    Mais uma vez a Nintendo redefine o gênero com esta franquia, na qual não seria exagero nenhum chama-lo de obra-prima, foram as melhores 180 horas gastas em minha vida.

    Não existem palavras o suficientes para descrever o quão bom Zelda: Breath of the Wild é.
    Sem dúvidas é aquele jogo que maior parte das pessoas que jogaram do começo ao fim, o colocarão pelo menos em um top 10 de melhores jogos que já jogaram na vida!
    Uma obra de arte, e mereceu ganhar como jogo do ano em seu ano de lançamento.

This game is nothing like any other Zelda game in our existence. Breath of the Wild has a perfect setup for an open world game. Instead of eight dungeons, it had four Divine Beasts and 120 shrines (unless you have the DLC). The Divine Beasts are focused on combat and puzzles while most shrines are more focused on puzzles with few being completely devoted to combat.
    The starting area, the Great Plateau, is the perfect tutorial. The four Shrines give you the first runes and teach you how to use them. If you are exploring, you'll find secrets that'll help you in your adventure.
    After the Great Plateau, there are barely any barriers. You can go beat the game right now (with enough skill) or take the long path and beat the four Divine Beasts and 120 Shrines. Quests are scattered throughout the land. While there are Main Quests, they aren't required. The Shrine Quests are done to unlock certain Shrines and are often based on puzzles. The Side Quests can be based on either puzzles, combat, or just a simple task.
    The music of the game compliments the atmosphere in the game. In places that should have music, you can hear music that perfectly fits the area. Epic areas such as the enemy infested Hyrule Castle have epic music that builds up the final battle of the game, Calamity Ganon Vs. Link.
    The combat in the game is handled perfectly. With ZL you can target enemies like Ocarina of Time. If you take the time to learn tricks, you can do things like Flurry Rushes and Perfect Guards.
    The story of the game is absolutely perfect. I won't spoil it. I'll just say that the story is there, but not heavily pushed down on you.
    So my final rating for The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild is a 10/10. There are hardly any problems with the game itself. The only problems are with how I play.
    So I hope this review helped you and pushed you toward purchasing Breath of the Wild.
    If you can, buy the DLC. It adds a lot of great content. But without the DLC, the game is still great.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who has capped over 140+ hours of my time into this game, I can say that this game is a masterpiece in it's own regard. First, you can't compare this title to games like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask because of how different it is from those games genre-wise. Comparing this game to the last 5 home console entries in the series is like comparing first-person shooters to puzzle games. This game is a callback to the original formula that was shown in the original Zelda on the NES, which I though was great. The game itself has a good combat system and focuses heavily on exploration, unlike the previous linear entries on Nintendo's last three home consoles. You are also given a lot of freedom when it comes to how you want to do things and where you want to go, which is refreshing for this series. There were a few problems (like durability on weapons :/), but I mostly got over those over time. The game's story was not a big deal, as it just gives an almost generic story of good vs evil in the world of Hyrule. The story doesn't go all too deep either, with the cutscenes giving you an adequate amount of information on what is going on. But that isn't the point; Nintendo themselves said "to forget everything you know about the Zelda series", as it is more similar to the non-linear format shown in the original NES title. But despite not having a stellar story, the art style of the game is beautiful and exploring what Hyrule has to offer is really fun. It is a must-have for any Switch or Wii U owner and I would recommend playing it.… Expand

These provide back-story, context, character development, and an overall stronger connection to the world. Breath of the Wild also showcases Zelda in her strongest form, being a far more developed character than ever before in the series. I felt strongly connected to her and her struggle, which provided a more satisfying end-game. Furthermore, the world is absolutely breathtaking, and the character designs are beautiful and bold.

    One mistake I think the game makes is the implementation of breakable weapons. This added unnecessary anxiety as I began avoiding enemies to avoid wasting my best weapons. In such an exploration-driven world, it’s a shame to feel restricted only because of your equipment's mortality. The master sword eases this pain slightly, however, I still completed the game with an entire arsenal of weapons I was too afraid to waste.

    In the end, Breath of the Wild revolutionizes its franchise with THE best Legend of Zelda game to date.    … Expand

I have never touched a Nintendo console unless I was at a friend's house. Come December of 2017, and everyone is talking about the Nintendo Switch. So I pick one up, got Breath of the Wild, and was blown away.

    Pros:
    -Big open world that feels hand crafted and polished beyond many games coming out in 2017
    -Beautiful cel shading aesthetic that feels right at home for the Switch
    -A massive amount of things to do/content that it doesn't feel like filler
    -Combat and progression fit so perfectly together to make you feel stronger while looking stronger
    - THE PARAGLIDER!!!!! (also shieldsurfing is neat)

    Cons:
    -The bosses (non overworld) don't stand out much from the rest
    -Some places have frame drops (after updates they are less, but still prominent in one particular area)
    -I have been told that all the Zelda games have amazing story, and I feel like the main story doesn't fulfill that void. BUT I will say that the story the world itself tells from the minute to minute gameplay beyond satisfied that issue, just something to address.

    After 115 hours playing on the couch, toilet, work, driving, flying, wherever and whenever, I will always have a love for this game. I now own my own Nintendo console and I have never been happier with a game I haven't had this much fun with since Skyrim.

    In short, play this game please. I am in my second playthrough and I am in love all over again.    … Expand

    With this title Nintendo has brought its flagship even higher. I absolutely do not want to compare it to The Ocarina of Time, unattainable title, but according to my opinion they have managed to create a masterpiece, an open world where everything is possible, settings and breathtaking views, sounds that allow you to fully immerse yourself in the game. So for me a new masterpiece Nintendo.

The difference is that I was 15 back then and ever since I've been waiting for a game to make me feel the same. This game almost did that.

The old dungeons are missed and the story sucks. But the whole package is awesome anyway and admirable. Typical Nintendo refinement and a still present feeling that this is Zelda anyway. The only thing that one can hope is that the next Zelda will really make everything that one expects from Zelda combined with the novelty this game presented to us. But with Ganon gone once and for all and new concepts, such as the awesome motorcycle. Zelda needs to let Ganon go and create different settings and stories. This game gives the impression that Nintendo is doing just that. Like a goodbye to Ganon. I hope that is the reason why he was so easy and boring to kill. Because the other great flaw of this Zelda is the bosses. Still, with all its weaknesses, this is a game to behold in every sense. Never was there such freedom in a game. If I was a professional reviewer I think I wouldn't give it a 10 though. 9.9. Just because it is not perfect. But I reckon that it deserves a 10 anyway. Because it is literally game changing. You will get immersed in this Hyrule. I still go there every now and then after almost 200 hours of gameplay. I was never a completionist. When the story is done it is done. But with this game, that didn't happen.… Expand

I've been a Zelda fan since I was 4, and I've played all the games, but this is the Zelda game I've wanted ever since Wind Waker. The Zelda series was always been fantastic, but Skyward Sword is when I started to realize that the series' formula was reaching its limits and it needed change. Breath of the Wild brought the change the series needed. And it didn't just change how we think of Zelda games, but also how we think of open world games in general.

    "The Wild", that's the big draw to this game. BotW's open world is probably my favorite open world I've ever experience. It's filled with life, wonder, mystery, and beauty, and it's up to you how much you want to explore it all. To make exploring this open world even more fun is the tools you have at your disposal. From the start of the game you pretty much have access to all the necessary skills you need. You can jump, run, walk, glide, crouch, and climb, and best of you all, you can climb pretty much everywhere. Not to mention all the skills you can perform with your weapons and shields, you have it all from the beginning. Also shortly after playing, you gain access to using runes that give you additional abilities. Having all the necessary skills and weapons you need right from the start may seem strange, but it's actually liberating. BotW does not hold your hand and tell you how to use everything, you must get creative, learn how to use the environment to your advantage, and adapt. BotW encourages experimentation with your abilities and skills, and while everything is easy to learn, even after 200+ hours of playing I'm still amazed on how fresh everything feels and I never do one thing the same way every time.

    BotW has a sense of freedom that I haven't experienced in any game ever. I can run around for hours pretty much doing nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it's a blast. BotW let's you take your time and explore. You can do any little task you want and complete the game in any order you feel like. You get to decide what type of journey you have. Every time I pick up and play Breath of the Wild it never feels boring or that its over stayed its welcome because you just get lost in its world. Anything that you see you can get to and anything you can think of doing, you can pretty much do thanks to the psychics engine. In this game, the physics engine is absolutely incredible. You'll play around with all the different possibilities you can do with the environment and you'll find interesting ways to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. I find fighting enemies so much fun in this game because I can defeat them in almost infinite different ways, it just never gets old.

    Now, as for the characters, I'd say this version of Zelda is by far the best Zelda we've ever had. She has a great personality and is relatable . Someone who is burdened by her duty and has doubts in herself, but also someone who works tirelessly to achieve her goal. Plus her personality is very fun and sweet, she's extremely likable. Also Link is probably one of my favorite Links as well. He gets a bit of development too (and we even learn why he doesn't talk). His design and personality he gives in any given situation makes him pretty appealing, and he has the most emotion since Toon Link in Wind Waker. I think he's won the hearts of many is probably going to be the face of the franchise for some time, just as OoT and TP Link were. Outside of those two, the rest of the champions are intriguing and full of personality (Revali being my favorite), but we just didn't get to see a lot from them! Also the other side characters aren't too memorable besides some of the Zoras like Sidon and the Gerudo chief Riju. This also means there isn't as many side quests that really stand out. There are some fun ones for sure, but the ones that stick with you, just not too many. The Gerudo side quests I'd say were the most fun and memorable of the bunch though, I really liked the Gerudo region in general. But this game still hasn't been able to touch Majora's Mask with having the best side characters and side quests in the franchise. Wind Waker would be the runner-up.

    The story works for this type of game and I like that you have to piece together everything that's happened, but its definitely not up there with some of Zelda's top stories. The relationship between Link and Zelda and the Champions are definitely the highlight.

    But at the end of the day, BotW isn't that type of game that has a lot of emphasis on characters and story. You make your own journey and your own story, and the focus here is the world and your main objective. The pros far out weight the cons, and the cons are minuscule in comparison. BotW is one of the greatest games I've ever played and it's refreshing to play a game with so much freedom and trust in the player. Its one of the few open world games that keeps its core promise: "open".    … Expand

    This is probably the best open world game ever made. Every detail of this map has been fined tuned to perfection and the combat is also really good. The music is so good even though it doesn't really put itself up front. The art style is amazing and every single shrine is also perfection, although-like most people-I miss dungeons, which I guess wouldn't work in the context of the game.This is probably the best open world game ever made.

Many people complain about the weapons breaking but i personally really like the feature it all ways makes me improvise and not just rush into battle with my strongest weapon or bow.

    I bought the Switch solely to play this game, having never played any Zelda game previously, and I don't regret it a bit. This is a beautifully made game - beautiful world, interesting puzzles - and it works very very well in all respects. My only complaint is that it ended, and unlike Skyrim, once it has ended there's not so much to do any more.

    A great feature that I personally enjoy is that you are able to physically feel vibrations through the Switch when you are fighting monsters or carrying certain objects. This is true for other consoles as well, but because I am not much of a gamer, and this is a game that has piqued my interest, this tiny feature makes all the difference. It immerses you in the game by making it feel like you are the actual character inside of this game, feeling the blows of the monsters or experiencing the weight of a chest that you are holding. Sound effects really add to the aesthetic of the game as well. Such as when Link is walking through the grass, you hear the swishing of the blades, but when he walks across boulders or cement, you hear his actual footsteps. Also, when Link goes swimming, you can hear the splashing of the water as you guide him to the other side of the pond. You also hear the light swooshing of the wind as you walk and run around through Hyrule. The attention to detail of this game is astounding! A unique feature that sets this game apart from others is that the main protagonist, Link, does not speak, but rather, you hear the sound of his breath as it speeds up when you are climbing a wall or his grunts when he fights monsters. The reason behind this is later on revealed near the end of the game. Music also plays a big role in this game. While you are completing certain tasks/missions or just exploring the area, you can hear faint music in the background. The music is most apparent when there are cut-scenes and when you encounter certain individuals/monsters. The score is beautiful in my opinion and I am actually writing this review while listening to the music!    … Expand

    Breath of the Wild is a breath of fresh air for the Legend of Zelda series. From the moment Link departs the shrine of resurrection and steps onto the vast plains of Hyrule, it becomes immediately clear just how many things there are to see and do in this world.

    Let’s start with the most visible things first, the Towers. Sheikah Towers have been erected throughout the land that act as vantage points for Link to assess his current location. By climbing these towers, Link can scan his Sheikah slate into the tower’s central computer to open the regional map and plan the safest route of travel over the horizon. Combined with the paraglider, Link can mark a beacon on his map, jump from these towers and glide a fair distance towards his target. This is the best implementation of travel in a modern Zelda yet and for that reason it would not be a stretch to say the paraglider is the most useful item in the entire series.

    Speaking of the paraglider, it is needed early in Link’s adventure since he does not have the stamina to reach the lower levels of Hyrule by climbing down. To complete this objective, Link must undergo a trial given to him by the old man in the demo. This is as close as the game comes to linearity and it all happens within the opening minutes of the game. Breath of the wild simply gives you the essential tools upfront and everything thereafter is up to you.

    If Breath of the Wild has a weak point it would have to be the design of the dungeons. The dungeons this time around take place on the backs of divine beasts which were originally created to defend Hyrule but have fallen into Ganon’s control. These dungeons offer clever puzzles and boss fights that compliment their environments, but the interior walls of the dungeons all look the same. Still, it is a breath taking sight to be riding these beasts and looking out over the horizon.

    The game also features a series of mini-dungeons called shrines that double as warp points when you open them. These shrines range from tiny to medium in size and can be found scattered throughout the land, usually a fair distance apart from one another. Most shrines contain puzzles with treasure chests, but some shrines offer free treasure or a boss fight. Each shrine completed nets you a spirit orb which can be used to upgrade your hearts or stamina. These challenges are both enjoyable and necessary since weapons in your inventory will frequently break.

    In addition to shrines and towers, the game features a plethora of towns and horse stables in each region. These towns are home to some pretty interesting characters and the stables are a great place to refresh your hearts or to get helpful tips about the local region. I spent well over 300 hours trying to complete every side quest in Breath of the Wild but ultimately fell short of the required 900 Korok seeds needed to 100% the game.

    So with all that being said, Breath of the Wild is an easy 10 out of 10 and a worthy recipient for 2017 game of the year. What it lacks in dungeon design it makes up for with fresh gameplay mechanics in a living breathing world that feels more alive than it’s predecessors. Is it my favourite Zelda game? That’s hard to say. My tastes are constantly evolving but what I can say is that Breath of the Wild lived up to my expectations and I cannot wait to play the next instalment in this franchise.    … Expand

    One of the best games of the decade. Such an amazing world to explore, filled with hundreds of secrets to discover. Divine beasts are an interesting substitute for dungeons, though I wish the boss fights were more interesting at the end of said beasts. Exploration is made even more delightful given how fun it is to scale mountains, fight the weather and endure the elements.

    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]
