    L'exploration est vraiment au cœur du jeu avec juste un point de quête et débrouille toi pour y aller, c'est vraiment plaisant de joué à sa manière dans un open world qui possède son background, une ambiance et une physique très réussie. La musique sait être présente au bon moment et est toujours de qualité, les mini-boss sont nombreux à travers la carte ainsi que de bon nombre d'endroit intéressant et au panorama agréable. L'histoire, bien que toujours simple est prenante et très bien écrite avec des personnes bien développé.
    Les seuls **** défauts, c'est les sanctuaires, bien qu'ils soit intéressant et apporté quelques choses, certain sont répétitifs. De même, les donjons qui sont peu nombreux, bien qu'il soit intéressant reste moins marquant que dans les opus précédents. Quelques chutes de framerate par endroit, parfois gênante ont lieux ainsi qu'une technique qui parfois montre des limites.
    Mais pour l'importance du jeu, que sa soit pour sa série, mais aussi les idées de gameplay qu'il apporte à son genre, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild mérite sa note et son succès.    … Expand

This is one of those games that I had trouble putting down and when I beat it I wished there was more, in a good way.

    The main dungeons are fewer in number but very engaging and present challenge. There are a lot of mini-dungeons (called shrines) and finding them gets a little tedious after 80-ish but once inside the shrines they are not tedious at all. The shrines are surprisingly unique and engaging for how many of them there are. There is a lot of exploration in this game; it feels like elder-scrolls in this aspect, IMO.

    This game has breakable weapons and even the master sword requires recharging but I didn't find this frustrating. I always seemed to have enough weapons that did good damage as there are a lot of them to find. I don't see the point of it but I don't think it detracts from the game.
    Not as much music as I expected but it fits well with the mood of the game.

    I can't find a true con with this game. It's excellent.    … Expand

    A Good Impression: This was the first game I played on the switch and gave a very good impression.

    Cons:
    Endgame: You cannot keep playing after defeating the final boss. You must go back to a previous save in order to keep enjoying the world. I would have preferred some sort of postgame or the option to keep playing afterwards. (Having said that, as a sequel has now been announced, this makes more sense).

    Overall I really loved this game and it has set a very high bar for future Switch games.    … Expand

You can search for a very long time, but there isn't anything that uses all the open world ideas from our childhood like Breath Of The Wild. Do you remember how we always wanted a whole world in a game? The one with no restrictions, with no place we cannot go because going that direction is not provided by a developer. Here you can do whatever you want. One can spend hours of gameplay inside, with no constant rush because of a story. There are games which throw a player into a dissonance: here is a world to explore, please, hurry, you've got things to do. Here, the quests game gives are so unthinkable titanic you just take you time while doing them. Of course, there is no reason to pass on the game with such possibilities.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? Best game i've ever played. Just everything about this game is so good. I love the open world, the fights, the tons of details, the quests, the NPCs, their places and all these hidden things, that give us information about the timeline placement or places we know from older Zelda games. The ending is the only thing i dont like that much. The Ganon fight is pretty easy and we didnt see what happend after the ending of the game. Especially that we didnt hear a single word about the Zeldas "love" for Link she showed in the newer memories.
    But hopefully we'll get some "Hyrule after..." information or a realationship between Link and Zelda in the sequel thats been announced. Even if i dont like the ending as much as the rest, its still by far the best game for me and it always will have a special place in my heart.

    I don't even know where to begin. To me, this game is the best, most immersive, enjoyable game ever. I love that a lot of the mechanics of the game are realistic. If an enemy shoots an arrow at you and you block it with a wooden shield, the arrows sticks into the wooden shield and you can keep the arrow. If you block an arrow with a metal shield, it bounces off or shatters. I enjoy the simple stuff like that that most games don't do.

    Also, the game is so huge and immersive, it's tough to get things done because I keep wanting to check out every cave or camp I run or ride past. Even just collecting mushrooms is something I genuinely enjoy. The world they have created in this game just feels so real, interactive, complete and magically amazing.

    the only "complaint" I really have is the story. The story is solid but I liked the story in some other Zelda games better. Regardless, this does not take away from the game, in my opinion.

    If you're a Zelda fan or even just a fan of games in general, this one is an absolute masterpiece and a can't-miss. I can't stress it enough, PLAY THIS GAME!!!    … Expand

I never fought a boss and usually run pass any enemies who will eventually stop chasing you. I only fight easy enemies if they have stuff I want. So if you’re not into fighting (which this game has a lot of) you can still get away with doing very little fighting. There are a lot of other things besides fighting that you can do at a relaxing pace. This game is super long, lots of land to cover, lots of temples/puzzles to solve but definitely worth the price.

    Very fun and unique take on the open world genre. Open worlds are often repetitive and unnecessary in games but with Breath of The Wild, it is incredible. The art style especially makes it look amazing. The gameplay is also fun and at no point in the game did I think it was bad, almost all levels are extremely enjoyable and leave you wanting to explore and play more.

    Was initially hesitant due to the drastic changes with dungeons and weapon degradation, but I'm glad I finally got around to playing this. Where Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess (my previous 2 favorite Zeldas) the dungeons felt like main attractions and the overworld an afterthought, in BotW it is the reverse. And the microdungeons aren't so bad. Some of them are pretty forgettable,Was initially hesitant due to the drastic changes with dungeons and weapon degradation, but I'm glad I finally got around to playing this.

And the microdungeons aren't so bad. Some of them are pretty forgettable, some of them are pretty great, and others are minibosses that serve to test skills you'll need to hone. Not since the Witcher 3 have I felt this much wonder from just walking place to place, observing the spectacular scenery and finding new optional sidequests and secret items. And traversing and interacting with the environment are way more fun in BotW than any game before it. Most freeing game I've ever played and this is going to be the hardest game to make a sequel for that anyone's ever tried.… Expand

    It's probably the best game on the Switch right now, I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of some of the changes because it doesn't feel like a Zelda game, but on its own, it's one of the greatest games ever created.

    This is the first time I felt a game was done as if it were real life: naked, no health, no strength, no skills, no weapons, no nothing. You are alone, your health and weapons are fragile and you need to look after them. Basically you choose you path and is up to you to decide your luck.

    The open world is huuge and full of details. Visuals are beautiful and astonishing. Music perfectly appropriated for a long and lonely journey (seriously, this game needs a peaceful music, no a constant guitar riff). Fight mechanics are absolutely coherent with the idea of the game.

    In games, as food, music or any other stuff in life, there are different grades of maturity and not all pieces are enjoyable for everybody in the same degree. BOTW is a masterpiece created, designed and developed with incredible finesse. Of course, this needs a minimum effort from the player to get to understand what the game is

    The longer you play the more apparent the flaws of the game start to appear, such as the repetitiveness in looking for shrines and korok seeds, the tediousness and low rewards of some side quests, and the lack of depth in storytelling. But these only become apparent after the main story, which takes about 50 hours to complete. Those 50 hours of fun and engaging play are more than enough to make up for the game's minor downsides.

    I haven't played Fallout, any of them. I haven't played any Elder Scrolls. No other traditional 3D open-world game, besides this one. With that in mind, this may be one of my favorite games of all time.

    The graphics are quite pretty, and I feel like if they hadn't gone with cell-shaded graphics, this game wouldn't have been as easy to look at.

    This game runs not-so-great at times, particularly in Korok Forest, iirc. All I can say is, this would be a fantastic game to market alongside a Switch Pro.

    The gameplay is hard to talk about with devolving into tangents. There is nothing boring about playing this game. You can go "literally everywhere." There is a freedom to the game that could allow you to even go straight from the tutorial to the final boss and have a decent chance of winning, if you're careful and well-prepared enough. Story? Besides the final boss, all optional. Objectives? Sure, there are places you are "supposed" to go to, but the fact is that you don't have to.

    There is endless enjoyment to be had in this game. As of now I have ~350 hours logged in this game, and I would replay it again in a heartbeat.

    the best the legend of Zelda. an incredibly pleasant world, where 100 dungeons without automatic generation, which always create new tasks for you, soundtrack, combat and etc. to explore the world because of this is interesting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely perfect. After having over 120 hours on the base game, I bought the dlc, and am on my third play through, this time on master mode. With over 200 hours, you'd think I'd be bored by now, but HELL NO this game is just so perfect! This is also the perfect example of a game that doesn't need super powerful hardware to look good, sound good, control good, and just FEEL good. Buy it. You won't regret it. (For anybody stuck on master mode trial of the sword floor ten, I have a quick guide. First, shoot the lizalfos with the bow twice in the head after first stasising him. Then sneak up to one of the others, sneak strike him, then walk to the other side. He will get up, then you can just continue endlessly sneak striking both of them till they're dead. You're welcome in advance)… Expand

    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.
