    This is truly, one of the best games I have ever played. It was a blast from beginning to end. It would take forever to read this review which is why I am splitting this in to sections.

It was a blast from beginning to end. It would take forever to read this review which is why I am splitting this in to sections. SECTION 1 Story: Breath of the wilds story isn’t the greatest, but the way you encounter it makes it unique. There is an obvious beginning and end, but everything between that you haft to find. What I mean is LINK has lost his memories so if you want you can go ahead and find them all but this is optional. That is what makes the story so great. The fact that it is OPTIONELL. SECTION 2 dungeons: All though botw dungeons are similar looking they all have some really good puzzles. But they are not as great as others in the franchise but still really good. SECTION 3 BOSSES: this is the one thing I am disappointed about in botw. The bosses all look the same and are WAY too easy. Their AI was good but the bosses would have been much better and memorable if they were more difficult and had different designs’ did like ganons design but then again he was too easy to defeat. SECTION4 Exploration: Exploration in botw is extremely rewarding. There are countless things to collect and so many awesome places to find. Every time I thought "are there any new cool places left in this game „I found another awesome place. OH and there are 120 shrines to find... SECTION 5 Shrines: Shrines are very rewarding to find. They often times have great puzzles. But there are some Filler shrines and those are combat shrines. They are very lazy since there are plenty of enemies to kill in the vast world of hyrule. But for the reason that they are all so rewarding to find I loved all shrines SECTION 6 gameplay: The best gameplay in a videogame. You can literally go anywhere you want. You see that mountain over there? WELL NOT ONLY CAN YOU GO TO IT BUT YOU CAN ALSO CLIMB IT. You can climb on pretty much any surface and it is great. You also can friking surf on a shield. And you have countless attack abilities which brings me to SECTION 7 Combat: Combat in botw is great. You have so so so much variety on how to kill an enemy I FRIKKEN LOVED IT. SECTION 8 Enemies: extremely smart AI and a good amount of difficulty. I thought some of the mini bosses were much better than the bosses. Lynels were 10000 times harder than any of the actual bosses. So overall the enemies were great and I had so so much fun fighting them. SECTION 9 MUSIK: even though botw musk isn’t as memorable as in other Zelda’s a lot of the music is outright amazing. If I could I would give this game a 98 out of a 100.This and super Mario galaxy 1 and 2 are my favorite games of all time. And if you think this Game is overrated and haven’t played it you are missing out on one of if not the greatest Game of all time.… Expand

    This is an amazing game. Surely it isn't perfect, but you can't give it less than 9/10, especially if you tried the game; only haters do that. It isn't the best looking game ever, but it is still awesome.

    Also, I am experienced in all the Zelda Universe, though I have played the 3D titles only (OoT, MM, WW, TP, etc) and have never touched the 2D ones (ALTTP, The Legend of Zelda, etc). So, I wanted to play this game without any external influence of the critics nor wanted to spoil the story and gameplay. After 100 hours of gameplay, finishing the story and travel through all the world map, I can state that this can be defined as a MASTERPIECE. Nintendo created a game that reflects a true living world. I got lost within its magic, its compelling characters, the art style (oh! those unforgettable twilights), the dynamic combat, the treasures and yes, the best of all, the freedom that the physics engine provides you. The possibilities are endless.

    Although, I want to clarify that the music is exquisite and synchronizes perfectly with the world, but it is not as great as the music from other Zelda titles. Also, the story could have been polished and could have been defined with a more complex and intriguing plot. Overall, I can state that it is one of the greatest games created of the decade, and I would declare (from my personal opinion) that it is in the same level as OoT, if not higher.    … Expand

The story itself is the most compelling of any story the Zelda series has told before, so that just makes me want more of it. Nintendo has already announced DLC that will expand on the game's story, however, so I can't really complain.

    Do not get turned off by all of the negative reviews bashing the game because it's not an Ocarina of Time remake. This game has changed a lot, and I believe it's a move for the best.

    The lack of heart containers has made, what looks to be 1,201 people mad. Well I have to say I really like the system they implemented to get hearts. You have to solve puzzles that are hidden around the world to get spirit orbs. Four spirit orbs can give you heart piece. What all the haters don't realize is a spirit orb is essentially a heart piece itself, just like in the older games you need 4 spirit orbs (heart pieces) to have 1 complete new heart. It's the exact same as the old games except that you take 1 extra step.

    The weapon structure is a lot different. Here you have weapons with durability which make the game feel more realistic. I actually think it feels more "Zelda-esq" because of the environment. The Master Sword is NOT breakable like many of the negative reviews indicate, it simply needs to recharge after a certain time and that time is very short.

    Some of the negative reviews complain about the "lack of dungeons" but many Zelda games only have a few main dungeons. A great example includes Majora's Mask. There are 120 shrines which include puzzles that without a guide can be difficult. These shrines provide all the puzzle you would need for the game while the wilderness provides all the fighting you would need.

    Enemies are not necessarily difficult to kill, however Link can die very easily. Certain monsters can nearly 1 shot kill you even at a high enough number of bars. Obviously as the game goes on you get stronger but I like the difficulty.

    Traveling in this game is extremely easy. You can tame wild horses, or travel to any one of more than 130 locations on the map instantaneously across all the zones.
    Overall this is a great game to play and a great addition to the Zelda franchise. It is a deviation from the tried and true Zelda games and I believe it is a move in the right direction. Some people may not like it but it is FAR from a waste of money. In the case that you like the direction they took the game you will be extremely happy. In the case that you do not like the direction the game is still well worth its money.

    With all that said, I also have some gripes but there is no game I feel is perfect either. Initially it took some time getting used to the freedom the game gives you, I hated this at first but really enjoyed it after several hours of play. Also the Master Sword takes a while to get to without a guide and I rather have it as quick as possible. Lastly I was frustrated with the difficulty at fighting enemies at first, but this also goes away quickly as you learn the game.

    I hope they release additional Zelda games similar to this. I would continue to buy the game immediately.    … Expand

    This isn't Witcher. It won't make you take tough moral decisions. It won't amaze you with great story. The game is more of a sandbox, which is whatever you make out of it. You can finish the game just after the tutorial. You can try to beat the shrines in the ways creators never imagined. You can defeat enemies in different creative ways. You can collect crickets.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The is honestly my favorite game as of now. This game alone was enough for me to return to console (and Nintendo no less) and am overall incredibly impressed. The story-now that I have observed every detail of said narrative-is incredibly dark and fascinating and delivered the narrative in a rather nuanced manner. For example, (potential spoiler btw) finishing Kass' quests unlocks a hidden conversation in which Kass reveals that Zelda loves Link and tells Link that he knows who he is. Given that most NPC's do not recognize who you really are, the impact of Kass recognizing you is compounded in terms of effect. Subtle details about the way the story is told like the one mentioned is what makes it rather intriguing. If I had any real criticism about this game, however, it would be that the final stage of Ganon could have been made a bigger challenge (although, it does make sense that Ganon is the way he is from a story perspective). Despite that, the sheer scale and freedom offered by the game more than makes up for it. I have beaten the game twice and now eagerly await the DLC.

    sidenote: all the fanboys that left critical reviews for this game without even playing the game are...embarrassingly thickheaded (let's keep things civil ;) ). As for those who tried to retaliate by attacking other games on Sony's end...don't drop to the level of the idiots leaving illegitimate reviews here.    … Expand

    A ver, lo primero para aclarar es que la saga Zelda es una de las más influyentes a día de hoy pero no por eso hay que ponerla en un pedestal por cualquier obra que lleve este nombre, no niego que ocarina of time sea uno de los 5 mejores juegos de la historia gracias a la innovación, y con este nuevo Zelda me ha dado la sensación de que Nintendo está intentando cambiar las convenciones deA ver, lo primero para aclarar es que la saga Zelda es una de las más influyentes a día de hoy pero no por eso hay que ponerla en un pedestal por cualquier obra que lleve este nombre, no niego que ocarina of time sea uno de los 5 mejores juegos de la historia gracias a la innovación, y con este nuevo Zelda me ha dado la sensación de que Nintendo está intentando cambiar las convenciones de la saga, pero olvidamos que estamos en 2017, es muy difícil innovar en las mecánicas de un videojuego (a pesar de que en el desarrollo cinematográfico de los videojuegos todavía queda un largo camino para alcanzar la calidad del de una película) y eso hace que las empresas que quieran innovar tan solo pueden agarrarse a una fórmula y explotarla para que dé lo máximo de sí misma, y esto es algo que este nuevo Zelda hace a la perfección, en este caso no coge los conceptos de su antecesor (Skyward Sword) sino que vuelve a sus inicios en la era de 8 bits que es de donde saca casi la totalidad de sus ideas, desde la libertad que te dan desde el principio del juego hasta los enemigos, estamos hablando de que la saga Zelda ha llegado a lo que quería ser desde que el primer juego salió al mercado, una experiencia de total libertad en todos sus apartados esto es algo ue muchos intentan pero pocos consiguen no hay ni que ir muy lejos ahí están juegos como Watch Dogs los cuales intentan que el entorno se sienta vivo pero faltan opciones para que realmente lo parezca, pero bueno me estoy llendo por las ramas,the legend of Zelda: breath of the wild es un gran videojuego que consigue lo que intenta. Tiene una jugabilidad realmente buena que te obliga a adaptarse continuamente a cada situación (al igual que Dark Souls) y es un sistema inmenso en cuanto a posibilidades hasta que empiezas a ver los límites, y sí, con esto me refiero a la repetitividad de los combates ya que a pesar de lo amplio que parece el sistema el juego no te dá ningún incentivo para no hacer lo mismo en la totalidad de los combates, otro de los grandes problemas es que hay muchos enemigos con muchas animaciones propias pero no están bien aprovechados ya que la inmensa mayoría (por no decir todos) pueden ser derrotados de la misma forma y a diferencia de otros juegos en los que cada enemigo tiene sus mecánicas para ser derrotados aquí la barra de vida es lo único que crea una diferencia real entre (por ejemplo) un bokoblin rojo y uno azul.

    Aquí es donde comienzo la segunda parte del análisis donde voy a pasar explicar los problemas que he tenido con la historia. Está claro que este juego intenta contar una historia de gran calidad sobre una mujer que siente que es inferior al resto y a la que le acompaña un caballero que posee todas las cualidades que ella a querido tener durante la totalidad de su vida pero el problema es que la historia es contada a través de recuerdos, los cuales ocurrieron hace cien años por lo que en todo momento sientes que te gustaría estar realmente en ese instante pero no puedes por cómo limita la trama el hecho de que todo lo que ves ahí ya a ocurrido. Esto es algo que hacen otros juegos como Dark Souls pero ahí sientes en todo momento que todo se ha perdido y que realmente no hay vuelta a atrás al contrario que en Zelda en el cual hay aldeas en los que la gente no tiene problemas para seguir una vida normal y sientes que hay esperanza y que es un viaje en el que vas acompañado eso hace que pierdas el miedo a que es posible que nada se solucione.

    Finalmente quiero decir que este nuevo Zelda es un gran juego y me parece una gran decisión que hayan intentado cambiar la fórmula para no quedarse estancados desde luego lo recomiendo mucho debido a su buena historia (mal contada) a su amplio sistema de combate (el cual se podría haber explotado más) y a su gran libertad (la cual es una locura que nunca antes se había visto en ningún otro videojuego). Se nota mucho que nintendo se ha esforzado para hacer este juego, ahora solo queda ver cómo será el futuro el cuál tiene pinta de ser muy prometedor y de que por fin, la industria va a evolucionar.

    Gráficos: 9’1. Tal vez no sean los mas rompedores que hemos visto pero son preciosos y hacen que el mundo sea un lugar que te incite a explorarlo

    Jugabilidad: 9’7. Posee gran variedad de ideas y conceptos los cuales tienen pinta de que van a trascender en esta saga

    Sonido: 9. Iba a ponerlo a parir en este análisis ya que echas en falta las melodías de otros juegos hasta que me puse a jugarlo con melodías antiguas y me dí cuenta de la belleza que tiene la melodía de este juego

    Contenido: 10. 120 santuarios con su desafío propio, 900 Kologs escondidos en todo el mundo, 76 misiones secundarias de una inmensa calidad…

    Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, perfecto en casi todos los aspectos, aunque la unica queja que tengo es que no es un zelda en si, le faltan algunas cosas de la saga, pero eso no quita que sea un gran juego.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game is generally fantastic. A different direction than other Zelda games, and one that was welcome with the new capabilities of the switch. I don't need to ramble on about the positives, others have done that, and there are many.

    Originally, I'd have given this game a 9/10 because I believed the combat to be far too easy, and simple at that. Going around gathering food is a great way to make sure that you can never die against bosses, most of which were too similar. That, and the ending seemed super abrupt, with not quite enough to satisfy you after sinking that many hours into the game.

    That being said, there is a story-based DLC to drop this holiday, so I'll reserve judgement on that front until that comes out. Also, I'm still in the middle of Master Mode, and it seems that the difficulty of enemies in this mode is finally up to a challenging level, which makes upgrading armor and simply getting around about as hard as it should be.    … Expand

    I never saw a game with so much emotion, so much desire to continue playing, even after finishing the game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, makes us rediscover the open world.

    Ocarina of Time isn't the best Zelda game, this is. It's truly a great experience. The controls and camera angles are fixed from Ocarina of Time in this game. The story and gameplay shine bright. This is the best Zelda game.

    Zelda Is back!

    Possibly the best game of Zelda's Series.

    This game is amazing. I got it for my birthday and I was psyched to play it. When I got around to it, it was amazing.
    The only problem with this game is that the game is a little cheap at times. Spoiler alert ->

HZD is a pretty game, sure, but Zelda is a beautiful game with vast land and rich environments. People complain that it is too empty and I don't think those people actually played the game because there are towns and villages everywhere. The only thing that really bugs me, but I also love, is the weapon destruction system. I love how it forces you to try out different weapons that you would never try before, but it is rather inconvenient when it happens. I hate people comparing this to HZD, or any open-world game released in the last 7 years, this is not just any open world game, there is no hand holding, the game does have hints to how to do certain things like parrying, but you have to find those or just teach yourself how to. This is definitely going to be one of, if not, the best game released this year.… Expand

    The game is awesome. One of the largest negatives from a lot of people is that the weapons break. I feel like it is missed that it is a positive. It allows you to go anywhere and get stronger weapons, but not be OP for the rest of the game. It isn't the typical Zelda game, but it is a fantastic game.

Graphics don't need to be 4k beautiful like-real life to be good, even with the limits of the switch, Nintendo somehow made the game look like it was a high budget animation at all    170+ Hours and going.

    There was a crazy amount of stuff I wanted to put out there and that I just plain love about the game, so If you want something shorter, just skip to the end paragraph.

I    There was a crazy amount of stuff I wanted to put out there and that I just plain love about the game, so If you want something shorter, just skip to the end paragraph.

    Having just completed all main story adventures, a hand-full of side quests, and around 30-40 shrines , I can safely say that the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild completely blew my expectations out of the water. I can occasionally over-hype a game to the point of ending up disappointed. However, this game, no matter how much I hyped it up, gave me a sense of adventure, wonder, and excitement every time I booted it up. I always wanted to see what was behind the next corner, or on top of the tallest mountain. There is a stroke of intensity whenever you approach even the smallest of enemies, because you know if you handle it the wrong way, you'll end up with Link on the ground and GAME OVER covering the screen in blood red letters. Right from the start, you find that this game is truly as it says, Open World. After you complete the four shrines on The Great Plateau, You have several different options to choose from in terms of story. I chose the more linear route, and it didn't necessarily make my experience linear, it just made it so the story had more substance. The heart container situation in this game is that there are over one hundred shrines. Complete a shrine, and you receive a spirit orb. Four spirit orbs, and you can choose between a heart container or a stamina vessel. A heart container increases the amount of health link has, and a stamina vessel increases the amount of energy he has (the more energy he has the farther he can sprint/swim/ without stopping. another thing about shrines are the different abilities Link has because of the Sheikah Slate, Link's version of an iPad throughout the course of the adventure. He has powers such as creating ice blocks from water sources, becoming a magnet, taking pictures, etc. and are a lot of fun to goof around and solve puzzles with. This game's controls play very smoothly, a refreshing change of pace from other Zelda entries, and easy to get the hang of. And Despite Link being a loner through this game, there's still a lovable cast of heartwarming and hilarious characters that will make you want to keep playing on. All the side quests are a blast to play through, and are filled with originality. Ranging from touching and personal to hilarious and wacky, I felt more of a desire to play through the side quests. You ,of course , can ride horses in this game and you can either just pick up wild horses and drop them off somewhere or take a wild horse and find a stable to register it under their care. All the classic Zelda locales are back with exciting new twists such as Zora's Domain, Death Mountain, and hey, The Rito are back!

    Overall, this is a fantastic game with a high-stakes story and a sense of adventure pulled of better than the majority of other games on the market. And the reasons to replay it are more than just nostalgia, because you can play it any way you want to. This is definitely one of if not my favorite game of all time, and I highly recommend picking it up, for Switch or WiiU.    … Expand

I still spend loads of time exploring areas I haven't visited yet, and I find more sidequests to do. The shrines are a cool mechanic to upgrade your hearts or stamina, and though not all shrines are as challenging as other ones, lots of shrines are very original and full of challenging and interesting puzzles to solve. The world is huge, and there are tons of interesting and fun places to visit and explore. I love that the game can be serious and dramatic, but also very lighthearted and funny. The game is very expansive. There are tons of different weapons, materials, and items to find and collect. The weapons do indeed break rather quickly, but that is very well balanced with the amount of weapons you can find. You can take weapons from any enemy you pass by, so the weapons should not stay to long so that you cannot simply collect all overpowered weapons in the game. If it isn't exploring, collecting or doing quests, there are still lots of cool survival elements in the game. You can hunt and shoot down technically any animal in the game and it will give you meat to cook (except for horses). You can pluck apples and other fruits all over the world, mix them with meat, some mushrooms and maybe a flower with a special effect, and you can cook yourself a delicious meal. There are lots of different meals, like Steamed Meat, Simmered Fruit, etc, but also the more recognisable ones, like Apple Pie, or Nutcake. You can spend lots of hours experimenting with cooking. You can tame different kinds of horses and you can even try to ride animals like deer, bears or goats. The game always looks beautiful. That word doesn't really describe it. it looks gorgeous! The stunning landscapes are always stunningly beautiful. The graphics of the game, in relation to the beautiful landscapes, aren't that amazing, but they aren't ugly either. As for the soundtrack, a lot of people point out that the soundtrack is bad and basically just some random notes, but that only really counts for the overworld music. The overworld music is, indeed, very quiet, slow, and ''random'' notes, but it is very well thought through. It is very relaxing and quiet, almost like meditation music, which fits very well to the theme of the game. It immerses better into nature, it is a song of nature, and it fits very well with the world. The rest of the soundtrack contains lots of good songs, with strong melodies that can get stuck in your head for ages, like the Guardian Stalker Battle Theme and all of the Champions' themes. The storytelling of the game isn't very good, but that is mostly because the happenings in the game do not really have a story. That is not a negative point, the game is primarily focused on the backstory, what happened in the past, which I think is very interesting.
    Fantastic, wonderful, amazing, splendiferous game! Game of the year, in my opinion. Best game I've ever played, to be honest! The game includes lots of exploring, beautiful soundtrack, great characters, and lots and lots things to do! 10/10, and it totally deserves that!    … Expand

    One of the best Zelda games I've played in all my life, maybe even the greatest game in the world! Great job Nintendo, and it was a master piece that was worth the wait. I give this a 10/10.

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

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.

    Other developers should take note of how Nintendo leveraged animation to overcome the lack of compute power compared to the PS4/5 and X Box One and Series X because I am in no need to rush into next gen when a game as good as this exists.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es un juego que reforma absolutamente la manera de mirar a la franquicia, rompe con muchos de los esquemas que se venían repitiendo desde ocarina of time, pero lo hace de una manera espectacular; apuntando a mas cantidad de jugadores, pudiendo satisfacer a quienes van de lleno con la aventura principal (que no es mas del 10% del juego), a aquellos que se quieren tomar un poco mas de tiempo para ver los arcos argumentales y misiones secundarias de los respectivos pueblos y también para aquellos mas ambiciosos que buscan el 100% del juego, que fácilmente les tomara mas de 200 horas de juego.
    El juego madura mucho, desde re formular el sistema de puzzles y repartir los "templos" por todas partes del mapeado, lo entretenido y distintas formas de abordar cada combate, el añadido de un sistema de sigilo, la sensación de progreso a medida que vas mejorando tus vestimentas y consiguiendo nuevas armas, la gran manera de abordar la master sword, dándole un protagonismo digno de la saga, sin perder los rasgos de mundo abierto, y incitándote a seguir usando otras armas,
    El diseño de las bestias divinas es espectacular, si bien me hubiese gustado ver mayor variedad en los jefes, cumplen, y en el ámbito de la música del juego, son melodías mucho mas complejas de lo que se escucha a simple oído, y pierde mucho protagonismo, ya que le dan espacio a poder escuchar el entorno, el ruido de los animales, pájaros, el viento que le sienta espectacular a este mundo abierto.
    Y creo que dentro de los mundos abiertos hasta el momento, el tema de físicas es lo que mas me sorprendió del juego, que va de la mano de como se articula con el entorno y sus diversos climas y circunstancias.    … Expand

    - The music goes perfectly with the setting and the atmosphere. It's kind of progressive/experimental music. People complains about the lack of music and other characteristic themes of the franchise, but the ones on game are amazingly composed and designed to be earworms.
