    Un juego perfecto, Grandisimo, Con muchisimos detalles y mil horas de juego, es el mejor juego de la historia, todos los puntos negativos que tiene el juego de la gente, son de Sonyers amargados que solo entran a joder el rating del juego por amargados que son

    El Zelda Breath of the wild es la mostra del que és pot arribar a fer amb un joc de món obert, mai un món obert havia permès fer el que es pot fer en aquest joc, l'únic joc comparable seria el The witcher 3, que també té un món obert molt explorable i ampli, tot i que en jugabilitat el Zelda el supera amb escreix, el control de Link en totes les facetes es boníssim, en batalla tant siEl Zelda Breath of the wild es la mostra del que és pot arribar a fer amb un joc de món obert, mai un món obert havia permès fer el que es pot fer en aquest joc, l'únic joc comparable seria el The witcher 3, que també té un món obert molt explorable i ampli, tot i que en jugabilitat el Zelda el supera amb escreix, el control de Link en totes les facetes es boníssim, en batalla tant si tarjeteges els enemics, com sinó sempre tens una resposta correcta de moviments... a més a més té una infinitat de detalls que gratifiquen, l'experiència com el tema de les inclemències del temps, el fred veure la reacció de Link i les conseqüències que podem tenir, com pèrdua de la salut, etc.
    Tot i que el joc tens un objectiu clar i pot sobrepassar l'amplitud del mapa i pot donar la sensació de soletat, realment no es així pq han sabut crear un mapa, que tot i que no te molts npc's, si que té la suficient quantiat de objectius i coses per fer, que fa que t'atrapi... pq de cop i volta et pots trobar amb un campament de goblins, com de cop et pots trobar un santuari, com un enemic formidable, com una foguera per poder cuinar , etc.

    Realment hi ha pocs jocs que aconsegueixin això, gratificar l'exploració.. per a mi es el millor joc de la generació, una mica per sobre del the witcher 3... Això si tant l'un com l'altre son els millors jocs de la generació de carrer...

    Aquest Zelda s'ha de jugar de primera mà per valorar el què del joc....

    Recomenaries la compra del Zelda? Sí, absolutament

    Masterpiece. Potentially the best game in history, and best Wii U games with no doubts. The game world is perfect, you can interact with everything on screen, really, even the small birds and butterflies that pass by.
    It has some issue with framerate, but is an openworld, so I'm ok with that, since I didn't saw yet a game this big on console that doesn't suffer some framerate issues.

    This game is a true masterpiece that will inspire future games for years to come, just like Ocarina of Time. It's perfect on every single way, I don't even think this game has one single flaw. Truly the best work Nintendo has done to date, and possibly the best game of all time.

The critics are right .Ignore the zero reviews. People with nothing better in their lives than trolling. . The game and Switch are fantastic so far. Well done Nintendo.

    Either way, I love my Playstation as much as the next guy, but this is an exceptional game and certainly among the best ever made. Nintendo could have very well just crunched Zelda plus open world equals quality game. Instead, they created one of the biggest, most immersive open worlds ever made and expanded on the Zelda formula itself in too many ways to count.

    I was incredibly over-hyped for this game and (despite all odds) it has exceeded those lofty expectations. Thank you, Nintendo. You've brought another masterpiece to the world at large.

    There are two types of negative user reviews for this game; those who have not played it correctly, for example claiming there is nothing to do or that the world is empty shows either a lack of creativity or exploration.

This is a video game in the same way that the Godfather and Gone with the Wind were movies, or that Moby Dick and Don Quixote are books. Hyrule as presented in this game is the most complex, dense open world I have seen, and it "feels" alive in a way that no game has ever accomplished, which is difficult to convey in a review. To best enjoy this game I would recommend turning off the HUD, and not approaching it as a video game. Gamers for a long time have diluted ourselves into thinking we have used our creativity to solve game problems, when we were just using set pieces in a way that the designers had setup to create the illusion of creativity on our part. Nothing Breath of the Wild has done diminishes Witcher 3, which appears to be what the trolls are upset about, at all, on the contrary this title elevates the medium. As Zelda said, open your eyes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is hands down the greatest game not just in the series, but possibly this decade and is a contender for of all time. Those that are giving the game a 0 or 1 are just trolling or picked up a game expecting it to be something it wasn't. It was announced to be an open-world game, and that's exactly what it is. It perfects what an open world game is supposed to be, and it does it flawlessly.

    An open world game isn't supposed to have something to do every 5 meters, it's supposed to encourage exploration, finding treasure and secrets that may not be easy to reach or see. I haven't even finished the game yet, as I'm still working my way through the map alone, let alone the main storyline, and just the music, the immersion, and the fighting style is enjoyable. This game does live up to the media and fan hype, and is definitely the best launch title since Super Mario 64.

    While the dungeons (now called "trials") are definitely much shorter, it's still puzzling at times to complete a few, and yes, there's still a god-forsaken trial that deals with water. There's plenty of things to explore in the game, and plenty of side quests to keep the game fresh and enjoyable. Those that say they completed it in under a few hours, well... congrats on doing a speed run and running straight for Ganon, ignoring the storyline completely. It can definitely be played that way as like Nintendo said at E3, you can literally do that if you so desire, but it's not recommended and you won't get the full immersion of the game.

    As a game designer, this game is the bar that all developers should aim for when designing such large-scale/open-world games. The mechanics and difficulty are perfect for those who have played a Zelda game before. Nothing seems over-powered, and there's plenty of small amusements (those that love to find a way to interpret meanings to being more innuendo than it should be).

    They delayed this game for so long and pushed Switch's release up just to get this perfect, and Nintendo nailed it perfectly (the game, not the Switch). This game is worth that perfect score of 10 for its category.

    Positives: Great Open world- Con - 9.5 The world can be sparse and not enough variety of enemies
    *Game play - 9.5 Amazing puzzles and dungeons - Cons - Need more Dungeons- They only had 4 mechanical beasts dungeons (not enough)- Swords break a lot and require you to pick up silly weapons - sticks.
    *Music - 9.0 its great during the battle and open world but its not loud enough or variety.
    *Graphics- 9.0 -its definitely good, but frame rate issues and could be better in some areas - Wii U+.
    *Story - 7.0 - I think Link to the past is better game.

    Overall, I think its a great game and one of the best Zelda's ever created, but I think its missing a few important things - amazing story, more variety of enemies, More dungeons, and frame rate issues, music needs to be more dramatic. I think a perfect 10 on this Zelda game it is not. Its definitely a solid 9.0+.

    Let's get the negatives out of the way first because there's very little of them: The graphics and textures look a little sloppy and the framerate dips
    First of all do not be alarmed by the difference in critic score and user score. That is merely salty fanboys who don't have a life and probably weren't even born when the classics were around. That being said, this is one good game.

    Let's get the negatives out of the way first because there's very little of them: The graphics and textures look a little sloppy and the framerate dips (though not very often). That's all of the negatives.

    Now for the positives: The innovation in this game is quite astounding. I've played the Witcher 3, the Dark Souls series, Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto IV (but not V), and this game has definitely a new feeling to it. When I play the other open world games, it feels like I have great scenery, but I am always limited by something. It was a little disappointing at times to feel like I was limited. Perhaps I can get over to that mountain, but there's no reason to really do it, and often I actually can't climb that mountain. Perhaps it's too steep or there's an invisible wall. In the case of Zelda however, there is the feeling that not only can I reach that mountain, but I can interact with it too. I can approach things however I would like and not only does it work, but it rewards you for it. That gameplay mechanic in of itself gives an incredible feeling and sense of awe. I can climb (almost) any surface, but I must be prepared to do so. Just having the tools isn't enough; you have to have the brains as well. To be quite honest,

    I did not enjoy Skyrim or the Witcher 3 as much as people hyped them up to be, and perhaps that is my own fault with my expectations. However, even with my expectations hardened, I felt Zelda made me respect that world and respected me. This game will allow you to do almost anything you want; the whole environment is interactable in some way or form (and yes I literally mean EVERYTHING. See that tree, you can cut it. The grass you can burn it, etc.), but if you are not prepared for it, you will be knocked down. I will not spoil the game too much, but all I can say is that the gameplay is truly incredible.

    Now onto graphics. The graphics were the only part of the experience that was not out of this world. There were some bluriness, pop in, and frame rate issues (though the last one is rare). However, that being said this is a VERY good looking game. I often found myself marveling on how I felt like I was playing a Studio Ghibli film. Though the resolution may not be the best, the artstyle is incredible and truly beautiful (which matters more to me) and the slight hit in resolution and texture quality was not bothersome. The artstyle makes the world feel incredibly alive and is incredibly beautiful. Even in this category, Zelda Breath of the Wild seems to excel if you can forgive some minor downsides.

    Next is sound. Though there are not much music, I must say the amount there is, it only added to my immersion in the game. I was initially disappointed when I heard that there would be less focus on music in this Zelda. Every Zelda comes with a classic soundtrack and hearing that there would be less of that in this one was somewhat disheartening. However, I take that back now that I've played the game. I actually prefer it this way. The game is so immersive that any overworld music, that was not the delicate sounds of simple piano that sometimes plays in the background, would have been immersion-breaking. You are so invested in what you are trying to do that simple overworld music may break you out of the experience. The sounds themselves are very impressive. You realize when there is something amiss in the atmosphere, or when you hear a sound you recognize it for what it is. It is very well-synced to the world.

    For the last one, story. I am not going to spoil this game. It's not just a game, it's an experience and only my 5th 10/10 ever since I started gaming in 1996 (for reference the other four are Zelda OoT, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, and Chrono Trigger). So, just hear this; I found the story to be good and mature and only helped to increase my immersion and enjoyment of the game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is truly something special. It's a masterclass game, an instant classic, a game that we will be talking about many years down the line. The world that this game takes place in feels truly alive; it is a game that will continue living on as one of the greats and is truly a legend.

As for graphics, they are bad, but i never have cared for graphics so this doesnt affect me and the game is still beautiful because of its art style. Seriously if people looked at the game objetively the scores wouldnt be lower than 9/10, for me this game is perfect in every sense i highly recommended it. Expand

    The best game I play, feeling like the first time I played Ocarina of Time, my 1 year old son is impressed by the colors and does not come close to me when we are playing. My fiancée who has never liked video games is amazed because it's like playing a cartoon in real life. Game of everything a little but this Zelda really impressed me by the greatness and the mechanics. Congratulations

I always though 3D zeldas had a problem with AI, but this time it is really hard to fight versus group enemies because they are so smart now. Well done Nintendo. Sad to see some fanboys from sony/microsfot giving bad scores on purpose with lies just because they take the console battle way too serious.

Otro punto a resaltar es el estupendo trabajo de doblaje que se hizo, por lo menos en la version latina que es la que estoy jugando, es soberbio. lo unico que se le podria criticar es que en la version de Wii U se quitaron las funcionalidades del gamepad como el mapa en la segunda pantalla y la interaccion tactil, pero todo eso queda atras con el impecable trabajo que nos regala nuevamente una gran aventura que disfrutar, Expand

The only thing that I didn't like was the short durability of some weapons, but they're so easy to get that it isn't even important. Wolf Link is really recommended. Its graphics are perfect, its story is perfect (specially to Zelda fans or people that know a little bit about this saga) and it is really, really funny and relaxing. Fights are fun and I think that dungeons, even they're not as memorable as in Ocarina of Time ir Wind Waker, they're great and very well designed. Although very people say it, it isn't overrated at all. Don't believe those people who gives it a 0 or a 4, because most of them are Sony fanboys that envy this game...

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is the first true open world game in the series, and it sets a benchmark not only for upcoming Zelda games, but all open world games in general. The amount of wonder this version of Hyrule (the name of the land) brings is otustanding.
    I've been playing games for the last 24 years (Since i was 4), and this is the game i have always dreamed of.

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is the first true open world game in the series, and it sets a benchmark not only for upcoming Zelda games, but all open world games in general. The amount of wonder this version of Hyrule (the name of the land) brings is otustanding. There's never a dull moment while traversing the landscape, and the amount of sigths is incredible huge: from pretty vallleys filled with flowers and greens, to hellish volcanoes, perilous deserts and freezing mountains: it's all there, and everything blends perfectly.

    Gameplay wise, if you're a veteran 3D Zelda player, you'll have to unlearn everything you've learned over the last 2 decades, this entry mixes up things a little: no longer does Link auto-jump gaps, there's a dedicated button for that. Your weapons break, you have to change them at the middle of the battle or procuring new ones either in the battlefield, looting them from enemies or finding them on the wild. Is sorta like a mixture of Dark Souls and every other eastern action RPG.

    Storywise, Zelda has never been this epic in scale and dramatic yet heroic on execution, and the game last however long you want it to last: the story has good pacing, interesting characters and a very (very) satisfying ending.

    Graphics are incredible, though with some little problems here and there (bad anti-liasing and some frame rate drops, but nothing too serious, (no really, they happen veyr rarely), but the artistic style is pure bliss: the amount of color and life put into this open world is outstanding, and it makes every other open world out there (except maybe, Dragon Age Inquisition) look dull and boring in comparison.

    There's not a single thing i can complain about on this game that hinders the overall quality and awesomeness Nintendo has brought to this franchise. Nintendo has looked over every other open world game out there and surely thought for itself "i can do the same, but better". Experienced players will surely identify things that other games did before this (Assassin's Creed, The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls), but Breath of the Wilde took those elements and made something special out of it: like a recipe for perfection). At the end of the day, BoTW may not be the biggest open world out there, neither the most dense with side activities: but it is, beyond any doubt, the most fun open world game i've ever played.

    Breath of the Wild has become the best game i have ever played, and in a world where i also played the everlasting awesome games like Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, Dark Souls, God of War III, Bloodborne and The Elder Scrolls, that's one hell of an accomplishment.

The experience of navigating this world, the detailed eye for its rendering of nature, the way the tonal color palette and mood changes constantly with the dynamic weather system, amounts to what feels like a first-person Legend of Zelda anime movie directed by Miyazaki. It is done so well, and crafted so beautifully, that you will find yourself choosing to bypass the fast travel system and ride your horse on your forays - or even go on foot - simply to wander the endless expanse of Hyrule in search of its secrets. In that way it recalls Shadow of the Colossus, although it far exceeds that games level of detail, beauty, and variety of environments. BotW places its aesthetic experience in the foreground, of equal importance with any of the quests you'll undertake on your adventure.

After many hours spent playing Skyrim, I was worried that this would feel too similar or to childish compared to that but my worries were for nothing. It's huge...it's epic...there's non-stop stories. The only thing that it lacks is in the graphical front. While the scenery has a look of what should be beauty (and at times, does look nice), it lacks a bit - especially when a lot is happening. But, it's totally worth it and the gameplay is nice - even on a slightly weird controller. Expand

    El juego es inmenso , hacía tiempo que no disfrutaba tanto, es un mundo abierto no es lineal como otras aventuras y digan lo que digan los gráficos son super detallistas , paisajes ambiente etc Un 10 como una casa.

    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]
