    Only reason I'm not giving it a ten are the shrines. I wish they were more inspired by other zelda games, with more zelda like battles and puzzles, but still overall amazing!    … Expand

    Great game, very addictive. I can't get enough of it. Graphics are beautiful. I like the cooking system to play around and see what you can create without being frustrating. The initial shrines are easy but a nice intro into different mechanics. Enemies can be tough if you don't prepare yourself, but with the right strategies and patience...not bad.

The game is harder than other Zelda games in the series, but your deaths don't feel cheated at all.

    There are some repeated events which still surprise me every time, such as the certain NPCs that ambush you by disguising as merchants or dialogue events where the NPCs are more aware than we've been used to.

    Go ahead, enable the Pro UI setting and let yourself be lost in this beautiful world.    … Expand

    This game brings back what I've missed with classic Zelda; a game with plenty of exploration that doesn't treat the player like an idiot. The last mainline Zelda's were just okay in my book, while this one is a strong contender for the best of the series.

There is lots to find and do in the world you'll discover, the new systems used in the game work super well and are super intuitive! The story is one of the best in the series I've seen in a long time, with lots of surprises. While breath of the wild is a fantastic game, there are also so many issues I have with it.

    Breath of the wild has almost no enemy variety. It seems like you'll see all the enemies the game as to offer within the first few hours of play. I think I've killed 20 different versions of bokoblins by now. The game does change up the enemies themselves, like giving them ice or fire abilities. But it still doesn't do much. It's sad not seeing any of the classic Zelda enemies like, like likes, beamos, wizrobes, darknuts, and so much more. It seems like a missed considering the world is brimming full of life.

    While I haven't had any bugs or glitches happen to me while playing, the framerate can be horrendous sometimes, it usually happens the most in Kakariko Village, and few other places. The game seems polished when it comes to performance, despite the previously mentioned framerate issues.

    The soundtrack is amazing, places like Hyrule castle, and many cutscenes, have some of the best the series has seen in years, and it's even orchestrated! However, the game doesn't use much of the soundtrack anywhere else. It goes for more of an ambiance, rather than the upfront music the other games use.

    The map is awesome! It has variety and sometimes make you use your head. Some areas you'll have to dress warm so you don't freeze to death, or find ways to stay warm. The opening hours of the game were probably the best when I started playing. The opening area is full of things to do and find, and most of the other areas do great at it as well! That being said, when you get to the game's bigger areas later on, it seems almost bland in some areas. While the environment is impressive to look at, it seems empty at times. You have areas that were amazingly detailed and filled to the brim with content, and then it seems like it gets progressively bigger with land, and smaller with content in some of the games bigger areas.

    The weapons system is very fun and customizable! It was fun seeing Link use different weapons, rather than seeing the same swords from previous games. While it is super fun and makes you plan ahead in battles, there is also a lot of annoying problems that come with it. The problems aren't because of the weapons breaking themselves, but rather finding more after. If you have a good weapon and it breaks, it could take hours before you find another one that could be better or just as good, or sometimes even worse, but usable. This wouldn't be such a big problem if the game gave you more ways around it, but there aren't that many. Breath of the Wild doesn't have a crafting system, which is super annoying considering it would give materials found more purpose, rather than cooking or selling to traders. It almost seems weird that there wouldn't be a system to craft or repair weapons. While I found this to be one of the more annoying aspects of the game, it still works for what it is.

    The voice acting is either really good, or horrendous at times. Now granted that will happen when you have a Japanese translated game, but it's super annoying that there isn't an option to use the original Japanese dialogue. But for a series first, it's passable.

    The dungeons were some of the best I've ever seen in the series! It was weird interacting with them, in a way I've never seen done in any Zelda game before. I don't want to spoil there surprise, because they are so much more appealing and fun if you don't know anything about them. The game also throws mini dungeons called shrines into the mix. These are used to collect spirit orbs, which can be used for upgrades throughout the game. Breath of the wild excels on the puzzles in the game, but it was somewhat saddening to not see more main dungeons, and mini dungeons. Shrines do a lot for the game, but I also miss the days when I could find a cave in the game, and i could explore inside it to see what goodies it has. When doing shrines, you know the overall reward you are getting, with some minor treasures inside.

    Breath of the wild is one of the best games I've played since Shadow of Mordor back in 2014. It was very well worth the wait, and has brought so many fun things to the table for the series. I can't wait to see the direction the series goes in the future! I hope to see these first time ideas expanded on, and even more added features. While the game is good, and Zelda is probably my favorite series ever, I will not be blinded by nostalgia when writing this review. The game is great no doubt about it, but it feels like something is missing from it. I do wish a little more could've come from the game, but for what we got it was amazing. I love the direction the series is going!    … Expand

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ImageI'm in awe of the vast World Nintendo has managed to create. 4 constant days of playing and I've barely scratched the surface, If you liked Skyrim, then consider this the next instalment. There are details in every corner, and always something to do. The world is alive with animals, insects, music and roaming NPCs. The linearity and forced concepts of any previous Zelda games are gone, but if you search you'll find the old gems are probably in there somewhere. The inventory and gear system makes the game feel fun to play, and not tedious like ingredient collecting in Skyrim and reparations in Minecraft (armor is indestructible). The combat can feel akin to Dark Souls at times, as some tougher enemies do loads of damage, but if you stock up enough food items you can tank quite a few hits, which is not welcome to some. Most of the time, tougher enemies can one-hit you though. All in all this is a game I will most likely be playing for months and keep loving it. I can't wait to see what other games Nintendo has in store for the rest of the year!

    Also, please mind the trolls casting negative votes. Sound, graphics, and mechanics are excellent, and story is so far captivating. There are frame stuttering in certain places when graphical effects overlap, but most of the time it runs perfectly (like during explosions and combat). If you get the game and like exploring, challenging combat, and a sense of beauty, you won't be disappointed.    … Expand

I know thisThis is my first review so give me some slack. First off the game is simply amazing. As soon as you start the game and walk out to that beautiful horizon you start to realize how much love was put in the design of this game. It definitely feels like a totally new experience but still has that Zelda charm. I love how the grass blows in the wind and moves as you run through it. I know this isn't any new or amazing feature but it just seems like Nintendo nailed that and many other things such as the ability to climb pretty much any surface. You really start out feeling like your weak and just trying to survive at first. The enemy AI is smart and will if you aren't prepared squash you like a bug. Early on you definitely have to plan your attacks and sometimes avoid them. You start out fighting with sticks and wood shields and graduate to rusted metal weapons then to High quality metal weapons. This progression makes sense as most of your weapons come from the enemies you kill. As you progress through the game the enemies get stronger, smarter and of course get much better weapons. Trust me when I say this your weapons will break and they will break a lot but there always seems to be an endless supply of weapons to find in boxes, treasure chest or off enemy combatant. There are so many other things I can go over in this game but at that point this starts becoming a strategy guide. This game is in no way perfect which is why I gave it a 9.0. So Let's get started with the cons which honestly aren't very many. There are times the game lags pretty bad but for me it usually happens within the first few minutes of playing. Keep in mind though this is when I played the game docked. I haven't noticed any lag when playing in handheld mode. The game looks amazing on that switch screen by the way. The grass and rock formations sometimes look very bland and washed out. Some areas of the game which look amazing just seem very empty. Load times can sometimes be a little long for my liking but maybe its just my impatience. There seems to be a very long loading time after The Wild Blood Moon cut scene. I am sure there are a few things i missed but to be honest I am too busy having a great time to notice. It's a shame that user reviews and scores for this game have been rendered useless due to morons giving the game 0's and 1's. By the way Horizon Zero Dawn is a great game also.… Expand

    4) Great storyline brilliantly narrated and integrated into the game: just the right cutscenes at the right times. Then, just action, freedom and more things to do.

They are all either butt hurt Zelda fans that cannot adapt to change who wants everything linear and loves to be guided by the hand throughout the entirety of the game who have no real grasp on an open world environment nor even want to OR they are the usual trolls that love to bash every new entry in the Zelda franchise for reasons unknown (either childish and immature or its taking attention from the gaming scene away from their Playstations or Xboxes). Giving this game a score of "0" or even below a 7 for that matter makes absolutely no sense to me. So, pretty much what those reviews are saying is that this game is on par with Superman 64 on the Nintendo 64 which is widely regarded as one of the worst titles ever created. Uh, no...I don't think so. Perhaps these people need to have all their games taken away and stripped of the title of "gamer". Now to the game:

    It is absolutely amazing and HUGE. Those complaining that the environment is "unfinished" or what have you are simply wrong. You can do just about everything in this game and interact with just about everything, something that is lacking in most open world games. This is the first Zelda where I have actually felt the "want" to explore every nook and cranny. Just because the world is vast unlike your Grand Theft Auto and there is more ground to cover doesn't mean the world is empty. Do me a favor and go out into the wilderness in the middle of nowhere (in the real world) and you will see that the similarity is uncanny. I have been a fan of Zelda since the original (yes, I am that old) and I can tell you, this is the first one that really makes me feel like I am going on this huge journey to save Hyrule. Not to steal away from Harley Davidson but "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey".

    And don't get me started on the weather in this game. The weather plays a role unlike any game before it. If it rains, good luck climbing that steep rock face. Lightning storm? Better not be wearing anything metal or be in combat with broadsword. You are more than likely going to get fried. The rain also wets the ground so when you are going downhill riding on your shield all snowboarding-like you will travel a bit faster. In this sense, the weather has essentially become a strong "character" with this Zelda. It is mind-boggling the amount of depth that is in this tiny little cartridge (or disc if you are playing the Wii U version).

    The game runs fairly smooth. Those complaining about framerate are doing nothing more than grasping at straws to find something negative about this title. Sure you MIGHT find a choppy frame here and there but ultimately, if and when you do find a choppy frame, it does very little to detract from the overall experience. A game like Skyrim, just for comparison's sake, was a buggy mess when it released back in 2011 and got a user score of 8.1. Where is the logic here? This only proves that trolls really do exist and what spews from their fingertips at the keyboard is nothing more than immature ridiculousness.

    While playing Breath of the Wild, what I have found is that for the first time in any title I have ever played, I feel like this is a world that really exists and that I am apart of. You can look to the sky and see birds flying, you can see the clouds and know if bad weather is coming, you can see every blade of grass, there is wildlife all around you and the music is absolutely astonishing. While the music only accentuates certain moments in the game, it does this on purpose to make you feel like you are really in this world out in the wilderness and on this massive journey. Sadly, this game comes to an end like all good things. I say "sadly" because this is simply a game I do not want to end. I will certainly be playing through again upon completion of my first runthrough.

    I can go on about the many things that make this game great but honestly you can find that reading every other review. Overall, I really feel like the changes made for this entry were much needed in order to keep this series fresh and relevant. I do not believe that Zelda could have survived using the same old bag of tricks and mechanics that helped define this genre when Ocarina of Time came out in 1998. My only hope at this point is that Nintendo rolls out more DLC to take advantage of this beautiful world they created because it would a downright shame to let it go to waste. What would be even better is to use the assets they created to create a new Zelda title altogether.    … Expand

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

    The only bad thing about this game is that I play it desiring that it never comes to an end. The good one is that the world is so huge that I think that's gonna last forever.

The AI is reactive and smart, as enemies that may have been benign threats in earlier titles are now more challenging, as they will often kick bombs that you dropped back at you or attack from range if you're far away. The Physics are impressive as updrafts from fire and trees will sometimes fall over while fighting larger enemies or if you chop them down. All in all, I think Nintendo hit a home run with this title and BOTW will likely be praised long after release.… Expand

This is all despite the fact that the visuals are already incredibly simplistic and look like they could easily be from a game released in 2006. It's pretty amazing that Nintendo refuses to join up with modern technology.

    This game is basically Skyrim-lite. There are very few outfits/armor to collect, leading you to running around a world and visiting shrines fruitlessly. It's fun at first but fatigue and repetition set in quickly once you realize the only reason to continue grinding shrines is to get an upgrade to health or stamina. That's it, there's no skills to level, or other perks. Just those two. Character customization depth goes out the window.

    What's worse is Nintendo decided to lock several iconic armor sets behind Amiibo microtransaction paywalls. Even though they are in the game you can't unlock them unless you go out and buy several $10-$30 toys, assuming you can even find them. Companies like Capcom get torn apart for egregious locked-out content like this, yet Nintendo once again gets a free pass, because Zelda apparently.

    Your horse Epona and Wolf link are also locked behind Amiibo figures. Good luck getting those without spending money on toys.

    These 10/10 reviews are laughable and truly show just how much credibility all these "journalists" have. They should be critiquing a game without bias. There's no way this game is close to being perfect, and if it wasn't a Zelda game it would have a MUCH lower score. Journalists should be reliable for an objective review and critique of a game and instead they let their own fandom get in the way of being honest with their readers.

    I wonder how many more years Nintendo can survive based on this incredible blind loyalty. Guess we'll have to wait and see.    … Expand

Will I give Horizon Zero Dawn a 0/10 because some Sony Fans have nothing better to do than hating on this great game? No, as soon as I'm completely done with Breath of the Wild I will play Horizon Zero Dawn on my PS4 and hopefully enjoy it too. Gosh grow up kids, this is getting ridiculous here.

    I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of Open World games and if you are also not a fan of those you probably might end up enjoying Breath of the Wild less than previous games of the franchise. Don't get me wrong, I also play open World games but beside of bugs that are always present - which is kinda fascinating because I haven't seen a single bug in Breath of the Wild, yes it has some slight framerate issues, but nothing that makes it certainly less enjoyable - there are always things that could have turned out better in a less open world. For example Red Dead Redemption (for me a 8/10): it's huge Wild West world is great, has a lot of atmosphere and the story is pretty nice, but - not mentioning other flaws here - a stronger focus on the story would have me pleased more. Sure there are also examples where an open world IMO simply works, but that's mainly because it doesn't get to big which is kinda an issues in most modern open world games, bigger is not always better. Well, Zelda IMO doesn't have these problems, there is always something to do, being it enemy's, something you can hunt, NPC and so on... getting to your goal you might pretty much always find something interesting that can distract you if you wish for it. For it's enormous size it's surely an amazing world, it feels like it's breathing... living and way less like an simple scenery you have to complete your quest in. You don't need quest to enjoy it, but while there are is an enormous amount of smaller sidequest, I wouldn't have mind to have a few more main quest, be it as it be if you can enjoy yourself in a huge sandbox you most likely will love this game. The two biggest issues I have with this game are for once the story, I know you don't have to expect to much from a Zelda game but I have fallen for their trailer and expected that they would finally give us more, this game breaks pretty much all conventions this series has in the last 30years so why not? Yeah... don't expect to much, but if you have seen the trailer you will already know a good chunk of what there is available in form of cut scenes... I surely would love a Zelda game following the events that happened a hundred years ago... unfortunately Breath of the Wild doesn't give me enough to fulfill my expectations. The other issue I have with this game is that it kinda lacks of being "The Legend of Zelda", probably I would give it a 9.5-10/10 for being the best Open-World game out there but it wants to be a Zelda and with that in mind you might end up disappointed about all those broken conventions , IMO they took it a little step to far. It wouldn't have hurt the game if all the shrines weren't solvable without Items you HAVE to find in a Dungeon or somewhere in the world, those always have added variety to the Zelda games an I simply miss it, there is a good chunk of shrines but you can solve them all with the functions of the sheikah-slate (and a bow), needing a hammer/boomerang/magic rod which you can find in this world wouldn't have hurt but as a Zelda fan I would have wished for a few big dungeons with "unbreakable" Items to find and use in those shrines. Don't get me wrong, those Titans are pretty close to a Zelda Dungeon (beside the bosses not having a certain week point due to the lack of special Items) but just four of these in these BIG open-world wasn't enough to satisfy my thirst for "The Legend of Zelda", hell not even Hyrule Castle is a god damn dungeon, why Nintendo? WHY?

    All in all Breath of the Wild is an amazing Open-World game and on it's own it outshines similar games - while you shouldn't expect a story driven RPG as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt of course - but as a Zelda it comes a bit short in terms of having big and complex dungeons in which you can get lost for hours, well at least you will find yourself exploring this world for a good chunk of time even if you intend to walk pretty straight to the Titans and beat Ganon.    … Expand

I completely lost track of time the first 3 days i spent playing this game, it completely absorbed me in a way no game has since i was but a child playing on the n64/ps2 etc.

    The only real complaints i have is the lack of a more well developed story and the performance issues, the story is bland and not very interesting. When the memory-flashbacks of link feel more rewarding and interesting than the actual present story progression: something is off.
    For a game that was developed for the previous AND upcoming gen console, the performance is completely and utterly garbage. There's no way to justify fps drops to around 15-20, no way whatsoever.    … Expand

As a Zelda fan since 1998 with Ocarina of Time being my favorite game of all time, I was of course looking forward to the release of Breath of the Wild. A huge part of the excitement is caused by nostalgia, of course.
    After playing the game for around 20 hours I can already announce this game as my new favorite game of all time. It blew me away from the first steps. Every 2 minutes I encounter a new feature or detail that just makes we stare at the screen with an open mouth. It's not only the major features of the game, like the vast world to explore, the intelligent enemies or the well placed music. It's the little details that Nintendo obviously put a lot of effort in. All so often I think "Hmm.. let's see if this works" ... and it DOES. Every single time. I was in need of a fire to prepare some food, so I read the description of the flint and I just put some wood on the ground, placed flint next to it and hit the flint with a metal weapon. The wood caught fire and I had a nice cozy place to roast some apples. 10 seconds later the fire went out and I wondered why. Of course, because it was raining. I set up the next camp fire under a tree.

    The graphics of this game are stunning. Yes, it's a special art style but they really did a great job at creating moody atmospheres, detailed models and oh my god, the lighting is incredible. Besides Witcher 3, this game has the most beautiful sun sets that I just enjoy watching at for minutes.

    The game has flaws. But none of them justify a 0/10 rating. I don't understand why Metacritic allows that. THe performance on the Switch in TV mode varies, but is satisfying over all. The controls are difficult to learn and it happened that I died because I hadn't mastered the control layout, yet.

    On a side note: The sound design is on point. Everything makes sounds as you would expect them to do. Your wooden bow on your back makes wooden sounds as it continuously hits your wooden shield. The wind blowing through the grass while animals make their own noises made me forget how little music is actually played throughout the game.

    I have only made a few steps into the main story so far, but what I have seen up to this review made by jaw drop to the floor. Of course, a lot of nostalgia is causing this (and the tears in my eyes) but the story they're are building up from the beginning is compelling and makes me find out more about it.

    What I probably love most about the game is the feeling of being rewarded. You get rewarded for being curious, for exploring new places, for experimenting with techniques and gameplay mechanics and for taking that additional step through a forest, over a river or down a cliff. Not in Skyrim, not in The Witcher 3 have I felt this sense of adventure.

    Despite not being flawless this game deserves nothing but a 10/10 rating, for all the positives easily outweigh the negatives.    … Expand

    Boss fights and dungeons are intuitive and new. The transition from open world game play into dungeons is as seamless as you could ever imagine. AI is strong, and with many fun little details in NPC behavior. Overall, the attention to detail throughout the game is breath taking. Zelda has evolved, and in doing so it has reached a new high. Nintendo's experimentation with this striking new role play experience hit home, and immediately became modern classic.

    I did lost hope in the last years to be honest.
    And of course I had big expectations, but this game even overcome it.
    Sorry I cannot put to words how great this game is.

    Just believe me that this is the modern Ocarina of Time + even more.
    This really deserves a 11/10

    El juego te da libertad para recorrer un mundo que si parece vivo, te da la sensacion de caminar por un mundo en regeneracion al que tines que ayudar.

    So far I played like 15h, this is my first Nintendo (though I am 27yo),, I always played on my PC FullHD 60fps, etc. and to be honest this game is awesome, Nintendos version of The Witcher 3, simplistic yet never boring nor empty. I'm now experiencing the "Zelda fever". It's hype is justified.

    I've never been a huge fan of the Zelda franchise, but I'm having a blast exploring and playing this game! It feels like a Skyrim Zelda with a bit of Dark Souls mixed in, which is always pretty fun. Personally wasn't a fan of the weapon-breaking mechanic though, but I suppose it could be a pro for others as it does make it feel more like a survival game.

I hope Metacritic fixes the trollish scores, Breath of the Wild is a beautiful, outstanding addition to the Zelda series, and the best of the series, and one of the best games of all-time. This is why I started playing games in the first place.

    I love this game. I miss some elements present in previous games like more complex dungeons or more variety of key items to use in dungeons. Despite the quantity of those key items, the puzzles which involves them are short but well designed and some (I've visited 27 and there is around 150) are a real challenge.

    And the world is fu***** big. I've only explored the East and after playing 30h I have yet a lot of places to visit for first time. Yes, only in the east part. And there is A LOT of side quest. And A LOT of characters to talk with. And every one of those characters gives you clues of the relationships of other people and have a routine system that changes depend on the weather and the moment of the day. The world is fully detailed. Even animals and monsters have routines.

    By the other hand, the ilumination used in this game is AWESOME. I think it is the most beautiful ilumination system I've seen in a game. Even more than the one used in Ghost Recon Wildlands which I've played in PC in Ultra.

    In the negative side, the frame rate and popping. It is true that in dock mode the game occasionally drops the frame rate from 30 to 20, but I think is logical. The moments when thus happens is when you are in an area with a lot of grass, buildings and have some monsters attacking you. Go to the same area, in the same situation but with no grass (cut it). You won't have frame rate drops.

    And I have to talk about antialiasing in docked mode. I'll be quick. I miss you!

    In conclussion. Despite the technical problems, the game itself is really big and awesome, and it has a lot of places to visit and things to do. Because the iumination you will have to buy a microSD because you won't stop taking screenshots.    … Expand

It as much a joy to look at these varied locales as it is to explore them. And traversal is fun and varied from    Absolutely amazing game and one of the best if not the best in the open world genre.

    Beautiful graphics in a wide variety of environments from wide open fields to dense forests, steep cliffs, mountain ranges, a gigantic volcano and beautiful view meltingly hot desert. It as much a joy to look at these varied locales as it is to explore them. And traversal is fun and varied from climbing to paragliding to horse riding across the land and lends itself to many screenshot wallpaper worthy moments to treasure forever. All accompanied by the sounds of nature and beautifully orchestrated sound track that dynamically adjusts to the locations and activities occurring on screen and kicks in the defining tracks when you are in the right place and at the right time to maximise emotional impact.

    The game has a seamless open world and very few loading screens that only occur when fast travelling or entering shrines and even when they do occur they are pretty short (8-10 seconds) Aside from that you can go anywhere, anytime, from any angle...and I mean it. Feeling like finding shrines? Exploring the world? Doing Side quests? Epic battles? Go right ahead! The game lets you go wild and free after to exit The Great Plateau. Feeling some extra courage? go straight to the final boss of the game.

    The world has many small touches that really make it feel alive. Villagers have names and schedules and lives where they interact with one another, go about carrying out their duties and when you interact with them they make relevant comments about your attire, their surroundings, enemies, etc. Talk to everyone, you may be surprised by what you hear.

    The game has a weather system that has a huge impact on gameplay. When lightning strikes its best to avoid metal weapons and clothing with metal as it could attract lightning and kill you and Rainfall causes rocks to be harder to climb as they are slippery but will also mask the sounds of your footsteps and make sneaking easier. The weather near the volcano is so hot that wooden objects burst into flame and special gear is needed to make it through their alive. Same can be said for the Cold mountaintops and the desert features a bit of both as it varies between the 2 extremes from day to night. Best part is that you can use these systems in battle by placing metal objects near enemies and have a lightning strike wipe them out! or take advantage of the rain to sneak past them or position yourself for a sneak attack and get the jump on them.

    The Combat in this game is excellent as well giving a wide variety of weapons from Swords, Claymores, Axes, Hammers, Boomerangs, Magic Rods, Bows, and Spears etc. and they all have a limited durability that raises the challenge in battle while at the same time giving you an incentive to try out other weapon types and strategise and adapt to situations on the fly. You also have a wide variety of control as you can Parry, do a Slo Mo counter attack, Sneak Attack, Throw the weapon you're holding at an enemy, Combos, Power attacks and jump attacks, and switch between your short range and long range weapons on the fly.

    But Hyrule is not all blood and gore as there are over a hundred Shrines, many side quests and hundreds of small mini puzzles as well the 4 main great dungeons of the game that test your wits and understanding of the game mechanics thoroughly in puzzles ranging from straightforward in the beginning to head scratching and mind bogglingly unique. At the same each shrine some times comes with an extra optional treasure chest that tests you further just in case you thought the puzzle in front of you was too simple.

    The story is also wonderfully told through voice acted cutscenes that are short and sweet and clearly define the personalities and outline key plot points to help understand what happened in Hyrule all those years ago. Although the story it self is straightforward it shines a new light and complexity to established characters and at the same time serves as a deeper meta narrative to what it means to be Zelda both as a character and as a game.

    Challenging convention is main point of this game and it courageously gives the players not only the tools but also the freedom to weave out their own unique adventure on a tapestry that is daring and deep as the player wants it to be. Zelda Breath of the Wild boldly stands out among not only the Zelda franchise but open world games as a whole and stands as a testament to what gaming can be.

    I would consider this the Greatest Zelda Game ever made and possibly the Best Video Game Ever made.    … Expand

    This is exactly adventure.

    Go up a mountain, find a shrine, and glide in a different place. Go to the unexplored place, meet occasionally Kolog. The enemies in the road are very stronger than the previous series. I devise how to fight and make it through.

    I was truly impressed that the sound environment matches time and space. The ascending air current by the flame and the physical calculation are wonderful, but it is a spice for directing the world of Breath of the Wild. Of course, rising air current can be used for para-sailing, wow.

    It is pleasant to fly in the sky in a world that is still too vast. It is fun to climb up a vertically elevated cliff. I think whether this enjoyment can not be tasted by moving only on the ground.

    -Varied sidequest: without spoiling them, most are fun and varied, with interesting sidestories, yet there are still some fetch ones

    The bad

    -Story: average at best, nothing new or groundbreaking is preseted, it's almost non existant, however the sidequest stories and the contextual storytelling are a little better
    -Weapon break system: coupled with the bizarre item interface can become very annoying very quickly
    -Repetitive in the final strech: Can become very repetitive near the end game thanks to the simple combat, the weapon break system mentioned and the fact that youll get most of the abilities in the beggining of the game
    -Graphical issues: from really low textures to framerate issues, there are a lot that are present on both versions and can be really distracting

Most people seem to love this game, but about 20% seem to not like it at all. This is very puzzling, so I thought I would give my take. To begin, I have been in love with the Zelda series since the first installment on regular NES as a young child. I grew up on Nintendo, and have played almost all of the Zelda games completely. For those who have been around and played all the games, and loved the original Legend of Zelda for NES, you will most likely love this game as well. To me, this game is the closest they have come to actually realizing the epic adventure of the first installment. There are so many throwbacks to that original game, and it is truly epic. Had I been in charge of game design, this is the direction I wanted to see. Open world exploration without a set linear path, which is how the first game played, granted, as open world as you can get for a 2D game, but none the less, this is the modern day version of that game. To be honest, I haven't enjoyed the last 2 games as much, skyward sword and twilight princess, as the games felt to me pretty linear. Go to dungeon, get new tool, go to next dungeon. Solve some puzzles, and don't get me wrong, I love the zelda puzzles. But that original title has a lot of exploration too. To me that has been what was missing. Not to mention, the past couple games were in my opinion, too easy. This game gives a healthy challenge. At times, almost feeling like Demon Souls. Creatures will just 1 shot you if you get hit by some stuff. Overall, this game is just breathtaking, and to me, is the best zelda game period.… Expand

    Game is excellent. Narrative is told well, world is open but alive, graphically beautiful, etc. Soundtrack is also great. Would recommend to long time fans and first timers alike.

    This game is amazing, The exploration is very good and the combat is fine. I, personally, think that the frame rate drops are very low and are irrelevant as they only occur when walking around, or in villages.
    The amiibo feature is very cool in my opinion as I have got Epona from a Link amiibo and you can get a lot of great in-game items for using amiibo that is compatible with the game.

    Overall, i strongly believe that this game is THE BEST Zelda game that has been made so far as it does everything good about previous games, and so much more    … Expand

    Zelda Breath Of The Wild (BOTW) is a great game and a worthy entrant in the Zelda series. It seems like it's a new fresh idea but it's actually the opposite: it brings the game before the Ocarina of Time template and back to the idea of the very first game. Exploring here, there, digging up content and experimenting.

Exploring here, there, digging up content and experimenting.

    PROS
    -Excellent, expansive world begging to explore and you'll probably spend much more time doing that then the main quest.
    -Dungeons and mechanics are great
    -Good art style
    -Oozes effort, care, and craft.

    Cons:
    -Believe the frame rate drop comments on other reviews, they are real, distracting, and at times - severe (disclosure: I only have the Wii U version).
    -Music is a disappointment which Zelda admittedly has set a very high bar (loss of the in-house melody is quite missed).

    In truth I think the game deserves an "8" but the technical issues become somewhat dulled with just how much FUN the game is and how much content you get. But don't believe all the hype - it isn't perfect, nor is it the best Zelda (for me Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are both superior).    … 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.

    Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
