Mar 6, 2017This game checks all the right boxes for me. It's easy to just explore and find things. This game takes adventuring to a whole new level and you can move at your own pace.
-
Mar 6, 2017For those who just dont get it, its not because the game lacks in any way. its because salty people lack imagination. The game deserves a 10 and future games will incorporate a lot of BotW's innovations. Just know the game is good. anyone who says otherwise just got offended by its greatness.
-
Mar 3, 2017This game surely deserves every 10 that critics or fans have given. You have a massive game but not empty. You have lots of things to do, explore and to experiment. Nintendo has created a groundbreaking game that shows only one thing, they know how to do games and they can deliver great experiences for the players. I am glad to be a Zelda fan.

Mar 3, 2017Greatest Open world game to date and it's also Zelda. What more is there to possible say? It's everything you love about open world games but more polished and with a coat of Zelda paint
Enough said. -
Mar 3, 201710/10 in order to counteract one of the troll 0/10 user reviews that are flooding in. They just think Nintendo paid everyone to give their game a 10/10, for which they have zero evidence, and even if it were true, implies that they are the only ones who do it. Guess what also isn't even close to a 10/10? Any of the GTA games. Whatever.
-
Mar 3, 2017So far, an absolutely stunning game that, oddly enough, feels completely new and yet completely Zelda. Nintendo has outdone itself. Zero scores should be disregarded, the only way a game should warrant a zero is if it is non-functional...so those are the result of silly trolls.
-
Mar 3, 2017Such a beautiful game, totally worth it the wait! I've never had the experience of a open game like this since Skyrim!!
PS: Don't worry about these annoying haters who are negativing the game just because it's Zelda... -
Mar 3, 2017Best game of the decade, the open world is vast and breathtaking (pun intended). Was afraid it would not live up to the hype, but I think it managed to surpass it! Frankly I don't want to spend too much time on this review so I can get right back to playing the game! It's beyond addicting.
-
Mar 4, 2017I am charmed on every ways possible. This game is without flaws. And no, Nintendo did not buy me to say this! :-)
The way they drop you into this massive game, it just feels like "Here is the masterpiece we've been working hard for you to enjoy, now, enjoy." -
Mar 7, 2017Lo mejor: El juego es muy vasto, muchas zonas por explorar, todas llenas de vida y cosas por hacer. La ambientación insuperable, la música que acompaña y los efectos hacen que te metas en el juego. Iluminación y gráficos (no soy muy del cell shading) muy buenos.
Lo peor: El control cuando vas montado es muy mejorable; no sé si mejora con el mando pro. -

Mar 3, 2017Buen juego. excelente por los detalles y la libertad. Eso es gracias a que existieron programadores exclusivos para algunos apartados del juego. Y lo que sorprende es que los enemigos tiene personalidad, los aldeanos se pueden defender, y un largo etc. de detalles. genial.
-
Mar 3, 2017Cambia los paradigmas de anteriores entregas, demuestra la valentía de Nintendo al hacer un mundo abierto totalmente diferente a lo visto actualmente. Juego muy recomendado para todos aquellos que quieran ver un ejemplo de un juego excelente en la actualidad
-
Mar 3, 2017So many people thought Ocarina of Time couldn't be topped..
They thought wrong. Absolutely beautiful game in every possible way. Needless to say, I can't wait to sink the entirety of 2017 into this masterpiece. -

Apr 27, 2017A really good game, so much fun, and a HUGE world to explore, Zelda fans would love it.
The graphics are not so bad, it looks really pretty, it combines the openworld with a really good story.
A must have for all the wii u and switch users. -
Mar 7, 2017This honestly is my favorite zelda game so far. It has a gigantic overworld, easily the best story out of a zelda game ever. It's finally more than "boy saves girl" Controls are intuitive as well, nothing like skyward swords horrible flailing. Im a gear whore so this one hits every aspect of that for me too, huge amount of outfits, and an insane number of weapons.

Apr 27, 2018Was the best game I played last year. Love all of it, too much things to do and variety of situations. If you like open world games or just the Zelda franchise, then you should try Breath of the Wild

Mar 7, 2017This game is pure magic. It's full of emotion and warmth. The art style is gorgeous and timeless. The gameplay is fantastic. The possibilities are endless. This game redefines the meaning of an open world game. In the future we will be talking about the before and after "Breath of the Wild".

Mar 7, 2017Probably the best video game I've ever played in my entire life. The sense of adventure is as big as the world. Negative reviewers and trolls be butt-hurt.
-
Mar 7, 2017Only thing I can say is that it reminds me of the good old days of Morrowind
no markers.............
no hand holding........
just pure adventure........ -

Mar 5, 2017It's the best game i've never played. It's really gorgeous. I just get this game on my brand new Switch, it's such a pleasure. Everything is wonderful. Probably the biggest adventure in video game.

Mar 6, 2017The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an incredible journey and an exhilarating adventure in a rich world. A real must-have. I played a little more than five hours and I can not tear myself away! A truly unique game!
-

Mar 6, 2017Best game in the world! I played all the Zelda's console gaming (not the gameboy versions) and this is one of the best Zelda ever made! Probably it's not as good as Majora's Mask, but it's in the second place for me :D

Mar 6, 2017Esta es la historia de alguien que no ha jugado el juego, pero se esfuerza en combatir los trolls en Metacritic... Todo lo que he visto y leído me ha encantado, quiero jugarlo, pero mientras dejo 10 que equilibre un 0 y la nota real se vea menos afectada...
-
Mar 6, 2017Es uno de los juegos que mas estoy disfrutando en toda mi vida. Un mundo enorme con una gran cantidad de secretos y puzzles que invitan a la exploración. Recomendado 100% si te gustan los mundos abiertos y los juegos con puzzles.
One of the best games I played on my life. Great world with alot of secrets and funny puzzles .
100% recommendable if you love the open worlds and puzzle games. -
Mar 6, 2017This game has done what no other open world game has accomplished before. An amazing progression and execution. No bombardment of useless side quests, just a magical journey. One filled with excitement and wonder.
-
Mar 6, 2017Simplemente hermoso, prueba que la sustancia en los juegos no debe morir, tiene todo para ser uno de los grandes juegos de las ultimas generaciones. Muy bien jugado Nintendo
-
Mar 6, 2017One Word. EPIC! the game is a Master Piece, an Open World with such detail, it makes me remember Wind waker, i hope this game Win the GOTY 'cause it is Deserved, its pretty fun and the best part is, it takes a lot of time to ended.

Mar 6, 2017Game is amazing. Can't stop playing it. Have not had this kind of bewilderment with a game since I was a kid. Almost feels like what FF7 or OoT felt like that first time I picked them up. World feels amazing to explore, combat is fun and more difficult then past games.

Mar 6, 2017I haven't played the game, but since metacritic is doing absolutely nothing about the butthurt trolls rating this game 0 I'm going to give it a 10 to conter some toxic reviews. Kudos.
-
Mar 6, 2017This game beats out all other zelda games. The level of exploration is unprecedented. All of the mechanics flow together and the story beats out any other game.

Mar 7, 2017Best Zelda game since OoT. Being able to play that game mobile is simply amazing for me.
Of course Graphics are not on NextGen-Level, but the gameplay definately is... -
Mar 7, 2017Genius, this is genius. You must play it ! They totally reinvented what game play means, what video game means. Thank you so much for this experience, there will be an before and after this game.

Mar 7, 2017People who grew up with the first Legend of Zelda game on the NES can now relive the magic of adventure and discoveries in Breath of the Wild. Its is, by far, the next big step in the Zelda series.
-
Mar 7, 2017Haven't played a Zelda game since wind waker. Pleasant surprise. Played it on wii u but looking for a switch at the end of the year, worth every penny.
-
Mar 7, 2017This game is amazing. It is a ton of fun and is the best open world games I have played. I loved skyrim and this game gives me the same feeling but in a more interactive alive world also the best story and gameplay in any game I have ever played.
-
Mar 7, 2017Increíble juego, simplemente asombroso y fenomenal! Horas de contenido para jugar y jugar, espero comprarlo también para el WiiU, y el contenido descargable que nos espera para el resto del año.
-
Mar 7, 2017Pros:
- Amazing graphic design
- Huge world
- A lot of stuff to do
- Full amazing details in all the map

Con:

Mar 8, 2017El mejor de todos, llegando a superar incluso a The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, simplemente el juego perfecto. Lástima que hayan miembros que saboteen los votos de los usuarios colocando 1 entre 0
-
Mar 8, 2017I've never been a huge fan of the Zelda series, but this game snatched my wig, I could not believe it. Aside from a few unfortunate glitches that a small minority have experienced, this game is dusted for the gods.
-
Mar 8, 2017La perfección en un juego. Detalles técnicos como caída de frames son nada al lado de la majestuosidad de este titulazo. Detalle tras detalle en un videojuego de mundo abierto, y un diseño artístico único en un triple A que se haya visto. Una verdadera joya de la industria que esta por sobre cualquier otro juego.
-
Mar 9, 2017This game is just magical. Gives you the same feeling that Ocarina of Time does. Hyrule in this game really does feel alive, and really adds to the experience.

Mar 9, 2017El juego desde el primer minuto que lo juegos te atrapa, al ver el inmenso mapa te dan ganas de explorar todo, cambio mucho su modo de juego, pero lo hace de una manera genial, llevo horas jugando y no me ha aburrido en lo absoluto, la física del juego y mecánicas de puzzle son geniales

Mar 9, 2017Don't be fooled by the negative reviews. Haters gonna hate. This game destroyed my expectations. OoT is still my all time favorite game, but this is a close second for sure.

Nov 13, 2017This game is incredible. I am not a fan of open map games, but this one change my view about them. Visually, it is incredible.. and the storyline is even better. I did not expect it to be as good as Ocarina of time, but it was. 10/10

Apr 12, 2018My score is outdated but now that I finish the game , it became one of my favorites games in the zelda franchise , it has his flaws but overall is a really awesome game , it deserved the GotY completely
-
Apr 23, 2018De los mejores zeldas que e jugado, un mundo muy extenso y al igual que el 1er zelda empiezas por donde tu quieras ir y en el orden que tu quieras ir descubirendo todo lo que tiene, sin nada de juego lineal o aburrido, lo que lo hace muy entretenido
-

Mar 3, 2017Stunning game, really well polished BOTW knows exactly what it is and capitalizes on that. Rarely do you find a game so comfortable with itself. 10/10 would highly recommend for any switch user as an essential game to experience.
-
Mar 3, 2017Puede que el juego no te guste o no haya salido para tu consola favorita, pero de ahí a evaluarlo con un 0, hay que estar mal de la cabeza, es un juegazo de aquellos, candidato fijo a juego del año.

Mar 6, 2017It's a perfect open-world game. Tons of things to explore, hundreds of ways to survive the world, interesting enemies, and all tied up in a great story. I'm no where near done, but what's been played is absolutely enthralling.
Oh yeah, organic climbing. I cannot stress how refreshing it is to be able to climb nearly anything without having to worry about climbable anchor points. -

Mar 7, 2017Nintendo is back!
Pls believe me. This is why we loved nintendo years ago..
I did lost hope in the last years to be honest.
And of course I had big expectations, but this game even overcome it.
Sorry I cannot put to words how great this game is.
Just believe me that this is the modern Ocarina of Time + even more.
This really deserves a 11/10 -

Mar 4, 2017This game is a Zelda Masterpiece. It refines the conventions of Zelda to create the ultimate gaming experience with an incredible open-world that defeats those of Witcher 3, Skyrim and many more. By far, it is quite possibly the best Zelda game and a contender for the best game of all time.
-
Mar 5, 2017The game looks great, perfect graphics, perfect gameplay, good story, is one of the best in the series probably in the top 3, but not the best of the franchise
-
Mar 5, 2017No necesitas tantas palabras para describir a esta obra de arte, lo que me impresiona más es el odio que esta belleza genera en los "Fanboys" de Microsoft y Sony. Me imagino que cuando no puedes tener algo, no te queda más que criticarlo lo más que puedas para tratar de ocultar tus inseguridades. Este juego viene a ser el mejor de la saga, lejos.
-
Mar 5, 2017I bought the Nintendo Switch only because of this game. My expectations were normal, just bought because everyone was talking about. I am surprise on how good the game is. The story is amazing, the world is big and full of secrets and stunning! Masterpiece!!
-
Mar 5, 2017Great open world Zelda game!! Yes there are some flaws, but nothing that takes away from the overall experience of playing this amazing take on The Legend of Zelda series!! Honestly the mosr fun I have playing a game in quite a while.... Thanks Nintendo!!

Mar 6, 2017Stunning in every way, While everyone thought that this Zelda would just copy new games and lose its identity, it showed everyone else how its done. What an amazing time to be a gamer

Dec 12, 2017Where 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.
-
Aug 30, 2017Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece.

Games Master UKMay 19, 2017Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
