This brings one ofThis Zelda game defied all expectations. The art style is beautiful and there are so many stunning views available due to Links ability to climb almost anywhere you can see. Right out of the gate youre given everything you need to explore the world and take the game as you please. This game sprinkles puzzles everywhere instead of simply placing them in the dungeons. This brings one of Zelda's best aspects (puzzel solving) to the forefront of the entire game instead of dredging through tedious tasks in a race to get to the next dungeon. I often find it hard to complete my tasks quickly as the world is just so delightfully distracting and fun to explore.

    The new weapon system was a big bummer at first but it quickly became a non-factor as you constantly find newer and cooler weapons. In fact, I often have to discard a weapon from my inventory just to pick it up. I see many people complaining about the lack of "unique items" like the hookshot and so forth that are unique to solving a dungeon or allowing access to a new area. To me this was always one of the worst aspects of the Zelda series: locking you into a narrow path that can only be traversed via a *conveniently* placed item. Had the baddies only removed that item from the dungeon they had taken complete control of, you'd never be able to beat it - plot hole much? Not to mention you find WAY more unique weapons, shields, and other items throughout Breath of the Wild than all the other Zelda games combined. Do you really care that you don't get silly items that you use for 1 or 2 areas and generally don't need to use again? The old way made navigation through the world about what you couldn't do yet and having to come back when you can, the new way makes it so you can practically go anywhere and do anything as long as you can figure out the puzzle of how to do it - and that's why simply exploring is just so dang fun.

    The additional RPG elements are a great bonus. Crafting, upgrades, and cooking add a new layer to the game that creates additional goals and purpose to exploring every nook and crazy of the beautifully crafted world.

    This is without a doubt the best Zelda game ever made. It is a revolutionary change to the formula, one to rival the greatness of Ocarina of Time when it first broke the mold of the "traditional" Zelda games before it. Like Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild has those who will kick and scream at the changes, but history will show this game as the start of the new golden Era in the Zelda series just as OOT had done so many years ago.    … Expand

    Okay everybody ignore the hate this is one of the if not the greatest video game of all time definitely worth it and a extraordinary time. The controls are smooth, Combat is fun, the puzzles are always fresh and creative, and the story is emotional but also uplifting with many more emotions. 10/10.

    Hands down most challenging and open world Zelda game. Very easy to get sucked into the game's world and atmosphere!

    The lack of linearity is sometimes overwhelming, but no other games capture this same sense of adventure. Totally worth buying a Switch just for this game! I can see myself putting in more than 100 hours into it.

    Solid open world adventure with many things to do. Even though I have completed the story, I have only completed 22 percent of the game and there are so much more left for me to do. I would give it a 9.5 because it lacks hd rumble and i would certainly love to have a durability checker on weapons and shields.

These things are not an issue to me. JUST ENJOY THE GAME!!! Now on to the review...(no spoilers). Note: Not a total nintendo fanboy, I also love playstation and my pc so no bias here although am a huge zelda fan.

    Holy mother of pineapples! This game is so amazing. Just the feel of the game, gameplay, graphics (for a nintendo game), and story are so well done. I have been a huge zelda fan since oot and can definitely say this game can really go toe to toe with the perfect game that was oot. How the game puts you in a huge world like in this game and basically just tells you to have fun is just what makes it so fun for me. You make the decisions on what you want to do in this game compared to the past games that were more linear and forced you to follow a smaller path. There are so many mechanics in this game and I still think I haven't learned all of them. This game is all about exploration, discovery, adventure, and of course being an awesome hero that will save Hyrule. Story is not totally up there but is understandable to how this game is with its gameplay and open world to explore, do love seeing all the well done cutscenes when they pop in though.. So many barriers were broken with this game in the Zelda franchise which makes me have hope in Nintendo again to bring more great experiences in the future instead of always using the same old same old with some of their other franchises. The game is hard to put down after playing it...sadly my body needs sleep, food, and bathroom needs. Bravo to Nintendo. GOTY 2017 contender for me personally.    … Expand

    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.

I have been a massive Zelda fan for 15 years - and this game stands tall amongst the best.

    The vastness and beauty of the open-world, and the constant exploration through the wilderness is a feeling I have not had before from a video game. The freedom this game gives you is almost overwhelming. There are distinct Zelda elements throughout - familiar items, races, mechanics etc - but there are also complete fresh reinventions to the series that have not been done before, and it is here, I feel, that lots of the negative reviews are coming from. Don't get me wrong - everyone is entitled to their own opinion - but I personally feel that doing a few things differently is not a bad thing - every Zelda game has brought something different to the table - why not this one too?

    People have complained about the music - whilst I agree there aren't as many catchy melodies as there have been previously, the new, gorgeous piano driven music trades "catchyness" that for an incredible atmosphere - and I feel sorry for those who can't enjoy what this style of music is bringing to the game. People have also complained about the exploration being slow - but for me, I find it enormously satisfying, turning over every leaf and finding all the secrets the game has to offer. Another complaint people make is that the weapons break - whilst frustrating at times, it adds an entirely new survival mechanic to the game.

    I suppose what I'm saying is - depending on your personality and patience - if you take the things that make this game different from other Zelda games and embrace them (rather than complain about them) - then this game stands to be Zelda perfection alongside the great Ocarina of Time.

    I would also like to praise the storyline and voice-acting which is brilliant and completely fresh, yet fits perfectly into the Zelda universe.

    My only complaint would perhaps be the lack of classically colourful, unique-looking, sometimes claustrophobic Zelda dungeons (though I do really enjoy the new shrines!). I still give the game a 10, because taking this into account, I'd give it a 9.6 which is still rounds to 10.

    Really take caution with the negative reviews, they are very subjective - I feel you get from this game what you want to. I am so happy with this game, it is a true epic.    … Expand

    A game like this comes out once in a generation. Every single open world game from here on will be compared to Breath of the Wild. Nintendo once again proving that when they're backed into a corner, nobody even comes close to topping them. They put 200% into this game and I urge everybody to play it.

    this is great it really lived up to the hype for me the graphics are good especial considering how small the Switch is to a Xbox or PlayStation like geez almost as powerful and like 1/20th the size. its also funny seeing all the Sony fans freaking out and making up random reviews. this is true comedy.

    Honestly, the best Zelda title I've played in 18 years. Don't walk into this game thinking it will be Ocarina of Time of Twilight Princess; this is a complete change from the typical formula, and it's all the better for it. After multiple playthroughs, I can firmly say that this is my favorite video game I've played so far.

It has a lot of stuff to do in the open world, really easy to get used with play mode, it has a lot of details and it's a game you get the will to play, despite all the crap games that are released recently this is a really interesting game and as I said you get the will to play it.

    How do you make the Legend of Zelda relevant again? By destroying the definition of what a game like the Legend of Zelda is supposed to be. Where do I start with this game? How about the fact you really go can anywhere you want- horizontally and vertically. How about the fact the physics in this game actually matter and you can truly manipulate and approach every situation differentlyHow do you make the Legend of Zelda relevant again? By destroying the definition of what a game like the Legend of Zelda is supposed to be. Where do I start with this game? How about the fact you really go can anywhere you want- horizontally and vertically. How about the fact the physics in this game actually matter and you can truly manipulate and approach every situation differently because of it. How about adding voice acting and cutscenes and some of the best writing I have ever read in a video game?

    I don't know where to begin(just like the game). I have been preparing for a hardcore open world game in Hyrule for years. I knew that eventually, Nintendo would take Zelda in this direction so I needed to prepare myself. It all started with Portal 1 and 2, then Skyrim, then the Last of Us, then the Souls series and Bloodborne. Each of the game series I listed you can see influenced the final product. From the quick, challenging and fun puzzles( just like Portal) in the shrines and dungeons. The open world discovery from Skyrim, the survival aspect and utilizing all your resources like the Last of Us, and the difficult but rewarding enemy and boss encounters like the Souls series.

    It also borrows from the Ubisoft model of climbing a tower to open up a portion of the map but unlike the Ubisoft model nothing shows up on the map. You need to find and mark the locations you need to explore. I play with HUD off which helps me really learn the environment and look at the map like a true adventure. It is so refreshing to venture off into a large land mass because you see something in the horizon. I spent 4 hours last night just exploring and find new secrets that I missed in the beginning area. I am currently in the eastern part of the map and I had a feeling in my gut I needed to go back to where it all started since I had new equipment and understood the world design better. Man, I beat two Guardians, got 15 Korok seeds, finish 8 shrines and just discovered parts of the map that are wonderous.

    If you want your hand to be held and everything to be easy, this game is not for you. It is not as hard as a Dark Souls or Bloodborne but you can make it that hard if you want by venturing into areas with underpowered equipment. This game has spoiled me. I can't look or play other games now if the gameplay isn't tight and the world isn't magical. I play games to lost myself and forget about the issues of my life and the world. I don't care about graphics. I want to have fun, I want a challenge. I want to use my brain as well as my skills to get through a tough area or boss. Every time I fail, I know it is because of me. Either I am rushing, not mentality ready for the fight, or overlooking an aspect of the game.

    This game is easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Not sure of the rankings yet but I worry for Portal 2 and FF7. That's it- go out and get it. The Wii U is the only Nintendo system I never owned. The Switch is fantastic. I do recommend a pro controller. I use the pro controller for tough fights since I need the dexterity. But I play on the handheld when I just want to explore areas with enemies I know I can beat while looking for new shrines to complete. If you don't have money for a console and one of the greatest games ever just wait till the Holidays. But if you are like me and hate cookie cutter games like Ubisoft open-world games(Rayman Legends is awesome) then please go get this game. You will not regret it.    … Expand

    La historia en este videojuego es una Magnum Opus, pues si bien está basada en la misma base característica, viene a romper muchas de las convenciones y a decirnos que tal vez queramos tomárnoslo con calma y andar un rato por el bosque.

This Zelda game is amazing in how you can explore and traverse the land. You're not restricted to roads. You can literally climb over mountains. Any place you can see on the map is accessible and that still blows my mind. Cooking provides a great way to prepare for the cold environments or hot environments. It's also the only way to regain hearts. In A Link Between Worlds, you actually picked up small Hearts. I'm assuming thats how past Zelda games were as well.

    This is probably the greatest game I have played since Ocarina of Time when it comes to the sense of awe inspiring open world beauty!

From the opening scene when you run onto the cliff and survey the landscape. To meeting all the various groups throughout Hyrule. My fear going in was that this game was going to have an empty world. Boy was I wrong. I had no idea how expansive the map really is. It was a bit overwhelming at first but once you get used to the basic idea of discovering new Towers and Shrines, it becomes easier. Though those damn Guardians made it so difficult. My complaint about the game is the Yoga clan. I can't go into it more without revealing spoilers but they are annoying. Also the frame drops that occur on the Plateau and Forest regions can be pretty annoying in docked mode. Absolutely no drops in Handheld mode, which is what I primarily used. I'm sad that this game will set the bar too high for Nintendo. I doubt they can put out another title on the Switch that can be this amazing. But I'm looking forward to the new games down the road and reconnecting with more franchises that I have't played in years.… Expand

This game goes very well with the new Nintendo console but the console's limits shouldn't hold this game down. Therefore this game may very well be above 100/100.

Me and my wife are both playing the game, and we've come up with different solutions to the same puzzles. The enemies start off pretty easy but once you jump off the Plateau, you're going to have to deal with Guardians, Yiga Clan, Lizalfos, etc. The scenery in the game is amazing. 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. I also recommend that people ignore the negative troll reviews. We know that they are all fake and a result of the "console war." Just wish gamers were more mature.… Expand

It loads incredibly fast, there's no loading times between villagers or when entering houses.

    -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.

It's a beautiful game, despite low quality textures and frame rate issues. But it's running on a portable gaming tablet so these issues are permissible. It's important to consider hardware constraints when reviewing a game. I've never seen a game look this good on a hand held. The story is told in a unique way.

I did not play too many games over the last 10 years and I am definitely not into open world games, but this felt awsome. When I started the game I had some things in my mind I wanted to do. When I reached some placed it summed up to like 10 things I had in my mind. This is how open world should be. You acknowledge what is possible and do whatever you want. This game is just pure art.

    Let's come to the negativities.
    First of all, the frame rate. Most of the time it runs perfectly. At some points it had minor frame drops. I only encountered really annoying drops in the starting area and the Lost Woods. Most important for me is that they never occured at points with high need of control, like big enemy camps or boss fights.
    Second is the weapon breaking system. I understand and appreciate it, but it is really annoying that even the endgame weapons break really fast, even some of the unique ones, and -without spoiling too much- it takes some work to replace them.
    Third is the lack of dungeons. There are no real dungeons in this game as those you are used to playing Zelda. But to be fair this is no real issue. It is something you might expect in a Zelda game, but it is nothing to objectively criticize a standalone game. The game itself is complete and does not lack gameplay at any time.

    Objectively only having those 2 minor critique points and having so much fun with this game and being overwhelmed by some of the innovation it has to offer, I have to call it a masterpiece and give it -and it is a struggle for me to do so- a perfect score of 10.

    And if you are still thinking about whether you should buy this game or not, you should definitely check out those mixed reviews it got. But I can assure you that every review with a rating of lower than 6 is total nonsense and can definitely be ignored by you.    … Expand

Nintendo was really able to make the game beautiful despite using low quality textures. As gamers, we are blessed to have so many great titles Between Zelda, Nioh, Horizon, and Nier, I've been keeping myself quite busy :)… Expand

    This was the first Zelda game that I have ever played but I can surely say that this is my favorite game I have played in my life. The game itself has a really good story and looks beautiful even tho it doesnät run in 1080p. Everyone who likes open world games or story games should definitely get this game.

    Even though the game suffers from some frame rate issues which does bother me to some degree, the game as a whole is just pure fun. It might not have the best story ever, nor the best looking graphics out there, but the overall experience deserves a perfect score in my opinion. Definitely a must play!

    I just completed the Ruta temple and can safely say that this is one of the best games that I've ever played. I feel like I still have so much to do in the game. Feeling a bit overwhelmed but loving every second of it. I really like that there is a variety of arrows in the game. I was able to beat the boss of Ruta by using Lightening arrows and utilizing Cryosis. Seriously, there are so many different ways to play this game. Please try it out. You won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Definitely wouldn't have bought the Switch had it not been for this game. Can't say I'm a big fan of the console but the new Zelda is phenomenal. It presents a difficulty level that hasn't been seen in Zelda in years. You definitely can't call Zelda a kids game anymore. The game doesn't hold your hand and it makes it you navigate the kingdom by yourself. No objectives. No route. It's up toDefinitely wouldn't have bought the Switch had it not been for this game.

The characters are lovable and quirky. It's still feels like classic Nintendo in many ways. But it finally fixed many issues that made the last few Zeldas seem like repeats of the classic formula.… 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]
