    Breath of the Wild is my favourite game of all time, but its not a perfect 10, more so a 9.5-9.7. Its amazing, but i hope its sequel can expand on the game I love and make it even better.

    i dont really have to add anything regarding zelda botw. Its a gaming masterpiece, arguably the best game ever made. Only a few open world games have created a world which feels as alive as this one.

    名副其实的神作，一周目自己一点点探索这片大陆，让人一直保持着对这个世界的好奇，跟随每一个神庙慢慢开扩自己的地图，在各地寻找宝箱和呀哈哈，是真实的让人感到最简单的快乐。在做完除了盖侬的其他主线任务时，心里全是一种怅然若失的感觉，而且看了别人的介绍后意识到自己还有太多东西没见到了，果断开启二周目地毯式的走遍海拉鲁，不过可以的话还是希望能够再有一次一周目的快乐啊。

    An Artistic Masterpiece.
    Breath of the Wild has the most enjoyable Open World I've ever explored in a videogame, I've played the game for hundreds of hours and I enjoyed every single second of it.
    It's a very rewarding experience, and the world is absolutely massive with so many secrets and details, everything works as intended, which results in a masterfully crafted world full of    An Artistic Masterpiece.
    Breath of the Wild has the most enjoyable Open World I've ever explored in a videogame, I've played the game for hundreds of hours and I enjoyed every single second of it.

    It's a very rewarding experience, and the world is absolutely massive with so many secrets and details, everything works as intended, which results in a masterfully crafted world full of life.

    Finding shrines, doing puzzles, clearing camps and endlessly exploring the lands always feels fresh, there's a good amount of content within this game, and despite its repetitive nature, the game never actually gets repetitive.

    As for the combat, it's decent, it might feel clunky at first but everything gets better once you get used to the controls. Also, the weapon durability can get in the way, it's a little bit annoying in the beginning, but it's not really an issue later on, there are so many ways to approach combat, to the point where using weapons isn't even necessary.

    Weirdly enough, the physics play a huge role in the gameplay and I have to say... wow, the way every little thing coexists and interacts with each other is absolutely insane, and the attention to detail is groundbreaking.

    There are so many things you can do, so many ways to interact with the world, use the environment as a tool or a weapon, solve puzzles in very creative ways and so much more. This game makes you think outside of the game, it treats the player as a smart person and gives you time to think before you act.

    Breath of the Wild is a revolutionary game, and it changed the Open World formula forever, which inspired many other games to follow its steps.

    The game never felt boring to me, there was always something to do and i was also happy that it got rid of the wallet limitations of the previous games.

    The runes are an amazing addition to showcase the physics engine and are great for the puzzles in shrines and for glitches.

    I didn't encounter many issues with the weapon breaking mechanic except for the limited space in your inventory and the fact that if you try to beat a hard enemy like a lynel you would just break all your weapons on the guy which made me never use my strongest weapons because "there probably was a stronger enemy where i could need it more"
    The mechanic was good for having to try other weapons, thunder and weapons catching fire was also effective in having to try other weapons.

    I do not find that the story or music is bland, you just don't get forced to do the story quest as much as in previous games which I actually like because of the freedom it gives just to be able to go to Ganon as soon as you get the paraglider.

    Also I find that the champions ballad DLC is a must have, the last fight that is in it is just the best boss fight i have ever done.
    The other blights seemed a bit bland and easy to defeat, there are not many times where I have died because if you just cook enough food you are able to heal instantly and you can just power through every fight so you have to be one-shotted or have no food in order to die.

    The only negative point I find is Ganons character is missing and seems to just be an angry pig monster like in many Zelda games.
    The character that was built in ocarina of time for Ganondorf was just way better and smarter I hope we get a better Ganon in the sequel to Breath of the wild.

    I can imagine people are going to be just as nostalgic about this game as people are about ocarina of time nowadays.

    Overall it might be the best game I've ever played I just love open world I hope botw 2 can live up to what this game has become and that we can see Zelda in not only the cutscenes, the game is named after her after all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start this review off, I wanna quote Mark Serrels from CNET:
    "It's been three long years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild rewired the connections inside my brain. It messed me up. In some ways you might say it ruined video games. Other video games. [...] Sorry, other video games. You tried, but you weren't Breath of the Wild."

    This quote sums up how I feel about BOTW quite perfectly. This game is unique, one of a kind, different. It's the best video game I've played in so many years, if not ever.

    While at first, I had my doubts about how good a game like this could look or how well it could run, seeing how limited the Switch's hardware is, all of that doubt quickly washed away.
    What I got instead were many weeks immersed in a beautiful game, a beautiful reality.

    The game runs smoothly, the landscapes are gorgeous (you never seem to run out of things to explore and do), the combat is really fun and allows you to get really creative and the difficulty is fair for a semi-good gamer like me.

    The best part imo, however, is the story. BOTW beautifully captures the "apocalypse-like" aesthetic in it's world and slowly recollecting all of the memories and piecing together the story pf what happened after the calamity was an absolute blast, even though it sometimes really tugged at my heart-strings (e.g. the story of the Zora/Mipha).

    Without trying to spoil too much, the ending was beautiful and definitely a fulfilling one that gave me closure instead of leaving me hanging like so many other games like to do.

    This game is one of the most important parts in gaming history, it really did change the gaming world. At least to me, it is more than just another open-world video game. It's an experience, and a really beautiful and intense one at that.

    While I probably can't do the game and the effect it had on me justice, I hope to atleast have captured some of it in this review.    … Expand

Apartado artístico que a dia de hoy, me sigue pareciendo el mas bonito, graficos que explotan las capacidades de la consola a la que pertenece, siendo un juego de salida de consola y que a dia de hoy no ha sido desbancado de esa posición. En lo jugable es una delicia, la exploración es extremadamente satisfactoria y el juego logra provocar cada 10 segundos la curiosidad de que habrá si sigo este camino, detrás de esa montaña o en ese acantilado. Una minuscula pega, quizá la unica junto con los jefes de cada bestia divina, es el desgaste de las armas, excesivamente rápido aunque entiendo su finalidad. La historia es sencilla pero muy bien realizada y con momentos que favorecen la inmersión en el juego, breve y presentada de tal manera que no entorpezca el eje central del juego, la exploración y sensación de aventura. Contenido para aburrir, un mundo inmenso que espera ser descubierto a manos de Link con su caballo y la paravela, que no nos falte nunca la paravela.… Expand

And it all adds up to one of the best stories in gaming. It's a game that could last over a year to play and even then there's always something to do. And this is all on a cartridge the size of one's thumb. This is easily the new standard for open world gaming and some of the most fun I've ever had with a game on any console. It is truly a masterpiece and well deserving of the greatest game of all time. Thanks to the developers for making a game that all my other games combined cannot compete with. Well done!… Expand

    Nintendo gave us the possibility to choose - something that was a problem of numerous games. BOTW gives to players the opportunity to form the adventure and lead the story of Hyrule in numerous ways. One could try to fight the final boss right after the prologue (sure, they will probably get beaten black and blue) or try to check out every nook and cranny of the map. That, combined with wonderful soundtrack, interesting quest and challenging enemies makes Breath of the Wild a game worth a 10 mark.    … Expand

    How this game is not in the top 3 of the console is beyond me. An open world that invites you to constantly explore, fun puzzles at the shrines, fun combat, lovely art and music. Traversal is also very functional, which can be a pain point in many games.

    Can’t wait for BoTW 2

    You know that feeling you get when you play Dark Souls and there's a small cliff that you wish you could jump over but you can't. Or maybe you get that feeling from a different game like old Zelda games. This game full fills that feeling. While it might not have the best combat or dungeons, the open world is and freedom the game gives you makes up for it.

    When you think that Zelda franchise couldn't go any further in terms of quality, Nintendo surprises us with a revolutionary title yet managing to keep its traditional roots.

    Many people complain about the breakability of weapons. But I felt it was I good mechanic to encourage combat creativity, it encourages the player to use every single tool on it's inventory (food, clothes, arrows, shields, weapons, special abilities) and also the enviroment.

    Pra começar, o jogo tem, literalmente, centenas de horas de conteúdo, um mapa gigante e muito diverso, contendo desertos, planícies, tundras, taigas, muitas montanhas, pântanos e mais. Mesmo depois de muito tempo de jogo, você acaba encontrando algo novo periodicamente. A exploração do jogo é fantástica, a melhor entre todos os que já vi. O combate do jogo é sensacional, com dezenas de armas diferentes que exercem seus papéis, uma grande lista de estilos de luta e estratégias, itens pra auxiliar em combates, bençãos, etc, o jogo bera a perfeição num aspecto que nem é seu foco.
    A história é surpreendente boa, apesar de não chegar no nível de outros aspectos. Descobrir e relembrar o que aconteceu em Hyrule por memórias perdidas, contos e ensinamentos de outros foi uma boa ideia, apesar de que acho que faltou se aprofundar um pouco.
    Não tenho palavras para descrever a trilha sonora, composta boa parte por sons ambientes que se encaixam bem, o destaque mesmo vai para músicas de verdade, posso citar Lurelin Village Theme, Revali Theme, Calamity Ganon Phase 2, etc. É impressionante como há músicas incríveis em tantos estilos musicais diferentes.
    Os maiores problemas que vejo em Zelda:BotW são a baixa variedade de inimigos, perda de performance em alguns momentos e gráficos não tão bons (algo que pode ser explicado pelo hardware não tão potente do Switch). Apesar disso, o jogo é incrível e com certeza vale a pena jogar    … Expand
