when the expectations are so high. Fortunately, BotW lived up to the hype.

    BotW offers a magical open-world experience.    First things first, I had never played a Zelda game before. These impressions are those of a newcomer, not a diehard Zelda fan. Breath of the Wild won so many awards and is often referred to as one of the best games of the last decade and it is easy to be disappointed when the expectations are so high. Fortunately, BotW lived up to the hype.

    BotW offers a magical open-world experience. Visually, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Controls are tight and satisfying. The most impressive thing about BotW, however, is how much this vast world is full of surprises. It is truly open-world, just walk in any direction and something will distract you. And chances are that distraction will lead you to a hidden surprise. On your journey, Link can interact with the environment in all sorts of crazy ways. Such interaction is not necessary to progress, but nevertheless an interesting touch that encourages creative thinking.

    In BotW, you can explore shrines and strengthen your character. You can gather plants and hunt animals, cook them which will grant you the same or even better (yet temporary) benefits than shrines do. There are plenty of puzzles both in shrines and dungeons (divine beasts) in the main storyline. In terms of puzzles, I enjoyed the former, but the divine beasts not so much. You can complete quests and get the rewards. BotW has weapon durability and I think it was a wise decision to implement this game mechanic to make sure the game doesn’t get repetitive fast (unlike many other open-world games).

    There will be a feeling of diminishing returns in BotW sometime after 50-60 hours of gameplay. You may start to feel like you’ve had enough of Zelda, despite all the efforts of BotW to offer unique experiences to different playstyles. My suggestion on that would be to enjoy the open world when you start the game and focus on the main quest as soon as you start feeling overwhelmed by all the quests and shrines. Do not aim for 100% completion.

    The only reason I don’t give it a 10 out of 10 is that Breath of the Wild does not speak to me on a personal level as much as some other “perfect games” do. However, it is still a perfect game, both technically and gameplaywise.

However, a large number of shrines feel samey, some of them are painfully simple, and some of them are solved in the exact same way as other shrines. Moreover, there are no real dungeons, the rain mechanic gets in the way of climbing (which is otherwise excellent), and forces you to just stop and wait for it to pass, the world starts to feel extremely empty once you have cleared all the towers and gotten around 60 shrines in, the story is bad, and the stealth missions are worse (thankfully they are few and far between). Ultimately, you have a great game, but one with a lot of problems.

    The outdoor world is also incredible amazing and it feels like wherever you go you can find some minipuzzle or some secret wich can benefit you on your journey.

    For the first hours of the game i really didnt like the weapon-breaking system but the further you got in the game the more you learnd how to handle yourself in battle and you also get longer lasting weapons the longer you get into the game ( you can also unlock the master sword later wich does not break but have a cooldown instead)

    It feels like the most people who are downrating this game havent even got past the first zone (always complaining about the weapon-system) or people who played a zelda game for the very first time who doesnt understand or like the puzzle system in the shrines/temple..

The world is really its own character. The controls and the gameplay mechanics are easy to understand, responsive and excellent. Despite its performance issues at launch, the game runs smoothly now. I love the realistic physics, the overall difficulty and challenge, the massive amount of side-quests and shrines to explore, the sound design (I love playing it with headphones in portable mode), the GORGEOUS art style and beautiful score. Yeah, the main quest has a pretty cliché story, Nintendo rarely tells stories that aren't cliché. Yeah, while it's the first Zelda with actual voice acting, it is pretty mediocre and it's full of cliché and cheesy lines, but that's not what we play the game for, that's not what makes or breaks the game, what does is literally everything else but the story...And my God this game is so addicting and fun to play. Every time I play this game, I truly feel like I'm in Hyrule. I LOVE it.… Expand

    I loved it.
    One of my very favorite games of all time and by far the best game to this day you can buy for your switch.
    It's one of those games where you realise while playing, what you were missing in other games. Lot's of attention to details, a world freely to discover in whatever order you like and most importantly: the adventure of discovering is the main focus. No story where    I loved it.

    This game is not perfect but as near to perfect as it gets. The huge seamless open world feels more real and alive than in any other game that came before, the gameplay is just perfect and the soundtrack is subtle and fits the atmosphere perfectly.

The visuals are outstanding, the sounds of nature are welcoming, the story is exciting, the game play is nothing less of thrilling. The reason that it is easier is because of its open world nature, it's possible to go to the final boss right after you leave the tutorial. I recommend buying a Nintendo Switch just to play this game, and buy some other games while you have it, but nothing beats this, one of the best video games of all time.… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece! The fact that it was the first Switch game to be release blows my mind, this game rubs shoulders with some of the best AAA games to ever exist! This game was my first Zelda game ever played and I'm so surprised that I've never played a Zelda game in my life and now will make sure to play the next big Zelda game that release .

    Arguably the best game of all time. Whenever you do something, it usually works as you would expect. The world feels alive. From the amazing physics engine, to the overwhelming amount of content, this is a game you can't miss. During my 270+ hours spent in the world of Hyrule, I was always invested in the world and never bored.

    With amazing visuals and graphics and a huge open world to explore this game is one of the very best if not the best game I have ever played. There are so many things to do and to find and it never seems to take an end and still makes so much fun. I have spend hundreds of hours playing it. It´s just amazing and great and in every way perfect to the very detail.

    Easily one of the greatest games of all time. Breath of the Wild sets a new standard for open world games. This title is a must play for Zelda fans and non Zelda fans alike.
    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece.

    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]
