    Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a Mediocre disappointment. That somehow got the internet echo chamber thinking it's the best game ever when reality it's far from it. Infact, It's one of the most Soulless Open World games I've ever played in my life. And the reason why people even like this is because simply of brand recognition.

That somehow got the internet echo chamber thinking it's the best game ever when reality it's far from it. Infact, It's one of the most Soulless Open World games I've ever played in my life. And the reason why people even like this is because simply of brand recognition. I'll first be talking about the pros before I get all crazy with the Cons. And I'm a HUGE Zelda fan.

    Pros:
    -The Climbing mechanic is neat, Especially remembering in Skyrim where you'd end up walking up the mountains that you want to climb.

    -I'm not against the Open World approach infact, I'm a huge fan of Open world games in general and also a fan of Zelda.

    -I guess a good variety of armors is neat even though I really STRONGLY PREFER to see Link in his Iconic Green Tunic.

    -I also guess the cooking system is pretty neat.

    -I can appreciate the story being a little more hands off (In-spite of me liking Skyward Sword) I mean, It's quite refreshing to see Link being his own man again.

    Cons:
    -The enemy variety sucks! Like seriously, The enemies in the games can be boiled down to Moblins, Bokoblins, and Lizalfoes with the occasional Wizzrobes and Chu-Chus.

    -The Weapon Degradation system sucks! Like seriously! Why are they all so frail? Why is the Master Sword and Hylian Shield no exception? Why arn't the amiibo weapons No exception either especially with the RNG bullcrap going on?

    -The Shrines, They're all the same, They look the same, with some small meaningless puzzles that arn't fun. Even the "Divine beasts" are just samey with the samey bosses.

    -When it rains, It makes climbing WAY too hard. Sure there are workarounds but Some walls are too tall to scale during the rain and it forces you to wait till it stops. I also don't like how you are forced to swap weapons when it rains.

    -I don't like Kass or Sidon, I mean, How people gush over these characters makes me cringe, Their proportions look weird and I'm not about Sidon's narcissism and Kass' Annoying accordion Music.

    -I also don't like how Zelda is portrayed in this game, I mean she's extremely whiny and **** (And I don't like the hairstyle they chose for her, Makes her forehead look weird.)

    -Why is the Green tunic so hard to get!? Especially considering the RNG crap you have to go through with the amiibos and these amiibos are really hard to find in Real life too the point I had to get amiibo cards 3rd party sense Nintendo understocks them. And it's the ONLY way to get it earlier in the game. Heck why do we need amiibo to get a certain variant of the Green tunic I like? There's a green tunic that you can get without amiibo, BUT that would mean clearing most of the game's content.

    If anything, It kinda feels very Microtransaction-y in a way. Ideally, If I had an amiibo, I'd get the Green tunic after I scanned it and I could earn the Green Tunic variants during the course of Gameplay.

    -The Korok seeds are a pointless boring side objective.

    I mean, Here's hoping the sequel will be better. But I have my doubts. I'm still VERY critical about this game in-spite of the Internet echo chamber saying otherwise. Maybe it'll be on-par with Skyrim or Saints Row. If you were to ever get this game, Do yourselves a favor and get it on some sort of discount.    … Expand

The over the top weapon breakage, champion skills recharge patterns, excessive limiting of arrows and gimmicky combat? Yea it gets tiring too soon. Enemies are not difficult until you get used to them... and then... they are just way to easy the challenge leaves the game and you are left with a piece of emptiness and that breaks a certain idea of balance for me. But once again... get this game for the visuals and atmosphere... I don't think you will regret that decision. There is just too much to explore and do to miss out here! Enjoy and Have fun!… Expand

    This game does the open world concept better than any other game I know of. Almost anywhere you can see, you can go to. And the game's mechanics and physics allow the most creative problem solving I know of in a game.

I know there are great games in every console, etc, and I want even better games for each, I just underestimated Nintendo in this case, I guess. and man, was i wrong. It is too, as good as red dead. I was totally wrong about that. it is a little bit simpler, but thats not a demerit , it's just the way it is.
    oh, btw, imo, BotW gives you the oportunity to fight one of the most epic final boss ever in your hand, wherever, even tho i recomend setting it down on the rack to play in a big ass 4k tv
    I'm so very impressed, really
    ps: I ALMOST gave this a 9 because of some really minor disconforts such as link not grabing the next weapon or shield in the inventory whenever one breaks wich can make you die in a most frustrating way, but come on, these things cant take the bright shine off of the game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Bad:
    The breakable weapon system is flawed because it does NOT redeem itself later by allowing the player to find an ultimate, unbreakable, reliable weapon to give closure to the system. It forces you to deal with its breakable weapons the entire game, INCLUDING the Hylian Shield, and having to recharge the Master Sword. The player NEVER gets the feeling of satisfaction and security and completion knowing he has finally worked his way up and acquired the final unbreakable weapons. There ARE NO unconditionally unbreakable weapons. This is DEEPLY disappointing, and an absolute deal breaker! Even at his most "leveled up" in the game, no matter how much time you spend building up Link, he will ALWAYS be forced to walk around Hyrule, as the Hero of Time, with BREAKABLE weapons. Again, this would be fine if it redeemed itself later on, but it doesn't. It's an open-ended, ongoing weapon breaking system. No unconditionally powerful Master Sword or Shield. It's a disastrous decision for the series.    … Expand

Das grandiose Ocarina of Time (1998) und der Klassiker vom SNES A Link to the Past (1991). Für mich gilt also die Regel alle 10 Jahre einmal Zelda. So lange will ich aber eigentlich gar nicht warten, denn Breath of the Wild ist fantastisch und hat mich fast genau so in den Bann gezogen wie Ocarina of Time damals. Warum nicht genauso liegt meiner Meinung nach nicht einmal am Spiel sondern daran, dass ich mit fortschreitender Erfahrung und Alter einfach nicht mehr so aus dem Häuschen zu bringen bin wie ich es früher war. Dennoch BotW ist fantastisch. Die Hardware der Switch ist wirklich nicht die Stärkste und dennoch sieht das Spiel so fantastisch aus und hört sich grandios an. Alles passt! Immer wenn ich die Switch anschmiss um wirklich zu spielen fühlte ich mich wohl. Das schafft das Spiel einfach irgendwie. Es muckelt einen in eine warme Decke voll von guten Gefühlen und stellt einem noch eine Lieblingswarmgetränk hin. Zum Spiel: Ganondorf der Oberbösewicht hat Hyrule mal wieder unterjocht. Er ist aber nicht bei voller Stärke und ist kurz davor aufzuwachen. Wir hingegen (als spitzöhriger Elf Link) wachen auf und wissen nicht wer wir sind und warum...? Deswegen verlassen wir den Tempelhöhlenort in dem wir 100 Jahre gepennt haben um die Welt draußen zu erkunden. Alleine die Szene in der wir die Höhle verlassen lässt mich wohlig schaudern. Es ist einfach wunderschön in Szene gesetzt. Die zu erkundende Welt von verschiedenen Temperaturzonen ist frei erkundbar. Die Umwelteinflüsse spielen in diesem Zelda eine große Rolle. Temperatur, Gewitter und Regen sind für den Spielablauf wichtig. Irgendwann kommt man darauf, dass bestimmte Shrine gesucht werden müssen um stärker zu werden. Hier müssen kleine Rätsel gelöst werden. Die Zelda üblichen Dungeons sind in 4 große mechanische Tiere gestopft worden. Einerseits muss man in dieses große Viech hinein, dann muss man die Rätsel im Tier lösen und den Endboss besiegen. Innerhalb dieser Tiere sind Schalter um diese roboterartigen Geschöpfe so zu manipulieren, dass innerhalb wiederum Wege frei werden. Das ist wirklich fantastisch! Die Steuerung geht wie immer perfekt von der Hand. Das beste Open World Action Adventure was ich bisher gespielt habe!!!… Expand

    This is a great game but has way too much serious flaws. It has no music which was one of the things that made the previews Zelda entries great.

The combat system sucks, where the weapons keep breaking after a few hits, the lock on system simple does not work, and the camera is never in the right place. The fact that you need to constantly adjust the camera makes the gameplay annoying.
    The story is ok but nothing much. All the main characters you meet seem to have a huge depression on their minds, specially the princess that probably has the biggest depression ever of a character on the history of games.
    There is absolutely no character or story development. Just plain old go kill the bad guy and save the princess. It's basically the same story since Donkey Kong back in 1983...
    The open world experience is amazing where you can go anywhere you like. This makes you choose different paths and ways to get around. This is the best aspect of the game. The paraglider is an amazing feature.
    The puzzles and dungeons are simple and don't have the greatness that previews games had. Don't know why they made this a basic game.
    In conclusion, this is a good game. But it's far away from being a masterpiece like the witcher 3, god of war or the last of us. It's a good open world game with a massive map to explore but with bad gameplay aspects, bland story, annoying details and no music.    … Expand

    If there is any word that describes this game perfectly is "Freedom". Climbing, shield surfing and gliding give the palyers this free will that i´ve never seen on any game before. So, in summary, I didn´t know videogames had me in chains, until botw set me free.

    The game is boring, the soundtrack is boring not a typical Zelda music just a slow anime sounds, there is to much little side quest and the main quest its just defeat ganon. And just shrines not a single dungeon. Link has not even his Green tunic. I buy this game and i dont want to finish it. nintendo want promote there games with bigger and a lot mini sidequest. Skyrim has a better mainquest.

Its fun, the game gives you so much solutions for any problem you have that there is no wrong or right way to play. The weapons breaking forces you to get more creative, the runes, the paraglider and the divine beast powers really make the gameplay varied. This is a game which mixes the physics and combat together. You could throw your sword to the ground and use magnesis to float it as a way of killing a distant enemy. Most enemy bases have a way of being dealt with in a smart way, but that doesnt mean the smart way that is quite obvious like rolling a boulder on the enemies or exploding barrels always works well, one time i tried to kill a whole enemy camp with just a few exploding barrels and my bomb rune and boy did it not go well. The dungeons were fine, they werent good but not bad either. My personal favorite was the setup to the Goron Divine Beast. The game's tutorial doesnt bore you unlike most Zelda games and it can be completed in about 40 minutes if you know what you are doing. The shrines are a good way of challenging the player with puzzles that sometimes get pretty difficult, but the shrines arent frustrating like you'd expect, they are just fun! The story is good in my opinion. Its not complex or detailed but finding memories is a pretty interesting and fun mechanic. I'd say this is the best Zelda game ever, even better than OOT, which i have always seen as overrated.… Expand

    While it clearly changes a lot on many aspects from the previous 3D Zelda games, the identity of the series, its charm, is everywhere, the world is brimming with subtle poetry and epicness. And I can't keep a straight route too, I just keep getting distracted every 10 seconds by something new, some new puzzle, quest, ennemies, scenery.
    The design is top notch, it doesn't get any better than that, the puzzles are very clever, diverse, and keep surprising, the feeling of getting more powerful is present more than ever in the series...
    Definitely a game you have to experience for yourself, I seriously doubt it can leave anyone unfazed. It just keeps giving. What a game.

    EDIT ( 4/14/2020 ) : currently rediscovering this game after 3 years, playing it in Expert mode (tough to say the least), lately I was feeling nostalgic about this game, only 3 years after I've completed it!

This is a true progression of not only an incredible series, but a progression of how open world games are experienced. Every player is able to create a story of their own while they embark on their journey. Puzzles and tasks usually have countless ways of being solved, leaving it up to the player’s imagination and skill level to solve it how they see fit. The music, art and sound design beautifully aids the game in its somber story about a lone adventurer facing a world 100 years after its own destruction.

I enjoyed most of the puzzles but couldn’t quite understand most parts of the story, I have seen other players get emotional over this beloved nostalgic series unfortunately I didn’t get swept up by it. After finishing the game I found it to have a lacklustre ending and couldn’t find anything else to keep myself really enveloped In its large open world, I found myself returning the game to the store in exchange for a different switch game.

I have so many hours between multiple playthroughs and there is still so much more I constantly find out when I test new things. There are a few minor flaws but it's the closest I think a game will get to a masterpiece

    Pros

    The dungeons having 4 good and well fleshed out quests along with the use of shrines as mini puzzles made traveling rewarding and gameplay streamlined

    Combat is simple but requires immense skill and can be modified to whatever way you want to play. The weapon durability system encourages thoughtful resource management and pushes you to try new weapon types that you may have otherwise steered away from

    Story is simple but works well with the "rediscover hyrule" idea since it allows you to play the game how you want, finding Easter eggs and knowledge as you go on while also having main themes and places you must be

    Graphics are amazing and probably the best port we will see on the switch fir a long time

    Collecting and exploration has never felt more simple and satisfying with such a well done method of finding shrines, kooks, and locations that push you towards 100% or just a nice sense of satisfaction

    Cons Rain is good for limiting movement but it limits movement a bit too much and it is often difficult to light a time skipping fire by that time which makes it mildly inconvenient The musical score for this game is amazing but suffers from a lack of use as you often just get a few piano keys, simple touches like more majestic horse riding music or a variety of daytime travel ambience would be nice


    I could go on for so much longer but I have to say this is one of my top 3 games of the 2010 decade, it has a wonderful design that allows anyone to put well over 200 hours into a single playthrough. A true masterpiece that will shape games to come, 10/10    … Expand
