I didn't really appreciate some game mechanics like the absence of a weapons status (since them can be destroyed you don't really know which one is worth to kept), some special moves have the same buttons of others attack (ZL is used both to guard and for Daruk’s Protection, and long Y press for strong attack and for Urbosa’s Fury) and more in general the combat sistem could be improved. Some other thigs didn't get a proper tutorial so on early fase was vary hard to manage (horse mount and the mechanism to create potion and food). The game doesn't give a proper count of all the sub activities like shrine, you don't really know how many of them are missing unless you walk without a real dastination, in an area you could have done everything but the game didn't inform you. That's sad because the shrine puzzles were the funniest part of the game. From an aestetic and graphic point of view I've nothing to say, just awsome some times a slightery frame rate drop but nothing to impossible to face. The story is maybe to weak, I would have preferred more dept and diversify main missions, in the end you just need to do the same thing 4 times before facing the boss.… Expand

    Great and fun game play and beautiful open world that you can endlessly explore! It is so perfectly designed for the switch as well. Nintendo knows their stuff! If there's anything I would change it would be to only make the story a bit less lackluster.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. BoTW is an amazing game. It's a very expansive open-world game that you can play at your own pace. It has hours of content and more with the DLC. The combat is fun, but when a weapon breaks mid-combat it's not satisfying. The game makes itself incredibly fun with things like runes. The main story is pretty much that of any Zelda game, Zelda gets captured by Ganon and it's your job to save her. The main boss of the game is slightly underwhelming and way too easy compared to bosses like Thunderblight Ganon. However, it is a truly amazing game.… Expand

The depth of the little things provided by each physical interaction, the physics themselves, the audio, the idle animations of enemies, all combine to a gestalt that not only far surpasses the 3 other 3d zelda games I've played (OoT, WW, and SS) but also makes this the most enjoyable open world experience I've engaged with. This is also one of the few games I've played where the issues other people have are invisible to me, I had to re read Jim Sterling's review (I view Jim as an idiot but it's hard to argue against the issues he has with this) and rewatch Matthew Matosis' review to remember what some of the issues were that this game has. So take my positive rating with a grain of salt I suppose… Expand

Sure, the story is kind of weak, especially after the amazing story told in Skyward Sword, and there has been some quality of life mods, like Second Wind for example, that has added tons of unofficial, but still amazing new content to the game, and it kind of makes the original game look pathetic. But I still love this game, It is a phenomenon that Nintendo has yet to top, It is their take on an open world game, and their answer to some of the greatest open world games of all time like The Elder Scrolls and The Witcher. This game is one of a kind, Nintendo has never made anything like it, even in Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess, with huge maps to explore, you still had to do things in a certain order and couldn't just go off and do your own thing. That's one of the best parts of Breath of The Wild, It's a true open world Zelda game. Even though your supposed to be saving Hyrule, you can just go and do your own thing, go and have your own adventure. I don't know what it is, For some reason I just love screwing around in this world, doing my own thing. The feeling I get when playing this game is unlike any I've felt before, The games music might actually play into this, It's mostly very quiet with an occasional piano note, It may sound boring, but it actually makes going around Hyrule better. It's very ambient and peaceful, The only way I can describe it is "It's Freedom Like You Never Knew" I feel like this game is what I've been waiting for my entire life. The feeling I get from this can be described like this, it's just like when I'm Taking a walk, On a nice afternoon, It's very quiet, no one is really outside looking at me, I'm just alone, With some wind blowing. During this time, I'm just contemplating life, and not really caring about anything. In fact, Anything could happen, This could be the calm before the storm, and any minute now, things could go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye, people could be coming outside, all excited and loud. There's really no other game like this, The entire game is basically the calm before the storm, one minute nothings happening, then the next monsters come out of the ground and start beating you up. The textbook example of freedom should be described as roaming Hyrule in this game, It's truly is an incredible feeling. I just love this game, It just defines who I am, I wish I could be put into the world of Hyrule in this game. I've always just wanted this level of freedom in real life, and be completely devoid of any kind of labor, like school or anything that is hard or requires insane focus and dedication. This game just speaks to me more than anyone else I know. You should absolutely play this game if you haven't, It is a delight of an experience, That is Nintendo's best work to date. And with Breath of The Wild 2 coming out next year, There's no better time to get caught up. 10/10.… Expand

The Dungeons are not engaging or challenging, neither are the bosses and there is nothing interesting to find in the overworld - no Progression because everything breaks all the time, which also limits the difficulty of the Puzzles. You have all the tools from minute one -> hence the puzzles stay at the same level of complexity the whole game (very low complexity).

    I grew up with Zelda, I love it to bits and I think they should have retained more of the design pillars of the original. Instead of engaging 30-50 hours worth my time, I now have 100-200 hours of yet another grindey open-world game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Эта игра порадовала меня на старте игры, предложив многие возможности, и я этому был рад, но потом я дошёл до сюжета игры. И был очень разочарован.

    Первое что хочется отметить это квесты. Сама сюжетная линия просто отстой, состоит из пяти квестов протяжённостью 30-50 часов. Растягивали это квесты разработчики как могли, а именно принеси-подай квесты, сказать, что это самый скучный способ растянуть игру - ничего не сказать. Я даже боюсь вспоминать квест по восстановлению воспоминаний по фотографиям, т.е. приди на место которое указано на фото. Фото вроде бы двенадцать, но, побывав во всех местах, тебе дают тринадцатую, и на этом моменте у меня поехала крыша. Доп. квесты - тоже самое, принеси это, приготовь то, скажи этому. Я также упомяну, что за все эти квесты почти ничего не дают. Также игра была сделана криворукими геймдизайнерами, что я имею ввиду? А то что вещи и окружение с которыми можно взаимодействовать, не то чтобы не выделяются, но не дают понять, что их можно передвигать и тд. Что выливается в непонимание при прохождении первого чудовища, и если быть чуть слеповатым, то можно не увидеть возможность взаимодействия с ним через карту, кто понял - тот понял. Мир в этой игре действительно большой и одновременно пустой, точек интереса совсем мало, что также говорит о лени разработчиков.

    Плюсы в этой игре тоже есть, но их настолько мало, что минусы с головой их перекрывают, но я о них скажу. Первое что упоминают в такой ситуации это физика игры, какая она хорошая, почти симуляция. Ну и всё.

    Подводя свой итог, я хочу выразить непонимание тех игроков, что ставят 10/10, эта игра максимум заслуживает пятёрку, но не больше. Вспомните, что вы говорите, когда видите какую-то игру в которой есть такие же квесты? Как минимум чуть-чуть играете, пока не надоест и бросаете, а как максимум сразу же выключаете потому, что тратить время на такое поделие не решитесь. Так вот друзья делайте выводы сами, решайте сами, и не попадайтесь на уловки игрожуров и издательств.    … Expand

    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild might be one of the best game of the franchise. The music, the visual, the environment, and the story are really good. One of my issue with the game are the dungeons because they almost feel the same and the weapon that have a limited use. Otherwise the game is pretty good and is a must buy if you own a Nintendo Switch system.

The only good part of the game is the exploration for the sake of exploration, some puzzles of the exploration are cool, and some are not. The 4 main-temple are short but well made and fun, show what the generic temples could be... the Master sword dlc is faaaaaar better than the entire game. I'm not trolling here, Nintendo gave an incomplete game and people were all "wow, so different"... I was with really high hopes for the game being a zelda fan and the reviews, and got an meh experience... If you forget all about game and just go relax for the view and the sake of exploration you'll like this game, but the lack of variety of monsters and real rewards makes exploring nonrewarding, so its just exploration for the sake of exploration ... The game don't deserve the 1 note that I gave, it could be a 5 because the exploration for the sake of exploration, but I really feel strange knowing that this is a opinion of a minority and almost no one sees that way.... I wonder if the game was made by EA or other company if the reviews would be the same.....… Expand

    It is for exquisite palates, to be enjoyed little by little, without being in a hurry to reach the end. Lots of quality content, both children and adults will like it, guaranteed.

    The artistic direction is implacable, they look like cartoons, the performance is constant, the motor moves everything with great ease, both in portable console mode and on the dock, although playing it on a 1080p TV is probably the best way, the soundtrack is good It could be better, more epic for my taste, the introduction of the open world is quite a statement of intent on how to do it right. It is not that it is huge, but that there is coherence, that there is always something to do, that it makes sense, something that is very difficult to achieve and that only a select few are capable of achieving. If something could be improved, it is to include in the game mechanics the possibility of playing cooperatively on the same machine or online.

    Nintendo, think of the siblings who could play together in this wonderful story of friendship, duty and love. They are very good values ​​that should be taught to the little ones. My 7 year old nephew is enjoying this game, and after having played Mario Odyssey, Luigis Mansion, Super Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and a few more, this is the one he has played the most and the one he liked the most. The pity is that it is a single player game and I see the twin sister who also likes it, but the protagonist is a boy.
    Nintendo, puts Princess Zelda or another female character as a co-op protagonist in these types of games.

    I honestly cannot for the life of me figure out why everyone loves this game so much. Progression has no red thread that it follows whatsoever, the survival and durability aspects are inexplicably tedious, shrines feel pointless and samey since they barely require any brainpower and are only there to give you farmable tokens so you have something to "do," it takes ages to travel from one place to another, and the world is pretty much dead outside of the settlements with nothing but small, random packs of the same enemies every 5 minutes which makes exploring the world about as gratifying as trying to swim in a puddle of mud. As someone who has played all Zelda games since Link's Awakening, I just cannot see why this game has gotten the cult following that it has. I want to enjoy it, and I've tried on multiple occasions, but I just can't. This is also nothing like Ocarina of Time, like, at all, aside from it being a third person Zelda game, so I have no idea why people are using it for comparison. It's more along the lines of Skyward Sword, both in terms of how it plays and how much of a low point it is in the franchise. While I want to applaud them for trying something new, all this game does it make me wish they never did.    … Expand

    THIS is Zelda. It doesn't really matter what kind of game you like. You will enjoy this. Well. Maybe if you only like violent zombie shooty bloody gutsy games. There's so much content and the sense of freedom and magic is unrivaled. If you haven't played this, you kinda really have to.

The main one I have to point out is weapon breaking. This is something that adds more of a realistic twist to the game, and I feel may make the game better in some spots. You always have to be scavenging for new tools. This makes it more fun in a way, making the player worry a bit. However, the main concept I feel lacks and I feel it just becomes more frustrating than fun/realistic, especially in the early game. The game also lacks a set story, kind of. Overall, this game is way worth the price tag. Also, get the expansion pack. It is also worth the $20.… Expand

    Me pareció un juego demasiado aburrido, un juego donde literalmente tienes que caminar muchísimo y explorar obligatoriamente si se quiere avanzar en la historia y culminar el juego.

Even though these aspects helped in solidifying my rating of the game, when I imagine the title at its best, it’s always the tranquil landscapes, punctuated by a striking piano melody. In this rendition of Hyrule, everything is lost. As I traveled the land, I would be regularly reminded of what had taken place 100 years ago, the day when the kingdom lost its king and its life. The faithful day when the champions went to confront their fate, only to be met with a grim reminder of their powerlessness. The foe they faced knew how to exploit the civilization’s hubris, withholding that their technology and mastery over the beasts of legend would be enough to save them from catastrophe. Link wakes up 100 years after the faithful day, having failed in his duties, he barely understands the land upon which he walks, or his purpose. The wound is old, and this generation has forgotten the horrors of the calamity which claimed the lives of many, and so has nature. Nature doesn’t care about Ganon, it doesn’t care about lives, it just exists. As Link travels, Hyrule itself greets Link, and he acknowledges it as its own creature, deformed and corrupted by Ganon’s influence. In Link’s quest to reclaim the land, he has to first become acquainted with it. As he gathers enough Spirit Orbs to once again wield the Blade of Evil’s Bane, as he frees the Divine Beasts, and as he discovers each trial, there is always a layer of sorrow and regret lurking beneath.

    In one sentence: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s greatest achievement is in making the player grief for the desecrated land of Hyrule.

    So many things I love about this game.
    The feeling of entering the stables at a rainy day talking to the NPCs for a side quest and checking Terry's stock . This beautiful Japanese styled village that's got this wonderful music. Don't even get me started on the beauty of Rito Village or Gerudo town...
    Although the story is the same as always in a zelda game, it is uniquily interesting. I always found myself chasing the cutscenes to get to know more about Link, Zelda or the others.
    The game has an interesting sense of progress since your not grinding your levels to increase the numbers on the screen. A welcome change.
    Instead you gain new abilities, more stamina or hearts. You might wanna build your house or a even a town.
    This game is the very definition of freedom in a videogame...
    Have a really stupid and weird idea in mind to kill the monsters? Do it, it will work. Want to go to Goron city and to the story there first? Do it. Want to go some shield/snowboarding? Do it. Want to enjoy the view and music somewhere and chill? Yes. Or just straight to the main boss?

    In order to make the game get more difficult, the developers give the enemies abilities and health levels you cannot reach. This is only due to a severe lack of development ability. If you have to make a creature with more health to increase difficulty rather than have it simply be better or more challenging, you have failed as a developer.

All of this open world stuff is not without its downsides like item grinds and having to get specific gear to do well in a specific area, but those are such minor flaws in this very polished title. Often it’s a chill, fun game but still has its challenges that may seem hard at first but can often be very rewarding and allow you to get great gear quickly while still not rushing progression. It kinda feels like a better Mario sunshine in a sense, in which the developers are testing out new things and inviting you along into those tests, but this time they feel smoother, better and more streamlined.

When I started playing this game, the Sheikah Towers and the way they work were very similar to the towers in Far Cry 3 I noticed, and it disappointed me that there was a game mechanic that was similar to some other game I had already played, but that really isn't something bad. The only bad thing I have to say about this game is when there is an enemy you are maneuvering around, if there is a wall or a climbable object, you just latch on to the object and are stuck there for a bit and that lets the enemy hit you, and sometimes these objects are behind your camera therefore you couldn't even see it, and when this happened it was beyond frustrating. Other than that, this game is one of the best game ever created.

    The characters, the story, the landscape the gameplay. It fits all together in a beautiful game. However, I am not a big Zelda fan, and this game has changed my opinion of Zelda a bit. The puzzles are fun and interesting and sometimes are confusing, but eventually it clicks. One thing you have to avoid while playing a game like this is looking up how to do puzzles, because the satisfaction just goes out the window. The combat in this game is also just amazing. Even after beating the game, excluding the DLC, there is still so much left to do and then you can beat it all over again in Mastermode.

    From the first minute until you beat Ganon, the game is truly astonishing. The exploration feels very natural, like you're progressing in a very real, slow, but satisfying way. After the game ends, there isn't much to do aside from a TON of side quests that don't really feel all that rewarding after you've already completed the game. Still though, the first 100 hours or so are worth the price.

You just run around looking for more weapons after your old ones break. It's too different from the older games for me to enjoy it. The changes are all    Oh boy. People are gonna hate me for this.

The changes are all just not what I prefer personally. More open is NOT what I like in games. Sorry.    … Expand

    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]
