    I am 31 years old and since Final Fantasy 7 I didn't feel anything like it, an incredible game. It's a shame that many haters put 0 or 1, trust in me, 17 hours played, this game marks a before and a later.

    One of the most beautiful games of the generation. An enormous open world and a trully lesson of how to reboot a classical saga. The game mixes the best of Zelda games with some of the best recent games like The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls.

    Es simple y a la vez complejo, desde que empiezas te da libertad absoluta para explorar y encontrar el camino a tu manera.
    Comparado con otros zeldas es la evolución que necesitaba la saga un 10/10 muy merecido.

But where Zelda stands apart from its competition is that the world not only is gigantic but also extremely interactive and inviting to exploration. The world has so unbelievable many different places that you wanna visit that you can just go visit. See an interesting place in the far, just find a tall place and glide over to it, find a horse and ride to it, climb a tall mountain and shield surf down at it, meanwhile you encounter different and interesting characters as well as varied and difficult enemies, which is also a plus.

    This game is not just a walk in the park, it's actually quite difficult as you learn that many enemies can kill you in one or two hits especially if you don't have any armor equipped. It becomes a sort of chess match where you have to constantly analyze your enemies. Does he have a shield that he can use to block me? yes! Then I need to dodge his attack first and get the upper hand and then attack, parry his attack with a well-timed shield blast, jump around and attack from behind, or hit him really hard with a big weapon. Meanwhile you also have to be focused on the other enemies that are nearby and so on and so forth. And different enemies have different kind of attacks and properties so new challenges in combat are constantly being introduced. `

    Then there are the shines, that are first introduced in the starting area " the great plateau". Here they give you cool abilities that you activate with your new item the "sheikah slate".Then after that shrines are mainly for given you spirit orbs which you can trade 4 of to get another heart or more stamina. Which I at first did nor really like that much because you don't get anymore cool new abilities. But then as I moved more out in the world I was rewarded with awesome loot from these shrines. And shrines are absolutely everywhere up, down, on land in the sea and so on. You usually use a lot of stamina to get to these places which segway's nicely over to the stamina portion of the game.

    The games new function is that you can jump and climb absolutely anything which is so amazing. there are nearly any obstacles in your way of exploration that you can't overcome partially do to the climbing. It does however require much stamina which is why large mountain climbing trips is hard for poor Link if you haven't upgraded the stamina, but again if you are smart enough you can still make it up the majority of the mountains if you just plane you ascent correctly, and scout out resting spots where you can stand and get your stamina back, which means that you are again for the majority only limited by your own skills. Certain areas do though require that you are well prepared with some being either too cold or hot for Link to travel as he is without certain equipment or (which is so damn cool) special elixirs that give him heat, cold or flame resistant.

    But how do you get these special elixirs you might ask, well, you make it. In the Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild you are also able to cook, which you can do to make food or elixirs which both can give you special effects as for example the resistant I mentioned before, attack boost, stealth boost defense boost, and many more. Cooking is also so fun because you find different ingredients in the wild like, animal meat, insects monster part and plants and then the description give you a general idea of what are use to make elixirs and what can be cooked into food, but you are never given specific details on what different mixes does what, so cooking is an adventure all on its own too as you try to mix all your new different ingredients in new and different ways you discover so many new recipes and it's always a joy to discover a new one that works well, trust me.

    With all this exploration and open world gameplay you would think something like story might get shoved a b it away which I would have had it fine with, but F*cking no, Nintendo just gives this gift that keeps on giving because the story in the legend of Zelda breath of the wild, is the best goddamn story there has ever been in any Zelda game, with the best goddamn stories there have ever been in any Zelda game, and probably also in most games in general.

    TL;DR and Conclusion
    The legend of Zelda is one the most highly acclaimed video games series there have ever existed, and every installment in the series is another amazing adventure that so absolutely few games can hold up to. The shame this time is that there now just is no games that can be held up to its standard as it without exaggerating ascends over every other game that id out there at the moment, which I know is a HUGE statement to make, but after only playing 32 hours and not even being close to finish the game yet is it one I can with outmost confidence and sincerity. It is a masterpiece in every possible way, and I urge everyone to grab a switch and get lost in its amazing world.    … Expand

The sheer physicality and material tangibility of the world opens up countless possibilities to the player, not limiting us in any way and most importantly, treating a player with respect, never really holding our hands and trying to explain to us what’s what. You need to find your own way, your own solutions and spark that exploration desire within you.

    Okay, now that the short brief of the review is out, time for some thicker explanations. I am not a Zelda franchise fan. The only other Zelda I played was Link to the Past more than 15 years. I am not therefore married to the game lore and characters and general style. At one hand, it means I am definitely not blinded by thick glasses of nostalgia, but at the other hand it means I cannot really talk about ‘series atmosphere’ or common grounds with the other games in this big franchise. As for the moment, I put about 50 hours in this game, conquered three divine beasts and got my Master Sword. Did some side quests, explored nearly every region to some degree and had a complete blast doing so! Here’s why.

    The game tells me that I am stupid. Or in search for a better word, just too comfortable. Simply put as gamers nowadays we are pretty used to being pampered by games, led by hand, have our games tells us exactly where we should go, what we should do in rich detail, so we don’t get frustrated, lost and impatient. Look at Witcher 3… It is an extremely fun open RPG, but when you pick a quest you don’t really need to figure things out on your own in most cases. You follow the breadcrumbs objectives on the map, or a rather obvious trail of blood or scent and ultimately, you are being led step by step to the quest conclusion. In Zelda quests, you often are given the bare minimum or not even that! Just ‘There is a bridge somewhere near the broken stone, and maybe there is something to it’. Or ‘There a legendary bandit somewhere in this region. Have fun finding him!’. And so on and so on. You are given a hint, a nudge, a little snippet on info, and what you will do about it is your very own decision. Frankly, even in the game tutorial phase the game tries to tell you that. Old Man tells you to find the shrines, give you a hint to use your scope and that’s that! There are no flashy objective indicators of any kind, you need to find the shrines yourself and mark the on your map with your own hands. And frankly, I love it…

    Because the game managed to tinge my exploration desire in a big way. Yes, there is plenty of nothing. There are vast empty spaces of grass or sand or snow, but they also have a purpose – they don’t just exist to create a grander scale in the map, but also fills me with quite an irksome urge to find something and manage to spark my interest whenever I see something even a little out of place! Now when on a horizon line I see a curious tree, a ruined building, a cavern or unusual stone formation I will most likely abandon my straight travel to explore such things… And more often than not I am rewarded with a fun little discovery! Perhaps it was just a Korok or a buried treasure with some little reward, but just finding it was rewarding enough for me! And sometimes I find something big and extraordinary and it feels me with a glorious triumph and fuel my desire to wander around and poke under every stone.

    The best example of that is my gradual change of attitude towards walking around. At first I ignored my surrounding. I went straight to combat, I didn’t give a notion to the tall grass or trees or rocks. Later I started to sneak, to look for alternate routes... And even later I was quite happy to make tree-bridges, catapult myself with Stasis and big boulders or create flying rafts with my octo-balloons!

    The wonder of exploring goes greatly in pair with internal game logic and physics of materials. Wood burns down. Metal conduit electricity. Water is wet. Rocks are hard. It sound silly, but it offers some ridiculous consistency! Need to activate an electric-triggered gate? Don’t look for a second battery, make a trail of metallic weapons from the first one to cheat the riddle… It is possible. Like so, so many other things. Cut down trees to roll heavy log down the hill to crush enemies, burn the grasses to get air updraft, lock time on nearly everything to mess with it… Possibilities are outstanding.

    Too add to that… Game is pretty to look at. Characters are fun. Locations differ a lot. Weapon system, where tedious, is superbly fun to manage from a mechanical perspective. Music is fantastic. Stories you uncover are really engaging in most cases. Crafting is superbly entertaining!

    This game for me is an open world game done right.    … Expand

It's that big, and that deep. Just about every user review made after 3 days passed since release has given it an 8, 9, or perfect 10.

    What I can say is that the ~40hours I've put in so far have blown me away. This game has created a new league of open-world games. A new freedom of play unmatched anywhere. You have total freedom, you can do anything, go anywhere, you can fight the final boss straight away if you're game enough (I tried and got whooped). The combat is deep and challenging. The puzzles are clever, and they make you feel even more clever. The possibilities of play in the physics engine are seemingly endless, with only the players own creativity to limit them.

    The story is incredibly touching, making me tear up on many occasions. It has a perfect mix of mystery and progress, without being overbearing on the player's freedom. The world is astonishingly beautiful, I say that without exaggeration. I feel like I spend half my time gawking at sunrises, sunsets, epic vistas, or even simply the reflection of the sun on rained-on grass as it gently sways in the breeze while cloud shadows snake across the landscape.

    There is always something mysterious in the distance compelling you to explore. It's a world evidently designed by perfectionists. But to get there, you need to think about how to survive in the wilderness. If a lightning-storm comes - hide from conductive metal. If it's too wet to climb a cliff - find shelter, build a fire, and wait for clear skies. Or else go hunting, foraging and cook meals or brew potions to prepare. Go catch a faster horse, name it and build your bond with it so it will better obey you. The gameplay feels infinitely deep, and all of it is fun.

    This is an open-world game, an open-sky game, a survival game, an exploration game, an adventure game, a role-playing game, a puzzle game, a fighting game, an artistic game, It excites you, challenges you, rewards you, makes you laugh, makes you cry, and makes you think. It's the best game I've ever played. It's the ultimate game and it absolutely deserves it's critical acclaim.    … Expand

I'd grown so cynical and tired of third-person action adventure games, which makes it all the more surprising that a game like BoTW could so unwittingly show up and consume my everyday life. This game is a MASTERFUL example of gameplay engagement and world-building, crafting an environment that's equally fun as it is immersive. It has so many incredibly creative and inspired moments, and so deftly delivers on the promise of an adventure of epic proportions, that in many ways it draws out all of the flaws and limitations that Ocarina of Time had when it first revolutionized the gaming world and the franchise way back in the 90's (though I still love OoT all the same). Breath of the Wild is a fantastic game, worthy of reverence and of every gamers bookshelf. HIGHLY recommended!

    Also, be wary of the negative user reviews this game is generating. For whatever reason, it seems there are a lot of vindictive anti-Nintendo trolls trying to besmirch the quality of this game. Please pay them no mind, as they've certainly not played the game at all (let alone own it) to realize just how high amazing a game it is.    … Expand

I have waited for this game ever since the e3 2014 when they showed its first trailer, and I haven't been disappointed!… Expand

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has is far reaching and attempts to accomplish a lot of what you'd would expect from an open world game and much more. Breath of the Wild succeeds in everything it attempts to do due to the fact that while the game is full of many unique mechanics and elements, nothing is convoluted or overbearing. Everything is thought out, refined and available to the player without being forced upon them. Nintendo's mantra of creativity, fun, and accessibility means that the game is easy to pick up and begin, a joy to just even 'waste time' in and is magical and ever surprising to explore.

    Retaining all the original charm that its predecessors were loved for, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild explores a new way to play that feels so natural for the series; one that gives more power to the player and puts adventure on every horizon.    … Expand

    When it was revealed that the new Zelda was going to be an open world years back from now, I was one of those who was concerned about how it would be done, especially considering this "change in conventions" that Aonuma had talked about. When I saw the Great Plateau footage back at E3 2016, while I loved the new features, I was concerned that the entirety of Hyrule was going to be empty,When it was revealed that the new Zelda was going to be an open world years back from now, I was one of those who was concerned about how it would be done, especially considering this "change in conventions" that Aonuma had talked about. When I saw the Great Plateau footage back at E3 2016, while I loved the new features, I was concerned that the entirety of Hyrule was going to be empty, with nothing to do, with no towns or NPCs, no side quests, nothing. Just a glorified No Man's Sky.

    How could I be even more wrong than that?

    This new version of Hyrule is FULL of mysteries. Whenever I think that I saw it all, I discover something new, interesting. Sometimes, it is more subtle, such as simply a new weapon, or sometimes, it is an entire town, other times, it is a character, other times it is a surprisingly interesting side quest, other times it is simply a beatiful location, and sometimes it is just an enemy interesting enough to take on!

    Unlike the other more modern Zelda games such as Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild DOES NOT hold your hand. Not at all. This means that many mechanics are discovered by YOURSELF, and I think that it is a major thing with this game: things are discovered BY YOURSELF. For instance, many quests do not have a marker (or the marker just points to whoever gave you the quest, or something like that), and all they give you, for example, is a riddle which you have to solve YOURSELF if you want to actually finish that quest. The game is pretty cryptic at times, which does remind of the original The Legend of Zelda at times, which is a good thing in my opinion!

    Many of the recent Zelda games were REALLY easy. By really easy, I mean "so easy you probably only got stuck once or twice in the entire game and NEVER saw the Game Over screen". Oh boy, that's not the case here. Like I said, the game is NOT going to hold your hand, and can be cryptic at times. Additionally, you will VERY OFTEN see the Game Over screen, since Link can die in many, MANY ways now, which includes challenging enemies killing you, falling off a cliff, getting hit by lighting during a storm (yes, that's possible), drowning, getting hit head-on by a goat which then throws you off on a large slope on which Link miserably slides on hard rocks and then stupidly dies, you name it, there is death everywhere. But yet, it is never frustrating, because even if you do die, the game will never force you to just retry and retry and retry whatever you were doing, you can just leave if you want, if you are frustrated. Plus, most of the time it feels FAIR, and even if you may not consider it is the case for some deaths, the respawn is quick, and there is no punishment for dying, so you very quickly come back to the action.

    I've seen many people say that "there is no story" in Breath of the Wild. Two ideas: either they did not play the game and are just hating the game because you know, hating on the popular game is their favourite activity, or simply they just haven't reached the first village yet (and honestly, if you did not, you haven't played enough to actually judge the game much). The way the story is handled is a bit special in Breath of the Wild, since the main story is actually completely optional, and non linear. However, IN MY OPINION, the story still remained very interesting. I believe that is because in this Zelda, Nintendo made sure that the world of Hyrule was FULL of lore, much more than what we have seen in any previous Zelda game. And thus, the main story becomes much more meaningful thanks to that lore. Honestly, Breath of the Wild is deeper than ANY other Zelda game in terms of lore outside of the main story, seriously. It added so much to the Zelda mythos that I'm curious how it will be developed in the next games! Hyrule is so full of details in its environment and lore that for the first time, Hyrule actually feels like a world which has a history, which has its own mythology, its own legends.

    In the end, I have very few problems with the games. The first one is the occasional frame rate drops. Luckily, Nintendo has done a patch on launch day which has improved them quite a lot, and now, even when they DO happen, which is rare, it is not that bad. I still hope though that they will do ANOTHER patch to remove them entirely. Secondly, while I really like the style of music used for this game, which is more subtle than other Zelda games, I do admit that in the end, apart from the main theme of the trailer, there aren't many musics which really stand out and stay in your head for days, which are heavily memorable, which many other themes in other games have done, such as the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time, or the Great Sea in Wind Waker. However, the music is still good, so it is not THAT bad, since again, I see why Nintendo went in that direction regarding the music, since it does fit well with the game thematically.

    So... Yeah. This is my favourite Zelda, now!    … Expand

    The framerate drops from time to time, nothing that I personally experienced a lot of, but it is present.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's very sad that obviously almost all people writing negative reviews never even played the game.
    This is going to be an honest review after playing the game for many hours. This should be a must for reviewers but some people simply do not understand this. This is not the place for trolls and haters. And by the way: How can a game like this be honestly rated 0/10? Think about it yourself and you will see that this does not make any sense at all.

    Pros:
    There are so many positive aspects to say about this game, that it is simply impossible to list them all. So I will just write down what comes in my mind to give you an idea of what the game is like.
    First of all the most obvious and perfectly integrated 'new' feature: total freedom. This is what describes the game best. You can go almost everywhere whenever you want. There are so many ways to travel the world.
    This all happens perfectly seamlessly and there are almost no loading screens when you travel the world. There are only few situations you have to wait for some seconds and loading times are (at least on the Switch) rediculously short. So the whole game feels like a long, seamless experience.
    That's how the game feels to play in gerneral, but what makes this special is that you can find interesting items, quests and characters all over the huge world. There is so much to find that I doubt there will be more than a few players who are going to find everything hidden in this world.
    There are so many secrets and little easter eggs you can find in the game (Ever took a photo/screenshot of a dog next to you?).
    Characters, animals and enemies behave convincingly.
    The story fits perfectly for a Zelda game and offers some unexpected twists and new information about the franchise.
    In most cases there are several ways to achieve something. If you think you found a solution, just try it - it will probably work!
    The voice acting in most cut scenes is pretty nice.
    You can play this awesome huge game on the go (only on Switch, of course).
    Controls are intuitive and work perfect in most situations.
    There would be so much more to say but I have to get to the cons now.

    Cons:
    As in every game there are some small cons too. No game can ever be 100% perfect. But these aspects are no dealbreaker at all.
    Some performance issues in docked mode (Switch). Perfectly smooth in mobile mode but suffers from some frame rate drops in several situations in docked mode. Hopefully this can be fixed in a future patch.
    Some design issues regarding the controls: If you find a new weapon and have no free slot in your weapon inventory, you have to open up the inventory in the pause menu and drop one weapon. Why is it not possible to drop weapons in the quick select menu?
    Uncomfortable Cooking: If you want to cook something, you have to open up the pause menu, navigate to the ingrediants, switch to 'hold in hand mode', select the ingrediants, exit the menu and finally cook the meal. Why is it not possible to simply stand next to a cooking pot and by the press of a button open up a menu to select the ingrediants for your meal.
    Durability of most of the weapons: Sure, the mechanic makes sense, since it forces you to find more and more weapons and use several fighting techniques because you will not always have a weapon for the battle style you prefer, but at the same time this reduces the joy of finding a new weapon because you know it will not last for long.

    Invalid cons taken from negative 'reviews':
    "No actual sprawling dungeons" - Yeah, but there were dungeons in previous Zelda games that you had to visit over and over again. 120 shrines, each with unique puzzles spread all over the game world vs. a hand full of dungeons you have to spend a lot of time in - pick one.
    "You are supposed to enter your own name" - No, link is actually the character's name. The feature giving a custom name does not make too much sense because the character (sex, visual appearence...) can not be changed.
    "They nerfed the Gamepad functionality" - Second screen does not make any sense in gaming. It only distracts from what happens on the main screen.
    "The game designers clearly had much contempt for the Zelda series" - I will not comment on this.
    "wow healthbar above npc" - We had this before and what is bad about it?
    "No animation while opening chest" - Do you remember opening chest in Wind Waker and wating several seconds for each to reveal its secret? How many times did you enjoy this?
    "Theres no second quest" - Simply not true. Play the game!
    "objects between the camera and the character are allways solid" - This is simply wrong.

    Of course there are some negative aspects by other users that I do not list here. Mostly because they are results of purely personal preference. And in general I want to say that every complaint about the game being open world is not worth the time reading it. The series has originally been open world and would have been all the time if possible.    … Expand

    The world is so extremely full with secrets and life that it feels like a real living place! The shrines are really diverse and it's fantastic that they are solvable in multiple ways. Way to go Nintendo! You showed us all why you are the best company at making games!

    Wow, this is a great game. I have never really liked the Zelda series, but this new addition is great. I just got to the first (insert thing here that might be spoiler) and I am super excited to fight it. The game is really good at transitioning from easy to hard, and nothing feels too challenging or too easy. Overall so far a great game.

    Everything about this game feels like old Zelda, yet it manages to keep things very fresh. You are in a kingdom that has been there for hundreds of years, it shows on the places you visit... I have been playing this series for years and its like the series has grown up with you.

    Yes it has some some minor technical problems, yes it may not be for everyone... but getting lost in this game its a joy that no other game has offered. It borrowed different elements from games like the witcher and skyrim, but with a zelda touch that makes things feel fresh.
    The game has no hand holding and everything is done in a grand scale, the bosses are some of the best in the series. You never feel like you are in control of the world and thats actually a good thing.

    After been disappointed with games like wind waker and twilight princess, we finally have a game that is actually better than ocarina of time, one that is definetly a bench mark for the series.    … Expand

First I’ll get out of the way that coming from a PC with 144hz monitor ultra settings for graphics and frame rate above 100fps the switch is a small step back from what I’m used to in my normal gaming life but that doesn't take away from what is most likely the game of the decade. This game is AMAZING.

    From the opening sequence you realize that something has happened to Hyrule and your tasked with finding out who you are and what's happened to the land around you. Breathtaking visuals, plenty of challenges spread across the land and scenery that is just jaw dropping. This game has it all.

    The difficulty is up there and makes me glad as I like a challenge and there is a lot to do if you want to 100% the game. The story is one of the best in any video game I've ever played and put together so well. You become a part of the story organically, you're not forced through it like other games.

So many reviews are saying Zelda has no story the gameplay sucks ect and to me those are all false statements and I believe a lot of the negative reviews are fakes and haters (my opinion). The game has a story you just have to search for parts of it to understand the deeper narrative which gives me a Dark Souls feel, the game is no where near easy nor holds your hand like so many games these days as I find myself freely exploring and getting one shot by enemies. The game is not without flaws occasionally I do have frame rate drops but that for me is maybe only once every few hours so not enough for me to lower my rating. Overall this a great installment for the Zelda franchise and with the Switch I would say Nintendo is back on the road to success.… Expand

    Admittedly I'm a Zelda fan, as I've played every major console game since before I could even read the old man's cryptic hints. This game just does an amazing job of recreating the original Zelda's spirit into a 3D living world. It has minor issues, but it is the most engulfing video game I have ever played.

    I picked up the Switch and Breath of the Wild during launch and I am currently still playing after 6 days, The game is fantastic, one of the best I've ever played. The console itself isn't my favorite but it is still a lot of fun.

    Breath of the Wild has a wide range of things to do that will keep you busy for probably way over 100 hours considering how long I've been playing. It's open world boasts a large play area for players to test mechanics in the game and learn things that can be helpful to them later on. Shrines dotted around the world give the players a goal to try and conquer each one, including the shrine quests which make them much more interesting trying to solve riddles that are given to you from NPCs scattered around in different towns and towers. The sheer amount of detail that Nintendo have packed into this little cartridge is mind blowing with the realistic mechanics that you need to use. Overall for the world it will keep you occupied for a while making it hard to get bored whether it be cooking, horse riding, shield surfing, exploring, collecting and the list goes on and on.

    The story line is good, not the best but it is good. I think they are saving the story for the DLC packages that are being released later on throughout the year, I'm not a huge fan of DLC but I'm interested in how Nintendo will deliver the new story line. The character development is nice as the game dives into the history of important characters in the game through very good story lines in quests which will all add up to the end game. Memories are also a great part of the game, as Link has no memory he must regain it by searching around the massive world learning new and old things which pieces the puzzle together after many, many hours of exploration and quests.

    Performance wise, the game is OK for the majority of the game although SOME areas challenge the Switch it doesn't ruin the overall experience although I can understand why some people are annoyed by it but it is very short bursts that occur rarely. The patch fixed most of these issues.

    Overall, Breath of the Wild boasts the true creativity that the team behind Nintendo hold, I have to say that Nintendo have many talented developers that are loyal workers considering the dark age they went through during the Wii U's lifetime they still have the ambition and motivation to deliver greatness. After 5 long years waiting for the game it was definitely worth every penny and yet still there are many side quests and shrine quests that I still need to do.

    This is in my top 5 games I've ever played, considering I've never played a Zelda game before this I was surprised as to how much I loved it and understood some references that they sneaked in making the world of Hyrule a wonderful place to delve into.

It rewards climbing and traversing the land like no other open world. Climb up a mountain, spot a shrine in the distant horizon, and paraglide your way. I definitely recommend this game.

    -Beautiful open world. Every part of this game is within the sandbox (with the exception being the shrines). Your ability to climb and swim is limited by stamina. But there is no limit to the freedom -Enemies are finally tough again. Ever since Zelda switched to 3d, the level of difficulty completely vanished.

    -Enemies are finally tough again. Ever since Zelda switched to 3d, the level of difficulty completely vanished. Just look at how hard the first two Zeldas were in comparison. It really seems like they geared this game to an older demographic.

    -The ability to shoot your arrow on horseback is so well done. Horses will follow the path you gallop on. This is extremely useful when fighting other enemies on horseback and the guardians.

    -Shrines are very unique. The reviews claiming their copy and paste and complete lies. Literally every shine is different. Some are combat oriented. Some rely on just one of your runes. There is nothing "copy and paste" about them

    -Weapon variety. I love that weapons break. It gives a whole new strategy to the game. You've got to choose weaker weapons for weaker enemies and save the good stuff for the real fights. Don't know why so many people hate this mechanic. It's brilliant.

    -In game physics. There is a lot of detail in the game. You can tie your bomb to an octorock and blow the bomb into the enemy using a Deku leaf. This game almost feels like Just Cause at times. And in a good way.

    As a fan of Zelda (I've played almost every one of them since GBC) I have to say that this is far the biggest and most beautiful Zelda game ever made with a totally fresh new concept, but still with the same repetitive storyline and, again, a princess that needs to be "rescued" or well more or less, since she is also fighting the enemy in some way.

    Apart from that and also considering that I don't like the fact that weapons break, and break a lot (at the point that I could not continue at some part in the game) and also considering that I waste a lot of time climbing and walking... after all that I consider this game a masterpiece of art and beauty everywhere, which compensates all those negative parts. The music and general FX ambience is also nice and it isn't repetitive because it's very subtle.

    Definitely Nintendo should consider in the future to bring a new storyline like they did with Majora, Minish Cap, etc. the central story and the multiple universes are becoming very repetitive, and definitely they should also continue with this open world concept, but please make weapons more durable or at least being able to repair all of them.

    An immersive game for wanderlust gamers. Though I love the game I cannot give it a perfect 10. The weapons are too fragile overall, understandable that a twig would break after a few hits but not so much with a claymore. Beyond the weapons being fragile, the story (without wishing to spoil) can feel just a little underwhelming. Otherwise the combat is passable and the characters can be endearing.

    Zelda Breath Of The Wild was a game I was very hyped for and thought it would be by far game of the year but after completely finishing the game and putting over 70 hours into the game I can say that i'm no more than genuinely Disappointed with this game. Is it a bad game? NO. that's just not true. Is it one of the best games ever made? No. That's nothing more than an over exaggeration.Zelda Breath Of The Wild was a game I was very hyped for and thought it would be by far game of the year but after completely finishing the game and putting over 70 hours into the game I can say that i'm no more than genuinely Disappointed with this game. Is it a bad game? NO. that's just not true. Is it one of the best games ever made? No. That's nothing more than an over exaggeration. This Zelda game is very different from most as some people can clearly tell but just because it's different doesn't mean it can completely gimp out on things that made this game's predecessors great, and this game not so great. The temples and bosses in this game feel watered down and are nothing more than slight variations from each other making the boss fights in the Divine beast extremely repetitive and just well, boring after you fight the final two and realize it's the same fight over and over again. The temples in this game are the same as well which is just a slap in the face for being a Zelda game. "Oh, but the game is different than others so it has an excuse for having watered down puzzles." That's not how a game works my friend just because you have a big open world doesn't mean you can water down THE BEST PART OF ZELDA the dungeons. In Ocarina Of Time when you became an adult and Ganondorf took over Hyrule there were still unique puzzles and bosses and a lot more of them for that matter. It's clear that when making this game the main focus was the open world so let's talk about the open world. For the most part I think the open world is brilliant and awesome there is a diversity of races and culture which reminds me a lot of Majora's mask and the overall open world of this game gives you a whole hell of a lot of time to explore and overall I found exploring to be one of the best parts about of this game. The combat is awesome face paced a variety of enemies and weapons to fight with making every fight different and heart pounding but the ONE thing that **** everything up was the weapon durability system. Oh god, the weapon durability in this game it's dreadful and one of the worst things about this game. There is nothing more frustrating and unfair. Let's say you get a really cool weapon only to have it taken away after killing five enemies. It's like the game punishing you for having fun with the new toy that you just got for Christmas it's stupid. Should the player be constantly punished for using the weapons that they like to use in a video game? Sorry, I just don agree with that. One thingiI've heard a lot of people say is that the weapon durability is a way for you to use different weapons and learn how to use them all and to that I say if the game needs to force you to use different weapons on enemies you're just a closed-minded person who doesn't want to change their playstyle, but why should the game force you to do this at all its an open world game after all. Okay now to the juicy stuff the story but like a juicy steak that has been left out in the sun for 5 years you can say it's dry as **** The story is extremely forgettable, bland and overall seems like somewhat of an unfinished piece. In fact, this whole game feels like that it just seems unfinished and yet people are giving this game 10/10 nonstop which I just don't understand. My overall experience with this game was positive within my first 20 hours but after finishing the game and doing all there is to do the story aspect just seems unsatisfying. The ending isn't satisfying at all AND YES I DID GET THE (true ending) and that statement is no less true than saying skyward swords motion controls aren't annoying. Zelda seems like a cool character I want to interact with but you only see her in cutscenes making the game extremely unsatisfying and just *sigh* pointless. Still waiting on a good end to a Zelda game Nintendo Still waiting. Okay I know I've been extremely negative in this review so let's focus on some stuff that I like okay :). The cooking in this game is deep, cool, and overall a welcome replacement to just finding hearts on the ground or drinking a potion. The enemies all have different and unique attack patterns which were extremely enjoyable when fighting them. and Once again the exploration in this game is by far some of the best in any open world game. Hopefully, the DLC for this game can save it from its poor story and hav e a different dungeon that is actually cool and unique so yeah hopefully there will be that. Score 7.5/10… Expand

    Superb game overall. Any minor flaws are trampled by the engaging story and polished overall gameplay. I was initially turned off by the fact that the green tunic of prior Zelda games was not a staple this time around, but was immediately met with a huge amount of customization that made the game feel fresh. This game is like Krabby Patties: "if you don't like it, you've never tried it."

    I am a lifelong gamer, started once I was 4 in 1984. So I have been around and have childhood memories of the Zelda franchise. I liked the original but wasn’t a super fan. More of a Mario kid. Haha I enjoyed Zelda 2 as a kid, and Zelda 3 was the one to really pull me in. Playing through A link to the past is one of my favorite gaming memories. Then the n64 versions and others all came out,I am a lifelong gamer, started once I was 4 in 1984. So I have been around and have childhood memories of the Zelda franchise. I liked the original but wasn’t a super fan. More of a Mario kid. Haha I enjoyed Zelda 2 as a kid, and Zelda 3 was the one to really pull me in. Playing through A link to the past is one of my favorite gaming memories. Then the n64 versions and others all came out, and I just did not resonate at all. However. I do love completely immersive video gaming. That is what I am ultimately going for with every purchase. Hoping a game could make me forget about time and space and just get sucked into an experience with a sense of awe and wonder. I loved the late MMO Asherons Call for that reason. But have found games of that magical magnitude are few and far between.

    I also own a ps4, xbox one, and switch. So I am not a ‘fan boy’. I have been a huge advocate of gaming since forever and enjoy many forms of creative expression, even if it doesn’t give me the same ‘immersed in a world of awe’ feeling.

    Enough of the credentials – let’s talk about Zelda.

    From the moment I turned on this game, the rest of the world disappeared. I was so fully immersed in this beautiful world that would let me do anything and go anywhere. The sounds, the art, the animation, it all just draws you in. The feeling you get from being able to go anywhere and do anything, running into mysterious characters helping you along your way gave me continuous chills. I was so afraid that I was wasting $400 on a switch and this game, but my fears were put to rest immediately after starting.

    Because this feeling that some video games, movies, and other forms of art are so elusive and difficult to explain, and may even be different for everyone, I can’t promise that it will also give you that feeling, but it gave it to me. And while I have enjoyed many, many, many games for so many different reasons (I have 180 PS4 games, including horizon), this game is so refreshing, and so life-giving, that I can only compare it to how I felt when I first started playing Asherons Call. If you were lucky enough to be a part of that game you will know what I mean.

    Zelda is an awe-inspiring experience, and while people will knit pick over things like how the control feels, etc, it's all perfect to me. Pure Nintendo magic.

    That’s all I’m gonna say. Because, the less you know, the better. Just go in there and make this experience your own, and stop watching youtube videos showing gameplay. ;)    … Expand

    This is quite possibly the best game Ive played in the last few years. Every time I pick up the controller its a new adventure waiting to happen. I can not tell you how enjoyable this game is to play.

    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.
