    I think this game is just bland and a waste of time. I enjoyed most of the other zelda games, but this one isn't my thing.

    Breath of the Wild is a wonderfully ambitious game with so much to offer, but its ambition often gets in the way of becoming a more well-made game.

It is one of the most free games out there supporting so many different playstyles and approaches, yet has baffling decisions that restrict these freedoms. It is a game that respects your time and allows you to ignore key story beats and create your own adventure, yet tries to railroad players into playing through its narrative anyway, causing the game to feel hollow for anyone expecting a game similar to previous zelda titles, as the strong linear dungeon design and memorable plots that define that game are completely absent here. It is a game that tries to present puzzles to the player through its various shrines, only to make these puzzles feel half-baked and incomplete. Breath of the Wild is a game of contradictions; a game that will likely feel middling to those wanting a more traditional Zelda experience.

    Despite these criticisms, Breath of the Wild is one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played; its weak dungeon design and unmemorable plots make it easy for a player such as myself to simply ignore them and enjoy the freedom the game provides me, the various restrictions on one's freedom such as rain allow me to find new creative ways to find my freedom anyway by using the game's incredibly strong - and at the same time horribly broken - physics, the half-baked puzzles lend themselves to being broken and ignored entirely with enough creativity, with any two trips through many shrines not being the same for me between playthroughs as I slowly learn how to abuse the game's physics more and more to reach the end of these shrines in the strangest, most satisfying ways possible, and for those seeking a more traditional Zelda experience the game still provides an abundance of sidequests that allow my friends who don't have the same outlook as I do to sink 200+ hours into this game in a single playthrough. I myself have done the same, but over multiple playthroughs as I find new ways to bend this game to my will; this game that provides a sense of freedom and satisfaction unlike any other. This isn't even getting into the game's art and music, both of which are absolutely stunning; this game is the best that the Zelda series has ever looked, and the competition for a title like that is strong.

    This does not mean that the complaints are not warranted. Those complaints are what make this game worthy of a 7, despite my glowing review. But it is because of these complaints that a simple score cannot do this game justice; it may be a horribly flawed game with issues one could talk about for hours, but it's also one of the most ambitious games I've ever played, and is my favorite game currently on either of the consoles this game was released on for that reason.    … Expand

From the start of the game you have a simple goal, defeat Ganon which is done by doing the other tasks. The shrines bring a new feeling to the Zelda franchise which while different, fits into this game perfectly. Every inch of the world has something in it whether it be a shrine, korok seed or a reference to other Zelda games. The world has an sense of mystery behind it as there are many ruins that are left unexplained. There are so many moments in this game where you'll find something new and exciting to do. Make sure you pick this one up as it is my favorite game on switch and a wonderful experience that everyone should play.… Expand

I could write about this game for decades after playing it for more than 350 hours, but i'll try to focus on the most important things it brings to the videogames industry.
    First of all, Breath of the wild has the best open world i've ever seen in my life, it's not only overwhelming... What does this Hyrule special from any other map of any other game is the level of detail and interaction you can find in practicaly everything. In addition, there's a great variety of differents eviroments and cool spots to visit and there will be always something you've missed.
    If i had to describe with one word this game, i'd use "freedom". You can get to any part of the map when you want, as you want. You feel like there are no limits.
    You'll never be bored playing Breath of the wild, you got plenty of side missions to do and around 100 short dungeons to explore. For not to mention the big amount of enemy shelters you'll have to face to steal their treasures and weapons.
    The graphics are stunning, it's incredible that such a piece of art could be played on the way... It's true that the max resolution it can get are the 900p, but believe me when i say that you don't even notice.
    Unfortunately, this game is not perfect... Now, i'll continue my review with the few negative things i found.
    It's true that it is a copletely new and fresh vision of The Legnd of Zelda, and they dis a great job. However i miss some things from the previous games like big dungeos, a better built story, and a closer look at its characters.
    What i found the most annoying part of this game is the difficulty. It is veeeery easy. After the first hours of gameplay you'll be enough equipped to get to the most parts of the map with almost no effort. The bosses seem to be a joke...
    To sum up: in spite of it's not a perfect game, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in my view the best game of this generation.    … Expand

I've attempted playing other popular open world games like Skyrim and the Witcher 3 but their complexity was a huge barrier to entry for me. I'm not saying those games are bad at all but, for a gaming caterpillar like me, it was a daunting and exhausting effort. Breath of the Wild has incredibly simple mechanics which allows noob players to really enjoy the game without thinking they are bad at the game. However, the game allows the more serious player to learn more complex mechanics like perfect dodging, parrying, and using the environment to your advantage. None of these things are necessary but as you play the game more, you are eased into these mechanics and makes learning them much more rewarding.

    The world itself is one of my most favorite aspects of the game. I'd say, at its core, this game is about curiosity and exploration. There are so many things that grab your attention as your are running, gliding, or climbing around. They all lead to some interesting and fun interactions which adds to the liveliness of the world around you. You really feel like the world is alive and independent of you. On top of this, the world design is the most beautiful and creative in any game I've ever experienced. Sometimes, I'd find myself slowly climbing to the top of a summit to be greeted with the most serene sunrise. Or I'd ride my horse around hills and just ride through a lush grassland. Pair these moments with the sparse yet beautiful piano licks and I was in another dimension. It really felt magical.

    Since I was a kid, I've always been a fan of Miyazaki films for their creative and magical worlds. I think Breath of Wild pulls a lot of inspiration from them and I can firmly say that this game really made me feel like a kid again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To begin with the game had a promising start and seemed fun but as you progress disappointing and repetitive basic combat system of block or move out the way which makes the combat very boring after a few hours. As you progress through the game you realise in such a huge and vast open world game the lack of variety of different enemy’s quickly become repetitive and predictable and overall disappointing. After about 7 hours and killing the same enemies over and over again you finally find a good weapon which is probably NEVER going to be used because of the fear after about 10 swings it’s going to shatter to pieces this is something that really upset the fact that weapons and made from glass and they cannot be repair in a world full of monsters how is it no one can repair a sword????? The Devine beats bosses are super easy and makes you wonder how did champions of massive Great War machines fall to such an easy fight??? The story is plain and predictable I don’t understand the hype behind It. A monster called gannon comes every so years a goddess always defeats him until now because she in capable of activating her powers but after the whole land has been destroyed and all the champions of the Devine beast have fallen you link before you are about to be killed the goddess Predictably gains her powers and fights gannon such a simple and boring story in my opinion. All in all the game is fun to explore and the visuals are very pleasing to the eye but the combat system, weapon life, enemy variety and story all seem very annoying and lack lustre… Expand

    una excelente apuesta de nintendo por el mundo abierto a la vez que está lleno de vida en cada rincón del mapa , un link que se transforma durante el progreso del juego con un desarrollo físico y personal en el que de la debilidad y poca tolerancia a la hostilidad, con recursos consigue ser un link fuerte y capaz de hacer frente a cualquier enemigo o reto.

    This game is something everyone must play, hands down. The music is so inspiring and never fails to suit the mood. The game is 100% what the player wants it to be. You want to grind shrines and become stronger? You can do that! You want to explore the world and make it your own, learn it like the back of your hand? You can do that too! This game is just an amazing experience. There is not one second of this game where you don't have something to do. You are constantly thinking about what is the best course of action and there isn't a "right" way of doing things, it gives you the tools and it's up to you to use them and craft your experience. I have about 500 hours in this game now and even 3 years later, 3 years and 8 play-throughs of this game i AM STILL learning more about the world it puts you in. I have rewatched the trailer about 1000 times and it makes me cry tears of joy. Nintendo has masterfully crafted this game as an ultimate tribute to everything that zelda is and more. It goes to what Zelda is at the root of itself and it's the exploration. You NEVER stop learning in this game. The environmental story telling and even just some item descriptions can just bring a moment of "OHHH!!!". Seriously everything good about open-world games and more. The combat is of course controversial but it forces you to be more sparing and more thoughtful in the way you approach a bokoblin camp or miniboss. I have never had a dull moment in this game. The soundtrack, the characters, the world, will never fail in keeping you interested. They put 110% into EVERYTHING!!! The audio, voice acting, world, shrines, koroks etc. it has all been thought of a trillion+ times. This is the best the Zelda universe has to offer, it brings in everything for this game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is my all time favorite game and I will carry the joy and emotion this game has given me for the rest of my life.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend Of Zelda Breath of the Wild is beautiful looking,beautiful sounding and beautiful experience all the way through.

    The game offers alot of freedom in ways to approach it,such as you can use stealth to approach a camp and silently pick the enemies off or go in guns blazing and attack them.
    The soundtrack is light and beautiful and is barely noticeable like a dash of whip cream on a cake,its perfectly placed and adds a nice bit of flavour to the cake that is Breath Of The Wild and sometimes when you discover something beautiful a haunting melody kicks in and amplifies the experience.

    The combat is far more innovative that the previous games you can now parry and do flurry rushes.And different enemy types for example a fire lizalfos can die to cold weapons.

    The mini dungeons however do have the same design but with a game of this scope its would be like asking for too much more,the puzzles themselves are simple enough for people and for children to play which is part of nintendos demographic.The main big puzzles (Divine Beasts) also somewhat suffer the same issue as the shrines,they look simmilar .The bosses in this game are not as exciting as previous zelda titles but they serve the purpose,with exceptions of thunderblight ganon and mini bosses like the molduga the bosses are usually shoot the eye and attack.

    In Botw you can use physics to youre advantage and you can spend time thinking of new ways to take down enemies,for example using a make shift see saw and putting a bomb on it and using something as the counterweight to launch the bomb.

    The story of Breath Of the Wild mainly come in the form of flashbacks and memories you can recover throught out the map,they tell a story of how zelda couldnt unlock her powers and felt like a disappointment to her father and the other zeldas and how she treated link coldly but then realized how much pressure he was under and her knight link became her friend (hopefully in BOTW 2 hes something more wink wink) now breath of the wild isnt all about the story and alot of people criticise it for it,while it may not live up to story in games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or God of War or last of us,The music,atmosphere,world,freedom and gameplay alone make this game orth playing and so my final score for this game comes to a

The shrine puzzles are hit/miss, some are great, some absolutely suck. None of that is very important though when compared to how much I love the gameplay, it's just so much fun to play. There's only one huge thing I HATE about the gameplay, the breakable weapons, oh do I hate that, such a terrible idea. I assume that was to incentivize moving them through the inventory and use that cool throw thing, but it ends up meaning we have fiddle with menus CONSTANTLY in battles. That sucks so much, it comes close to ruining the rest of what is perfect about this game, but not quite. Having to change a weapon/bow/shield because it broke is annoying every single time it happens, I think about how much I hate it every single time it happens. Truly one of the worst design choices I've ever seen. But the rest of the gameplay is so good that it makes up for it to the point that I still love this game so so much. I love gliding, gathering, cooking, fighting, sneaking, all that stuff. If they put all this open world stuff into a proper linear story for BOTW2 and got rid of breakable weapons it would become the best game ever made, easily. I like linear stories, I just want to choose when to progress the story and when to do side stuff. There was no need to reinvent the wheel for this lame climax moment. The Ganon fight is lame, that was a dumb thing to make the center moment. Big cutscenes suck, nt sure how that became such a popular thing in games. I play games instead of watching movie/tv because i get to control the character. Cutscenes full of expensive animation have become so common they bore me. I hunger for control, not shiny fluff. I'm on a second playthrough and will never do the endfight. It's beautifully fun to just visit the world and wander and do stuff and maybe find something new. But I sure wish I could connect to a story from time to time and friend characters that maybe come with me sometimes. All the other "main" characters do their thing and then bail, they have no depth, we aren't meant to care for them. Link feels like an empty vessel here, I don't like that, I want him to be a personality, not an emptiness to fill with my identity. He should have more story and personality. They failed hardcore on all those elements in this game but they did so well with the gameplay and world making so it's ok, but here's hoping Botw 2 changes all that.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No piece of media is perfect. This is about as close as you can get. This is the only open world game that never felt empty to me. Hyrule was already such a magical setting, and getting to explore a bigger, better version of it at your own pace in any way you like is something that must be played. Those opening moments on the great plateau are some of the most magical I’ve experienced in any game. Who would’ve thought video game tutorials could actually be really fun. The combat isn’t some revolutionary step in game design. You COULD just target enemies and strike, but it’s much more fun to experiment with the new physics. The game lets you play the way you want, and I’ve never felt this much freedom in a game. If I had to think of some gripes, it would be the post game(no dlc). There isn’t a ton to do after defeating Ganon, but that’s sort of the appeal of the game. It lets you beat the game in any way and any order you want, so, if you beat the final boss last, this makes sense. The other gripe is the voice acting. It’s not terrible, but it’s not great. However, these in no way bring the game down. Is this an open world/action/adventure masterpiece? Is it a video game masterpiece? No. It’s a masterpiece. Period. This is my favorite video game and may very well be not only my favorite, but the best piece of media I’ve ever experienced.… Expand

    Возможность готовить себе еду (и эта возможность нужна не для галочки), полнейшая свобода действий (пойти к боссу сразу же после прохождения туториала-это просто нечто), на первый взгляд простенькая, но если разобраться отменная боевая система, детально проработанный лор в игре (сюжет подаётся через воспоминания, диалоги, и окружение), и многое другое делает игру, пожалуй, одной из лучших в своем жанре.

Even the music, which I had seen as a point of contention before I got my hands on it, was great. I really enjoyed the atmosphere it created and how it was serene when needed, as well as intense at other times. The Divine Beasts and Shrines were super enjoyable, a suitable switch from the typical 8 dungeon system. The towns were warm and alive, and the peaceful areas of countryside were calm and lovely. The weapon breaking system also was fine with me, leading to a variety of weapons that I used throughout my quest. This game is just brilliant. It isn't perfect, only having a 10 point system sees the score rounded up to 10. There is significant lag and frame rate drops in certain areas such as the entry to Rito Village, and at times the textures look somewhat low quality, though the graphic style is pretty enjoyable. The Korok Seeds are also quite troubling at times, with so many in the giant map, though they are optional. But overall, this game is an absolute treat that has given more character to the Zelda cast than ever before and gave the series one of it's best ever entries.… Expand

    Combat: The combat aren't very good, because you have to prepare a lot of weapons. For the battles themselves it's quite easy, and what's even more challenging is the fight against Ganon.

    Gimmick: I think the gimmick that was presented in this game that made this game get the title of game of the year in 2017. Where in this game you have to wear armor that is devoted to cold places, and wear light clothing in the desert. Change iron-based equipment into wood during thunderstorms, because you can get struck by lightning.

    -This game is suitable for people who like to wander without direction, or like to find their own way.
    -This game is not suitable for people who prefer to know the direction of their path, and prefer games that focus on the story. (i belong to this group)

    And for those who first try this game will most likely feel at a loss. well, I played this game aimlessly for two days. Until finally I made a list of what I had to do.    … Expand

    At first it seemed very promising, and they got pretty much all of the gameplay mechanics down very well, but after several dozen hours of playing it I came away feeling like this is just good ground work laid down for an even better game in the future.

    I've heard so much about how this is the best open world game and that it fixes all of the problems that have plagued the genre for years... and I couldn't disagree more. It fell into pretty much all the same old habits. The world may be huge, but aside from the main quest locations, the rest of the world is just filled with samey, borderline copy/paste material. Again it's fine at first but it starts to feel like you're never seeing or doing anything new after a while. There are lots of enemy camps, NPC stations are almost always the same horse ranch again and again, puzzles to get collectibles like the korok seeds repeat dozens of times.

    There are certain key areas of the map with unique events, but most of these I found pretty boring if not aggravating in some way. There's that big featureless maze box in one corner of the map, the lost trial and error woods, and the Yiga Clan Lair which is a forced stealth section with instant failure if you're spotted, just to give a few examples. Most of these side places that should have been interesting didn't make me very happy.

    Another example of reused assets is the shrines. I'm actually on board with the idea of these, since the world is so big it makes sense to have a lot of smaller mini dungeons dotted around the map, but I still felt they managed to botch this to a degree. They all have the exact same big blue cube look to them no matter which region they're in, and at least a third of them are empty except for the reward, or just put you in a combat challenge with the same enemy with slight variation in what weapons it carries.

    That brings me to my next example, the enemy variety. 80% of what you fight are moblins or lizalfos with color palette swaps. You go to one side of the map, red lizards. Go to the other side, blue lizards. Even mini bosses are the same everywhere you go too, either the fat pigs, the stone golems, or the man-lions you don't ever want to fight anyway because they kill you in one hit and tank 50 million damage. Hell even the main bosses at the end of each proper dungeon just feel like a variation of the same boss. Would it have killed them to put some more variety of foes in here? The world certainly is big enough! (Past Zelda games with 1% the map size had more content, and I'm talking about unique content, not copies.)

    To add insult to injury, after completing each main dungeon, the difficulty in the world increases by populating the world, not with new enemy types, but more of the exact same ones with different colors that now take a dozen hits to kill rather than a few. They don't function any differently, or challenge you in any way, it just makes combat more tedious and eventually I started ignoring enemy encounters out in the world whenever possible.

    I don't think BOTW is a bad game, I just don't see how it's any different from the medium standard of what open world games are like, except not having quest markers. They can do better than this.    … Expand

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost “trolling” the competition with a vast map to explore, where hunting for stuff is fun and can allow for casual game play that is fun and extends the time you want to play around in the “playground” Nintendo delivers. Enemy AI and toughness scales well, with the only negative being weapons breaking easy early on, which just gets you to take a more proactive approach to using the map market features, and quick travel to shrines, after each Blood Moon to hoard up on stronger, more durable, weapons.

    I’ve put 65 hours in to the game so far and have almost 90 shrines and it is still the main game I enjoy playing to relax, over any other game released since Breath of the Wilds release.

    Breakable weapons aren't bad- they require you to think on your feet and let you make interesting plans in combat. With breakable weapons, I can light my spear on fire and throw it into an enemies camp to blow up explosives near the enemies. Letting me treat weapons as disposable led to significantly more fun combat experiences.

With breakable weapons, I can light my spear on fire and throw it into an enemies camp to blow up explosives near the enemies. Letting me treat weapons as disposable led to significantly more fun combat experiences. As some reviewers have said it may have been a good idea to give the player one final unbreakable weapon at the end of the game, but that's nowhere near a big enough problem to detract a point.

    The combat is amazing. It's not like a normal combat system. You don't just slash your way to victory- a smart player needs to use the environment. Distracting enemies with an explosion near them while you sneak up from behind, setting the grass on fire to create an updraft and then flying up to take a camp of enemies from above, and pushing enemies off cliffs with magnetic boxes were just a few of ways the physics system allows for creative ways of fighting.

    But the best moments in Breath of the Wild isn't the intense strategic combat but the moments where subtle piano queues played as the sun rose and I looked off a cliff to the beautiful scenery. It's truly the negative space in this game that makes it the masterpiece that it is.

    A good game can make it fun to do something in its world. A masterpiece is one that makes it fun to do nothing.    … Expand

    Это моя любимая игра. Не смотря на то, что в России позорно играть в игры без ультра реалистичного графона, я умудрился приобрести свитч и поиграть в ботву. В этой игре есть:
    -большой открытый мир который интересно исследовать

    I honestly didn't understand why this game had such a high rating.
    But having played myself, I was simply delighted.
    A huge world, lots of game mechanics, interface and music, an atmosphere of adventure and exploration.
    Everything, everything in this game is wonderful.

    Un mundo abierto sin pantallas de carga, dónde cada rincón es un nuevo lugar por cual conocer, esto es un obra maestra , la historia de breath of the wild, es una de las más interesantes acompañada de unas de las experiencias más gratificantes a la hora de jugar , sin duda un buen juego que te trae horas de diversión

    Zelda Botw is a unique game, with probably the best open world of all time, because of it's desing. In this game you have the maximum freedom to live YOUR OWN adventure, in the way YOU WANT.

It would be cool to se more differences in the dungeons' designs.

    LOZ: Breath if the Wild is great, but not the greatest game of all time. It sure has its flaws, like the weapons breaking too fast, way too much korok seeds and shrines (thought both optional) and it misses some key elements of the Zelda franchise, like items you can acquire through dungeons. But this doesn't mean it's a bad Zelda game (there is no bad Zelda game)

    The world is alive thanks to its environment. There is so much to explore this game will keep you entertained for at least 80 hours. I think the weapons breaking makes you feel like you're in a survival situation and it makes you think twice before spamming your attacks. In this game, the towers aren't "Ubisoft towers" each has an unique way to climb it .

    Overall, great game, but like I said, not the greatest of all time.    … Expand

    Jogo muito bom, graficamente excelente melhor de que muitos jogos atuais (vide pokemon s&s)
    O que não gostei:

    Технология: BOW не самая технологичная игра, хотя и выполнена на очень хорошем уровне. Есть малозаметные просадки FPS. Как мне показалось, игре немного не хватает сглаживания моделей.

    Артдирекшен: Самое важное в ней это артдирекшен. Мир игры превосходно стилизован, персонажы вышли на новый виток многолетнего развития, саунд сохраняет традиции серии, но привносит больше объема и    Технология: BOW не самая технологичная игра, хотя и выполнена на очень хорошем уровне.

    Zelda has been one of my favorite series so how I felt about this one hurts.

    Weapon breakage didn't make me want to use other weapons it just made me want to skip battles, not explore, they last like 3 hits, what are they made of glass? Enemy variety was terrible and comping for a series that has so many it felt like a slap to the face to just change the color of the few you have,    Zelda has been one of my favorite series so how I felt about this one hurts.

    This game is amazing, not perfect, but my god is glorius, the problem i had was with the caractes (or the lack of personality for almost everyone)
    The history (very reduce, but with so much potential)
    And the weapon break sistem, the rest, perfect

    Sin duda una de las entregas mas perfectas de la saga zelda, una historia envolvente, una música increíble, un ambiente digno de las películas de miyazaki, un sistema de combate dinámico y unas fisicas realmente geniales, una vez lo acabas el juego te invita a rejugarlo por lo que considero que tiene un 10 merecidisimo.

    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.
