    Right now I feel like this is my favourite Zelda game to date and that's saying a whole lot. I never imagined a game to overtake Majora's Mask's number one spot.

I never imagined a game to overtake Majora's Mask's number one spot. While that game's dark atmosphere and characters will always hold a special place in my heart, this game's amount of freedom to explore and its huge world, while still being accessible and not causing choice fatigue completely blew me away. The visuals look amazing (while the performance is somwhat unstable sometimes, though it did not hamper the experience), and the gameplay is really addicting, all of it, combat, puzzles and exploration. I simply can't get enough of it. I'm wondering what the next step for the Zelda franchise will be. ^^… Expand

    I went around towns smashing pots and exploring the wilderness. I got my sword and killed enemies I also went around getting quest from trippy looking people. I then went home and played Legend of Zelda Breath of Wild 10/10 ( READ THIS: get this game on PC if you prefer grapics to be better but if it does'nt matter to you then just play on the switch amazing game eaither way)

Playing this game reinvigorated a part of me I haven't felt in years. The world is so beautiful filled with the magic Nintendo provides in all their main titles. The story is light in some aspects, but you really get involved with side missions and shrine quests which spreads out the length considerably. The world reminds me of a beautiful painting, and I can definitively say right now that this is one of my favorite games Ive ever played, and it is definitely my favorite Zelda game by far. Do yourself a favor and enjoy this game, it is well worth it and I guarantee you will find something you will enjoy. Have fun gamers, Im glad I reignited my passion.… Expand

    Breath of the Wild broke a lot of records in the history of gaming. By that, I mean it is most likely impossible to find one thing wrong with this game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is hands down the best game I've played in recent years. I'm a huge fan of LoZ and have deemed this as one of my favorites, rivaling my love for Wind Waker. If you like Zelda and love open worlds, this game is the one for you.

    It is a refreshing change of pace for the Zelda series.Lots to explore. It also keeps the puzzle mechanic from the previous game. Coking is an interesting aspect of the game that make me want to look for new and more ingredients. The fights are challenge in the beginning as you get accustomed to weapon durability and and controls. All in all would buy again.

Gone are all the hand holding repetitive messages and announcements from the last several installments, the game does a great job of letting you discover how to do things while giving you mild hints to help you figure it out. As others have said, killing bad guys with the environment is great fun! It looks pretty damn good as a WillU game, and while I'm sure it looks a bit better on the Switch, I'm not sure it's worth all the monies for getting the Switch just yet. I've got it for the WiiU, and yeah, there are some frame rate issues, they've been rare, but the WiiU doesn't like water effects at all, so that hits it hard. These issues are rare, and not enough to detract from the amazingness of this game. It give me the same feeling the first 5 hours of the original Legend of Zelda did, or when I first cracked open A Link to the Past. Wonderful game!… Expand

Every Moblin, Bokoblin, and Guardian that could be lurking over that hill keeps you cautious, yet charged with a wanderlust. Every streaking meteor through the sky begs you to postpone your current objective to pursue that pillar of light.

    Every breeze and it's nature-inspired piano accompaniment makes Hyrule feel lush and alive even when you're barely interacting with it. Every glowing shrine in the distance... every beckoning mountaintop... every dense forest... every new traveler with a story to tell...

    I could go on for hours. I'm over 70 hours in. I haven't discovered HALF of what there is to do in this game. I'm still regularly surprised. I've got a ways to go, and I hope for years of glorious adventures in this beautiful, breathtaking Hyrule.

    1_ Hands down has the best open world map design and layout in 8th gen. It forces the player to explore the game world and find something interesting wherever they go. Also it's not bloated with side/filler quests and the few side quest it has usually have a satisfying outcome in the end.

    2_ Traversal in BOTW is actually challenging and fun. A lot of open world games try to make it as easy as pressing or holding down just one button but in BOTW it requires planning ahead and managing the stamina thus it feels more engaging and less boring. (*Also in a lot of games a tall wall or a mountain means "stop, turn back! There is nothing to see here" but in BOTW walls and mountains are mostly obstacles, challenging you to overcome them for better armor, weapon, upgrade materials and etc).
    3_ It's extremely fun to kill bosses and some mini bosses (excluding the final boss). Usually there is some creative ways to fight, counter and finish them.
    4_ Great combat design. Abilities and weapons on their own are kinda boring and we've seen something like it in other games but like everything else in this game, the combat is a puzzle. You have to figure out the right way to chain them and make your own fun combo. Even tho it's simple, it rarely gets repetitive.
    5_ Sound design is amazing. You can close your eyes and tell what kind of environment you're in, at what time of the day. It makes the game world feel real and alive.

    Cons:
    1_ Lack of enemy variety, same enemies every where but you have to kill them because you need the materials they drop.
    2_ Lack of a more imaginative story.
    3_ Battle music, doesn't hype the player enough.
    4_ Uninspired final boss design (I enjoyed going through the castle more than fighting Calamity Ganon) and unsatisfying ending .

    Overall Breath of the Wild is what I wanted from open world games for a very long time. A truly open world game worth exploring and a game that makes you feel you're the adventurer and not a player, experiencing someone else's story.    … Expand

    Este juego es la mayor obra maestra creada tanto por Nintendo y por supuesto Eiji Aonuma, sabemos que Eiji Aonuma es un grandisimo genio de la industria y que a creado obras maestras como Ocarina Of Time, pero este le supera por mucho.

    El gameplay es una maravilla, las físicas y mecánicas que se llegan a contemplar en este juego son increíbles, como la climatología, la interacción con objetos, también como afecta el entorno a nuestra jugabilidad, si llueve no podemos escalar, si tenemos frió Link va perdiendo vida...

    Son tantos los detalles que se pueden llegar a ver que llega a ser hasta abrumador (en el buen sentido).

    En cuanto ha historia si que puede llegar a dar la sensación de ser mas simple que las anteriores, pero no por esto la historia deja de ser una obra maestra.

    En este nuevo Hyrule tendremos un montón de misiones tanto principales como secundarias con gran importancia para la historia y que se notan que no están de relleno. Este es el mundo abierto mas interactivo y completo jamas creado, cuando vamos hacer una misión o nos encontramos con alguien por el camino y nos da otra misión que hacer o nos quedamos haciendo tonterías y se nos van las horas volando y sentimos que en todo un día jugado no hemos avanzado nada.

    Una banda sonora gloriosa, de las que aunque no estés jugando te dan ganas de ponerla para deleitarte.

    Conclusión final, este juego por si solo merece la compra de una Nintendo Switch, es una obra maestra que si te gustan los videojuegos NO TE LA PUEDES PERDER, es el juego que crea una nueva etapa en lo que respecta a los juegos de mundo abierto.    … Expand

Whether it is through its story of going on a quest to overcome an evil threatening the world or through the elementary characters you get to meet through the course of your quest or through the puzzles and platform experience represented in the dungeons and bosses, the Legend of Zelda games always create an experience fondly remembered when it comes to gaming. Breath of the Wild is no different. Actually, that is an understatement, Breath of the Wild is expertly crafted and merges those “zelda” elements within an open world setting in such a phenomenal and ridiculously fun way. It is astonishing really, unbelievable in fact how brilliantly constructed Breath of the Wild is. The game is less about consolidating your objectives to serve as the path to the final boss and more about exploring the world to construct your own adventure that you experience on the journey towards the final boss.… Expand

While the layout of buttons took some learning since actions were switched from what I'm used to, after two hours I think I can say that it really works. Many will claim that Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda game, II think that I have put enough time since picking it up to review now.

While the layout of buttons took some learning since actions were switched from what I'm used to, after two hours I think I can say that it really works. Many will claim that Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda game, I personally held Majora's Mask as my overall favorite and it got me addicted in a way only few games managed to. Breath of the Wild has achieved this very same feeling.

    With the exception of larger ones, every tree can be damaged, cut down, climbed(all of them can with this), Every bit of grass serves as help for stealth or fire spread. Thunder Storms have a positive, negative and neutral affect. Hinders climbing, benefits stealth, can be an advantage or disadvantage to you or enemies who hold anything metal. There are so many little details in this game in so many areas that I don't have room to fit all of them in this limited review.

    Now more than ever does Egorapter's sequelities on ocarina truly shine through with his criticisms that get addressed in this game and prove how much better Breath of the Wild is and stands over the best of the past. I feel like I'm actually in a wild where I have freedom which is on par or greater than how I felt about Skyrim, the sheer amount of combinations and options I have in traversing and combat truly excel this experience to a new bar for me. The Sheikah Slate really shines through with the abilities that it gives as tools you will frequently make use of in your own creative ways to solve puzzle and engage in combat. The game even makes me laugh like when I came across a bokoblin using a wooden Mop against me or another being picked up and hurled at me by a bigger enemy.

    Cooking was something I almost never did in Skyrim and yet I find myself more engaged in it here as I feel Nintendo balanced all the survival elements so well. The fact I have died over and over while learning tells that this game is not the breeze that Ocarina of Time up to Skyward Sword could tend to e. I believe this is a game that I could still die on even after playing it for so long. What little issues like frame rate drops are almost complete insignificant to matter at all. This is my new favorite Zelda game and possible in my top 5 list of my favorite games of all time. Being Zelda gets it no bonus points here, Ignoring the title entirely and focusing on it as a game on it's own is what many would call a benchmark. Well done Nintendo. You recreated my Fond Memories of Majora's Mask all over again and bigger and better than it was before.    … Expand

    I very, very rarely consider a game a 10, but Zelda is the best open world game since modern open world games became prevalent with the release of GTA 3. This is coming from a guy that doesn't usually like many Zelda games. Breath of the Wild still feels like Zelda in some ways, but forget most of what you knew about Zelda.

    Many of the things that were annoying or clunky were removed    I very, very rarely consider a game a 10, but Zelda is the best open world game since modern open world games became prevalent with the release of GTA 3. This is coming from a guy that doesn't usually like many Zelda games. Breath of the Wild still feels like Zelda in some ways, but forget most of what you knew about Zelda.

    Many of the things that were annoying or clunky were removed from Zelda to make the game more fun (like needing bottles to hold things, now you can just catch and put into your inventory or you can catch fish just by swimming up to them and grabbing them, no need for a fishing pole, ect.).

    The combat is fluid and Dark Souls like (but not hard like DS). The crafting system takes what makes it fun in other games, but still give you useful items if you make a dud. Yes weapons break quickly, but you find new ones all the time and you have other creative ways to slay enemies using your powers or the environment. The are lots of different enemies to fight with different behavior and attacks depending on their element or the weapon they hold.

    The real joy in Zelda is the exploration. Never before has an open-world game felt so intriguing. There's always something interesting right around the corner to discover. This isn't your run of the mill, same repeated crap over and over. I'm continually surprised how often I find or do something that was unexpected and that's what makes the exploration so much fun. The game is great at providing rewards that make you actually want to explore the world, unlike most other open world games.

    The art style is gorgeous even if some of the textures are low resolution. The frame rate can get choppy at times. These things are very minor and don't detract from the experience. The music is a great mix of old and new and is very appropriate and pleasing to listen too. The sound effects are fine and the classics are all there. There is little voice acting (only in cutscenes) and NPCs talk where they make weird noises before they speak like in other Zelda games.

    The story is more fleshed out than other Zelda games. No it's not a Bioware game, but should you explore the main story you'll get a lot of lore and exposition from the many NPCs. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's much better than prior Zelda games.

    The game can be harder than a normal Zelda game at first because the game has a lot of new "rules", but once you get used to it, the game is joy to play. The dungeons are broken up into small shrines, which is an excellent change. The shrine challenges are fun puzzles which are usually moderate difficulty, there were none that I couldn't figure out after trying for a while.

    This game is like Ocarina of Time for N64, a revolution in its time that I expect many games to try and mimic in design going forward. Other open world games simply can't compare because they aren't nearly this much fun to explore. I recommend Breath of the Wild to anyone, all ages and genders.    … Expand

    Amazing. Simply amazing.

    don't pay attention to the 0 score reviews, they are oblivious just trolling. I could see someone giving this an 8 or a 9 if it wasn't their cup of tea. But dang, what a game. Love the art style.

    I've played a lot in my live (NES, Game Boy, Sega Mega Drive, SNES, PS1, N64, PC) and almost everything that has been released the last 3 years on PS4 Pro. But this Game is better than everything I know. This is so well made.

    Finally I can do a little analysis on this game. It's just amazing, I've taken about 220 hours to play 85% of this. It is the best open-world game that i've ever played, innovates in every way and helps the gaming community to realize what an excellent game really is.

    Having put over 100 hours into the game I can definitely say this is the best Zelda game I have played (skipped Skyward). The level of detail and polish of this game is simply unfathomable. Even now, tens of hours after beating the game, I am still discovering new mind-blowing things to do and explore in the game. Masterpiece.

    I don't think I can say anything more than already has been said by everyone else. I have played every installment of every Zelda game.. ever. This is the game my friends and I dreamt about after Ocarina of Time on the N64 but thought impossible. Nintendo made it possible. I bought the Switch just for this and I have to say, Nintendo has made a killer console. Small, fast and convenient.I don't think I can say anything more than already has been said by everyone else.

    Best Zelda and Openworld game of all time. It is breathtaking, large and fun. If you run to a new region then you can explore everything and it is a lot of fun.

    I wish I could give this game a 9.5, because it is not perfect. That being said, it is still probably my favorite game to be released in the 2010's, possibly of all time, but I will have to play more in order to decide that for good.

That being said, it is still probably my favorite game to be released in the 2010's, possibly of all time, but I will have to play more in order to decide that for good.
    The Bad (Let's get this over with)
    - Frame rate is unstable. Now I am normally a pc gamer, so any game that doesn't run at or close to 60 isn't smooth in my book. I can never call a game that doesn't run smoothly a true perfect game, hence why I want to score this game a 9.5. From my experience, most of the frame drops however have been oddly towards the beginning of the game and the towns, so it is usually only a minor inconvenience. I've manage to get used to playing the game at 30fps.
    - Slow to start. Many people gush over how this game drops you into the world immediately, however this is only partially the case. Without spoiling anything there are some specific tasks you must complete before leaving the first region of the game, once these tasks are completed, you are then free to explore the world to your hearts desire.
    - Some empty feeling areas. While most of the game feels full of content and neat secrets and surprises, there are a few points where it's just boring to walk around the world. That being said, I'd say that less than 5% of the game so far has been boring to me. and most of that has been toward the beginning of the game.
    The Good:
    - I've decided to compare BOTW to the likes of the Witcher 3 and Skyrim as many others have. The world manages to be the most free world of any open world game I have ever played. Many will claim that this game doesn't truly innovate in the open world genre, but these people are only looking at the mechanics of the game. No open world game has ever been as free as this one. The elder scrolls may let you explore from the beginning, but you are limited by the order in which you must accomplish your goals. Skyrim may be a free game but you still must complete the main quest in a specific order. The Witcher 3 may have a large world with lots of interesting characters and quests, but it is not nearly as free as BOTW. But freedom often comes at the price of polish, rewarding exploration, story, characters and the like. However, despite BOTW's free nature, it accomplishes in ALL of these areas. The story is simple overall but the characters within it and the interactions with NPC's as well as many character arks serve to improve this story. Obviously the story's not as enthralling as the Witcher 3s, but that is a small price to pay for the sheer freedom in this game. This is the first game since Skyrim that I've played where I've been able to discuss interesting stories based on my gameplay and have them be completely different than someone elses. Yet Skyrim lacks polish in it's story, world design, and npc's, unlike BOTW. Never before has a game been able to let you go to the final boss of the game immediately after the tutorial area, and yet feel so polished.
    The puzzles are the best that I've seen in any open world game. No longer are puzzles based on having the right things at the right times such as the other 3d Legend of Zelda games, as you are given a majority of tools that you will ever need in the game from the starting area. It's up to you, your wits, and smart use of your tools to solve puzzles. All the shrines in the game up to this point have housed interesting puzzles at the very least. Other than the same interior design and the combat shrines, the shrines have been good over all. There are often multiple ways to solve the same puzzle, and each puzzle makes you feel accomplished when you've completed it. Some of the puzzles seem simple, but most of the simple puzzles are only there to teach you the basic mechanics of your tools so that you are not left completely blind when encountering more challenging puzzles.
    - The combat, while not the most in depth or complicated is still very good. There are a variety of weapons each with different move sets that are again, not too complicated, but the variety helps you stay engaged in the combat. At it's most simple, you are simply blocking, dodging and swinging. However, there are a variety of combat quirks that you can master, such as perfect dodges, parrying, effective use of charge attacks, environmental based attacks (such as toppling a nearby tree to land on a foe), and weapon throwing. And of course you can always use a bow, or sneak your way around an enemy encampment in order to take out your foes one by one.
    - The difficulty. Anyone who says this game is easy has not yet traveled far from the first area. Even when I've felt unstoppable at times my cockiness has failed my as I get one shot by a new foe. Trying to beat the last dungeon in the game with bad gear was one of the most engaging experiences Ive had so far due to the difficulty.

    It is everything you'd want in a Zelda game and more. After playing it for what seems like an eternity, I still continue to discover new things that I haven't seen before. It's both a evolution and a revolution in open world gaming designs. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sets a new standard for all video games and will most likely be a game that will be talked about years from now.

    Just pure fun. When most AAA titles have lost their foundation and gameplay, Breath of the Wild steps in to remind people what games should be about. Great narrative, even better gameplay and style. This game is a true 10/10

    This is the first Zelda in almost 20 years that's legitimately made me question my love for Ocarina of Time.

The sense of scale, atmosphere, and adventure in Breath of the Wild... it's simply unparalleled in gaming today. I'd grown so cynical and tired of third-person action adventure games, which makes it all the more surprising that a game like BoTW could so unwittingly show up and consume my everyday life. This game is a MASTERFUL example of gameplay engagement and world-building, crafting an environment that's equally fun as it is immersive. It has so many incredibly creative and inspired moments, and so deftly delivers on the promise of an adventure of epic proportions, that in many ways it draws out all of the flaws and limitations that Ocarina of Time had when it first revolutionized the gaming world and the franchise way back in the 90's (though I still love OoT all the same). Breath of the Wild is a fantastic game, worthy of reverence and of every gamers bookshelf. HIGHLY recommended!

    Also, be wary of the negative user reviews this game is generating. For whatever reason, it seems there are a lot of vindictive anti-Nintendo trolls trying to besmirch the quality of this game. Please pay them no mind, as they've certainly not played the game at all (let alone own it) to realize just how high amazing a game it is.    … Expand

    Ocarina of Time was my first game, Breath of The Wild does what should have been impossible, surpass it with flying colors.

    Frankly what is wrong with all you people?! A 7.7 User Score?!

    You Philistines clearly do not appreciate quality gaming. I understand if you don't feel that this merits a perfect score, weapon durability almost lowered mine, but this is one of those EXCEEDINGLY rare cases where the professional critics have got it right and the user wrong.

    I rarely give such a high score like this, and even more rarely do I criticize others over a game review but it is important to note that the people who have given this a low score are flat out wrong. There is no reason not to play this game if you can get it. This game trusts the player, if you would prefer to have Ubisoft hold your hand like a drooling idiot and explore yet another Ass Creed style Sandbox game fine. If you want a game that respects your intelligence as a gamer and doesn't force you through tons of obnoxious tutorials there's plenty of options for you out there.

    Of course if you prefer those games to this one go play Horizon: Zero Dawn and every game made by Ubisoft in the last 10 years, unlock your filler sidequests by climbing towers and crow to everyone around you about how awesome it is to play as a chick instead of enjoying satisfying gameplay.    … 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.
