    Uno de los mejores juegos de mundo abierto que he jugado jamas, super recomendado, lo he jugado mas de 200 horas y no me he aburrido, siempre hay algo que hacer y no es aburrido, cada mision, prueba heroica, etc. Es muy entretenida de realizar, sin dudas lo recomiendo.

    Uma obra prima e possivelmente o maior divisor de águas quando se pensar em mundos abertos de agora em diante. Uma revolução feita pela mais revolucionária franquia dos games.

    This game is a masterpiece. A BREATH of fresh air for the franchise, it truly brings new life to your typical adventure game. What is loses in lackluster dungeons and bosses, it makes up for in sheer scale. There is so much to do and explore, I simply wish the dungeons and story were given more effort.

    Esse jogo criou um novo conceito em mundos abertos e possivelmente muito do que veremos e temos visto nesse gênero vai usá-lo ou o usa como base. Um divisor de águas apenas...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jogo simplesmente espetacular, pra mim uma experiência inesquecível, lembro claramente quando comprei um Nintendo switch, estava em dúvida se pegava Zelda BOTW, ou super Mario odissey, era minha primeira experiência nos, consoles da Nintendo, tinha jogado vagamente em um PS2 de um amigo, e um Xbox 360 do meu primo, pensei bastante sobre, meu amigo me recomendou Zelda, e sinceramente, não havia como escolher um jogo melhor, um mundo vasto, cheio de Quest's e segredos, e o melhor de tudo, ao passar o tutorial do jogo(great plateu) você tem um ponto, mas seguir ele é totalmente opcional, você não tem que seguir a história, você pode descobrir coisas por acaso, e simplesmente mais pra frente descobrir que estava antecipado e fez antes de te darem essa missão, é espetacular como esse jogo, faz com que você descubra o mapa, e não coloque um bilhão de pontos na tela indicando onde está as missões, você descobre o mapa, as missões, tudo, a história, apesar de não ser totalmente vivenciada, já que grande parte da história está no passado(a era da calamidade) você pode desbloquear as bestas divinas, esse é o tipo de jogo que você decide oque vai fazer, se você quiser simplesmente derrotar o Boss final, sem sequer ter desbloqueado as bestas divinas, você pode, se quiser ir em um lugar no início do jogo, você pode, a construção do mapa, incentiva o jogador a explorar, o excesso de montanhas desperta a curiosidade do jogador, simplesmente maravilhoso, foi minha primeira experiência com jogos mundo aberto, e sinceramente, não tinha como ser melhor, recomendo para qualquer um que queira um mundo enorme para explorar, e uma grande aventura que te tira horas de pura diversão!!!… Expand

    En 20 años se hablara de este juego como uno de los mas influyentes de la historia, si no el que mas.

    Para mi es sin dudas el mejor juego de la historia, por encima de TOTK. Por encima de juegos soberbios que marcaron epoca o tendencias como Resident Evil, Ocarina of time, Minecraft, Skyrim, GTA, Halo, FF, WoW (sin querer hacer enfadar a nadie, es mi punto de vista).

    Es simple, es PERFECTO.

    It's a good open world exploration game but in the end it's not a Zelda game which is its major issue, other than the combat is also a very weak point and the variety of the enemies and the plot. I won't comment on the horse riding experience as well as it is quite irritating and saying all these with more than 150 hours spent and a great Zelda fan which make me feel even worse.

    BOTW is a wonderful experience, everything from the exploration to the combat is expertly crafted to create the best open world experience I've ever had. The story and voice acting is lackluster but it is skipable and I usually switch the language to french because it just makes it funny, the divine beasts are a bit boring but this may just be because I've one them so many times.

Best Switch game, best console game, best game. I have not been able to find a single other game that could out-do this, other than its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, which takes everything that BotW has done and makes it better. The feeling of being overwhelmed mixed with the feeling of pure curiosity when you look out from the peak outside of the Shrine of Resurrection on the Great Plateau is just incredible. This game has so much for you to do, and half of it, you don't even need to do. You can just run to the final boss as soon as you've left the Great Plateau if you want to, as speedrunners have proved by beating this in only 20 minutes. Or, you can take the completely opposite route, and beat every dungeon, find every Korok seed, do every shrine, find every treasure chest, and beat every side quest. Even then, you probably still haven't done all there is to do. The equipment in this game as well, oh my God. There is just so much to find and use. Later in the game, you open up your inventory and you see all of these beautifully designed, incredibly detailed weapons and shields, the thing I miss about this game the most, really. 10/10, one of the best experiences I've ever had.… Expand

    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.
