    Breath of the Wild is one of the first open world games that I can sit down and play for hours on end without getting dull.

There is just so much content at every corner, the puzzles are interesting and just complex enough not to make you want to put down the game, the mechanics in every aspect of the game are superb (you train a horse almost how you normally would in real life), it doesn't hold your hand every step of the way. People that give this a low rating either complain about the genre style of the game that doesn't match their tastes or complain about the enemy variety. There are minor problems with the enemy AI (like them getting stuck on a pole), but the various small intricacies and level of variety available are staggering, not to mention the amount of ways to defeat them are almost endless (Blowing up nearby explosive barrel at an enemy camp, no explosive barrel? Roll a huge boulder over their heads. No huge boulder? Light the tall grass theyre sitting in on fire. Raining? Tie a bomb onto an octoballon to float in the air, blow it above their camp using a leaf you found while chopping down a tree, pop the ballon with an arrow and detonate.) The game is a masterpiece - and there must be some appreciation for what the game has achieved in this day and age of gaming.... Definitely doesn't deserve a 0 based on production value alone..... Sigh some people.… Expand

    The best video game I ever played. It's one of those rare Games that you don't want to end. Even if you can walk to the final boss at any moment you don't want to. You just want to continue playing :) That says a lot.

    Never before has a sandbox style game given such freedom when it comes to traversing the map. The only limits are your experience (both stamina and hearts) and the things the world gives you (armor, shields, clothing, ingredients, metals, ...). Only you decide how and when.

    In Breath of the Wild you will not spend a second without doing something substantial and fun. It is the ultimate open world game.    … Expand

    This is quite possibly the best game I have ever played. I have gone back and played Breath of the Wild multiple times now, and I’m still enjoying it. I cannot recommend this game enough, I will admit that it is light on story, but the game itself makes up for it with plenty to explore and things to do. One of the greatest of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a fantastic game. That's literally all I have to say

    Well maybe I'll say more...

    The game starts off with an old man who gives information about the shrines and temples, and tells you to get all four shrines in the plateau. In those four shrines, you get special abilities such as magnesis, which helps you move metal objects with your shieka slate, or stasis, which freezes guardians, gears, and other enemies. The best part about this is that you can go to any of these shrines in any order you desire. After obtaining all 4 shrines, the old man tells you to go to the center of the shrines, which leads to a church. At the top of the church, you'll find the old man, who explains that he used too be king of Hyrule, and that Zedla has been keeping Calamity Ganon from reaching full power. He tells Link that he's the chosen one, tells you to go to find Impa in a village. From here on the choice in up to you. You can either go find Impa. Or go to Hyrule and die a bunch like I did. When you find Impa you screw this Im bored. You go find Impa, she tells you about the 4 divine beasts you kill em and the all like oh **** but the people who are ancestrs are like oh ye and you can like get miphas grace which won let you die or daruks protection which sounds like a condom to protect you from **** so after you kill em all you go to hyrule kill ganon but b4 u do that you have to get all 120 shrines and all the memories. Gameplay is great, you can choose from a variety of weapons like the Knight's Broadsword, Dragonbone Moblin Club, to a Savage Lynel Sword.

The story is beautifully crafted to focus on Princess Zelda as you work to regain the memories you've lost over the last century while everyone you run into has heard tale of your exploits even you can't recall. Enemies are numerous and challenging and combat is punishing, versatile and rewarding. Dungeons and boss fights are no longer tied to a linear path of progression or ""Dungeon Specific Items," but rather wit and intuition to utilize the tools at your disposal as you analyze the latest block to your progression. Each character has a great backstory and each town carries its fair share of tasks to complete as the player pleases. The game never peaked and always impressed, ending at the Castle and leaving an impression as one of the greatest games ever created.… Expand

    Was never a big fan of Zelda before this game, with an amazing open world that has so much to discover with so much to do and so much to see Nintendo made a game that everyone should experience, Currently the best game on the Switch and I doubt anything will be able to overtake it. The game is not perfect however with some minor nitpicks such as the frame rate.

    I have played games on many systems since my Vectrex back in the early 80's...plenty of genres and more time than I should have. I definitely give this a 10/10 rating. I really have no complaints other than wanting to play it every chance I get. :) I have played most of the Zelda games and they have kept many recognizable elements from the series.

    Just when I think this game has shown me all it can, I am surprised again. This has happened numerous times and I am not yet half way through exploring the world.

    For those who are rating it a 0 or 1 just because of one or two things, please stop skewing the stats just because you want to spite other people. I am giving an honest 10/10 because this game truly has blown my expectations away, from the epic battles to the subtle environmental background sounds...this is truly an immersive experience allowing me to create my customized journey through Nintendo's epic story.    … Expand

There is never a dull moment whenever I play this game. For instance I would be following a quest and on my route to complete the quest I usually find a new shrine to clear and receive a new Spirit Orb that increases my health or stamina when I gather 4 of them and take them to a goddess statue, a new side quest, a Korok puzzle that I need to solve so I can increase my inventory, a puzzle shrine hidden that I need to solve to make it appear, a mini boss with really good weapons, materials nearby that I'm going to need to upgrade my armor, a dragon that has rare materials that I can use to upgrade my armor or sell for a really high price, an item or creature I want to take a picture of and add to my compendium in case I need to track it later with the Sheikah Slate, or a chest nearby that might have a good weapon, a rare jewel, or a lot of money just laying their hidden in the ground, water, or on top of a enemy outpost, under a movable rock, or block of ice and all of that is not even half this game. There are so many sets of armors, shields, and weapons each with different effects and abilities that can make the difference between surviving or dying, and you aren't limited when it comes to your equipment. Link is fully customizable meaning you can create him to look the way you want with so many styles and color variations to choose from with the addition to armors and outfits from previous Zelda titles such as the Original NES outfit, both Link and Dark Link outfits from Ocarina of Time, the Windwaker outfit and shield, the Skyward Sword outfit, and even the Fierce Deity Outfit and the Double Helix Sword. And the story is so beautiful and compelling that you just want to know how its going to end. This game is all about survival and you can hunt for, cook, and combine so many different recipes together that create meals and elixirs that can replenish massive amounts of health and/or give you a boost or resistance to a certain element. And at almost every moment in the game the music is always taking your breath away and it blends so well with each of the games different environments. No longer is there a side kick that is constantly annoying you, but instead you can have Wolf Link from Twilight Princess join you and can be called out using the Wolf Link amiibo anytime out in the wilderness to help you hunt animals or find secrets that he can sense nearby. And finally there is a Zelda game that is so open, massive, and that you can literally.... climb.... anything... on... the... map. This game alone deserves the title and award of being best game of 2017 because it has revolutionized the way we see open world adventure games. I give this game a 10 out of 10. This game will literally take your breath away!… Expand

The exploration in this game is unrivaled, you can spend hours upon hours just walking around in the world and your always rewarded by your time. Combat is surprisingly deep and fun only beaten by the dark souls combat but nothing even comes close to dark souls so that's no criticism. I've heard that some people have called this game empty and I don't know which game they've been playing but this game is far from it, rather I feel like this game nearly has too much too do, if that's even possible, because it's hard to get to the main quest when your constantly occupied by some side activity. With only 4, this game has the least amount of dungeons in the series and you would think that that would be a disadvantage but first and for most the 4 you get are all amazing and will take some time to figure out and secondly with 120 shrines that work kind of like mini dungeons the void that could have been made by the small amount of dungeons is filled. The last thing I want to talk about in this review is the story. This is another section of the game that has received a lot of criticism, and yes the story loses some of the focus since your allowed to go everywhere you want so it's hard to feed you a constant stream of story, but the story that is here is all amazing and probably better than any other Zelda game before. The most impressive thing to me is how the character of Zelda is built. She is given an actual personality I'm not going to spoil anything here but I promise you, you will get the feels for this character. To conclude, this is an amazing game with an unrivaled sense of wonder and adventure. The game isn't without its flaws but it never hinders the experience, everyone is in-titled to their own opinion and it's OK if you didn't enjoy the game like I did but in my book this is a 10/10.… Expand

    A perfect score still doesn't even do Zelda: BotW justice. BotW is magical, endearing, ground breaking, powerful, and simply a joy to play.

    Breath of the Wild dares to reinvent the already excellent Zelda formula and actually succeeds at improving it in most ways.

    The sheer scope of Breath of the Wild makes all past games in the series seem like child's play. From the outset of the game it is made clear that this is a Zelda world that is on a completely different scale and the amount of freedom in this new version of Hyrule is equally impressive. In a lot of way this game feels like a fresh start for the series. It feels almost like this is the game that the creators wanted 30 years ago but just couldn't create because of technical limitations. This is the first version of Hyrule that actually feels like a living breathing world, that is just waiting for you to explore. Open world games have become pretty standard in the current generation but most of those games fail to really live up to the idea of truly being open. Breath of the Wild doesn't have that problem, it is probably the most truly open world game that I can recall. Not only can you go almost anywhere and climb almost anything, you can also discover the story out of order. It is the type of experience that I have been waiting for since I started playing video games decades ago. I don't think Breath of the Wild is a perfect game, it has flaws but what it does well it does so well that it still easily ranks among the best games I have ever played.

    The gameplay is a nearly perfect blend of exploration, puzzle solving, collecting, platforming and combat. The paraglider makes moving through the world more easy and fun than ever before. The addition of jumping and climbing controls also really help to open up the world and offer a whole knew dimension to exploration and puzzle solving. There aren't as many key items in this game but the ones they do have can be used in countless creative ways. Being able to control metal objects with the megnesis ability creates countless gameplay possibilities. The fact that nearly everything in the world can be interacted with creates so many possibilities that even after over 100 hours I was still discovering new things that I could do. My only major complaint about the gameplay is that swimming is a major chore and you cannot swim underwater which was a major letdown, especially since swimming was done better in almost every other 3d Zelda game. Still that flaw is majorly overshadowed by the vast number of new gameplay abilities. Not only can nearly every part of the environment be climbed you can even climb some enemies and ride any animal that is big enough to be ridden. Another amazing aspect of the gameplay is the physics and weather systems. Link reacts to different types of weather and that impacts what kind of clothing you need to wear. The amount of things you can do in this game is incredible. Gameplay wise this is easily the best Zelda game.

    The story in Breath of the Wild starts out great, the game has some of the most interesting ideas in the series and explores some of the characters in new and interesting ways. Unfortunately the story gets a bit watered down as it progresses and the conclusion is far less satisfying than past entries in the series. It isn't the worst Zelda story line but it isn't the best and I think it fell short of its potentially great concept. I did find that it was good enough to keep me immersed though and I while it didn't surprise me as much as I hoped there were some good moments. Overall I would say the story was good enough but certainly not great.

    The world is the true star of Beath of the Wild, it leaves all past Zelda worlds in the dust and is perhaps the best game world I have ever seen. Each region is massive and full of memorable locations. What really sets it apart from other open world games though is the level of freedom and interactivity. Climbing mountains to discover caves, seeing giant dragons in the distance, paragliding over ancient ruins, hunting goats on foggy hilltops. It feels alive and full of wonder. There is so much to be seen and discovered. It also has some of the most interesting towns and far more of them than past games in the series. While the towns aren't that big each one is iconic and has unique characteristics that make a lot of sense. Zora's Domain and Gerudo Town stood out as being very unique. There were some disappointing areas such as the Goron town but even it wasn't terrible, it just could have been a lot better and isn't the best version. While there aren't traditional dungeons there are 120 shrines, 5 divine beasts, 3 labyrinths and the best version of Hyrule castle by far. I can't say I didn't miss the traditional Zelda dungeons but I also don't know if I would trade all the new dungeons that this game had. The world of Breath of the Wild is without question the best in the series.

    Overall I think Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game and one of the best games of all time. it is a giant step in the right direction.

    I give it a 93%    … Expand

    That out of the way I'd like to make it clear that I haven't come here to balance out the mentalists giving the game 0/10. They're welcome to their own obsessions, and I remember being a partisan about one side back when the console wars were Sega VS Nintendo and Sonic VS Mario. I'm in my thirties now, and I've played games ever since my first Gameboy back in 1990 or so. I've owned the following consoles: GB, SNES, N64, GC, Wii and Wii-U; PSs 1, 2, 3 and 4; Xboxes 1, 360 and ONE, Gamegear; PC. I've missed very few if any of the truly great games on those machines and I've been consciously and unconsciously building up a 'Top 10 Greatest Games Of All-Time' list in my mind ever since I played the first game that really woke me up to the potential of video games as a medium. That game was Final Fantasy VI on my old import SNES(called Final Fantasy III for the American market.) and a few years after that game blew my mind I bought a copy of Final Fantasy VII for my PC and was even more blown away. Those two formed my top 2 until, a year later, I played Half-Life on my beat-up old PC, in the lowest possible resolution, and was utterly riveted for the duration.
    Ever since then, ever since that four year run between 1995 and 1999 my top three has remained a level apart from all the other games I've played. Great games like Majora's Mask, San Andreas, Resident Evil 4, Bloodborne...I've loved them all, but something intangible has separated those top three games of mine from the rest. FFVI, FFVII and Half-Life have just rested there, at the very peak, and nothing has really made it halfway up the mountain since.
    I have been playing Breath Of The Wild for the last month and it is the first time in eighteen years where I feel like I'm playing something that not only belongs in the company of those three games, but by all objective standards, trumps them.
    It is notoriously difficult, dear reader, to separate your ability to evaluate art from the age you were when you first experienced that art. The music I listened to when I was in my mid-teens hit me like nothing since then ever has. The films I saw when I was that age affected me more than anything that I've watched since. Of course I'm not so unreasonable that I believe that all of history's greatest art was released between 1995 and 1999...I recognise that the intensity of my emotions at that age meant I felt the impact of the art more keenly than I have since then, and that to a certain extent my list of all-time great films, albums, games, etc. is determined by the period into which I was born. If I was a teenager in 1968 I'd have said that The Beatles White Album and The third Velvet Underground album were the greatest albums of all-time, and if I'd been a teenager in the mid-noughties I'd be writing about how obvious it is that Resident Evil 4 is the greatest game ever made.
    So I realise that the games in my all-time top 3 are protected from being knocked off their perch partly by nostalgia. Don't get me wrong: I will argue for their objective brilliance, and I still think they have qualities that subsequent games in their genres have never come close to recapturing, but I feel that they are protected by the warm, intense rush of teenage nostalgia.
    My point is that any new game released after my 'golden era' will inevitably suffer by comparison simply because my emotions have become less intense over the years. and as a result it's truly difficult to judge whether a game(or an album, film, whatever), if I'd played it back when I was a teenager, would have made it into my top three. I think I'd have been blown away by Bloodborne if I'd played it when I was sixteen, but I'm not sure. It's a great game, but would it have been an all-time favourite? As it is it's hovering around the no. 5/6 mark in my GOAT list, but it hasn't pierced the top 3.
    All this self-indulgent reminiscing on my part is for a purpose - I'm trying to put across just how difficult it is for a modern game to shake me. Modern games are handicapped because they lack the sheen of nostalgia, they are handicapped by the sense that I've played something like it many times before, by the massively expanded choice of things to do these days compared with when I was younger. In other words, they have no chance of really hitting me like games used to.
    And yet...through that fog of cynicism Breath Of The Wild has pierced. It is beautiful. It is jaw-droppingly huge. It is a gamer's game, that allows you to control Link in a way that is unthinkable to CD Projekt Red or Bethesda or Ubisoft - quick and responsive and nimble in a way that no other open world avatar has ever been. And above all, it is mysterious and deep, like a forest that wants to pull you in, or a dark cave on a coastline.
    I have not stopped playing it since I got it. In short my top three has finally been reordered. BOTW may just be the best game I've ever played    … Expand

    What makes a game of this ambition good? It's interactiveness. If you have a giant open world that you can only traverse, but not interact with, it's empty. This game is the opposite of that.
    The climbing mechanic is fundamental, it means that you can truly explore the open world with freedom, anything you see, you can reach. But even the climbing has depth because of the stamina bar. You have to choose the least steep approach to minimise stamina drain and bring food/potions that boost stamina with you to help scale the grandest mountains.
    Why is the climbing and exploring great? Because the world is incredibly interactive like no other game. You can cut down a tree and throw objects at it to reposition it using the game's physics system. Once the cut down tree is in place you can walk along it as a bridge to cross a gap or freezing body of water. This is one example of interactivity. Another is lightning, if lightning strikes the grass, it will be set on fire. If the wind is blowing strongly, that fire will spread in that direction. The hot air from the fire will rise, allowing you to ride it up with a sail cloth to reach higher areas.
    All this interactiveness is fully realised through the powers you are given early in the game. The power to manipulate metal objects and the power to store, gather and unleash kinetic energy on objects helps you to creatively solve problems in the vast open world.
    These gameplay mechanics are in the context of a world full of enemies who gather in base camps and lookouts, waiting for you to openly assault them, stealthily kill them or creatively use your powers and the surrounding world to crush/burn/explode them. And if you play your cards right, you can get them to kill each other with their own projectiles, that's another example of how interactive everything is, a thrown rock will hurt anyone not just the target it was thrown at.
    But what happens when you defeat enemies? is the world left empty? or do they simply respawn when you look away? Fortunately it's neither. Through a mechanic I won't spoil, you will always be able to find enemies to fight in the world, they will not run out.
    And the enemies are ruthless, for the first time ever in a Zelda game I find myself dying, several times. Fortunately the game auto saves frequently, putting you back to your last auto-save point on death. This is perfect as it means that you don't lose much progress, but nor are you simply respawned instantly right next to your opponents as if nothing happened.
    It's two main features that define this game: interactivity and execution. More interactivity than any other open world game I've ever played, and the execution of the world design and gameplay mechanics is superb. This is all without mentioning the gorgeous graphics which for me make it the best looking game period. But I do not use this as a focus of the review as it's down to personal taste, I happen to love the art style, but some may not.
    Certainly for me, Breath of the Wild is the greatest game ever made, and I'm still less than 20 hours into it, but I'm sure this is going to be one that lasts well over 100 hours, potentially 200.    … Expand

However, with Breath of the Wild, Nintendo just lets you run free. No slow beginning, no hand-holding sidekicks, nothing. As soon as you step out into the world of Hyrule, you are free to do whatever you want, whether that's hunting monsters, combing the land for secrets, or following the main quest.

    In the game, Link awakens from a deep sleep and a mysterious voice guides him to discover what has become of the ruined Kingdom of Hyrule. Link meets an Old Man, and learns from him that 100 years prior, a great evil known as the Calamity Ganon rose up and laid waste to Hyrule. Unable to be defeated, it was sealed within Hyrule Castle while the ruins of the land were ravaged by nature over time. Although trapped, the Calamity Ganon has grown in power, and Link must defeat it before it breaks free and destroys the world.

    What pushes Breath of the Wild ahead of its competitors is the freedom it grants you. You can tackle the game's dungeons in any order you want, or just skip all the way to the final challenge from the get go. In fact, you don't have to do any of that to fully enjoy this game - you could easily spend over 100 hours finding and solving the game's 120 shrines, collecting the 900 Korok seeds, or just exploring as you please.

    Breath of the Wild doesn't just excel in exploration, but also combat, which is surprisingly deep for a Zelda game. You can sneak up on enemies, snipe at them from afar, or even use the environment to your advantage (like pushing a boulder down a hill and crushing them). Taking on bokoblin camps and giant guardians is definitely a highlight of this experience.

    Yet this near-perfect game is not without some flaws, the most prominent being the infamous Blood Moon, which is the game's way of re-spawning enemies onto the map. It's nice that Nintendo worked it into the games's lore, but it can be really frustrating when you've cleared an entire bokoblin camp, only for the entire thing to re-spawn right on top of you. It also triggers an entire cutscene whenever it occurs, which can take you out of the flow of whatever you're doing at that moment.

    Some other minor grievances include there being no way to fix broken weapons or shields, no way of healing without opening your inventory, it rains too often (which prevents you from climbing) and the fact that it has birthed an entire fan club who are shipping Link with Prince Sidon. Seriously guys, WTF.

    In short, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is what all games should aspire to be, with a beautiful art style, fun combat and an entire open world ready to be uncovered.    … Expand

    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida.

    Tanto a ambientação, com uma variação de musicas classicas dando para calma para o ambiente gigantesco, quanto a quantidade de mini dungeons encontradas com sua varidade de armas e itens.

    É um jogo para você jogar e curtir com calma, explorando cada canto do mapa procurando por segredos.

    Actually the best game ever. You can enjoy this game much better on the Nintendo Switch. You can run in a large country and have fun or you can battle with the boss.

    Juego muy bueno y recomendado, se nota que se ha trabajado mucho a la hora de realizar este título, buena jugabilidad y buena historia, un título que merece la pena sin duda para hacerte pasar un buen rato, sin embargo no todo de este juego es bueno, también hay un punto malo a destacar y es la introducción de los DLCs a esta saga, por el momento nada malo más que comentar de este juego.Juego muy bueno y recomendado, se nota que se ha trabajado mucho a la hora de realizar este título, buena jugabilidad y buena historia, un título que merece la pena sin duda para hacerte pasar un buen rato, sin embargo no todo de este juego es bueno, también hay un punto malo a destacar y es la introducción de los DLCs a esta saga, por el momento nada malo más que comentar de este juego.

    There is nothing to say that hasn't already been said about the gameplay itself. As far as the game as a whole, Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece. Hopefully it is remembered, played and replayed for generations as the 9th symphony is played today.

    This game shows perfectly how Open world should be.
    Beautiful Story
    Beautiful Soundtrack
    Beautiful Atmosphere

    You have more than the "one correct way" to solve a puzzle or dungeon.
    Its motivate to check out new ways.

    For me its the best game I´ve ever played.

My only wish is that it would be more challenging in some areas. The DLC is slated to contain a "Hard Mode," so I think that even my one complaint is going to be addressed before too long. I can't recommend this game enough. The Switch version is especially enticing, considering the ability to escape into Hyrule anywhere at any time.… Expand

    Pls believe me. This is why we loved nintendo years ago..
    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.

"If you can see it, you can get it." I can't remember who said that but It is true, the way you can do whatever you want and interact with so many things in so many different ways fill up the gigant world that you live in. The story is amazing, the gameplay even better and the most important thing to me: It's very fun and entertaining. I recommend Breath of the Wild for all players across the world and I hope that Nintendo will make a lot of money with it because they deserve it, believe me, they really deserve everything! Love you Nintendo, love you all and thanks for everything you guys made for me. Keep the amazing work and love for everyone, peace!… Expand

    It frankly disgusts me that BOTW has a 7.6 in the user score section. I'm sure that the people giving this game a 0/10 are the same people that bought Star Wars Battlefront and No Man's Sky.

    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.
