    Best game ever! Innovative, fun, long-lived, bizarre. The shrines are magnificent and varied, the gameplay levels beyond the parameters, the characters well characterized. Unattainable for everyone.

    A masterpiece, amazing world and fun to explore. Probably the most open open-world game I've ever played. There are so many different solitons to the same problem. This is a must play!

    This is by far one of the best games to immerse yourself in for 100s of hours, if you let it. Art and video games emerge for a beautiful experience.

    With this game, Nintendo managed to deliver its best creation in more than 30 years of history, teaching everyone why they are the best softhouse to date. Breath of the wild is trully magnificent, without any flaws and delivering the best open world game we could have hope for.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild did not just revolutionize the Zelda series but also open world games as a whole. Wandering around this vast world is just pure fun and exploring all of it will take you countless exciting hours.

    This game changed my life when I played it five years ago. Back then I liked playing video games, yes, but it was just something to pass the time.

Back then I liked playing video games, yes, but it was just something to pass the time. This game was the first time I was ever truly immersed into a fictional world, and it led me down the path to becoming who I am today. I would never have discovered my passion for the medium of video games if not for Breath of The Wild. I would never have met some of my closest friends if not for Breath of The Wild. Three are so many facets of myself and my personality that I discovered because of my time playing this game. It has such an incredible soundtrack that's minimalistic and tries to stay out of the way of the sounds of the world. It has beautiful graphics and art direction, and incredible UI. It has a rich world that's rewarding to explore from head to toe. It has a fun combat system that encourages players to not only upgrade their gear, but learn how to employ advanced techniques like parrying or flurry rushing to speed along tough battles. The game is pure, unadulterated, fun. Of course, video games are art, and people will never be able to come to unanimous decisions on it. As well as this, the game is not perfect. It would benefit greatly from a stronger narrative, and better performance. Yet, these issues mean nothing to me when I'm running, or swimming, or climbing, or riding, or even warping my way around the vast and enthralling world of Hyrule. I will always love this game no matter what happens. Because this is one of the few games that I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, changed my life.… Expand

    Best game I've played, I keep playing it for hundreds of hours and it amazed me every time. It's incredible that this game was released in 2017, and it was still the best game in 2020 when I bought it.
    The music, the story, the weapon system, the map design, and the cut scenes are all perfect.

Wow, just wow this is my favourite game ever (joint with Mario odyssey), the first hour or so is getting used to the mechanics but then when you start going to the first divine beast and begin starting the game (properly). That's when it starts getting greater, 4 dungeons doesn't seem like much but you can't miss the fact that there's 120 mini-dungeons as well so you'll never get bored. Buy the DLC too, It's brilliant just like this game.… Expand

    The GOAT designation given by many reviewers and critics are entirely justified. A 10/10 game usually means it's the best game of the year. This particular game however, is a generational masterpiece. Phenomenal art direction ensures that this game will age beautifully in 10-15 years. I wish I can play this game again for the first time.

    It has many issues which people who are very critical of it are quick to point out. The combat has issues like the weapon breaking system and very imbalanced late game scaling, the story is lacking and told in a boring way, the dungeons and bosses are disappointing, the materials you get are generally not that useful, etc.
    The thing is, none of those really matter, because they aren't bad enough that they ruin the things that are good about the game. The story is lacking but it has a cool premise and isn't that important to the gameplay. The combat has severe flaws but all of its core aspects are still fun and control well. The divine beasts and blights are disappointing compared to past dungeons/bosses, but the shrines and overworld bosses serve as replacements that fit better in the open world context. The game has many flaws but none of them are crippling.
    And what the game does well is more than enough to make up for these excusable flaws. It has some of the best presentation and atmosphere in any game, period. Which I do not say lightly. The artstyle is undoubtedly beautiful, and that gets all the appreciation it deserves. The game looks incredible even on more limited hardware because the devs didn't try to make something hyper-realistic, they just made a cell shaded style that looks really pretty. Strong art direction matters more than pure graphical fidelity in most cases. There was also immense care put into details and animations of everything from Link to enemies to the environment to make it all believable (for example details like Link's visible breath in cold areas as a basic one. Details like these are everywhere when you pay attention and contribute greatly to immersion.)
    The audio design is just as strong. The music is slightly contentious, but I think the criticism is largely unwarranted. I agree that the overworld themes on their own aren't great pieces of music, but it's important to remember that they should be judged in-context. The context is a game that's trying a great deal to bring to life the atmosphere of its world and also has incredibly detailed audio work put into the environment. The ambient music with long rests isn't for no reason, it's to give a chance for the sounds of nature to shine. (to allow for the "Breath of the Wild"). Those long rests also convey a feeling of loneliness better than anything more involved ever could. And apart from those, the music is all pretty good. Town themes have great atmosphere, boss themes are exciting, etc.
    The audio and visual design of this game are what makes it a work of art, and show that presentation is important. The incredible presentation of this Hyrule are what make it a compelling world that players want to explore, because being in a game world that is beautiful, immersive, and atmospheric makes that game world feel good to be in.
    So what matters then is how the game lets you view the beautiful world it creates. Which it does by giving the player complete freedom in exploration. This is one of few games that seems to be open world because it's actually part of the intended experience, rather than just for the sake of it. The game doesn't try to railroad you into any of its content because it doesn't need to. It takes almost all markers off the mini map and permits you to go wherever. Which plays off of the captivating environments. You see something in the distance, think "ooh, I want to go there", and inevitably find plenty of things from Koroks to shrines along the way. Even if the stuff you find gets repetitive, it doesn't really feel that way, because the exploration is player driven. If you find something that you aren't interested in, you can always choose to ignore it and just go to wherever your destination originally was. This is also where the map's size helps, because it isn't just an arbitrary talking point. The vastness of the world gives the player more to see in the distance and want to explore.
    This game is truly a magical experience on a first playthrough. The presentation makes the game world beautiful, and the freedom it gives means you never have to do anything if you don't want to. That combined with the complete lack of knowledge you'll have on a blind playthrough makes that first experience amazing. You can wander around, not knowing where you're going, and what's different about this game is- that's fine. There's nowhere that you need to be, only wherever you want to be.    … Expand

    This game is one of the best for switch and a must-to-have. You can discover the map and find out new things about the history of Hyrule.
    If you find a sword or another stuff, you can fight with enemies on the over-world.
    The villages make the game more especially.
    Finally the game ends with a exciting fight with ganon.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zelda Breath of the Wild é a experiência definitiva do que é jogar um jogo de mundo aberto. Após a revolução do Ocarina of Time, o qual criou o target e inspirou tantos outros games 3D que vieram depois, Breath of the Wild levou ao extremo o que significa liberdade na gameplay. Neste game você pode fazer absolutamente o que quiser, a hora que quiser e quando quiser. Se seu intuito ao começar o game é enfrentar diretamente o last boss, o jogo te permite, mesmo se tornando um imenso desafio, sendo que também é possível passar pelas shrines e dungeons na ordem que preferir. A liberdade é tão grande, que nos praticamente 75 km de mapa você pode ir literalmente até onde a sua vista alcança, não existem paredes invisíveis no game, se avistar uma montanha distante ao horizonte e se atrever a ir lá, o jogo vai permitir a aventura, e se prepare pois ele irá te surpreender e te recompensar pela sua ousadia em se aventurar no seu vasto universo. Tenho 32 anos, nasci em 1990 e jogo desde então, passando por super nintendo, ps1, dreamcast, xbox, xbox 360 e playstation 04, até os dias atuais nenhum jogo fez o que Zelda Breath of the Wild alcançou, você é o heroi, você molda o mundo seguindo a sua história. O jogo não te direciona, não identifica no mapa aonde deve ir, apenas siga seus instintos. O fator replay é infinito, existem modos mais difíceis com as dlcs para aqueles que gostam de mais desafios. A história é contada por meio de flashes de 100 anos atrás, onde o herói foi desacordado por um longo período de tempo e apenas fragmentos da sua memória são revelados até o desfecho final contra o Ganon da calamidade que foi selado junto com a princesa Zelda no castelo, se sacricando para que, após 100 anos, você finalmente consiga trazer luz para o mundo como o herói do tempo em Ocarina of Time fez CERCA DE 10 mil anos atrás. Nada mais a falar, jogo nota 10 de 10 em todos os quesitos, reconhecido como o melhor de todos os tempos numa lista de 100 pela IGN, revolucionou um gênero que já estava definido, ganhou game of the year de 2017 enfrentando jogos como Mario Odyssey, Persona 05 Horizon Zero Dawn. O incomparável, ícone de um legado antigo que soube novamente se reinventar, o extraordinário Zelda Breath of the Wild, o game que me fez ter vontade de comprar um Nintendo Switch apenas para jogá-lo, o melhor jogo de todos os tempos, não perca essa aventura pois como o jogo diz, you Born to be Wild.… Expand

    This title truly ensured that the Nintendo Switch would succeed as a incredibly popular console that will probably be remembered forever as an amazing, groundbreaking console.

    This truly is a groundbreaking game. Instead of stupid driving around for 30 to get to one place on the map to get to the content, the content is instead placed everywhere on the map, so every direction you go is the right way.

    "Breath of the Wild" é realmente um sopro de renovação para a franquia Zelda. Não que ela precisasse porque os jogos sempre foram, no mínimo, bons jogos. Mas o que foi feito aqui, meus amigos e amigas, é uma obra de arte de cair o queixo!!!

    A maneira pela qual o jogo te fornece suas habilidades e te coloca em contato com o mundo aberto faz com que não existe um lugar de Hyrule que não desperte sua curiosidade! Os elementos clássicos e característicos da série foram reintrepretados de uma forma extremamente inovadora! O combate é fluído e continua sendo explorado por jogadores de longa data mesmo cinco anos após o lançamento! Tudo em "Breath of the Wild" impressiona, é o tipo de jogo que a gente fica bolado quando acaba porque não queria que acabasse...

    E, para mim, o melhor desse jogo está em sua história. A forma como a narrativa se desenvolve e a busca pelas memórias perdidas permite que a gente reconstrua a história de Hyrule na medida em que nos apegamos aos personagens durante a jogatina. É simplesmente fantástico!

    Eu sinto pena das pessoas que por ventura passem por este plano sem ter a oportunidade ou o privilégio de experienciar "Breath of the Wild". E esse é o maior elogio que posso fazer.    … Expand

Após 200 horas de jogo e ter zerado o game 2 vezes venho lhes apresentar meu review sobre The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild Não preciso nem dizer que esse jogo foi feito com muito carinho, e podemos perceber isso de forma clara em sua trilha sonora, mapa gigantesco com 100% de fator exploração, mecânicas divertidas e funcionais, puzzles incríveis e muito bem planejados e etc.

    Gostaria de ressaltar como esse jogo preza muito pela liberdade de poder zera-lo da forma que bem entender. Esse é o jogo menos linear que ja joguei em toda minha vida, você tem um mapa gigantesco pra explorar, e 100% desse mapa é bem aproveitado com segredos, puzzles, coletaveis e além de belíssimos cenários impecáveis que demonstram o quão lindo esse jogo é, além de suas trilhas e músicas que foram planejadas de uma maneira incrível. Todas as músicas desse jogo são impressionantes e muito boas de se ouvir. Toda a saga das divine beasts instigam o jogador a ir atrás da história daquele local onde ela se encontra, onde temos npcs com história e que realmente passam uma impressão de uma comunidade viva.

    Poderia falar muito mais desse jogo, realmente impecável, e digo que vale muito a pena comprar o switch só por este jogo. Você vai se divertir e se emocionar por centenas de horas, pode ter certeza.    … Expand

The world is of course massive, but its extremely fun and rewarding to explore, with easily the best combat the series has had ever. The amount of fun exploits and tricks, make thisbgame easy to go back to. It has arguably the best tutorial in gaming history, and rewards you for exploring. The game is designed to keep you with a constant stream of challenges, cool things to see and do, with weapons. Weapons may break a lot, but never do you run out unless you try to run out. And the weapons you get are always upgrading as you progress. To think a game this big is so, surgically designed makes thisna joy to play. Tje issuesni have lie in tje bosses, especially the last one, but specifically the last ohase of the last boss. UGH. It doesnt take away from the experience too much though.

    But one thing I feel like I need to write somewhere is that I find the story insanely underrated, sure it's mostly in the background but when you actually pay attention to everything in order it can be some pretty heavy and powerful stuff especially when it comes to this iteration of Zelda.

    FULL REVIEW:
    The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s biggest and most successful franchises, second behind Mario. Shigeru Miyamoto may have been behind the beginning stages of both franchises. However, he helped to make sure they were different from each other before handing the Zelda franchise over to Eiji Aonuma. Where 1986’s Super Mario Bros. was a side-scrolling platformer, 1986’s The Legend of Zelda included an action-adventure overworld. Zelda II may have included side-scrolling while battling enemies, but the overworld became a mainstay, even to this day. The Zelda franchise has tried many other gameplay and narrative styles across multiple consoles and handhelds. However, everyone, including Nintendo, knew there was something special about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upon its announcement in 2013.

    Upon entering the game’s world, players discover the grim reality Link lives in: they’ve lost. Link, Zelda, and the four Divine Beast Champions fell to the all-powerful Calamity Ganon, causing Link to fall asleep for one hundred years. As Link discovers throughout the game’s captured memories, players learn more about the Champions and the dynamic between the heroic group before Hyrule fell to Ganon. Zelda fails to unlock her sealing abilities in time despite her father, King Rhoam’s, best efforts to help her. The Champions fail to overpower Calamity Ganon with their Divine Beasts. Hyrule fails to understand the uncontrollable power of Sheikah technology. Everyone fails and loses before the game’s narrative begins, making Link’s destined quest to defeat Ganon all the more urgent and emotional.

    Luckily for Link and players, Hyrule retains many tribes and villages after the fall of King Rhoam and Hyrule Castle. Hyrule also offers dozens of shrines awakened by Sheikah technology for Link and players to explore. The amount of quests, puzzles, and locations to discover makes players feel small amidst a living world. Curiosity often overpowers people, making exploration in an open world like Breath of the Wild a true adventure, regardless of the hundreds of quests offered to players. Players can even move straight onto fighting Ganon, bolstering the game’s freedom of choice. Nothing is required of the player to complete the game other than beating Calamity Ganon, making Breath of the Wild the game it is today.

    As the world ventures away from the game, many of today’s games, like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Genshin Impact, and Immortals Fenyx Rising, try their hardest to replicate its success. However, the combination of Breath of the Wild’s exploratory adventure and the world Link and players reside in creates a once-in-a-generation experience no other game achieves. It is the quintessential open-world title–a near-perfect video game worth the four-year wait between 2013 and 2017. From 1986 to now, the Zelda franchise has been the yin to the Mario franchise’s yang. The ladder offers a more casual and status-quo adventure, and the former offers genre-bending experiences for those willing to take risks.    … 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.
