El mecanismo de las mini mazmorras es bastante original para conseguir resistencia y corazones me sorprendió bastante este viniendo de la saga Zelda la cual en su mayoría se obtiene en mazmorras obligatorias y exploración del mapa profundamente en bastante inmersivo en ese aspecto y nada mas que decir el juego tiene su 10/10 muy merecido y sinceramente un juego hecho con amor y dedicación porque desarrollar un mundo así de vivo debe llevar un trabajo muy fuerte y constante.… Expand

    It was stated by devellopers that the design philosophy here was to make everything accessible from the start. Well, I think this is an awful philosophy, considering that "go anywhere you want from the plateau on" really means "do basically the same things you've already done over and over again because there is no progression".
    The cooking system is shallow and repetitive, not to mention it can be used to break the game because you can just stack food indefinitely.
    Every progression mechanic in the game is basically an RPG-lite mechanic that boils down to "kill x to upgrade x's stats", or "find same weapon with better stats", with stats only referring to durability and damage output.

    The combat is ok, but for most encounters, spamming the attack button will suffice, and you can avoid nearly all ennemies quite easily. That would be ok if the loot you get from ennemies would be worthwhile, or fighting ennemies would grant you access to more unique areas, but unfortunately it's pretty much a self-contained loop, making it better to disengage from combat most of the time.
    Environmental interaction, for being praised so much, is NOT significant most of the time, fire and ice suck, electricity is only good in that it's an OP mechanic that can be used anywhere (only that in water it's completely busted). Also the game severely lacks ennemy variety. In the overworld, you'll encounter about 4 ennemies with re-skins (really not counting the blobs and the bats, because those are just pathetic), and 3 bosses.

    Now, exploring the world itself feels satisfying enough. The traversal mechanics are good. The shrine quests specifically are good, but they are too few and far between to completely redeem the game's open world. The 4 basic dungeons are also good, as is the DLC dungeon, and trials of the sword is also pretty fleshed out.
    Those are all good things that taken together make the game stand a little bit above most open-worlds, but it just doesn't wash away the fact that you are playing a tech-demo that overstays its welcome.    … Expand

    A ver, como videojuego es muy bueno y largo. Pero cuando uno califica un juego es en su totalidad, y la verdad hay cosas que no puedes dejar pasar por alto:

Ni hablar de los bajones por debajo de los 20fps    A ver, como videojuego es muy bueno y largo.

    - Port mediocre: Se supone que este era el gran plato fuerte del inicio de Switch. Es un juego que fue trabajado para Wii U pero la Switch ni siquiera puede mantener 30fps estables... Ni hablar de los bajones por debajo de los 20fps cuando estamos en los bosques o hierba alta.
    - El Joy-Con drifting es donde más molesta es en este juego. Simplemente insoportable. Este juego drena la batería como una sanguijuela. No llego ni a las 3 horas con este juego.
    Ahora lo que más critico del juego, quizá, es la ausencia de grandes desafíos y de una historia bien construida. La verdad es que en ambos puntos es donde más flojea el juego. Se nota la falta de mazmorras y lo de los Santuarios, lugares totalmente vacíos, no representan desafíos memorables ni de gran altura. La historia está ahí, más como excusa que como otra cosa, no tiene mucho peso para decir verdad. Y salvo por uno o dos personajes (Sidon y Mipha) se siente mucho hueco aquí.

    La banda sonora está bien, y en cuanto a físicas y mundo el juego sobresale mucho. Pero siento que al juego le faltó algo más desafíos, los Centauros los sentí más desafiantes que el jefe final que fue un chiste para ser sincero. Pero en ningún momento sentí que este fuera más sobresaliente que otros juegos como Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask y, muchísimo menos, Ocarina of Time.
    El juego está bien, lo empaña bastante el port, y diría incluso que tuve mejor experiencia jugándolo en emulador. Pero así y todo no es un juego que vuelva a tocar, ni un juego que me ha encantado como tal. Sólo espero que Breath of the Wild 2 lo repiense y vuelvan las mazmorras y los desafíos.

    I finally picked up a switch after all these years and picked up BOTW, MarioKart, and Smash Brothers. The 3 quintessential Nintendo games.

The 3 quintessential Nintendo games. Since then I've barely touched Mariokart and Smash Brothers because I've been absolutely hooked on Zelda. This is definitely the best Zelda game I've played since the Snes days. I would say there are only 2 negatives for me with this game, which are actually design decisions and not actual flaws:

    first, the weapons simply break too fast. This is alleviated immensely with extra slots when you progress, but it's still very annoying when you run out of weapons and shields against a tough enemy. I always found myself hoarding good weapons for those surprise encounters against a Lynel or boss fights. I think a better system would have been to let us repair those weapons with stuff we find in the world, same as upgrading armor. Also, why doesn't the armor break? It doesn't make sense. But say you have a wodden Boko bow, you should be able to repair it using wood and Boko parts. Simple.

    Ok Second, I love climbing around and I have no problem with the stamina wheel. But good God man to whoever decided that you can't climb during rain. I can't count the times I had a long tough climb, chugging elixirs all the way, getting right to the end and failing cuz it started to rain. LOL. This freaking happened all the time to me and I would go ape **** Seriously.

    So that's it. The rest of the game is flawless. It sucks you in so bad you will not be able to put it down. It's the best open world game ever made. There is literally something to find in every corner of the world, which is huge. There are so many side quests and little missions to complete, I honestly don't know if I'll ever finish 100%. You can have a goal when you start playing only to get side tracked exploring some interesting areas and find hours have gone by.

    Plus, this is one of the only games where the rules of the world totally make sense, so if you just think logically and try something it probably will work. Like the first time I realized that metal chest at the bottom of a river can simply be picked up with the magnet power. LOL, I spent at least half an hour trying to get that chest, and then it just dawned on me. I just got the magnet power right before this and sure enough I was able to latch on to the chest and pull it out of the water. LOL, I felt so dumb. That's just one example though. This game's puzzles are completely logical and it does not hold your hand, but let's you just work things out. I find that respect for the gamer very gratifying.

    Kudos to Nintendo for making this masterpiece. It's amazing and almost perfect. Best game i've played in a very long time. I really hope Nintendo puts out the sequel soon and also really want a new Metroid adventure. Nintendo = Quality over Quantity always.    … Expand

This game is my least favorite zelda game by far. This game could have been so much more. It feels like they made a game, and just slapped "zelda" on it, without including what made LoZ great. Dungeons: There aren't any. The divine beasts just feel like shrines that are in a machine instead of an underground stone structure. The shrines/beasts themselves are very linear, but too small to make up for it. A lot of previous LoZ dungeons were linear, but you would get a cool item and have secrets to find. the shrines and korok seeds are the "rewards." There is no sense of accomplishment. Many people dislike the durability, but I actually find that to be one of the good things about the game. However, where are the tools and various items you aquire? Instead they give you a few tools within the first 20 minutes. IMHO, if I can fight the final boss and win within the first 2 hours of playing a game, that is a waste of my money. There is no feeling that link is becoming a better hero throughout the game. The only LoZ that had a worse story was link's crossbow training (lol). The characters had no depth to them, and it felt like the towns were there just for you to look at while walking up to the town leader to progress. This game focused everything on looks, and somehow ended up with an empty world still, and looks don't equate to gaming experience (just play OoT. Very angular graphics, phenomenal gameplay.) A lot of people praise the combat, but this game's combat is trash compared to TP and WW. The combat could be a lot better however with one thing: BUTTON MAPPING. They changed controls for SS, but that was for the wii, makes sense to be different. They then switched their controllers to have the same button placement as before, and then switched the controls. Why can't i swing my weapon with B? They said, let's make a LoZ game that's like an elder scrolls game, but we'll make the controls different than either of those. The controls are so unintuitive, it ruins the game. after beating the game to 100% twice (all shrines and all seeds, which is a waste of time), I still find myself pressing the wrong buttons constantly. I'm also very used to FromSoftware games as well, so It isn't a muscle memory thing. The button that feels like it should do something, it does something completely different. This could have been completely avoided if we could change the controls (you can switch jump to B and run to X,, but I don't want run to be x or b, or for jump to be x or b, so). It's a zelda game. Attack is B, period. with how many times I want to run and then jump, why can't the buttons be next to each other? The bosses suck. reskins of the same MF. And then, somehow fighting the final boss at full health right after leaving the plateau is easier than the other 4 you fight. If you say tools, bosses and dungeons aren't the reason you play Zelda, then you're an idiot and should play different games that are made for running around with no goal. They threw out everything that made me love zelda. I will check as much gameplay as possible before buying another zelda game (the reviews are clearly not reliable) because if the new zelda games are going to be more like this than previous titles, then I will have to say goodbye to playing zelda.… Expand

In my opinion the game lacks a bit of graphical detail, the world feels vast but very empty. The beasts and temples are cleverly designed but repetitive nontheless which didnt carry my motivation towards the whole main story line. And although I understand that durability on items can help to uncover new weapons you would usually never use I feel this is not the best way to do it. Having unique weapons destroyed in a few hits feels unbalanced and I like having bonds to my equipment.

    The boss monsters feel very ambivalent too. Although they are wholeheartedly designed the attack patterns are weak and very unspectacular. The radar is a nice addition but sometimes confused me more than it helped. I agree with opinions that you always uncover something new when you let your eyes strive through the world. This is something they designed very well and I appreciated that. It felt a little bit awkward that the game got so much praise when some of its basics use the very same game loop then your very hated Ubisoft open world game loop, best example are the towers to reveal the local area. They put some mechanical candy onto each tower but still that felt like a huge wtf-moment for me.

    The weather and day/night-system was impressive to me. I hated that I had to cope with it but it felt like a cool addition and brought also some mechnical detail into the game. Overall the game is nice, it felt a little bit unnecessary long at times and the basic loops have the same negative impact then any other open world game to me. Despite what many people think (or maybe just tell themselves) I personally really hope that some day we get a more realistic Zelda on a game engine like UE5. Many people will hate me for this comment but I m sure the game will be even greater with a little bit more detail because the passion of the developers is obviously great but they are hindered by what the console can provide.    … Expand

Finding all the special horses and exploring the map is also very fun even though it's probably considered an optional aspect of the game.

    This game is nearly perfect:
    - Beautiful open world.
    - Great controls.
    - More than 200 hrs of gameplay.
    - The story is good, not like the previous Zelda games but is fine.
    - The bosses are a bit dissapointing, I hope better ones in the sequel.
    I fell in love with this game.

The story isn’t the best, but the lore is interesting and can’t wait to see it fleshed out in the upcoming prequel and sequel. It’s just fun to mess around in and the puzzles are absolutely amazing. Definitely in my personal top 5 games of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game experience I have ever had in my life. Breath of the Wild is something else; way different from the other series. I got this game around 10 months ago, and I have already beat the game twice. This game definitely contains things from the other Zelda games, but one thing it has in it that makes it so good is... open world.

    Now when you look at any other Zelda game, none of them are really open world and let you get to do whatever you want to. This however, is different. The open world in this game makes it SO GOOD. The map is huge; with plenty to explore and go collect all of the shrines.

    Now the story is very good. From starting out at the plateau, to beating Ganon, there is a story to lead you on your way and do whatever you want between. Heck, you can go strait to Ganon if you want. There is lots of quests and little cutscenes through the game.

    My favorite part were all of the villages. I loved at first exploring and finding the many villages and talking to the NPC's. I loved to do all of the side quests and the Divine Beasts. We also can't forget about the DLC.

    Master Mode is great. It gives a nice extra challenge that will have you a hard time. No more Red Bokoblins or anything. Monsters and bosses also regenerate health, and that makes it even more hard.

    The Champion's Ballad is also great. Finding and rebeating all of the bosses was really fun to do. You get to do mini-challenges on your way to fighting all the Blights' again. Then, you get faster regens on the powers which is nice. The One-Hit-Obliterator was also a blast. It was definitely a challenge, but it was awesome. Also the 5th Divine Beast was cool. Monk Maz Koshia was probably the hardest boss at the end. But at least you get a cool bike after you finish him.

    The Master Trials are really fun. The around 50 stages are very fun and also challenging to complete. Each stage gets harder and you have to use only the resources around you.

    There is so much more to this game than what I said in this simple review. Definitely worth the money and can't wait for the sequel.    … Expand

    What a way to be introduced to the series.

    The good:
    - beautiful presentation
    - amazing sense of freedom
    - the physics make interacting with the world so much fun
    - the world is varied and full of secrets
    - shrines offer easy but enjoyable puzzles

    The bad:
    - despite being fun the combat is a bit rough around the edges
    - boss fights were underwhelming
    - forgettable story

    The breakable weapon system is really annoying, it's unacceptable, totally unrealistic. I just wanted to stop playing this game because of this "bug".

    After ending the game I have to say, the history is really bad too, Nintendo is living from the past.

The story really left me wanting more. Characters often speak of the epic battle that took down Hyrule's strongest warriors 100 years ago, but you never get to see any of the battle. It really was a missed opportunity, but I'm happy to see Nintendo is going all in after the new Hyrule Warriors announcement. Items breaking too quickly sucks, especially because stasis uses weapon durability which makes me hate having to use it for shrines. The frame rate does drop during larger battles and bomb arrows in particular caused turbulence. Although it's definitely noticeable it isn't game breaking and after all you are playing a console quality game on handheld so I let it slide. My final criticism is the voice acting. I felt like it feels extremely out of place. Nintendo should have either left voice acting out of the game or made every word voice acted. Instead they decided to just give the story cut scenes voice acting. It feels very out of place and breaks immersion completely.

    However, those are minor details when you just look at how incredibly fun and exciting this game really is. The combat is wonderful, there is an almost endless amount of things to do, and the art style and music are wonderful. The combat is very fun. I really liked how there aren't any big gimmicks. You don't focus on stealth or have any major special abilities, you kind of just get to whack guys with swords and I really liked it. The amount of content in this game is incredible. There are so many side quests, shrines, and koroks you could easily play this for hundreds of hours. I also really liked the art style. It has this really pretty cell shaded look with bright colors that pop. The animations and character models are all on point too. I know that there are some criticisms when it comes to the music that I can understand, but I personally feel like it fits the game perfectly.

    What this game does so perfectly though is exploration and freedom of choice. There are very few things that this game requires you to do. You just have to beat the tutorial and beat Gannon. Sure there are the divine beasts that are the intended way to play the game, but you don't need to if you don't want to. You get to do what you want to do. And I think that that's what makes this game so good. You want to go over to that shrine over there? Do it or don't. I'm not your mom, I don't care. You want to talk to that guy and help him? Okay go ahead, or don't. You want to explore those mountains? Sure, go ahead. You get to do what you want, when you want, and how you want. And that's why this game is so special, it is pure freedom and I love it.

    This game is a must play by my standards. 10/10    … Expand

Exploration was put on the forefront and I spent countless hours (well 415+ according to my profile) running around and just enjoying the sights and sounds. Sound design is immaculate and I found this game just as much an aural delight as it was a visual one. Replay value is amazing as you can try different tactics and challenge yourself in a variety of ways. Nintendo didn't do anything ground-breaking on its own but somehow managed to take all the good things from other open world games and improve upon them immeasurably all in this one gem. This is game truly sets you free and the freedom it gives has likely ruined other games for me where I want to have the same freedom but will probably now feel very caged and restricted. Also, the music in this game was perfectly arranged and fit the nature and style to a tee. This is as good as it gets.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ... I wanted to play this game so much when it first came out . Got my hands on Switch and the first game I bought was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . . . and I am disappointed . . . In so many aspects .

    The game tells you from the very start that you are a special warrior of legends and then immediately treats you like a courier boy with endless fetch quests and go here deal with this small pack of goblins ... The NPCs CONSTANTLY reminding you that you were asleep for 100 years and that they have been waiting for you this whole time , doing what exactly ???!!! just sitting waiting ... I started to become really frustrated with the story in the third zone already .
    They tell you that there are four great heroes who pilot the great beasts to defeat the great evil etc etc . So what were those people doing FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS ! just waiting for some small skinny boy , because he was just a bit better than you average soldier . . . seriously . . .
    Then the game tells you a story that the hero (Link) and the aspect of a goddess (Zelda) are being reborn over and over for over 10,000 years now . . . which didn't make sense to me , why put Link in a resurrection chamber and wait 100 years , when you could have let him die , he would have become reborn and learn all the skills in 15-20 years tops . No Link wakes up with no memory , no skills, no weapons , totally naked and alone and the game imposes all this responsibility on you and again tells you how awesome you are , and goes ahead to send you on a crap-ton of meaningless side quests which in reality in that setting of the world most of these quests could have been done by the NPCs themselves , but I guess they are too lazy, no wonder their world is so F-ed...
    The whole thing from the very start feels like a grind for meaningless achievements.You constantly feel agitated and unfulfilled after every play session , I just hate it .

    Some effects and physics are a nice touch , but at times too forced . The game MAKES you use its physics mechanics to beat certain story missions , it creates an illusion of choice and creativity which you do not really have in the matter .

    Breakable weapons....... I mean . . . are you f***ing kidding me ?! You get some awesome sci-fi looking ancient sword , dont get attached , because it IS going to break after 2-3 enemies . . . wtf, that is a very bad game mechanic . You get one unbreakable sword , the master sword , but it is a LONG way down the line . Should have added an upgrade system to your weapons , and forge mechanic, kind of like Dark Souls has . You would find any weapon you like and stick to it and upgrade it if you like , if not just pick another , but the game FORCES you to always switch and look for weapons , any weapon in some cases even if its just crappy spear or a stick . . . just no.

    The horse mechanic - you cannot spawn the horse from anywhere like in almost every modern game. Its just stupid . It adds even more unnecessary running around to the game that is mostly barren already .
    Horse controls are horrible , one of the worst ever .

    It seems like there is a focus to the game , but when you actually play there is none, in a bad way .
    The game tells you that your character is special , but then it constantly reminds you that he is nothing more than an errand boy chasing a star which he is never going to reach...    … Expand

You'll have hours of fun trying to find everything this game has to its shrines and other goods. The boss battles are also very well done as the provide a hard challenge and much skill to defeat. Moreover, you will be spending much time on defeating them. The only real flaws that exist in the game are that it feels too much in some areas. The world feels too open as its filled with many forests, mountains, and plateau landscapes. As beautiful as they are, I wish there were more towns or villages to explore, more to see and do, and more adventure to be had. some of the side quests also felt a bit less less saturated compared to the main story as they are not mainly combating oriented but rather more treasure hunting and "find the goodie" design. Overall however, this game is one of the best Zeldas there is. Something to definitely play and a good start to the Zelda franchise.… Expand

    A lot of 10/10 reviews here, finding no fault with the game despite the outrageously derivative content (Skyrim, Dark Souls, Just Cause, plus every flippin’ Ubisoft open world game). And more than 1,000 ridiculously low scores... this game is certainly above average in some respects.

And more than 1,000 ridiculously low scores... this game is certainly above average in some respects.

    Personally, I think the Jimquisition review hit the nail on the head with both the score and the two key aspects that spoil this latest Link adventure. It’s the ludicrously fragile weapons, and Link’s surprisingly limited stamina that instantly breaks immersion and make you feel the game doesn’t want you to enjoy your time in Hyrule too much (unless you’re a masochist of course).

    What makes this worse is this situation doesn’t improve as you progress through the game. It’s actually impossible to ever get Link’s stamina anywhere near that of an average human (in terms of running ability) and the one single unbreakable weapon you eventually get has a limited number of hits before it’s unusable for a period of time... so not a massive improvement. My personal bugbear is that I never seem to get one-handed weapons other than useless wooden clubs... I have 8 two-handed swords, that I dislike fighting with.

    And the faux-English accents of the (American) English language voice actors really are dreadful; if you are even vaguely conversant in any other language (bearing in mind you can retain English subtitles) I would urge you to switch (pun intended). I chosen Spanish (Latin American) myself, which means the game serves a second purpose as a much-needed boost to my vocabulary. Mexican Zelda (Zeldacita?) is much less of a sighing wet blanket, and you can actually hear what she’s saying above the background music, which is a bonus.

    If the game didn’t apparently hate me so much, I’d love to give it 8 or 9 out of 10. As it is.. 7 will have to do.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While Breath of the wild was one of the greatest games of 2017. Looking back 3 years later, while great, flaws have made themselves visible. For example the seemingly empty world. While the land of Hyrule was destroyed 100 years before the events of the game. Villages could've rebuilt themselves. However it is still a brilliant game , with many things to do and collect. Not to mention that you can just mess around and you might find something nice like the games 120 shrines (12 more including DLC). Or 900 korok puzzles . So if you're getting a switch now definitely pick it up.… Expand

    The freedom that the game gives you is what every open world should always offer. Best game I have ever played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. All new experience, great gaming mechanics, a change of this saga in a good direction, great and refreshing gaming experience, excellent graphics, great lore, small and easy history telling but good enough to have the player interested. The only bad thing is the DLCs expansions not big enough to be separated in 2. Recommended to get it before start the game.… Expand

    Breathe of the Wild is hand downs was one of the best gaming experience of my life. i've always loved the Legend of Zelda. I am always trying to playing a new game series to try and get the same feeling i got from playing wind waker for the first time. I never thought them changing the zelda formula would work and blow my mind it was like playing the legend of zelda for the first time again

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazing. It has an amazing story and it's different from other Zelda Games (in a good way). The only thing that made me really dissappointed is that the endboss was too easy and you can't explore Hyrule/Hyrule Castle after you've beaten the game without having peace.… Expand

    Um dos melhores jogos! Trilha sonora e gameplay incrível. A única coisa que fez falta foram side quests mais memoráveis.

    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]
