    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the best video games ever made, personally, I think it’s the the second.

It’s outstanding open world is the center of everything around it: the story is spread around it so you have to explore in order to find it, the collectibles are fun mini games, the combat es challenging and rewarding at first and a bit too easy towards the end, and technically it’s outstanding, the art direction is the best one I have ever seen and the piano music fits perfectly with the sense of being an adventure. As a conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is 10 out of 10 game that just three years after it’s release it’s already a classic.… Expand

    Probably the (or one of the) best game of all time, idk why it recieves so much hate, just try it and make your own opinion really, if you go in with a clear mind, there's no way you'll hate it! (Provided you like this kind of game)

    The logic mechanics tells you that you could do something in several and very differents ways.

    If you´ve got a NSW, you must at least try this game.

    When I played the first few minutes of this game, I got bored. I was confused where to go and didn't know what to do. But once I figured it out I was hooked. The graphics are OUTSTANDING and she story sucks you in making you feel like you are really there. There are many different places to explore, weapons to get and puzzles to solve. Easy 10/10!

The game gives you a sense of reward for exploration and completing puzzles or fights which all add up to a great gaming experience. The story is one of the greatest i have ever seen, yet barely any dialogue is spoken. It tells you everything about what happened 100 years ago with the fall of Hyrule by just walking around, all of the ruins and destroyed Guardians speak more than anyone you actually speak to. Every shrine you complete gives you a sense of accomplishment, that is so satisfying, because you feel like you have overcome a challenge. There is so much adventure to be had that no matter what direction you go, you are getting one step closer to winning. I always hated puzzle games, and i thought this would be another washed up puzzle RPG. BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE. You ARE Link, you ARE living in Hyrule. This game is so immersive, so breath taking, that you can't help but love it. Everyone in the game has their own personality, and everyone seems like and important person to talk to.All of this adds to an experience unlike any other that is sure to make you want to play again and again, no doubt, if you have a switch and don't have this game, shame on you.… Expand

    The game gives a variety of challenges and interesting exploration. While it's difficult without usual quest navigations and TIPs, the uniqueness of the world allows you to bypass any concerns and give you the interest to explore that more and more.
    I was always expecting to find some secret places.

    You have to try this game if you perceive yourself as a gamer.

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

    My favorite game of all time. 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.

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

Nintendo’s managed to craft a game that feels completely unique while still keeping the tried-and-true Zelda feel at its core. 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. Surely, it’s a game that will be treasured for generations.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game deserves every single award you can give it multiple people (mostly users) are giving it zeros, probably trolls but if any of them are serious, you really would like Sonic Rise of Lyric. This game has taken every single part of the current Zelda games and threw it out the window. It feels like it came out this year and it's amazing, graphics are really cool and they added in multiple features to the game that you cannot find anywhere else in the Zelda franchise, for example, you have multiple weapons and each one breaks after a certain amount of hits, meaning you have to switch mid-combat and fight with that weapon, as difficulty goes, of course, there is a singular difficulty setting unless you buy the DLC and get Master Mode, then the entire game is much harder, I am pointing this out because it has an interesting way of making sure you don't go anywhere someone new shouldn't like if you get too close to Hyrule Castle you'll be toe to toe with a guardian, and if you're fresh off the great plateau you're gonna run and be away from Hyrule Castle but if you've gained the Master Sword and ancient arrows your gonna beat that thing up and continue on your journey. My first ten minutes off of the great plateau were running away from guardians. The open-world concept is something that fans will love! There are many easter eggs for those who have played past games and there are many ways someone new can learn the combat system, the game actually has voice actors for some of the characters (not including Link) and it's amazing how good it is, you can go at any pace and can even choose to just barge into Hyrule Castle and beat up Ganon right off the great plateau. All considered The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is for open-world gamers that like exploring and combat. If you have a switch, PLAY IT.… Expand

    Does it have it's issues? Of course, severe lack of story, items breaking too quickly, frame rate drops, and half-assed voice acting are the things that bugged me the most. The story really left me wanting more. Characters often speak of the epic battle that took down Hyrule's strongest warriors 100 years ago, but you never get to see any of the battle. It really was a missed opportunity, but I'm happy to see Nintendo is going all in after the new Hyrule Warriors announcement. Items breaking too quickly sucks, especially because stasis uses weapon durability which makes me hate having to use it for shrines. The frame rate does drop during larger battles and bomb arrows in particular caused turbulence. Although it's definitely noticeable it isn't game breaking and after all you are playing a console quality game on handheld so I let it slide. My final criticism is the voice acting. I felt like it feels extremely out of place. Nintendo should have either left voice acting out of the game or made every word voice acted. Instead they decided to just give the story cut scenes voice acting. It feels very out of place and breaks immersion completely.

    However, those are minor details when you just look at how incredibly fun and exciting this game really is. The combat is wonderful, there is an almost endless amount of things to do, and the art style and music are wonderful. The combat is very fun. I really liked how there aren't any big gimmicks. You don't focus on stealth or have any major special abilities, you kind of just get to whack guys with swords and I really liked it. The amount of content in this game is incredible. There are so many side quests, shrines, and koroks you could easily play this for hundreds of hours. I also really liked the art style. It has this really pretty cell shaded look with bright colors that pop. The animations and character models are all on point too. I know that there are some criticisms when it comes to the music that I can understand, but I personally feel like it fits the game perfectly.

    What this game does so perfectly though is exploration and freedom of choice. There are very few things that this game requires you to do. You just have to beat the tutorial and beat Gannon. Sure there are the divine beasts that are the intended way to play the game, but you don't need to if you don't want to. You get to do what you want to do. And I think that that's what makes this game so good. You want to go over to that shrine over there? Do it or don't. I'm not your mom, I don't care. You want to talk to that guy and help him? Okay go ahead, or don't. You want to explore those mountains? Sure, go ahead. You get to do what you want, when you want, and how you want. And that's why this game is so special, it is pure freedom and I love it.

    This game is a must play by my standards. 10/10    … Expand

    There is not a single thing that this game lets it go by. The story is amazing, the gameplay is lushy, the soundtrack is art. And if you still thinks that it lacks something, I'm sure that the DLCs will live up to fill that.

    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.
