    Excellent entry in the series. Nintendo finally cut the crap with this one.

    breath of the wild is a masterpiece. bringing back the non-linearity of Zelda games, this game has so much to explore. there are only 4 main dungeons, but their are 120 different mini-dungeons, shrines. this game is so non-linear you can go to ganon as soon as you start the game. with hundreds of hours of fun this game is easily one of the best games of all time.

    It was my first Nintendo game ever, and I need to say: if this what Nintendo fans call 10/10, I really feel bad about them. Almost all negative stuff that I heard about Nintendo games appeared to be true....

    Graphics 2/2- since it is Nintendo game I was ready that this game has its own style.

    Music 1/1- music was good enough to get fool credit.

    A truly incredible Zelda title with amazing graphics, music and gameplay. However, I hate how the items can break, and the lack of dungeons. It's my 2nd favorite Zelda game after Ocarina of Time.

    This is only my second Zelda game. The first one was Ocarina of Time. And the only thing i can think about it, is what i missed playing others Zelda titles.

    BOTW is amazing. It´s so fun, the art, the music, the gameplay. You can play this game for months without getting tired.

    I promise to my self to play every new Zelda game in the future.

    I’ve loved Zelda since I was a kid and I was very eager to try out this new title.
    It REALLY pains me to write the following, it’s like being heart broken. I have no hope Nintendo will listen and I know I’d be downvoted into oblivion but I’ll write anyway.

    If I had to find a word to denote this game, that would be “tedious”. How can we accomplish the goal of making this game as tedious as possible?

    First we can make a massive empty slow-paced open world. It takes an endless amount of time to traverse this, walking, running, on horse doesn’t matter. Then of course swimming, climbing etc all have to be tedious, with that stamina bar, which in Skyward Sword was almost bearable because the world was smaller but here it is not.

    Then we can make everything dependent on cooking and selling, so you are forced to collect stuff and always stop to cook (long gone is the beautiful grass with rupees and hearts...).

    Then (at least at the beginning) enemies, even low tier ones are very very dangerous and can one hit kill you. So you’ll see the game over screen again and again, and you’ll have to start over. More tediousness.

    Don’t get me started on the rain which forces you to put down the controller and wait until it goes away.

    Then we have no dungeons. Yes I know that this is not a major gripe but still, dungeons were unique and challenging places which were part of any great Zelda game, it really makes no sense they were removed completely.

    Then there’s the story...well, I get that Zelda should not be a literary masterpiece but after so many years perhaps we can get something more elaborate than what we see here. Past games like Twilight Princess or Majora’s Mask did it so why can’t this one?

    The music? Well, do you remember all those memorable songs from Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening etc? None of that is here.

    All of this, maybe just maybe, I might have been able to forgive. But of course it couldn’t stop there.
    We have to make all weapons and gear breakable after a few swings.
    This completely kills for me any sense of progression and it makes fighting a chore to the point that I would rather avoid altogether.

    It seems this game was designed for people who have hundreds of free hours to play a game and like to stare at digital landscapes. Unfortunately that person is not me and if the next Zelda game follows this template I will sadly have to skip it.    … Expand

    Great game, wasn't for me. I missed the scores from previous titles. I also found that Breath of the Wild was very hard to pick up once you'd put it down and that it could be overwhelming at times. The slower paced gameplay is also not for everyone. In general it is a great game which i have a few personal gripes with

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The controls and gameplay are some of the best I have ever seen. Botw was the first Zelda game I had ever played due to me not knowing much about the franchise but due to it getting such great reviews I decided to pick it up. I was not disappointed whatsoever. The gameplay is stellar, the world is full of puzzles and hidden NPC quests for you to complete and you are constantly finding new and exciting things. The story is quite shallow but however for what the game is about (exploring a destroyed kingdom and its remains.) the story fills its purpose. Botw was such an excellent game it managed to make me play skyward sword (it’s predecessor) and I am going to buy the Newly announced Links awakening remake.… Expand

    It's Shadow of the Colossus meets Horizon. An absolutely breathtaking endeavour with a steep learning curve. If you are put off by open-world games, give this one a try. The beginning area is difficult, but if you hang on, you will be richly rewarded. A generation definer, and a benchmark for the Zelda series.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a pleasurable experience. It provides many hours of immersive fun and a sense of discovery that is hard to find in other games. It returns the series to its roots of discovery and exploration.

It returns the series to its roots of discovery and exploration.
    The main goal the developers kept in mind during development was to give the player a sense of childlike wonder and discovery. Eiji Aonuma, the head director, wanted players to explore and discover the world at their own pace and play it how they want to. This game appeals to everyone because of the game’s goal, which was kept in mind throughout its development. The only alienating aspect of this design is that the beginning is tough relative to the rest of the game. There is a noticeable learning curve at first, and the game doesn’t do too much to help you through it. As a result, this game can alienate people that aren’t used to playing video games, but the learning curve isn’t so unfair that it pushes players away from the game.
    Open-world games launch with bugs; these bugs can either break the game or have no effect at all. Breath of the Wild is an objectively well-made game because the bugs that exist don’t prevent any mechanics from functioning. The mechanics work as intended and can be pushed to extremes. The environment has little to no visual bugs and keeps you immersed. The menus aren’t hard to navigate, and the user interface isn’t intrusive. The only major issue is that the game will occasionally drop below thirty frames-per-second in certain areas.
    The game is so massive, and the mechanics have so much depth, that it’d be hard to find someone that doesn’t enjoy at least one aspect of it. This game gives a sense of freedom that not many games are able to match. The physics engine alone gives a lot more depth and variety to the game-play than one would think; it allows for creativity when handling any situation. This makes it intellectually stimulating to do simple tasks, such as traversing the world. And the game provides all the physics tools in the beginning for use throughout the entire game.
    The game has quests and one hundred twenty physics-based puzzles scattered throughout the world, but the game shines best when you are immersed in its exploration and discovery. The content is the reward for exploring the world. It strikes a great balance between exploration and content because of this.
    The game isn’t perfect though. The story is generic and leaves much to be desired, and much of its content is shallow. Despite these negatives though, the foundation of the game is so well-made, that it is still fun. When I go back to replay this game, I don’t play it for the story or the quests, I play it for the world and its mechanics. This game succeeds in its goal to give everyone that sense of discovery that the series was originally founded upon.    … Expand

The game is not perfect however with some minor nitpicks such as the frame rate.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Legend of Zelda breath of the Wild is an amazing single player experience that must not be skipped on. Even thought it isn't perfect in every aspect (no game will ever trully be), this game makes you engage in everything you do, from killing nasty moblins to the vast cooking options you have. The world physics are the best ever seen in any game to date. But what really makes this title stand out from all other open world competitors is the cheer amount of freedom you have. Since the first time you step out of the Shrine of Resurrection nothing tells you how you are suposed to play the game. You have to figure it out yourself, with some very cleaver and smart clues hidden across the "tutorial". After you complete this "tutorial", the game advices you to go to a certain place, but nothing holds you back to just sprint immediately to the hyrulle castle and try to save Zelda.

    The down notes I have are minor, but they add up. First up, I loves the fact that we had voice acting, but in the english version there seemed to be something off with the voices sometimes. I would also like to point out that even thought I had a lot of fun with the shrines in the game, they seem to become a bit repetitive due to the lack of different art style in them.They all feel the same. The last negative point is one that a lot of people might not agree with, but I consider the 4 main dungeons (the Beasts) quite tedious. They felt weird and, again, they all had the same art style. I would have loved the salamander to be filled with lava walls and fire stuff, maybe some new fire enemies. The fact that all the bosses were pretty much the same doesn't help. And , besides the gerudo one, they were way too easy. I would have loved, for example, if we had to have fought the dead champions to free them because gannon had gained control of their body. Or fight a real salamander in the lava one, a real camel monster in the gerudo one, something along those lines.

    Concluding, this game is an absolute masterpiece, not perfect, but not too far. I can't wait what nintendo does with this concept it shows so much potencial.    … Expand

For one, it's almost always raining. If you're going to build a game on climbing as an emphasis, you can't have it rain this much. I've read arguments that it rains during specific moments to ensure that you follow a specific path, but then that takes away from the open world experience that they're trying to implement. If I'm going to play something like Ocarina of Time which restricts you from exploring places for a reason, then that's fine, but this is a different beast entirely.

    While I love the expansive and desolate world, I also feel that some people have the right to be annoyed with how empty it feels. Yes, Calamity Ganon has destroyed much of civilization in Hyrule, but then why are there so many horse stables close to the most dangerous locations? Couldn't the developers have made more of an effort to add some extra villages or towns instead so many stables? It's a repetition issue now. The problem that villages and towns feel less populated than they do in a game like Skyrim is quite alarming for a game of this magnitude and effort.

    These issues aside, because we won't even touch the minimal ending and strange continuation feature, the mechanics and core game play are fantastic. Fighting particularly feels like you need to work hard to perfect and it never feels cheap. The difficulty to this game is just right, offering a wonderful balance for all types of players, but be aware that you will die—a lot. It's less frustrating though and more of an "okay, I get what I did wrong here" type of experience when dying.

    Additionally, this game is flat out beautiful. It doesn't need to look realistic when it looks like you're playing through an animated film. The character models are mostly excellent (don't look at anyone's hands, it's a Zelda game!). The soundtrack is minimal, but done in such a fantastic way. There is little to hear in the world, until you meet certain enemies or reach certain moments. Then it all comes together and makes those experiences all the more wonderful. Plus, all of the hidden gems throughout the open world are enough for older Zelda fans to shed a tear or two along the way to sealing away the darkness.

    Breath of the Wild is certainly worth its full price tag, even without any Zelda-branded amiibos or the DLC. It's a complete game that was worth waiting for. Pick it up or you will regret it.    … Expand

    If it were possible to give a 2 word review, I'd say: "Absolutely Empty". The world feels super huge for no real purpose.

    It looks ok but not that awesome, the music is decent but forgettable, plot isn't even a plot (I wouldn't even be able to spoil anything since it has absolutely no developpment, you're given a situation and it wont change), characters are walking clichés.

    Coming to what's supposed to be the main point of this game: exploring. It just feels purposefully limited. The game wants you to explore by not giving you any precise objectives but will also prevent you from reaching some places because, well, you're still supposed to explore specific places first. Stamina, which is supposedly made to prevent you from climbing absolutely anything, just feels like a pain when it forces you to run for 3 seconds and then walk twice as much time to get it back, everything is just SO SLOW. Don't even consider riding a horse to go faster and forget about stamina, they are terribly designed and tend to get stuck for stupid reasons, such as being near a wall. You can also drown if you swim for too long, which makes sense (even though you drown after swimming up to 50 meters but eh), so if you want to move on water, there's boats ! And of course, they're also really slow and way too large to be usable, getting stuck in weird places for no reason. Fighting is very repetitive, and since it's rarely mandatory and breaks your weapon, avoiding monsters often tends to be the best thing to do. Puzzles are designed in order to be understandable by toddlers.
    Everything in the game feels slow. Dialogue is slow (and most likely useless), reaching a place is slow, climbing is OVERLY SLOW; I even got the feeling that skipping a cinematic was slow.
    It also feels like there is too much of everything. If you hide 900 Korok seeds, it's impossible to be creative in hiding all of them. If you try to create 100 different shrines with very limited ways of resolving them, they will all feel the same. Controls aren't intuitive at all, and even menus hardly make sense. You basically have a real "menu" with your equipment, saving, etc. and a second one with the map and a page that gives information about what you've gathered. Wouldn't just having one menu with everything listed in it be easier to use? This is hard to describe but it just isn't natural when you get your hands on it.

    And more importantly: There is no feel of progression through the game.

    The game also has weird technical problems. I experienced FPS drops a bunch of times on a brand new Switch in Dock Mode (which sounds like the most powerful way to run this game atm), and really long loading screens.    … Expand

With stunning vistas, huge mountains, open plains, it all feels so empty and find myself just trudging along hoping to discover a new shrine because those are the only things that are at least challenging.

The world is almost perfect with one of the most ingenious tutorial locations I have ever seen. The world is crafted in such a way that exploration is mandatory, many mountains and trees will block your view which forces the player to seek out natural vantage points such as mountains or towers to map out and find points of interest or paths. Surprisingly, this does not make the player stray too far from the path because objective markers show where the objective is on the map, but not how to get there (only for main quest). This further emphasises exploration since it makes the player form their own routes to objectives instead of following a pre-determined path allowing them to make their own adventures and get caught up in various discoveries along the way. Along your travels you can discover any or all of the 120 shrines that contain puzzles to be completed in return for spirit orbs that can be exchanged for your choice of heart containers or stamina vessels, any or all of the 900 environmental discovery/experimentation korok seeds that can be exchanged for inventory space, 76 side quests that can be of collection, extermination, or recovery types that have varying rewards, 42 shrine quests that usually require the player to solve riddles or use small amounts of dialogue to discover shrines (these are included in the 120 spoken of previously), 12 memories that provide more depth to the story and are found in locations around the map, and some other random things . Of course none of this is required, if the player chooses to go straight to the final boss without doing any of this they can though they will likely one hit killed. Combat is also great, the game does not use perks instead it requires the player to learn their enemies attacks and read when you dodge and attack appropriately. Weapons do have attack power attached to them but the fact that your weapons eventually break from use it causes you to experiment with other weapons but also approach each encounter with a plan of attack. There are four dungeons in this Zelda game, but they are not as diverse or complex as previous games. The build up to each one is exciting and really keeps your attention but once inside they all emit the same aesthetic, although the interactive dungeon map is an interesting aspect that could really be a welcome addition to the series the dungeons over all are good but not great,but in no way truly subtract or take away from the overall game. Breath of the wild is an awesome game that everyone should atleast try out for themselves 10/10.… Expand

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild delivers a satisfyingly beautiful presentation on scale, world building, story, gameplay, and design. Most of my gripes are buggy graphics and such that have more to do with the Switch's shortcomings as opposed to the games'. And even gripes that are the game's fault are done purposefully to make the game better. If you play this game you will certainly not be disappointed.

    That was the short version, long version of why this game is awesome along with a plot synopsis will continue now.

    Synopsis: A century before the game begins, the peaceful kingdom of Hyrule was attacked by an evil entity known as Calamity Ganon, who is the game's version of the usual Zelda villain Ganondorf. Princess Zelda and her knight Link, fight the evil Ganon but lose, and Link barely escapes with his life. He's placed in a bed of water inside a cave for a hundred years and when he wakes up with no memory of what happens, he has to fight to defeat Calamity Ganon and his minions to purge Hyrule of its darkness.

    Okay so first the plot. I'm not too familiar with the canon storyline of Zelda, but from what I've heard the game's storyline is completely original, at least in its structure. I really like how it got the elements of Zelda's story and broke them up into little parts and built up in its own unique way.

    And surprisingly enough for such a simplistic children's story of good versus evil, it's very compelling. Link's memories become somewhat of a mystery and how he is in a world he has to defend but not remember becomes very interesting. Sure the whole "You don't remember me but you should" angle from almost every NPC becomes pretty flat, but I'll admit that its very compelling.

    What limits the stories RPG elements such as the bog standard story and robotic NPCs are pretty much forgotten. I mean, the game is just genius. The music is atmospheric and engaging, what should make the game boring and forgettable such as the conventions of video game RPGs and fantasy instead make the game more classic. The combat sticks to the average shift and strike sort of method

    but still remains very very fun. There were times when I was on the edge of my seat, just slamming the respawn button to get back at an enemy who defeated me.

    Speaking of which, this game does not treat you like a baby. It doesn't hold your hand through a two hour tutorial, the handling of mechanics is very straightforward, and most of all the difficulty. On a scale between a Disney Channel online game and Dark Souls, Breath of the Wild is somewhere in the middle. It's easy enough that you can progress without being a hard core gamer, but hard enough

    to want you to keep getting stronger.

    Likewise, there's something here for everyone. Hard core RPG fans can enjoy the rich worldbuilding and character design. Fantasy nuts can really enjoy the brilliantly created setting. And people who like fighting games can enjoy the very fun combat angle which is a very refined system which is based both on the player's skill and items. Everyday people who aren't too into gaming and just want to escape for a little can enjoy how investing the gorgeous graphics of the game are.

    My gripes actually have reasons for them existing. I really don't like how weapons can break because its annoying to get a really cool or powerful weapon just for it to break to seconds later. However it prevents players from creating an OP build and flying through the game. I also don't like how the loading screen had awkwardly scratchy transitions and how riding at full gallop on a horse can make the bottom part of the screen sort of have an annoying 'ghost effect'. Again, this is the Switch's fault, not the game's.

    Another gripe I have is the reliance on more powerful weapons as opposed to skill. To defeat stronger bosses you just need better arrows, which can be bought with the game's currency rupees. But this is just pretty tedious, grinding away at weaker enemies and selling their drops to exchange them for arrows.

    Again this can be blamed on the simple fact that the game is an RPG, grinding is a simple facet of every role playing game. But it also limits the game heavily, you kill monsters to get drops, you sell drops to get rupees and spend rupees to buy arrows which defeat stronger enemies. You spend rupees on arrows pretty much. While limiting, I prefer this to simply having a purely skill based system which obligates newer players to just give up instead of grind when they reach an area of the game with too strong a boss.

    I've never wanted to play a game that I hoped never ended except for this one. And when I finish it, I will probably play it again and again. And if you try it, you probably will too.    … Expand

    weapons break after a few swings , even bows , making most weapons just throw away things you collect all the time because you keep running out of them , arrows cant be farmed as much as you want , arrows enemies shoot arent obtainable after a set amount , shops dont restock once you are over a certain amount

    the base game is so short it can be beaten in a few hours , theres only 4 areas , which are short , instantly throw a boss in your face and then rinse and repeat until you beat them all , or you just realize you can go straight to the final boss and it wont make a difference, as you just have to fight the weak bosses there instead , but are able to skip the annoying stuff before them , the final boss himself is a joke as well , i had like 5 hearts and no good equipment when i first beat him    … Expand

    Son tantos los detalles que se pueden llegar a ver que llega a ser hasta abrumador (en el buen sentido).

Es cierto que la oración anterior no es más que retórica y podría decirse de cualquier otra obra, pero tal afirmación se reafirma en hechos. Veámoslo.
    i) Es un reinventarse, coger una saga histórica, darle la vuelta y ofrecer algo nuevo. Es difícil, muchas veces, que este movimiento salga bien, pero Zelda BOW lo consigue y con creces. Quien podría imaginarse que esta saga podría acabar siendo el exponente central del género "mundo abierto" (siendo generalistas y asumiendo que tal cosa es un género de por sí). Y es que la apertura no es de pega, no es un mero velo, es el alma y la esencia del juego. Apertura de espacio y de posibilidades. Entendamos la historia, los santuarios, las hadas, las mazmorras etc. como un ir de x a y. No hay un mero decidir en ir de (x a y) (ir hacia un santuario, por ejemplo) o de (x a y´) (ir hacia una mazmorra, por ejemplo), si no que dentro del camino "a" o del camino "b", hay a su vez una apertura tal que para realizar ("x a y" o "x a y´") se establecen a su vez caminos secundarios que me dan la posibilidad de resolver el camino por medios infinitamente diversos y con resultados también distintos. Y aún dentro del objetivo (entendiendo "y" como aquello a lo que se quiere llegar) la resolución del conflicto interno se puede hacer de maneras dispares y complejas. Imaginación, destreza, habilidad, experiencia. Para concluir este punto, hay un verdadero mundo abierto, y no un simple decidir caminos.
    ii) Es muy rico en matices y lleno de textos que se van entrelazando. Los habitantes de Hyrule parecen tener vida, se refugian de la lluvia, se calientan en hogueras, descansan, comercian y un largo etc. todos tienen sus preocupaciones y problemas lo que enriquece y es un buen modo de asignar las tareas secundarias. Amplitud de misterios, de tesoros, de santuarios. Es un juego ingente y completarlo en su "todo" es una tarea para pocos. Jugable, compartible, sorprendente en cada rincón del mapa, cuasi infinito. En definitiva, un juego para aquel que guste de sorprenderse con las cosas, que guste de tratar con lo ente por el mero tratar, y también para aquellos que gusten de sorprenderse con los misterios, los detalles, los juegos de puzles.
    iii) La historia es buena y se enlaza con lo anterior. El tejido central se mezcla con lo anterior dicho y convirtiendo al juego en una pura máquina de experiencias. El problema de esto es que a veces parece no haber un objetivo final como tal, acentuado con el hecho de que "nunca" se resuelve el problema con Ganon. Esto último tampoco es mayor inconveniente (al menos para mi) pues todo se soluciona, insisto, aceptando que es un juego para quien quiera tratar con las cosas sin necesidad de establecer universales ni valores más allá de todo lo que ofrece para hacer con y para el mundo que se genera al rededor nuestro. El castillo es un elemento más, pero que elemento, del punto ii. Casi es más, el castillo, por sus propios secretos que por acabar con Ganon. Y es un buen enfoque. Romper con la idea del inicio-final y hacer del juego un eterno retornar a él. Yo, a día 10/12/2018, sigo aún volviendo y jugando. Perdiéndome en su inmenso mapa y a veces solo con ese fin, con el de perderme.
    iv) No tiene el 10 por mi parte. ¿Por qué si he dicho tales cosas? Porque las mazmorras, pecando quizá de la apertura de posibilidades, se hacen menos ricas que en anteriores entregas de la saga, pienso por ejemplo en el Ocarina. Pero es un punto que no desmerece todo lo anterior. Este es para mí el camino a seguir y el modo de replantear una saga. Rompiendo de nuevo otro mito y es el de que lo bien hecho no debe mancharse ni tocarse. A veces hay que destruir las cosas y recomenzar para dar un salto exponencial. En este caso tal salto, tal ponerse en el filo de la navaja, ha dado resultado.
    v) P.D: Es un juego para todos y para nadie. Y esto último es lo que hace que exista tanta controversia a su alrededor. Todo el mundo puede jugar a él, con él, pero no todo el mundo caerá enredado en su vasta multiplicidad. Ser consciente de todo lo que supone permite disfrutarlo en todas sus dimensiones. Pero no a todos acaba gustando su ritmo o esencia, y es legítimo. Aún así, y sobre todo los fans de la saga, encandilará a la mayoría.    … Expand

    Cocinar, mejorar la ropa, cambiarla de color, coleccionar armas, hacer fotos, resolver las capillas... todo es un gran viaje y una gran experiencia.
    Tras jugar una partida juegas una segunda con la experiencia personal afianzada, y en esta ya te lanzas a por el 100% del juego disfrutándolo de otra manera.
    Y cuando todo acaba consigues el pack de ampliación y vuelves a jugarlo. Y entonces, tiempo después, cuando ya no te acuerdas casi de él, algo te lo recuerdas y empiezas una nueva partida.
    Las físicas están bien resueltas (definiendolo pobremente) y te permite hacer cosas que ni te imaginabas. Los gráficos no son hiper-realistas, pero no es que cumplan, es que son una maravilla. El mundo suena de maravilla y la música, aunque poco frecuente, cumple de maravilla (ese piano que anuncia un caminante te pone frenético cada vez que salta).
    Y, encima, lo puedes jugar en el metro.
    En resumen, una maravilla. Un cambio de rumbo a la altura de Ocarina o Windwaker.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Zelda game, and possibly may be the one to go on par with Ocarina Of TIme. Beautiful gameplay, more strategic as the weapons and armour matters. Glad that Link flexes as he's half-naked and Paya's embarrassed. Champions are interesting but honestly, the elements should be water for Mipha, air for Revali, earth for Daruk and fire for Urbosa. Don't mind it that much tho. Pretty neat abilities from Urbosa. The reason this tops Ocarina of TIme for me is that this converges the timeline as it should be. Overall, 11/10 would love again… Expand

    This is objectively the single best game Nintendo ever put out. The world is large, lived in, yours to explore. The map doesn't constantly annoy you with side missions like in other open world games and all characters have a story to tell. By the way the lore is awesome and fun to go through. Good Job Nintendo.

    In the starting area " great plateau" there is endless amounts of things to do and it feels huge! I climbed a mountain to find a shrine and it felt like such a journey. I felt accomplishment something you rarely feel on video games these days.
    This has to be without a doubt game of the year, and as my experience with the game continues i feel like it could possibly be the best game ever made.

    The world is beautiful.The game is one of the most fun games I've played all year.I couldn't put it down.The music is beautiful and the game mechanics that allow for so much creativity just blew me away.The only downside is the dungeons and music is not as good as previous titles,but the combat makes up for it.10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Breath of the Wild is Nintendo's swing at the open world genre, using one of their most recognizable IPs "The Legend of Zelda". In terms of scope and size Breath of the Wild is Breathtaking (Pun Intended), the dynamic locations, cultures, and areas are truly something to be admired and praised. BotW also includes several callbacks OoT in locations and music. The gameplay is also a step forward, opting for a controversial yet innovative durability system for the weapons, shields, and bows. The graphics and art style are also unique and look great for a handheld experience. The story also has many moments that are tear-jerking and emotional. As an adventure game BotW works on many levels, innovating from the traditional Zelda gameplay and tropes.

    However, BotW is not free from criticism as there are numerous flaws that appear the longer the game goes on. The first glaring issue is the music, from a series that has created some of the best soundtracks in the industry; BotW opts for a more minimalist approach and in my opinion, it doesn't work at all. While older Zelda games have memorable jingles and melodies, BotW comes off as boring and lethargic. That's not to say the entire soundtrack is garbage, some battle scores are quite good. It's just that a large amount of the soundtrack is unforgettable and lacks in character. The story while admirably non-linear in its approach, is also lacking on several levels. It seems that most of the impactful moments in the story happened 100 years before Link was awoken at the beginning of the game. Some characters are interesting, and Link's dead girlfriend is certainly worth a mention. However, the cast of characters presented here are a step back from the other past titles in the series. This brings me to my largest critique the overworld. BotW's progression system is based on shrines which are scattered across Hyrule, there are 120 in total. The issue with these shrines is that they all look the same in design. Instead of a colorful thematic dungeon design, these shrines are aesthetically the same and after 5-6 of them, they begin to feel like an absolute drag. With this large interesting landscape, the lack of things to do and activities inhabiting it, turns the large expansive world of Hyrule into one large, uninspired, sandbox. While that might seem a little harsh, I do believe that this game and concept is one that should absolutely be built upon. There is a 10/10 game hidden somewhere inside here, I'm just not seeing the perfect masterpiece everyone else is.    … Expand

    First 10 i give, and its for a reason. This game is amazing, its been a long time since we've had a game this good. The emchanism of the game are on point, the graphics are really original as a realistic cartoon type. The story is always so good, what legend of zelda has a bad storyline ? The gameplay is very insane, even a zelda game hater would love it. I completely recommend it.

    This Zelda is for sure completely different in regards to past core games in the series. Very open world and takes lots of exploration. The main dungeons and puzzle solving has been split up into mini versions call shrines and will take about 5-10 mins per one.

Even the main divine beast dungeons will take 30 mins max for any veteran Zelda player. Overall it is a nice change of pace being able to do any thing you want. Even if you become a master at it you can go and fight Ganon straight away. There are a variety of side quests to keep you busy. You'll probably find yourself going to a target location to only find yourself side tracked with things you find along the way. You will find yourself having to hoard weapons as they do break often. I didn't really have a problem with that as you come across plenty to have in your inventory. One big problem is the rain and how it hinders your progression from climbing anything in the game. Overall the gameplay is pretty tight. Music department is pretty much just a relaxing tone through the entire game. I did enjoy most of the music and I recommend checking out the OST if you get a chance. Story is pretty interesting and the first Zelda game to have full force voice acting. The voice acting isn't top notch but isn't terrible either. All in all it was a joyful experience and some what of a memorable one. I ended up with over 100 hours in the game within a six month period.… 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.
