    It is worth buying a switch for this game only. Not only is it my favourite Zelda game (avid Zelda fan btw) it is my favourite game of all time. U have endless possibilities, infinite things to do, and even speedrunning which is SUPER fun. By far my favourite thing is riding around on horseback with my royal horse, Senator, and exploring the massive, immersive and amazing world of Hyrule.

    Breath of the Wild has a great open world and good physics. Difficulty, combat, progression and level/enemy design were flawed and, in the end, made it not a very good (Zelda) game in my opinion. This is a disappointment, as I am a huge fan of the Zelda series.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is as close to a perfect game as there is. I have no complaints about this game. I didn’t want to finish it; I was having so much fun. Everything about it is designed perfectly. The praise this game gets is truly earned, as there is truly nothing to rival it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do not understand why this game has so many 10 and 9 reviews. In my opinion, most things that 10 and 9 reviewers say is not true or at least shows inexperience with games - and what's more - Zelda games.

    Let me start by saying what many "negative" or mediocre reviews say: this game isn't bad. It's actually pretty good on its own. But it's a terrible Zelda game. It really is. I came into this game expecting an amazing way to experience what I experienced in Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, etc. That did not happen, and if you're hoping for that, well you'll be as disappointed as me, sorry to say.

    1. Exploration: That's the number one feature of this game. You explore, you see incredibly beautiful things, you climb mountains, soar the skies and swim up rivers. It's the definition of adventure. But here's the negative bit: it's. REALLY. boring. I don't know why, but there are very few rewards for exploring. What you get are Korok Seeds that you find throughout the map (there are over 900 of these lol) and you find Shrines. Korok Seeds get pretty pointless midway into the game because the upgrades you use them on get so expensive. But, this is what you get for exploring. Scenery, shrines and a pretty meh currency. That's it. You very very VERY rarely get unique weapons, clothes, or anything else for that matter.

    2. Shrines: These are not fun. Please stop praising them. 80% of them are puzzles made either by or for children, 10% are just a freebee with no level and 10% are obscure puzzles (like the constellations one) that you will probably go online to see how to solve.

    3. Story: People say the story, cutscenes and whatnot are very compelling. They are not. This is the most basic Zelda formula since the first Zelda. It's literally "Gather X Y Z W and save Zelda." I will, however, praise the freedom. The game is anything but linear, at least (which can be confusing at times, but it's alright). None of the characters are particularly interesting nor captivating but I suppose that's a matter of perspective. I find myself skipping 70% of the dialogue, and the cutscenes are some cringy **** sometimes. I don't know why there's voice acting either. Another "new" feature that has never been in a LoZ game, added for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

    4. Music: The music is also very lackluster. It's quiet, and I respect what they were going for, but it's just too bland for me. Zelda has always had beautiful orchestral or woodwind scores, and for this game they heavily relied on the piano and silence. I personally really dislike it. Climbing a giant mountain in silence is really dull.

    Now here's why this game is not a Zelda game:

    There are no dungeons with mini-bosses and cool unique items.

    There is no rolling.

    There is no green tunic/hat unless you do all the shrines.

    Most themes from past games aren't there.

    The Triforce barely ever gets mentioned despite being consistently central to the series.

    There are no unique bosses. Most "bosses" you fight are aspects of Ganon or overworld big mobs that you can find more than once or twice throughout the world.

    There is no main gimmick like in many other LoZ game. In TP you can become a Wolf. In Minish Cap you become tiny and explore the world in that perspective. In OoT you travel time. In BotW there is nothing of the sort.

    There is NO companion like Midna, Navi, Tatl, Fi, King of Red Lions, Ezlo, nothing. You play the game on your own, basically. Which is AWFUL because Link's companions have always been there to fill in the silence. Link never speaks and barely has any reaction to anything. The companions have always filled that void with their intricate personalities or interesting input. This is no more in BOTW.

    There is voice acting.

    Regular ****ty mobs can one shot you a lot of the times.

    There are health bars for some reason.

    I could fill a small book with many other complaints about this game, and I wish people would read it and stop looking at this game with such dramatic and in my opinion misguided opinions. Fanboys of the game tend to call negative opinions bots or triggered rivalry or even worse, "purists" for criticising the odd, new formula the game follows. It's a terrible witch-huntish way of thinking that curbs any and all discussion this game might summon.

    I was very hyped to play it until I figured 5 hours into it that it just wasn't the type of game I wanted or thought it would be: a Zelda game. Many will call me a purist and say the old Zelda formula was stale: I disagree wholeheartedly. The "old" "formula" was Zelda's identity, and in my eyes, Nintendo has made BotW to be a generic open world RPG with no particular identity. It does nothing new, at best it improves features that other games had before it. It's a beautiful and alright standalone game, but it's certainly not groundbreaking and certainly not a 10, not by a longshot. It's likely the worst Zelda game in years.    … Expand

    Took me two whole years to beat this game because I simply didn't want it to end. It's the very definition of a system-seller game, and I couldn't imagine a better console to play it on. My 60+ hours were spent on the TV, lying in bed, on my breaks at work, on an airplane... Wherever I was, I always felt at peace with the world they gave me to discover.

    I love the cell-shaded graphics.    Took me two whole years to beat this game because I simply didn't want it to end.

Wherever I was, I always felt at peace with the world they gave me to discover.

    I love the cell-shaded graphics. Like most other Zelda entries, I think the art style will prove to be timeless and never really look dated. The open-world "choose your own order" was such a fantastic change in the formula that I'm very close to saying this is the best Legend of Zelda game. It has the full scope of the original NES game but with the mechanics of later entries, and some of the best storytelling the franchise has ever had. The only thing that really holds it back as my favorite entry, is that the bosses felt too easy and didn't require enough strategy. In fact, my favorite aspect of the previous Zelda games was aquiring new items and using them in specific ways to defeat the bosses. Breath of the Wild definitely compensates for this by having updated combat, a larger arsenal of breakable weapons, and the slate abilities, and it's more than rewarding in the context of the game. Breakable weapons and shields was a bit annoying at first, but I think it made the experience more strategic, and the game would've been far too easy if they didn't break. I did make it my goal to get the rechargable Master Sword as soon as possible, so that could be why I'm easier on the mechanic than others. But it consequently hinders the boss battles, which feel more like a family-friendly Dark Souls that require nothing more than patience and well-placed dodges, as opposed to the classic Zelda bosses that felt more like solving an evolving puzzle.

    That was my only disappointment though. The exploration reached an unprecedented height. The story was grim and somber, but also contemplative and occasionally triumphant. The music is beautifully understated; a pretty rare treat when most games have such bombastic scores. Every character and location shined drastically in their own way. It was a joy to lose myself in Hyrule again, and I can't wait to return for Breath of the Wild 2.    … Expand

    -Pros-

    •This games visuals are stunning (For the switch at least) and I love the art style.
    •The combat is really fun and challenging.
    •The main gameplay mechanic is to just get creative with how you fight and move around and that's something that a lot of games don't have
    •shrines are short and designed for people to be able to complete them on the go like on the bus or on a short car drive
    •This game gives you the ability to go and fight the final boss with a twig which is something barely any games do.
    •The world is full of... I don't know! I haven't finished the game.

    -Cons-

    Most of the cons are visual problems that don't effect the game too much though

    •Textures are low resolution
    •Things don't render from a distance (As to be expected for a switch game)
    •Framerate is at 30 FPS and rarely drop to 20
    •Story is mediocre at best and is also mostly made up of flashbacks.

    Me gusta mucho el tema de los recuerdos, cinemáticas que te vas encontrando por todo el mapa para avivar un poco el lore y la memoria de Link.
    Eso sí, hay algunas misiones que son cansinas hasta decir basta, las típicas misiones que hay en todos los juegos que, si las hubiesen omitido, aunque entiendo que son necesarias, el juego sería de 10.
    De lo mejor que tiene es la mecánica de la escalada, se puede ir a cualquier sitio escalando, eso es una gozada y un plus para el mundo abierto.
    Quizás se te pueda hacer confuso, si no estás acostumbrado a este tipo de juegos, no saber a dónde ir, ni que hacer ahora, porque el juego te da libertad plena, lo único que tienes que hacer es acabar con Ganon, y listo.
    Al final se acaba haciendo, aunque te acostumbras, un poco pesado el tema de que se vaya rompiendo todo, el tema del frío, etc., pero lo dicho, te acostumbras, y con los trajes, se va solucionando.
    Los bosses en general me parecieron bastante sencillos para lo que nos tiene acostumbrados la saga, quizás es una de las mayores pegas que le pongo, te revienta tanto un npc cualquier de por ahí que Gaonon.
    Lo dicho, lo mejor que tiene es el mundo abierto, todos los secretos que esconde, y todo el tema de mazmorras y puzzles que son una genialidad.
    Por decir algo malo, este juego debería estar en PC, porque la Switch no puede a veces con él, sobre todo en el Bosque Kolog, la historia quizás sea demasiado sencilla para un juego de este calibre, y los enemigos, en especial los bosses, quizás se hagan sencillos de más.    … Expand

And you are the one kid to play in it. You can do anything, go straight to the final boss. He will kick your ass, but you can do it. Travel to the other side of the world? Sure.

The world is beautiful, the gameplay is excellent, puzzles are challenging, exploration is amazing, and there's so much content in this game that its worth paying 60 dollars for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an outstanding game that offers players a variety of different avenues to pursue, regions to explore, and adventures to take on. The main character is Link, whom, after being asleep for one-hundred years - trapped in a long slumber - is tasked with defeating Ganon and saving Hyrule from an apocalyptic end.

    What makes Breath of the Wild so different from other open-world games, however, is how much freedom you have in the world. You are free to do whatever you want in a giant, expansive world that offers loads of side quests and opportunities. Typically, with other open-world games, they have a story that they really want you to adhere to, but with BOTW, there's no set-in-stone story that you have to follow in order to progress yourself in the game. There's a main story, yes, but that's only for people who really crave a direct storyline from start to finish. You can do whatever you want from when you wake in the Shrine of Resurrection to the final boss fight in Hyrule Castle.

    There is a tutorial in the beginning of the game to help you get acclimated with the controls and mechanics of the game in the form of five shrines. These individual shrines teach you how to use runes, which are very beneficial in the game and can help you overcome many obstacles. They are referred to as Remote Bombs (both spherical and cubic), Magnesis, Stasis, and Cryonis. You get these right at the very beginning of the game, because they will be very beneficial to you in the long run.

    Then, once you get the paraglider from the old man (who actually turns out to be King Rhoam) by completing those shrines, you're free to do whatever you want. You can follow the main quests and go complete all the Divine Beasts (which I'll dive into later) and turn them back to the good guys' side, or, you can just roam free and do whatever you want. You can even attempt to take on Ganon straight away, although it would require an immense amount of skill and aptitude in order to defeat him with only three hearts and one stamina wheel. I personally wouldn't recommend doing that.

    You can go ahead and try to get started on the conquest of completing all one-hundred and twenty shrines, each offering their own unique puzzle, and try to collect as many spirit orbs as you can so you can garner more hearts and stamina wheels, but finding the shrines can be a puzzle in its own right. There are some shrines that are locked away and have to be solved via a puzzle and some that are buried deep underground, waiting for the chosen hero to unlock them and bring them up to the surface. A lot of puzzle-solving, yes, in order to get some shrines, but it will all prove to be beneficial when you commence your fight with Calamity Ganon.

    There is also a lot of lore in the game as well, providing backstory on Hyrule's past and how it fell into despair. These can be found through the 'Locked Memories' main quest, which has you go on a journey, scouring through Hyrule in search for a place where Link can recall them. This can be a trying task in its own right, but it's definitely worth it, and I would highly recommend it. And, also, if you want to advance the story at all, you kind of HAVE to do it. No pressure, but it's a very good thing to do in the game.

    You don't even have to do that, though, in order to beat the game. As I mentioned earlier, you're free to do whatever you want in BOTW: fight enemy bases/camps, search for the lost spirits (otherwise known as Koroks) of the world, or just walk around and bask in the majesty and splendor of the world you're in. And complete a variety of different side quests, allowing you to explore the world in a new light each time.

    The game is really all about exploration and finding things to do, and it's amazing how much attention to detail there is in the game. You could be exploring the Faron region, for example, and notice how the sky changes as you immerse yourself into that region. In that specific region, the climate is typically in a monsoon sort of state, which means it's almost always raining and very wet from time to time. But in the Gerudo region, it has a desert-like feel and follows the same guidelines that deserts do: intensely hot during the day, extremely cold during the night. It's amazing how diverse each region is.

    One of the bigger and important quests in the game, however, is freeing the Divine Beasts. What you essentially do is take back the four Divine Beasts (Vah Medoh, Vah Rudania, Vah Ruta, and Vah Naboris) from the clutches of Ganon (who represents himself in different forms in each Divine Beast) and use them to take back Hyrule Castle, which has been overtaken by Ganon. Each Divine Beast offers its own challenges and obstacles for you to overcome, using your own wits and the tools the game has provided for you. Another reason to give Breath of the Wild infinite credit when it comes to adventure and survival.

Es ist nicht nur das beste Switch-Spiel, sondern vor allem das beste Spiel aller Zeiten. Außerdem ist es meiner Meinung nach das beste Spiel der Reihe und ich meine, Zelda natürlich zurecht ist die beliebteste Spielereihe aller Zeiten. An alle die eine Switch ohne Botw(Breath of the wild) haben: Schämt euch! Man findet auf der ganzen Welt keine Top-Liste der besten Switch-Spiele ohne Botw auf Platz 1.
    Doch wieso liebe ich dieses Spiel so sehr?
    1. Die Musik ist unfassbar gut. Und das obwohl sie nicht von Koji Kondo ist. Das schafft sonst fast kein Nintendo-Spiel. Ich liebe das Main-Theme! Aber allein der Trailer des Spiels ist unübertrieben epischer als alle Trailer (auch von Filmen), die ich je gesehen habe.
    2. Die Story und die Charaktere sind so interessant und genial! Die Story ist einfach nur herzzerreißend und so unfassbar nachvollziehbar. Man startet mit Link ohne jegliche Erinnerung in der postapokalyptischen Welt Hyrule und man erlangt langsam seine Erinnerungen zurück und erkundet die Welt. Die Charaktere sind einfach nur toll dargestellt. Die Entwicklung von Prinzessin Zelda ist super dargestellt. Die verschiedenen Dörfer und Völker sind auch witzig und interessant.
    3. Die Freiheit ist einzigartig. Es gibt kein Spiel, das so ein Open-World-Game ist wie Botw. Es gibt keine unsichtbaren Wände. Du kannst überall hin, wo du hin willst. Du kannst in jedes Haus, was wirklich einzigartig ist, denn so ein Spiel gibt es sonst nicht. Kein Open-World-Game hat wirklich keine Grenzen, außer Botw.
    4. Dann gibt es da noch die kleineren Unglaublichkeiten, die ich jetzt alle in einen Punkt packe. Es gibt 120 sogenannte Schreine, in denen man kleine Rätsel und Prüfungen absolviert, die jeweils 5-10 Minuten dauern und für die man auch eine Belohnung bekommt, die sich lohnt, wenn man alle schafft. Es gibt über 150 Sidequests, die zwar teilweise nervig sind, aber trotzdem viele Spielstunden füllen. Und dann sind da natürlich die 900 Krogs. Sie verstecken sich unter Steinen, auf Bäumen, in Teichen und vielen anderen Orten. Sie sind auch hilfreich, da man mit ihnen seine Waffentasche vergrößern kann, die Belohnung, die man kriegt, wenn man alle hat, ist aber lächerlich. Sie bringt absolut nichts. Natürlich können diese Dinge auch negativ gewertet werden, wenn man 100% schaffen will, aber eigentlich bedeutet das nur, dass es extrem viel Content gibt und das ist es wofür Botw steht. Dann kommt hinzu, dass man Pferde reiten kann, dass es viele verschiedene Kostüme mit verschiedenen Buffs gibt und dass die Waffen zerbrechen. Das könnte auch als negativ angesehen werden, was ich aber nicht finde, da man sonst die ganze Zeit nur mit seiner besten Waffe spielt und die anderen nicht braucht. So muss man überlegen, was taktisch klüger ist: Die gute Waffe zu benutzen oder eine eher schlechtere.
    Doch natürlich hat auch Botw schlechte Punkte. Der größte ist, dass der Bosskampf lächerlich einfach ist. Ohne zu Spoilern: Der Bosskampf hat zwei Phasen. Die erste ist nicht schwer, aber anspruchsvoll und die zweite kann man nur schaffen. Der Boss macht keine Attacken und du selbst musst ihn nur oft genug treffen, dann ist er down. Außerdem wurden die alten bekannten Zelda-Dungeons durch vier Titanen gestrichen, die erstens weniger sind als die Dungeons und zweitens viel leichter als die klassischen Zelda-Dungeons sind, also kein guter Ersatz. Die 120 Schreine hingegen sind wirklich eine tolle Idee, sie machen wirklich Spaß.
    Aber jedes Spiel hat so seine Macken und Fehler. Nichts desto trotz: Spielt dieses Spiel, ihr werdet es lieben und falls ihr es durchgespielt habt und es nicht mochtet, dürft ihr diese Bewertung ruhig mit "Nein" bewerten.    … Expand

It is no where near the quality of ALTTP and OOT. Definitely not the best Zelda ever. The weapon durability system is stupid. Everything doesn't need to hit like a damn truck. The dungeons are pitifully short. Most of your playtime is spent running around and climbing. The mechanics are poorly explained. The food system is interesting but annoying. The tutorial plateau was the most fun part until I was met with the disappointment that was the rest of the game. It's like they created this huge open area and then added the other stuff last minute. Even Phantom Hourglass was better than this. I'd maybe place it 5th or 6th in the list, below ALTTP, OOT, LA, and Link Between Worlds. I get that they wanted to change up the formula, but this just isn't good.… Expand

The fast travel system is also terrible depending on where you need to go- there’s not always one even to get back to a place you’ve been before. Then there’s the one hit kills by enemies which also stinks. It’s so easy to die in this game, and I’m a very experienced game player. Overall I found the whole thing very frustrating- it’s not fun.

    EL MEJOR JUEGO DE LA HISTORIA DE LOS VIDEOJUEGOS. Mucha exploración, historia bastante buena, jugabilidad amplia y gráficos buenos. Lo mejor es que como es mundo abierto puedes jugar siempre que quieras y nunca te aburres. 10/10

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was my first game on Switch. After all, why not, when she has such praise and even won the game of the year. The game has a great atmosphere with beautiful graphics. I'm really smacking in front of the developers here, because they played perfectly with the graphics to make the game look good, even though it runs on a handheld console. In addition toThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was my first game on Switch. After all, why not, when she has such praise and even won the game of the year. The game has a great atmosphere with beautiful graphics. I'm really smacking in front of the developers here, because they played perfectly with the graphics to make the game look good, even though it runs on a handheld console. In addition to graphics, I was also pleasantly surprised by the controls, which are luxuriously used by the Switches console itself. The story is great. You will change items for our main character Link during the game, but you will not upgrade it, as I am used to with other RPGs. When I have bitten the upgrades, you are not getting through a new level here, but across the fulfillment of various puzzles, which are quite simple at the beginning, but at the end they can be quite annoying. For fulfilling these puzzles, you then get the so-called Spirit Orbs, which you then use for the improvement itself, whether HP or stamina. But you don't just get it and you have to find such an illuminated stone that will give you the opportunity to replace these Spirit Orbs. What's magical about the game is that it still seems to force you to discover something. You, as a player, don't know much about it from the beginning and you won't actually find out anything as you progress through the game, but you have to figure it out yourself. Let's say you can cook, but the game won't tell you what ingredients to use, so you have to experiment yourself. This can be quite frustrating at first when you use your heavily fried food, which you cooked badly in the final and thus wasted your items. But other times, you can get the perfect feeling that you've mixed such a perfect blend that will give you a few HP with some time bonus in the form of resistance to fire, winter or a moment of increased HP. I was quite frozen that our main protagonist did not speak, and not only him. Overall, there is text all the time and the characters make a sound here and there, but otherwise they are silent. I understand that it's a kind of style of play, but for me personally, it wouldn't hurt to throw some dubbing in such a perfect RPG so that the game can draw you even more into the story. Overall, the absence of dubbing is, in my opinion, the biggest minus of the game. Otherwise, it's a great game that could convince you to try the Nintendo Switch and I, as a long opponent of the Switch with words, it's just a portable console without performance, I changed my mind.… Expand

I had never played a Zelda game, nor an open world game but the game was pure bliss, however, it is not without flaws, the main one I found was the replayability, unless you enjoy messing around, the post-game content is lacking. Some other ones are the weapon system, I found it to be a bit to easy to break weapons but I did enjoy the variety each weapon had. The last one I want to go over are the shrines and divine beasts, all the shrines look the same, and it looks OK, I think it would benefit from a few other designs that are different depending on where you are in the world. The divine beasts I found boring to solve and they too look the same.

    Overall fantastic game, would recommend.    … Expand

    El mejor exclusivo de Switch y de toda la generación.

    Nos ponemos en la piel de Link, el cual despierta de un letargo de 100 años y emprende la misión de salvar al reino de Hyrule de las garras de Ganon. Historia: la narrativa es el punto más flojo del videojuego, quizás el único. Nos cuentan la historia en forma de 12 recuerdos localizados en diferentes puntos del mapa de juego. Veo    El mejor exclusivo de Switch y de toda la generación.

    Nos ponemos en la piel de Link, el cual despierta de un letargo de 100 años y emprende la misión de salvar al reino de Hyrule de las garras de Ganon.

    Historia: la narrativa es el punto más flojo del videojuego, quizás el único. Nos cuentan la historia en forma de 12 recuerdos localizados en diferentes puntos del mapa de juego. Veo poco desarrollo en este aspecto, pero Zelda no suele destacar por la narrativa individual de cada juego. Lo realmente interesante es el Lore alrededor de la saga y la conexión entre las distintas líneas temporales.

    Jugabilidad: La jugabilidad es sobresaliente, introduce muchos cambios respecto a las entregas tradicionales. Gran variedad de armas: lanzas, espadas, mandobles, hachas... Todas ellas se rompen, obligando al jugador a variar el arsenal continuamente en los primeros compases del juego. Después todos tenemos nuestra Tier List personal de armas y sabemos aprovisionarnos.

    Gráficos: Este juego es un milagro, que ocurre cada cierto tiempo. Digo milagro porque siempre hay algún juego en todas las generaciones de consolas que nos parece imposible a priori que un hardware de esas características lo pueda mover. Zelda ofrece un gigantesco mundo abierto lleno de vida, está entre los 10 mapas más grandes de la historia de los videojuegos. Todo ello lo mueve con la posibilidad de jugar en modo dock a 900p 30 fps y modo portátil a 720p 30 fps. Personalmente, el rendimiento deja algo que desear, llegando a bajar de los 30 fps en algunas zonas del juego como el Bosque Kolog, que es la más notable en cuanto a bajada de rendimiento. Por lo demás, sobresaliente.

    Duración: Completar la historia principal siendo un jugador medio en su primera run, entorno a las 20 horas. Pero este juego es mucho más que eso, la forma real de disfrutar esta obra maestra es explorar cada rincón de Hyrule y descubrir sus innumerables secretos. Eso nos puede llevar centenas de horas. En mi caso personal, he completado 3 partidas distintas, entre las 3 sumo más de 500 horas. Y lo peor de todo, ninguna de las tres las he completado al 100%, se me resiste buscar las 900 semillas kologs. Una run normal centrándose únicamente en la historia, recuerdos, bestias divinas y los 120 santuarios sobrepasa las 100 horas.

    Banda Sonora: No es necesariamente mala, pero me parece de las más flojas de la saga. Pero todo ello es un gusto personal, no me considero un experto en la materia.

    DLC: añaden contenido adicional al juego, pero salvo alguna excepción como el modo experto y el santuario de la espada los veo bastante pobres. También he de añadir la inclusión de algún objeto bastante interesante, como las bridas y arreos ancestrales y el teletransportador.

    Conclusión: Juegazo IMPRESCINDIBLE. Seas o no fan de la saga, es una rotura de los cánones tradicionales y una vuelta a los orígenes, con un clara referencia en Zelda (1986).

    This game adds such a fresh air to the series! From the very first step out the cave all the way to the finale it's engaging throughout. This game tackles one of the most difficult aspects of an open world game. Linearity and Interest. Being able to tackle any of the shrines in any order or literally attack the final boss in your underwear, or being able to solve a puzzle in 30 different ways then intended makes it so freeing. Exploring and discovering new foods, shrines, puzzles, enemies, and side quests was one of the most fun things I have ever done! This game would easily hit a 10/10 for me in my book.... Except for one glaring flaw..

    The second playthrough... Everything I have just detailed is immediately squashed after completing the game and starting a new playthrough. The main draw, the mystery and discovery... It's gone. That first playthrough made me feel like a little kid again, that's not something I take lightly, not much can do that for me. I genuinely love this game.... But unlike with Majora's Mask. That second play through doesn't leave a lot to do. That's all there is at the end of the day.. And that's hard to realize it sucks to. It's so SO much to do... But when you break it down.... There is no replay value... I am hoping the sequel tackles this issue just like how Majora's Mask did with their side quests.    … Expand

    It was alright. I get that the devs wanted to emphasize personal exploration, but it meant the plot just ended up lacking any real drama or sense of urgency. Also the lack of any dungeons was ass, and NO the guardians don't count; they're just bigger shrines.

The plot, as always very simple: the kingdom Hyrule captured by Calamity Ganon and Link must save the kingdom Hyrule. The game is a big and completely open world, but some places are still empty. Pretty good graphics. Thanks to the powerful engine, the game is realistic physics, for example: you can climb the rocks, mow the grass (it's very fun), realistic behavior of characters and so on. Of the cons: a lot of extra job monotonous, but you can close your eyes. The game deserves the highest rating and the title of "Game of the Year." 10/10… 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.
