    10/10, es un 10 cuando no lo juegas, el hecho de entrar y luego salir es la mejor experiencia que puedes tener en un videojuego , recomiendo no jugar nada mas que entrar y salir al instante , una experiencia sublime

It is ripe with exploration where it really feels like you can do whatever you want however you want, and it truly rewards this experience with such a variety of content that it is impossible to come across it all without sinking hundreds of hours into the game. The combat and collecting is excellent and well-made and the story fits the theme and settings perfectly. Everything has so much character and charm that it really feels like everything single thing in the game was maticuously crafted. Combat rewards you by trying multiple things or just the standard slice-and-dice, meaning you never really feel like you are forced into doing one thing or going one place. The soundtrack is fantastically scored and really helps set the mood for combat while acting as a gameplay indicator for when you are spotted and by what. Playing this on the Switch even the graphics are still great, and the art style pops extremely well on the OLED Switch. In fact, I am doing a full playthrough again on it just to experience it once more.There is pretty much nothing that I can objectively that is wrong with the game... But I will admit personally my time had a few frustrating areas. I prefer linear games because I like to be guided, and prefer to have choices limited in where to go and what to do with my combat options being freeform and open. An example of a game that I felt did this well was The Last of Us 2. And for me, personally, Breath of the Wild was too open for me. I ended up abandoning a lot of important stuff and side quests because I simply didn't know what to do or how to approach it, and I wandered a lot and got lost quite often which was more frustrating for me. Even the cooking was overwhelming for me trying to figure out ingredients and I kept hoarding items the entire game I never got use out of because I didn't know what to do. Now that I've beaten the game I feel with a guide I will enjoy trying to 100% this game or at least do a lot more, but I can't say I had that fascination and wonder that everyone else had because this isn't my type of game. But that doesn't mean I can't see how good it is. Like a movie critic who hates romanctic comedies, they can still appreciate the talent, hard effort, and skill even if they don't like the genre. Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is the perfect open-world game, and even if it wasn't a game for me, I still enjoy purely for the skill that it took to make it and I look forward to beating the second one with eager delight.… Expand

One of the best Zelda games ever made, I love it everything and for me the only cons are the durability of the weapons which can be a little frustrating but other than that is a beautiful well made game.

    It's a 9.5 but i'm rounding up. It's in my top 3 Zelda games, and i've spent more hours on it than any other Zelda game i've ever played. One of the only drawbacks is the lack of traditional dungeons. There's 4 sort-of dungeons, and really they are dungeons, but... you'll understand why they don't feel like a dungeon when you play them. They're not thematically different from one another,It's a 9.5 but i'm rounding up. It's in my top 3 Zelda games, and i've spent more hours on it than any other Zelda game i've ever played. One of the only drawbacks is the lack of traditional dungeons. There's 4 sort-of dungeons, and really they are dungeons, but... you'll understand why they don't feel like a dungeon when you play them. They're not thematically different from one another, for one. Understandably, they couldn't do much in the way of varying creativity since the game is 100% open world, and you have to be able to play those dungeons at any given time you choose.
    But I believe there HAS to be a way to have more creativity and have traditional dungeons that can also be played in any order. So it gets a mark down for that.

    The weapons mechanic works perfectly as designed. You'll never run out of good weapons, the land is littered with them. So no fears on your weapons breaking eventually. Break them, the game will replenish them for you, you just have to go fetch them. What this does is that it incentivises you to re-explore areas where the weapons sleep, or find new places where others are yet to be discovered.
    Without the breaking mechanic you would never have a want or desire or need to explore new areas and mini-dungeons. You'd be comfortable with that one Super-power weapon carrying you through the whole game if it never broke. So there's a good reason.
    That said.
    Even though it worked as intended and it DID enhance my enjoyment after all...
    I still don't prefer this.
    I would like a different incentive to explore dungeons other than "cuz my swords keep breaking."
    The incentives should be how cool certain weapons are, materials that enhance your weapons, literally anything that's craftsmanship related. There is a problem with this in that it breaks the game's difficulty into making it easy if you keep your weapons forever and you keep enhancing it through craft, but games like Skyrim have shown ways to deal with that, a game that BotW shares many things in common with already. Another incentive is simply obtaining many different ways of achieving the same goals for the sake of it just being cool. Magic as another weapon would've been cool, which is a game mechanic that is sorely missed in recent Zelda games. Ocarina used to employ magic, like expelling walls of fire. So the point is, while the weapon-breaking mechanic works, and did enhance my gameplay... I strongly prefer alternatives and it never ever feels good seeing your weapons break. It sucks.
    .
    Story is good. This is one of the best incarnations of the Princess. Top 2? She doesn't top Ocarina's Zelda. It's hard to top a character whose alter-ego is a bad-ass ninja that was later split into two separate selectable characters of the same person in Smash Bros. But BotW's Zelda has such personality, and is fleshed out more in this game. She's very proactive in her scenes.
    But the story overall is sparse. Needs improvement for the next installment.

    But everything else is sublime. The exploration, discovery, the survival element... the food mechanic, the scavenging... the glorious difficulty... and the sandbox playground of playing things however you want is liberating. You can even solve puzzles in many ways that weren't even intended. You can get really creative with thinking outside the box to solve them. For example: A movable labyrinth where you guide a ball through the maze in order to find the exit. OR.... force the physics to launch the ball in the air, flip the labyrinth upside down to where its underside is all a flat plane, and catch the ball on that side, then simply slide it off into the designated goal. That's just fun feeling so clever because you cheated the system. And that's just a sample.

    This game gets your brain on and in the zone. It's also peaceful and relaxing. The vistas are beautiful, and you feel like you're really out in the wild, braving the elements.
    While it's not the same traditional experience of previous Zeldas where its linearity allowed for a more tailored story-centric experience, it allows for absolute freedom to go wherever you want to go whenever you want, and it eliminates the problems of "getting stuck" in a game since you can simply move on somewhere else. Overall, as someone who'se very critical of my Zeldas, this is one of the best Zelda games ever made and maybe my 3rd or 2nd favorite.    … Expand

Finally, the length of the whole experience helps BOTW rather than hurts it since the world never feels boring and there is always so much to do. It takes an incredibly long time to run out of shrines to solve or side quests to hammer away at, and the addictive gameplay and near-infinite possibilities give BOTW excellent replayability. Overall, BOTW deserves a 10/10 for exceeding all standards for a Zelda game and transforming the standard Zelda formula into something unexpected.… Expand

    The only downside of this game is that the game cannot be played after the last boss has been killed, because I want to continue playing the game so bad. The game is overall relaxing in visual, audio and overall vibes. Wandering around, hunting, fishing, climbing, gliding in different types of nature - making the re-playability of this game 10 out of 10.

With breakable weapons, I can light my spear on fire and throw it into an enemies camp to blow up explosives near the enemies. Letting me treat weapons as disposable led to significantly more fun combat experiences. As some reviewers have said it may have been a good idea to give the player one final unbreakable weapon at the end of the game, but that's nowhere near a big enough problem to detract a point.

    The combat is amazing. It's not like a normal combat system. You don't just slash your way to victory- a smart player needs to use the environment. Distracting enemies with an explosion near them while you sneak up from behind, setting the grass on fire to create an updraft and then flying up to take a camp of enemies from above, and pushing enemies off cliffs with magnetic boxes were just a few of ways the physics system allows for creative ways of fighting.

    But the best moments in Breath of the Wild isn't the intense strategic combat but the moments where subtle piano queues played as the sun rose and I looked off a cliff to the beautiful scenery. It's truly the negative space in this game that makes it the masterpiece that it is.

    A good game can make it fun to do something in its world. A masterpiece is one that makes it fun to do nothing.    … Expand

    Took me two whole years to beat this game because I simply didn't want it to end. It's the very definition of a system-seller game, and I couldn't imagine a better console to play it on. My 60+ hours were spent on the TV, lying in bed, on my breaks at work, on an airplane... Wherever I was, I always felt at peace with the world they gave me to discover.

    I love the cell-shaded graphics.    Took me two whole years to beat this game because I simply didn't want it to end.

Wherever I was, I always felt at peace with the world they gave me to discover.

    I love the cell-shaded graphics. Like most other Zelda entries, I think the art style will prove to be timeless and never really look dated. The open-world "choose your own order" was such a fantastic change in the formula that I'm very close to saying this is the best Legend of Zelda game. It has the full scope of the original NES game but with the mechanics of later entries, and some of the best storytelling the franchise has ever had. The only thing that really holds it back as my favorite entry, is that the bosses felt too easy and didn't require enough strategy. In fact, my favorite aspect of the previous Zelda games was aquiring new items and using them in specific ways to defeat the bosses. Breath of the Wild definitely compensates for this by having updated combat, a larger arsenal of breakable weapons, and the slate abilities, and it's more than rewarding in the context of the game. Breakable weapons and shields was a bit annoying at first, but I think it made the experience more strategic, and the game would've been far too easy if they didn't break. I did make it my goal to get the rechargable Master Sword as soon as possible, so that could be why I'm easier on the mechanic than others. But it consequently hinders the boss battles, which feel more like a family-friendly Dark Souls that require nothing more than patience and well-placed dodges, as opposed to the classic Zelda bosses that felt more like solving an evolving puzzle.

    That was my only disappointment though. The exploration reached an unprecedented height. The story was grim and somber, but also contemplative and occasionally triumphant. The music is beautifully understated; a pretty rare treat when most games have such bombastic scores. Every character and location shined drastically in their own way. It was a joy to lose myself in Hyrule again, and I can't wait to return for Breath of the Wild 2.    … Expand

    Nintendo tries for the first time a Zelda open world video game and they perfect it. Starting off with the best tutorial in video games by opening up an area in the middle of the map and expanding from it. No longer is a player attached to the ground but you can climb anything and glide from it. If you can see it, you can reach it, if you can think it, you can do it.

    Las batallas fueron entretenidas, pero nada extraordinario, depende mucho de las armas y objetos que utilices, ya es cuestión de la creatividad e ingenio de cada uno.
    Por ultimo tengo que decir que conforme iba avanzando el juego poco a poco iba sintiendo la experiencia de "héroe" como si uno mismo encarnará a Link.

    There is no game that is more fun to explore. To just get lost in the world. There are so many options for traversal, and so many unique locations with so much to discover. I love how the game lets you do whatever you want. It doesn't force you in any direction, or gate off access to some locations with overpowered enemies. Once you beat the tutorial, the game just says "go". And that's what you do.

    If you play games for story, this might not be your style. If you play games for varied and diverse boss and dungeon design, like previous games in the series had, then this might not be for you. But if you play games for the sense of adventure, for the feeling of pioneering a journey through an unforgettable world, if you've ever wanted to travel a vast and beautiful kingdom on your own; if you've EVER wanted to go on an adventure, there's no game that does it better than this.
