I give it a 10 because it met and far exceeded my expectations and the value of the game has paid for itself tenfold. Combat was much to my liking with it rewarding your prowess the more you practiced and studied patterns. Not only that, three years later and this game still seems to give unlimited options on how to approach things. Exploration was put on the forefront and I spent countless hours (well 415+ according to my profile) running around and just enjoying the sights and sounds. Sound design is immaculate and I found this game just as much an aural delight as it was a visual one. Replay value is amazing as you can try different tactics and challenge yourself in a variety of ways. Nintendo didn't do anything ground-breaking on its own but somehow managed to take all the good things from other open world games and improve upon them immeasurably all in this one gem. This is game truly sets you free and the freedom it gives has likely ruined other games for me where I want to have the same freedom but will probably now feel very caged and restricted. Also, the music in this game was perfectly arranged and fit the nature and style to a tee. This is as good as it gets.… Expand

    What a way to be introduced to the series.

    The good:
    - beautiful presentation
    - amazing sense of freedom
    - the physics make interacting with the world so much fun
    - the world is varied and full of secrets
    - shrines offer easy but enjoyable puzzles

    The bad:
    - despite being fun the combat is a bit rough around the edges
    - boss fights were underwhelming
    - forgettable story

    One of my favourite games ever! The gameplay, combat, cutscenes and dlc are near-perfect! And some people have a problem with the story but in my opinion, I really liked it! maybe because this is my first Legend of zelda game, also the soundtracks in this game is the best soundtracks i have ever heard! Nintendo, Good job! Continue on this path! I can't wait for the prequel and sequel!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game experience I have ever had in my life. Breath of the Wild is something else; way different from the other series. I got this game around 10 months ago, and I have already beat the game twice. This game definitely contains things from the other Zelda games, but one thing it has in it that makes it so good is... open world.

    Now when you look at any other Zelda game, none of them are really open world and let you get to do whatever you want to. This however, is different. The open world in this game makes it SO GOOD. The map is huge; with plenty to explore and go collect all of the shrines.

    Now the story is very good. From starting out at the plateau, to beating Ganon, there is a story to lead you on your way and do whatever you want between. Heck, you can go strait to Ganon if you want. There is lots of quests and little cutscenes through the game.

    My favorite part were all of the villages. I loved at first exploring and finding the many villages and talking to the NPC's. I loved to do all of the side quests and the Divine Beasts. We also can't forget about the DLC.

    Master Mode is great. It gives a nice extra challenge that will have you a hard time. No more Red Bokoblins or anything. Monsters and bosses also regenerate health, and that makes it even more hard.

    The Champion's Ballad is also great. Finding and rebeating all of the bosses was really fun to do. You get to do mini-challenges on your way to fighting all the Blights' again. Then, you get faster regens on the powers which is nice. The One-Hit-Obliterator was also a blast. It was definitely a challenge, but it was awesome. Also the 5th Divine Beast was cool. Monk Maz Koshia was probably the hardest boss at the end. But at least you get a cool bike after you finish him.

    The Master Trials are really fun. The around 50 stages are very fun and also challenging to complete. Each stage gets harder and you have to use only the resources around you.

    There is so much more to this game than what I said in this simple review. Definitely worth the money and can't wait for the sequel.    … Expand

    至今还有一堆支线任务没有清，争取在旷野之息2出来之前回去打掉。

I’ve learned to finesse the joystick a bit more over time, but it distracts me from the gameplay at times, and other times I still end up crawling on accident. I would still give this game a 10. But, it may be better played with a different controller, maybe the pro controller(I don’t have one), and this may want to be considered before buying the game, especially if you mash hard on your joystick.… Expand

The premise is so cool and the characters are great too. I also love the exploring and travelling aspect of the game. All the villages are so unique and cool with their own aesthetics and resources that you may need. Finding all the special horses and exploring the map is also very fun even though it's probably considered an optional aspect of the game.

There’s so much to do in one save file, let alone multiple. There’s many ways to play the game and you can challenge yourself with infinite new ways to play the game. Maybe you want to do a shrine-less run, or not beat any of the Divine Beasts, great. If the game is too easy for you, try out Master Mode where it becomes insanely difficult.

    Best game I have ever played. I am not a big gamer. I usually buy a few games a year, play them for a couple weeks and then lose interest. I have been so engaged playing this game that I have completed it three times including the bonus content. It is so much fun to be able to pick it up, explore anywhere due to the open world, and still find new things after hundreds of hours of play.Best game I have ever played. I am not a big gamer.

    When I was a kid, I would just randomly run around levels in some games because that was fun to me. As I got older and better at games, that wasn't really a thing I did anymore.

    First of all this game is a masterpiece. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild showed to game industry that you do not need to have 4K resolution or real looking graphics to do a good game.

    Story Telling
    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild story telling is way different than AAA games that you have played. There is not that much cut scene is involved but the ones are in the game are connecting you to the game. I defeated the Ganon after 175+ hours of play because I did not wanted to finish time game. I can tell you like this. You know when you like one book or the TV series so much that you do not want to watch the last episode or read the last chapter this game made me feel like that instead of the other games and I am looking for sequel games for the Zelda franchises.

    Gameplay and Open World
    I wanted to merge these two things because the gameplay in the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is really connected to the open world elements to. In the open world you can go anywhere you want just from the beginning of the game. Zelda just leaves you free to explore its unique world just from the beginning. You can find bunch of different biomes, towns and even forbiden places. There is weather conditions happens during your journey. Now I heard you are asking how is this related with the gameplay? Well you can climb anywhere you want at the open world. You can use your paraglider to glide where ever you would like. On top of that you can use your 4 types of runes to interact with the world too. You can freeze your enemies. You can stop the time for some objects. I will not tell you all the runes.

    It is a great game buy it you will not regret it.    … Expand

    This game defined and brought a new light to the entire open world genre and took a turn for the greater for the Legend of Zelda series bringing in new people and possibly reviving it in some aspects.

    Bringing new to old with the original Zelda premise into the open world genre as it did with the original game that introduced the series into a new dimension literally, The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It originally was the game to change the industry for 3D games and set an example for other games to come. Bringing the series into an open setting and further defining the beauty of what the Switch or even a handheld console can do and giving players the freedom to do whatever they want set in a loose story which gives players another freedom which most open worlds don’t have which is a flexible story that you get to choose how to play it. This also sets a divide and middle ground between the casual and professional players making it a game that can be played by anyone.

    The soundtrack and atmosphere really bring a lot to the game with it being a light but sometimes hard hitting OST and a natural and wild atmosphere that really goes well with the idea of the Kingdom of Hyrule being abandoned and destroyed, giving you the player to explore it and defeat the evil that will end the world in due time.    … Expand
