    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its been a while since Ive had this much fun in a video game. In a modern age where everything on my PS4 felt and played the same, with little to 0 interaction with the world or thought behind its gameplay mechanics, Nintendo, once again, has proven that they ARE the greatest gaming developpers. I was calling it before, and still hold on to my first statement that this game is truly the GGOAT­. 50 hrs in, still finding interactions with the world/objects/enemies that leaves me in awe and speechless, add to that the well crafted world, clever puzzles and collectibles and all the small variances in gameplay you can get in 1 single game and youve got the best gaming experience on the market right now. This game is for true gamers, not the type of sc-u-bs who will bring down a game for its resolution or graphics (pathetic truly) but for those who actually grew up playing good ol' video games for the amazing gameplay. I Know I might sound like Im repeating myself alot, but Nintendo has always been gameplay/music/immersion first, story elements second BUT without neglecting the latter. A MUST have for those who enjoy gaming as much as I do.… Expand

    Fantastic, I've been having a great time with it! The graphics are beautiful, the world is huge, and it feels like as though everything in the game was extremely well thought out. I'm 50 hours in and not even close to being done.

    Breath of the Wild is the fullest, biggest, most interesting Zelda game to date. It has an amazing sense of scale and excitement. Its art style fits the open world perfectly, and the Zelda universe. If you haven't played it yet, it is a must own.

    This game is one of the best Zelda titles you can get! The Wii U version is amazing too. (Most low reviews are idiots trying to low score) You should definitely try to pick up this game on either the Wii U or the Nintendo Switch. If you have a Nintendo Switch but don't have this game you are missing so much!

    One of the better games in the series. Much better than Skyward Sword. Huge, vast open world. Bigger than anything Nintendo has done before. Excellent combat. Decent story. Ignore the trolls. They're bitter that this outscored Horizon by a lot. At least Nintendo fans aren't petty enough to troll the Horizon page.

    This game is worth buying the Switch. I would have bought the switch just to play this game. It is that good. It is the best game I have played. Great music, beautiful and magical graphics, Anyone who is hating just wants to see Nintendo fail.

    This game manages to surpass other openworld giants like Skyrim and Witcher 3 in terms of gameplay
    and expertly crafted gameplay mechanics and storyline it has although not mastered the magic of ocarina of time but definetly comes close.

    I played every genre and almost all important games. I play mostely on PC but I do like some games on console more.

    Cons:
    - The music really fits good but im more of a fan of more melody in my music, like the older LoZ games.
    - I wish there was a post Ganon game or some kind of NewGamePlus. Im still okay the way it is.
    - the 30fps thing... but I understand its on such a small hardware so I totally agree with it.

    Pros:
    Well well well, there is so much to say here:
    - The great plateau is a great way to prepare the player for the open world
    - The game is polished to oblivion, Its incredible how much detail went into the game
    - The weapon system ist fast, dynamic and intuitive
    - All shiekah modules are used throughout the game for all bosses/shrines/dungeons and fighting
    - Looting feels very satisfying
    - The artdesign is the best so far, they went the middle way between Twinlight Princess and Windwaker
    - charakters, sound, enemies, landscape, bosses are all beautiful designed and animated
    - the controlls feels a bit wonky at the beginning since Zelda fans are different play style, but after some hours im totally okay with it. I love it the way it is.

But with a twist. It will complete start a new beginning in the Zelda era. It will be like the old Zelda games (a Link to the past) where you can completely explore the whole world on your own. But now with new features and a complete open world and the main thing was, it was 3D. The mission of the game was to rethink the conventions of Zelda. After that a year long we heard nothing. At E3 2014 Eiji Aonuma showed us a little cinematic that gave us a glimpse of the new Zelda game. At some time Zelda should come 2015. However we now know that, that wasn't the case. They showed us a gameplay of the game at the game awards 2014 and it was amazing. It was such a little glimpse but everyone was pumped for the game. Later on they said they will release the game 2016 what also wasn't the case because we saw a release list of the games of 2016 and Zelda was listed for 2017. E3 2016 we saw the first Trailer showing us the game and it was amazing... the feeling this trailer gave me is undescribeable. At an event of the E3 you could also play the game. Everyone said they loved what they have played. But there were framerate drops but that isn't the big case in this review. Now 2017 they showed us the new nintendo console in detail and they also made the announcement that the console and the game would release at the 3rd March 2017. Now the day has come.... 03.03.2017 was the date and it happened....the game was finally released. And it was unbelieveable to see how good it sold. Me as an Zelda fan of the first hour was going crazy because there was no Switch or Zelda available at my local stores. But then at the 7th i finally got it and since then i am playing Zelda.... Wake up Link. You get out of the first room in to the big wild. You can see everything in your view range... and the view range is REAAAALLLY BIG. The Art-Style is beautiful, the Graphics beautiful, the Character Design is beautiful, the variety of Weapons/Armors/Bows is unbelieveably big and the Story is as beautiful as it could ever be. Guys i need to end it here.... not because i lost joy of writing this Review..... No. I just want to go back to my Switch and play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.… Expand

    An amazing experience coming from the good guys at Nintendo, yet another great notch on the Zelda franchise's belt, while at first I wasn't sure if I should get their new console just for this game ultimately I decided to give the switch time to cook, but even so, I could not stop myself from getting the game for the Wii U
    -after all, how could I?, when all my friends kept raving about    An amazing experience coming from the good guys at Nintendo, yet another great notch on the Zelda franchise's belt, while at first I wasn't sure if I should get their new console just for this game ultimately I decided to give the switch time to cook, but even so, I could not stop myself from getting the game for the Wii U
    -after all, how could I?, when all my friends kept raving about how great the game was day in and day out, so I bought it thinking I had to see this for myself.

    And what i found was that they were right for once, the world was vast and open, and while having simpler esthetics when compared to other great looking, similar games like Horizon zero dawn, which I also played recently, it doesn't distracts but adds to the experience with a very vibrant colorful pallet no matter where you go.

    The story is rich and interesting as you go around the land with no memories trying to piece things together from what you hear from all the interesting NPCs that populate the massive landscape.
    There are lots of things to see at every corner, from cooking and crafting, to gathering so many items an infinite inventory was a necessity.

    The sound design while lesser than the other Zelda games is every bit as impactful as it kicks in at just the right moments, when you actually encounter someone playing music in the middle of vasts expanses of grass to when you wonder into a lively village or town full of interesting npcs and life... meanwhile the moments of silence are also well done, as while you explore nature you are greeted with the distant chirps of birds or the low growls of enemies hiding behind some rocks, or the sound of water as it rushes past into a massive waterfall.

    but abode all the reason for my grade is that this game managed to make me feel great exploring again. the way they have made they AI for enemies and the world design with physics just makes things feel alive... like a huge sandbox for me to play and discover new things in... not since my time with Minecraft had I felt like this in a game and for that I give it my highest rating, as unlike Minecraft this game actually has a great story to boot.

    The game is amazing. Simple as that, it brings me back to it over and over and there are not many games that can do this. It is vastly unfair to give out a 0 out of 10. More people need to just play the game to completion to even understand what it has on offer for them. If you are not sure if you will like it by now, don't buy it. Here is a 10 to negate a 0.

    The brilliance of this game is that I didn't want to end it at all. And I still have to discover many shrines, secrets and mini games. Given the non linear structure the puzzles could be be and were – puzzling, as players aren't required to solve them to progress further.

    Zelda Breath of the Wild is breathtaking. People will be talking in 20 or 30 years about it as a hallmark of computer games. BotW sets the benchmark for all other future OpenWorld adventure games.    … Expand

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is nothing short of a masterpiece. Everything is clean and polished, from the weather effects actually meaning something for your playing experience, to how exploration is encouraged.

    LoZ: BotW, unlike previous Zelda titles, is an open world game. Despite the oversaturation of the genre, BotW manages to be unique and creative at how to present challenge and reward the player for accomplishing it.

    Unlike other titles, there is only 4 +1 major dungeons in the game surrounding 4 "Divine Beasts" and Hyrule Castle itself. Where it lacks in main dungeons, it makes up for in smaller "mini dungeons" called shrines. Every shrine in the game is unique and has it's own mechanic or gimmick, and has 0-3 treasures hidden to find. At the end of each shrine, you get a "Soul Orb." collecting 4 of these allows you to trade them in for a Heart Container or a Stamina Container; it is very similar in concept to Heart Pieces in previous games, but much more streamlined and interactive than previous side-quests and minigames.

    Side-quests this time around thanks to the open world-ness of the game allow them to be spread out, and can even be a reward for exploration itself. Rather than just give heart pieces or rupees, many will give you rare ingredients for cooking, directions to hidden areas with loot, or more powerful weapons than you would find in the world.

    Speaking of weapons, BotW has a weapon degradation mechanic, where most weak weapons shatter after a few blows, while more powerful and rare weapons break much less often. Most reviewers do not like the mechanic, but I personally see why they did so. It forces you to be on par or weaker than the enemies you face, and save the good weapons when you find something much more dangerous. When you have the experience and knowledge where you can find those powerful weapons, it isn't as much of a struggle to replace them.

    Having completed most of the game with only the 3 token heart containers, I can safely say: this game is HARD. Difficulty is far too difficult to talk about in depth without spoilers, but it is safe to say that the starting area itself is easy to navigate, but ramps the difficulty up and down at random with enemy placement, environmental conditions, weapon availability, and even (very easy version of) a miniboss. It keeps you on your toes and gets you ready for some of the more difficult sections. Be prepared to get stomped when you get out of there.

    The music is the perfect throwback to previous games, incorporating the best of the best songs from Wind Waker to Twilight Princess, and mixing it up enough to make it stand out in the series. From the delicate harp music intermixed with a synth, almost otherworldly melody of Zora's Domain, to the woodwinds calmly blowing away in some of the highlands, it simply cannot get any better than this.

    Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is unarguably the best game I have ever played. From the mechanics, to the environments; the side-quests, to the main quest; and everything in-between; this game is glowing with perfection. For all the stuff Nintendo has been doing lately with the community, this more than makes up for it.    … Expand

I've played a lot of games. I do not think it is unreasonable to make a statement such as "Breath of the Wild is the best game I've ever played". I would not be alone if I did. Many people have made statements such as this, and not just user reviewers, critics. It is telling to observe that actual critics have rated this game much higher than users. When this is the case, you can tell something is much better than users are saying it is. Many of the user reviewers admit in their review to not having even played the game. I would posit that, generally, critics are better equipped to assess the quality of a game than caustic, sweaty palmed children who spend all their time swearing at people over their X-box live account, while racking up head-shots. Most critics are fairly impartial and will try to give a fair, objective review. It is telling that of the nearly 100 critic reviews perhaps only 3 or 4 score it less than a 90, the vast majority are perfect 10s. The lowest scores are around 70. Three outliers scored it near that area. To score a game of this scope, this grandeur, a game with this much charm a mediocre score just seems like their may be axes to grind there.

Even when I did beat the game I came back just to beat more shrines (which are mini dungeons with puzzles) and complete any other side quests that may be out there. Most people complain the world is "barren", but I can reassure you there is plenty to explore and discover. Because I don't want to spoil the game all I will say is in the end I felt sad that the main storyline was coming to an end and I wanted more. The voice acting is splendid and made me feel attached to most of the characters like Zelda. One of the problems I didn't like about the game was the frame drops that happened every now and then (keep in mind this was on the Wii U). This thankfully doesn't take away from the experience and beauty of the world around you. With everything from the individual pieces of grass to the huge mountains in the distance you can get side tracked very easily which makes this game even better. Only focusing on the main story will get you around a 15% completion rate of the game. Besides this there is so much more to discover that I would rather you (the reader and hopefully future player) discover for yourself! This game is a masterpiece and will be remembered as one of the best Zelda games of all time.… Expand

    Many people are having mixed feelings about this games score . That being said games are all about preference and taste. I will admit that while much of the story and fantasy setting don't appeal to me it was still overall a great game. The mechanics are polished the controls are tight (horse riding aside) even the ridiculously flimsy weapon durability isn't a turn off.

(although I wouldn't complain if they patched all weapons later to be 5x more durable) At its core this game takes a lot of different systems and cobbles them together more or less successfully. So in conclusion yes some things are not to my personal taste but I have played more than 70 hours this first week and find myself still picking it up immediately after work almost subconsciously.… Expand

    Once in a while a game comes around that completley knocks you on your feet and reminds you why videogames are so great. Whats strange to me is, i would have never expected it to be a zelda game. The thought alone is bizarre , we all expect every mainline zelda game to be really good, as i did with this one. But i have to be honest, i expected it to be “just another zelda.”

    My favorite    Once in a while a game comes around that completley knocks you on your feet and reminds you why videogames are so great. Whats strange to me is, i would have never expected it to be a zelda game. The thought alone is bizarre , we all expect every mainline zelda game to be really good, as i did with this one. But i have to be honest, i expected it to be “just another zelda.”

    My favorite zelda game is the original legend of zelda for the NES. Link to the past on the SNES and Link awakening on the gameboy were amazing games, fantastic even. Ocarina of time was really on a HO Notha level. After that point, sadly, my hype for zelda started to decline. The series was stating to get comfy with its tried and true formula, as were its hardcore fans. Ive always thought zelda could be better, not that Skyward sword, Twilight princess and windwaker were bad games, just that at their core, they were still mimicking the same fomulaic approach. So why or even how would a game thats expected to be good, still blow away expectations as breath of the wild has? By breaking that mold, chewing it up, adding some acorns and mighty bannanas, throwing it in a pan over a fire, and making a monster of a game that absolutley no one expected to be this incredible.

    GRAPHICS

    The game runs fairly smooth with some slight fps drops in certain moments, never to the point where it interrupts gameplay. Despite being originally developed on the archaic and weak capability of the wiiu, Breath of the wilds graphics are absorbently stunning, every vista looks like a watercolor painting. The character models look great and feel like they fit the fantasy world perfectly. Enemies come in diffrent shapes and sizes, from small bat like keese, to hulking one eyed giant orge like beasts to even bigger enemies(wont spoil it for you) The wildlife in this game is beautiful to look at, even the smallest insect.

    GAMEPLAY

    Running, jumping, fighting,climbing in Breath of the wild is silky smooth, there is actually so many things and so many controls for link to learn that you might find yourself pressing the wrong button at times, so it does have somewhat of a learning curve, but never to the point where i got annoyed. Link can sprint or climb using his upgradable stamina bar, a feature new to the series. Every weapon that link collects attacks diffrently, and there all fun to use, some more than others (im looking at you boomerang.) You can make food and potions to help you on your quest, this part is actually a lot of fun, as you’ll want to collect as many ingredients: trees,plants,fruits, enemy drops(i mean the list goes on and on.) The abilities that you receive early in the game are also a blast to use, especially paired with the incredible physics engine of this game. its unlike anything you’ve ever played, it really is.

    SOUND

    Music in this game is also unlike any other zelda game, where other zelda titles, there was always an overworld theme blasting, marching towards adventure no matter what you were doing. This game makes you really feel your surroundings with its soundtrack, it lets the sounds of nature swoop in and take over at times, this mixed with the incredible

    .
    scenery make for an audiovisual experience thats extremely satisfying. There are excellent tracks in this game, from the celtic sounding theme of hateno village to the jazzy sounds of the goron/valcano theme. There is also remade editions of old favorites. Overall there’s never been a zelda soundtrack with more emotion than in this game.

    STORY

    The legend of zelda has never been known for its story elements, that being said it has a decent tale told in a very intresting way. Ive been playing about 70 hours, and honestly have not focused too much on reaching the main story plot, that being said from what ive seen, its definitley a step up from previous iterations.

    CONCLUSION

    Did i think nintendo had it in them to make a game like this? Yes, did i expect it with breath of the wild? NO, but im sure glad they did. As many positive things i have to say about this game, i cant help to assert that you have to play this game to really understand and appreciate it. No review can really do it justice, and with that being said, i give this game a 10/10.

    The good: True open word gameplay that gives you a sense of freedom

    The bad: slight fps drops in high activity areas

Simply running around this vibrant and beautiful world is a pleasure from start to finish. I never really felt a need to progress the story or get to the next 'checkpoint'. It's a wild world and it begs you to uncover its secrets. What's lying in wait in that next canyon? I wonder if I can glide all the way across and still be able to climb that cliff on the other side? This is what makes the game so special. There is such an attention to detail and physics in this game that it is truly mind-boggling. If you think you can do it, chances are that you can. The sense of freedom is unrivaled in any game that came before it. It's all in the title of the game, Breath of the Wild. Another masterpiece from Nintendo that will endure for generations as one of the most beloved titles in the company's history.

I didn't have an issue with the slow intro to past Zelda games. Once you meet Impa, you begin to piece together what this game is about. There are 4 behemoths that you must take back from Ganon. Over a hundred shrines scattered throughout the land that provide classic Zelda puzzles. A ton of side quests that start off silly but get really cool as you progress through the game.

    Uno puede empezar elogiando o criticando, pero es necesario aclarar que da igual cuantas reviews leas o cuantos gameplays veas; nunca será suficiente para juzgar este juego si no lo has jugado y si no le has dedicado suficiente tiempo. Podrías pensar cuando te encuentras ante la pantalla que esto no es más que palabrería; pero si comenzamos a primar el juzgar un juego por el jugarlo se nosUno puede empezar elogiando o criticando, pero es necesario aclarar que da igual cuantas reviews leas o cuantos gameplays veas; nunca será suficiente para juzgar este juego si no lo has jugado y si no le has dedicado suficiente tiempo. Podrías pensar cuando te encuentras ante la pantalla que esto no es más que palabrería; pero si comenzamos a primar el juzgar un juego por el jugarlo se nos irá de las manos todo esto.

    Ahora sí, este Zelda Breath of the Wild es un juego mayúsculo, y sí, tiene sus cosillas, pero cuando alguien lo juega todo eso quedará en segundo plano; es absorción y magia, todo bien cohesionado para disfrutarlo en formato portátil o en la TV. Cuando comienzas, te encuentras solo, ante un mundo del que no tienes nada más que lo que alcanza tu vista (hasta que obviamente encontremos el modo de ir rellenando el mapa) y esto liga muy bien con lo que siempre ha sido Link, un héroe callado... Eso es, toda esa falta de información y comunicación inicial nos lleva a sentir que a cada paso nos podemos sorprender.

    Y realmente, este mundo sorprende; en cada rincón hay algo escondido; a cada situación podemos decidir cómo resolverla; podemos decidir cuando seguir la historia y cuando acabarla (como si quieres completarla en una hora aunque sea un arduo desafío). Aunque personalmente, recomiendo sacarle el máximo partido a este juego, exprimirlo, recorrer cada punto, llegar a cada entresijo del mapa ya que el juego incita a ello, no solo por objetivos y recompensas, si no porque a nivel de diseño es espectacular.

    Espectacular y fantástico, eso es lo que se puede decir; si es cierto que aunque pecan ciertas texturas y la potencia de Switch no esté al nivel de sus compañeras en el mercado en este momento, todo se ha mimado tanto a nivel de diseño que es mágico; pocos juegos pueden asegurarse el lucir bien en los años venideros; sí, envejecerá genial. En resumidas cuentas, si te gusta un juego literalmente bonito, aquí lo tienes, y con tintes de Ghibli, una maravilla.

    Pero... ¿sólo me ofrece una experiencia bonita? No, jugablemente es una maravilla, muchos después de ver vídeos pueden pensar que estamos ante una mecánica de Climbing Simulator y no, yo al principio era un poco escéptico respecto al Spider-Link pero luego está todo tan medido en cuanto a la resistencia de Link a escalar, el como se premia el hacerlo o incluso la posibilidad que da para localizar ciertas cosas pues es algo muy enriquecedor. Por otro lado, el sistema de progresión en cuanto a dificultad depende únicamente de nosotros mismos (solo jugando se puede comprender, pero básicamente es fundamentarlo en "Si vas al grano será más difícil"). Además, si tenemos en cuenta que las armas tienen durabilidad limitada (y muchas de existencias limitada) lo que da un toque muy bueno a al gestión de recursos, aunque quizás se podría haber ajustado mejor la durabilidad de cada arma. Y finalmente en el apartado jugable, destacamos el combate el cual requiere de buen timing si queremos salir airosos de la mayoría de combates.

    No voy a comentar el apartado de banda sonora ya que, como es de costumbre en la saga, es de 10 simplemente.

    Y quiero darle una mención especial a los puzzles, algo que aunque cueste creer, en un sandbox ha cuadrado a la perfección, dejando clara la separación entre ellos; que viene a ser cada templo.

    Finalmente, la narrativa es única en la saga, por primera vez doblada a cada idioma; que se nos presenta, además de los apartados de la historia principal, en forma de fragmentos de recuerdo, muchos de ellos que llegan a tocar la fibra sensible del jugador y que nos hace encariñarnos con más de un personaje. Es lo que venimos acostumbrando en Zelda junto a un plus de sentimentalismo. Y no solo eso, si no que además estos recuerdos podemos decidir si obtenerlos o no, midiendo así también al gusto del jugador la duración de la historia en sí.

    En resumen, estamos ante un acontecimiento histórico; una maravilla; no exhento de errores pero tan lleno de virtudes que estos quedarán eclipsados. Y es que un 10 no implica la perfección, si no el ser un referente en el género y en la época. Así, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, es un juego para disfrutar, sentir, un juego para sentarse ante la pantalla (o sentarse en el bus mientras vamos al trabajo mismamente) y quedarse inmerso ante él; un juego que cumple perfectamente con lo que debe ser un juego y de lo que muchos parecen olvidarse a veces buscando potencia, con este Zelda te diviertes, y eso es lo único que importa.    … Expand

    It's amazing how these fanboys come just to zero vote a game they don't even play, the BoTW user score will remain as a reminder of how much damage Sony has caused with his market strategies. This game is awesome in every way there is. So many things to do.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an absolute masterpiece and classic for years to come. The open world provides a breakaway from the Zelda formula while maintaining that Zelda magic.

    If you're reading this, never mind the haters who gave this negative reviews on purpose to lower the overall score - most haven't even played the game at all.

    Play it. It's an absolute must have.

    Breath of the Wild is an amazing game and the best I've played since Ocarina of Time. While I wouldn't say it's surpassed it's predecessor, that doesn't prevent it from being close.

While I wouldn't say it's surpassed it's predecessor, that doesn't prevent it from being close. In fact, if they'd sorted out my one problem with this game, I would honestly say it's just as good if not better than Ocarina. What Breath of the Wild does so well includes; the new combat style that troduces unique new features that the series has never seen, i.e, flurry rushing, the difficulty creates a real sense of urgency, particularly in losing battles (which you will be seeing a lot of, by the way), the artstyle really engages the player to explore the beautiful landscapes of Hyrule, the dungeons are short yet still creative, the shrines go way out of their way to reward you with only the best of trinkets in the kingdom, the story's lacking in some departments but heart-wrenching all the same, the music could've been better but seeing as they were going for an ambient-style game, I can't complain, and best of all, there is so much to do. Hyrule is teeming with detail, in animals, in your surroundings, in NPCs, literally anywhere you look you will see exactly why this game has had numerous delays over the last two years. The physics engine is genius, and the controls may be alien at first, but you settle in quicker than you think.
    Onto the list of flaws. As I said before, Ocarina of Time is the most flawless game ever created, and while Breath of the Wild may be amazing, it's not perfect. The frame-rate definitely has issues, the worst I had were in areas such as Death Mountain where so much was going on at once that the game actually froze for a few seconds before picking back up. I never really minded this, as I haven't ever been too big on graphics in the past, but if you are, then bare that in mind as you play. Now, my one issue with this game is regarding the antagonist, Ganon. Literally NOTHING is known about him in this game, and if you're new to the series, first off, where have you been for the past thirty years, and second, you'll finish the game wondering who it was you just took down. Ganon's objectives in this game were never explained, and this really disappointed me, especially after how deep the series was getting into story during Skyward Sword.
    All in all, Breath of the Wild is a near-perfect game. It's not quite there yet, but it's closer than humanity's gotten for almost twenty years. Definitely pick it up when you get the chance because I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    Zelda Breath Of The Wild was a game I was very hyped for and thought it would be by far game of the year but after completely finishing the game and putting over 70 hours into the game I can say that i'm no more than genuinely Disappointed with this game.

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

    You can literally make an airplane raft and fly to Hyrule Castle.
    You can save people getting attacked, then start swinging at them and see them react.

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

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a Breath taking experience, from the moment you step out into the world and receive a bird's eye view of Hyrule, to the moment you step into Hyrule castle at the end to face Ganon in your Fated battle with Destiny.

This game is filled with stunning visuals, and comfortable gameplay, but what is most important is that for everything that this game has changed, it manages to keep the spirit of The Legend of Zelda alive and well. Combat is incredibly intuitive, and in order to truly master it, you are expected to learn combat patterns in a similar, but slightly less punishing manner to Dark Souls. Breath of the Wild may very well be the most difficult of the games in the series, with the fact that at any point in your playthrough, you can encounter enemies who can take your life in an instant if you're not careful or improperly prepared. There is no extended tutorial and the game doesn't hold your hand, but instead offers a very gentle push in the right direction and the option to either take it's hint or do things your own way and in your own order. The story, although a bit light in, holds a surprising amount of depth that can, on occasion, even bring you to tears. It is easy to fall in love with a vast number of the characters. The voice acting, even in English, actually adds a lot to this game as well, my only regret in that regard is that I wish they had done more voice acting for this game. I would have gladly accepted every word being voiced, including words spoken by Link, when you choose your answer to conversations with NPCs. being able to climb or glide your way anywhere in the vast open world is absolutely wonderful, and unlike the majority of Open world games, Breath of the Wild's overworld is not only massive, but full of things to do, see, and explore above and beyond anyone ever expected. The physics engine feels incredibly smooth, and everything has a sort of flow to it that just works. Some instances, such as the final dungeon, kept me at the edge of my seat in suspense and even caused me a number of small heart attacks. This game sets a new standard for Zelda as a franchise, as well as for Open World gaming as a whole. There are a few things I would like to see done differently in future titles but I am not worried as Nintendo has always done a wonderful job making each and every Zelda game it's own unique adventure, all be it that some are better than others. In any case, Breath of the wild breathes beautiful new life into The Zelda Franchise, Nintendo as a company and makes an absolutely wonderful launch title for a charming brand new Nintendo console. It is because of all of these reasons that I give Breath of the Wild a 10 out of 10.… Expand

    I've played some of their best games from the original Super Mario Bros to Super Metroid to Splatoon; and I can say for certain that they're in fine form. I've had some experience with the Legend of Zelda before, and I loved it, but this takes it to a whole other level. This is probably the most free and non-linear game of all time, or at least very close to it. Rather than make a map and graft paths and story onto it, Nintendo have made a massive map, dispersed story elements and boss fights, and let you loose. The art style is Nintendo through and through, STYLE and BEAUTY over realism: this game nails the open-air feel it set out to capture not by having ultra photo-realistic graphics that imitate the real world to the atomic level, but by conveying the wonder and beauty of the world and creatures through delicious, simple yet complex, visuals and art. The characters are hilarious and relateable, the dialogue is perfect and the voice-acted cutscenes keep the gameplay light and fun and important story moments dramatic and attention-grabbing. Speaking of fun, this is THE most fun game I've ever played. I mostly play games for challenge and story, because they don't focus on fun, only driving you insane with massive challenges and small rewards to keep you coming back. What kept me coming back to BOTW was the FUN, the immense fun. This comes from plentiful mechanics that seek to give and enhance the open feel of the game, without being too realistic and dragging you down. The openness, WOW. If you want to do something one particular crazy way, chances are, you can: there is no limit on height, you can cheat at puzzles, and go wherever you want.
    I was hesitant for a long time with scoring this, I'd had such fun, but was worried that it would dwindle and I'd just get used to it. I didn't. I entered a completely new area, extremely hostile and beautiful, full of awesome new characters that had me busting my gut with their ego and ineptitude. The game was fresh again, the variety limitless, the Zelda charm amplified by the new style and risk. I realised that this was the best and most engaging game I'd ever played, and was beyond perfect. Exploration and taking risks were hugely rewarding, and I ended up sacrificing speed and efficiency by not fast-travelling, because the world is so beautiful and exploration is a joy.

    I read the negative review and most complain about everything that makes this game great. Usually open world games lose my interest after I've played about halfway through. I can't wait to get back to this game every time I stop playing it. The world just beg to be explored, I'm interested in hearing what every NPC has to say, and I want to collect every damn thing.

    Best game I have played in years. Beautifully made, interesting quests and side quests and fully immersive. When you pick it up, you don't want to put it down.

    Haven't played a Zelda game in a while and was really hoping to finish before Mass Effect A. came out since that series is my favorite of all time. Well, I am still playing BOTW and do not want it to end, haven't played a game this good in years.

    After 3 weeks of playing, I don't stop to feel mesmerized with the beautiful landmarks, it makes me feel like a kid again, been joyful of video games as I don't feel like in a 20 or more years. Nintendo really really do it right this time, and Breath of the Wild, is one of the Must Games of this generation, as Ocarina was before.

    Spanish critic: Excelente juego, cada punto fué simplemente magnifico. Luego de finalizado pude admirar cada parte de la historia y la jugabilidad que wao, fue increible. 100% recomendado, tal vez no sea el mejor juego que haya jugado pero si el mejor Zelda. Cada detalle puesto fue simplemente perfecto, si no lo han jugado, háganlo, de verdad vale la pena.

    I had some high expectations for this game, and it exceeded all those expectations. I have already soaked over 100 hours into this game, and I am still not done yet. Not only has it become my favorite Legend of Zelda game, but one of my all time favorite games. I could play this game several times, and it would still feel fresh to me.

A near flawless mix of open-world concepts and Legend of Zelda characteristcs with a lovely art style have made a masterpiece that will be hard to forget.… Expand

    Just finished it! WOW! As someone who doesn't play Nintendo games often anymore i was happy to revisit Hyrule. Although this game is not perfect, no game ever is. It does deserve a 10. I honestly feel sorry for these fanboys who pick one company and get butt-hurt for exclusives. I get very few games for consoles this generation and now game almost exclusively on PC.

    Although I am not a fan of the weapon break mechanic, this is one of most involved and engrossing games of the franchise. I absolutely love the Amiibo features in the game, I almost feel like its cheating.

    The Map is one of the largest maps in any games I have played. Being able to go anywhere you can see, wow, just wow. Absolutely loved it.

    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]
