    I did not finish the game yet, but I have to say that it is a very good adventure, better than Zelda: SS and Zelda: TP. This game have some flaws, so you must not expect the perfection. Buy it if you have the time and patience.
    BTW I see so much hate in this game, probably we must change the name. Zelda: Wrath of the Immature

    Perfect. I think Breath of the Wild is the best game i've ever played. I love the art style and the fact of you can resolve a puzzle taking different ways. The story is short and simple, but perfect. I strongly recommend this game. 10/10

    An absolutely fantastic game. Truly will go down in history as one of the greatest games of the modern era, possibly even all time. A beautiful world full of content, challenging and mind boggling puzzles, with wonderful and innovative dungeons, though far and few between. This is truly the quintessential Zelda title, outshining all in every regard.

    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.

"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

    The world is huge, too bad its empty, and stuff renders really close to us, fog is also annoying and almost taking all the joy from the open world. There are also really few dungeons to play in, and almost all of them have the same bosses.
    As that being said, there are really few enemies you fight against, most of them are just recolors, the AI of the enemies is non existent, sometimes they could kill themselves when fighting on a hills...
    The animations are really hard to describe, sometimes they are as smooth as a silk sheet on the other time are clunky as hell and characters teleport their limbs around, this feels really weird. The amount of fighting moves is not high either.
    Graphics are the graphics you would expect from the free MMORPG game, not from high price stuff like this. Even though the graphics arent really exclusive, the game could have significant fps drops, sometimes even stutter when fighting many enemies at once, this is unacceptable for the price of the game as high as 50 pounds. Is this game in alpha stage? Because i cant tell, the game feels unfinished for me.
    My score is 2, the game doesnt deserve more, simply because it is stuck in time somewhere between 2009 and 2010, for the price like this you would expect something much more. Why would you play underdog Wii u, when you could play something much more advanced for the same or similar price???
    Both console and the game are not worth their price, i regret all pennies i spend on this, would have buy some league of legends skins instead...    … Expand

That being said I am now able to afford more than one console and the Switch was the perfect buy, because it allows me to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is insanely good, and a perfect game to start after finishing Horizon Zero Dawn. Zelda is gorgeous and quite frankly proves that more powerful hardware doesn't equal better games. Combat is fluid and super fun. The damaged weapon mechanic forces you to "Switch" up (see what I did there? ha!) gameplay style and manages to keep it relatively fresh. Zelda is also a LOT harder than I expected. Not so much on the level of Dark Souls or anything but enough to take me by surprise. I honestly cannot think of one thing I really don't like about Zelda. I was really worried because I was basically buying the Switch to play Zelda and ALMOST bought the Wii U instead due to it being much cheaper, but after using the Switch I'm super excited for what will come, and if there are several games HALF as good as Zelda I will be super happy.… Expand

    It brings back the childhood, the feelings of Ocarina of time. The true sensation of adventure.

    I originally gave this game an 8, but the more i play, the more i start to feel that this game is a huge dissapointment. Most of the time is spent running around aimlessly in the empty world, while the rest of the time is spent hitting enemies with a sword over and over again. Not to mention every enemy in the game is pretty much the same, but with different colours and skins.

The game overall can be a lot of fun at times, but these times are so rare compared to the boring and repetitive ones. The framerate drops are also something that definitely brings this game down, as it is too noticeable to just brush off. I really don't understand the praise this game is getting, especially since it doesn't have enough variety or innovation to call it a "masterpiece". I will say that the art style is very pleasing in certain areas, as there are some places where this game looks gorgeous. The story is also very interesting with some really nice voice acting, and the game does give a great sense of adventure.… Expand

    Lots of trolls here spreading lies and overall childish statements, have no fear and make no mistakes this is at the very least the best Zelda to date, its massive world its never dull and you'll be discovering new vistas and things to do well after the 70 hour mark, yet it doesn't force you to take all that time to finish it nor does it "end" your adventure once the story is over.

    This is a tough Zelda game, specially compared to the past few entries in the series, you'll die a lot.
    Graphics are good, nothing too fancy since it began its life as a wii u game but the cell shading style and vibrant colors make up for that, trust me, you'll find stunning sights to behold in the world and great character design in its inhabitants. (Funny how some trolling children that never touched a ps2 call cell shading "ps2 graffix!!").
    Frame rate drops? Occasionally, in select areas of the massive world and never enough to get you out of the experience, in fact I wouldn't even address them since they are minor but I have to because of the frame rate "scare" and trolls, a minor thing never the less, maybe on a smaller scale world it would be a point against it but not here, at all. This game is as big as you thought it would be, the story telling reminds me of Skyward sword and everything else is full of wonder an discovery, 10 out of 10.    … Expand

Ok, there is some slowdowns, and there aren't hundreds of different kind of enemies like in Dark Souls; but it is so incredible in every way, that it's impossible to not bow in front of it in awe, and give it the perfect score, which is not perfection, but the total marvelousnes this game achieves.

    A nice open world, but brings really nothing new to the table.

    I love open world games. I love The Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time. I always had a special heart for Nintendo software, starting from my childhood.

I always had a special heart for Nintendo software, starting from my childhood.

    Thing is, I planned on playing this game almost exclusively in handheld mode and when I did so yesterday, I noticed heavy aliasing, really heavy aliasing. I knew the screen was only 720p but I thought Nintendo would pack in some supersampling, but no, not at all. Because of that, it almost looks like a 3DS game in handheld mode, but with heavy flickering, something that personally distracts me heavily and can even lead to headaches.

    So I had to return my Switch with BotW just a few hours after having bought them. It is a shame, I would have loved to explore this world, but I currently have no tv for the Switch and handheld mode is unplayable. I wholeheartedly can say: The Switch sucks and it damages BotW badly, very badly. They had one year for this port, so it isn't just so bad because it was ported. Very sad quite a lot of reviewers didn't talk harsher about these dramatic issues, they were probably bought or never played in handheld.

    Alongside the hidden lack of anti-aliasing, there is the obvious low texture quality and frame drops. In the two hours I played this game I noticed one small freeze and definitely the low res textures. Render distance wasn't really an issue, but could be higher for more prettiness as well.

    The result is that the game is most likely very good, but also heavily hold back by bad Nintendo hardware. Especially texture quality and antialiasing have to be higher for a perfect score, maybe even the render distance. Because of these issues, I give BotW a 5/10, with the possibility for a 10/10 once they release this game on decent hardware.    … Expand

    I'm no Nintendo fan boy at all - I think the company itself are quite horrible with their YouTube policies, attempt to strangle video game rentals decades ago (along with Action Replay cheat carts) - but despite all of that, they put out astonishing games, and honestly this one might just be their crowning achievement ever.

    Yes, I'm talking about one-upping classics like Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Super Metroid... the lot. Breath of the Wild is the culmination of decades of experience from a company who may have just perfected single player gaming with one single masterpiece.

    I won't write much more, as I want to avoid spoilers completely - this game should be played blind and you should indulge yourself in it. Honestly, do what I'm going to do - put every other game on the backburner and enjoy this for the next month or so. It deserves your time and attention.

But i was pleased he did as it showed us just how many people can enjoy the SWITCH.
    It's a pure gaming experience and fun too!

    An hour later and my Zelda collectors edition, the collectors guide and my case and screen protector set had arrived.. and i'm simply blown away. The game is beautiful, subtle and deep, it's one hell of an adventure and it has only just begun.. i wont say any more because it is something that has to be played and on a console system that you have to experience.

    I have experienced no Joy Con issue's, no low frame rates, no stuttering or overheating.

    I have just taken my first step off of the great plateau and as my adventure lays ahead of me i cant help but think that this time round its also Nintendo's turn to take the leap of faith from off of a great plateu and into the Breath Of The Wild,.

Nintendo hace indies a gran escala. Es una pena ver todas esas praderas sin nada, como si de una textura plana se tratara. Por otro lado, este juego ha sido utilizado por Nintendo como su putita para vender la Switch. De ahí los multiples retrasos y el mal rendimiento, ya que es un port de wii u, que al intentar hacerlo mas grande, ha jodido las 2 versiones. El juego es bueno y negarlo es de necios. Quizá el mapa no debería ser tan grande y hacer algo más pequeño pero más vivo. Aclaro, como no hacéis muchos de vosotros (haters o fanboys) que NO he jugado al juego. Y NO hace falta. La historia? Hay que vivirla. No son ni buenas ni malas, son lo que son. El juego se ve bonito, especialmente cuando no tienes una pradera vacía en tu cara. Hay torres de viaje rápido desde cualquier punto del mapa (sigh). El combate es regular. Lo juzgamos como videojuego, no como Zelda. Hay videojuegos con sistemas más avanzados que ya llevan en el mercado años. En fin, un buen juego de Nintendo. Simplemente. Sin ir al "BUAH, ES LO MEJOR DE MI VIDA" ni al "BUAH QUE MIERDAAA GRAFICOS DE PS2 xddddddd".… Expand

    THIS GAME IS NOT PERFECT

    It is insanity to me that people can play this game and give it a perfect 10/10 score when the most important element a video game should have is missing: FUN Simply put, this game is not fun. It is beautiful, it is breathtaking, it is large. Beyond large. So large it is breathtaking. But it is not fun. As a die hard Zelda fan since birth it baffles me that    THIS GAME IS NOT PERFECT

    It is insanity to me that people can play this game and give it a perfect 10/10 score when the most important element a video game should have is missing: FUN
    Simply put, this game is not fun. It is beautiful, it is breathtaking, it is large. Beyond large. So large it is breathtaking. But it is not fun.
    As a die hard Zelda fan since birth it baffles me that people are too blindsided by the massiveness of the world in this game to see how bland and obnoxiously tedious every second of the game is. Let me explain why this game broke my heart into a million different pieces which I won't be able to pick up off the floor because this game no longer features heart pieces.

    - Initial reaction:
    Breath of the Wild was made for the Wii U. The concept of having the wii motion plus as a swinging sword in Skyward Sword was swapped for the concept of having a gamepad in front of you to act as your menu, your map, and to feature inventive ways of using items throughout the game. All of this was utilized when Nintendo designed Wind Waker HD for the Wii U. And all of this was scrapped for Breath of the Wild when Nintendo decided to have it released alongside the Nintendo Switch which doesn't offer a touch screen gamepad. So we were forced to wait an extra year and a half for a game to be dumbed down from it's original design. Within the first 5 minutes of playing this struck me as a huge let down but I knew the game would be so epic this major set back wouldn't matter. I was wrong.

    - Gameplay:
    Nearly every tried and true mechanic from the Zelda genre has been swapped out to fit what Nintendo clearly thinks of as "Mature" gaming mechanics. Instead of having a sword and shield you can upgrade you now have a plethora of weapons to loot off enemies which break after a very short usage... It's like being punished for playing the game. Even the Master Sword breaks.
    Link runs along with a stamina bar like he did in Skyward Sword. In fact he plays much like the Link in Skyward Sword except he's now in a world 800x the size meaning he is unbearably slow. Like snail dragging in quick sand kind of slow. The world is massive and you want to be able to scale every mountain, which you are forced to do at an unbelievably slow pace. The world also is not fun to explore. It's pretty to explore, but there is nothing to do that is actually fun because fighting, traveling, and item usage are all boring.

    + Graphics:
    Amazing. It's beautiful and there are no load times for anything. However there is a constant stutter and frame rate whenever you're around moving objects... Like grass. Grass is everywhere, by the way. So the game almost feels like a Sega Saturn game and the disc is skipping. Again, HOW can you give a game a perfect score when it just IS NOT PERFECT!?

    - Sound:
    The absolute worst feature of the game. Did they even make a score to this game? There seems to be a slight patter of piano in the distance behind you which plays softly among the never ending clatter of your weapon hitting your shield. The painful sound of Link walking is only comparable to water boarding. They added voice actors which is cool except the American actors sound extremely cheesy and amateur and there is no switching to Japanese voice acting, which if you've seen the Japanese trailer you know is amazing. And if you thought the sound effect of having one heart remaining in previous Zeldas was bad it's nothing compared to the sound effect of when you're near a shrine. Which is all the time.

    - Overall
    Speaking of shrines, there are no longer dungeons. There are shrines. 100's of them and they all have the same skin and are kind of like one puzzle you would find in a typical Zelda dungeon. You have to solve 4 of them, and then go to a goddess statue to have her give you more stamina or a heart container. YEP, there are NO heart pieces in this game! However there is an endless supply of food, materials, bugs, animals to kill, and a bunch of other things that the Zelda world did not need. There are 4 bigger shrines which are all very similar and probably the best part of the game.
    In general this game is just a giant middle finger to anyone who loves Nintendo and specifically the Zelda franchise. I'm convinced these perfect score reviews are all hired interns with Nintendo to ensure their stock doesn't plummet farther than it already has. And I hate saying this about Nintendo, I honestly LOVE NINTENDO. Sadly, these reviews mean the Zelda franchise will keep these horrendous changes, so thanks to all of you who made it impossible for us to ever have another Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker!!!    … Expand

    IMO Nintendo's games are on their own scale because we all expect excellence from a developer with infinite resources (EAD) and on that note this game is a solid 8.5. You can round up or down from that based on nit picking. For me my concerns proved true and there's hardly a story. On top of that the music is so sparse it feels like you could be playing on mute.

    Nintendo, like Konami with MGSV, focused on satisfying but eventually repetitious gameplay. Both companies sacrificed tight narratives in doing so. This could be a modern curse for Open World games. In Nintendo's case they also withheld on voice acting which just makes them look cheap in today's market. For instance Mario (Mario 64) talks more but has less lines of dialog. It's 2017 and Link still doesn't have a voice? Charles Martinet is perfect for Mario and so many other Nintendo staples why hold Zelda back in this area?

    If you've played Fallout 3, 4 and MGSV you'll know what to expect. It's none of those games in terms of story but in gameplay it's satisfying just not ground breaking. Certainly not a 10.    … Expand

    Got this game on release day. This is a very very addicting game. The open world is awesome. It is worth every penny. Amiibo is great, but not a must.

    I had huge expectations of this game and I really wanted Nintendo to come through with the goods on this one and they did.

    Pay no attention to the trolls who have crawled out from under their bridges to give review scores as low as 0 to try and discredit this masterpiece, regardless this game will go down in history as one of if not THE best game EVER MADE!!    … Expand

    Incredible game. Most impressive open world I've ever seen, with mechanics that outshine the rest of the industry. It's a game changer in open world design. It's complex, it's difficult, but it's rewarding. This game will go down in history as a classic. While Nintendo always knocks it out of the park with their 3D Marios and Zeldas, I believe this game is a step even beyond that.

    Le tengo que dar 7 ya que nunca he jugado un zelda, nunca me ha llamado la atención pero bueno...
    He visto un directo de casi 11 horas y por lo que he visto:
    Graficos Bonitos: Me explico, no son los mejores, pero tampoco son malos, son coloridos, molan, gustan verlos. Modo de juego diferente: Yo normalmente a los juegos que he jugado las armas no se rompen a la velocidad de la luz, que    Le tengo que dar 7 ya que nunca he jugado un zelda, nunca me ha llamado la atención pero bueno...

    Modo de juego diferente: Yo normalmente a los juegos que he jugado las armas no se rompen a la velocidad de la luz, que bueno, eso le da algo más de tener que hacer tus tácticas, preparte las peleas y resguardar el uso de las armas que tienes.
    FrameRate mejorable: Durante ese directo muchas veces habían bajones de Fps hasta el punto que en el directo se pillaba la imagen, no eran consecutivos, por lo que en lo que te olvidabas no aparecen, pero si eso se pudiese mejorar sería genial para todo el que tenga una Switch y el Zelda.
    Modo Historia rápido: Según me he enterado, hay gene que se ha pasado el juego en tan solo 35 minutos, lo cual dice mucho lo poco que se habrán currado la historia principal, pero eso no quita que el mundo abierto haga de puente entre lo malo y lo bueno, ya que según he visto es enorme, y eso puede dar muchas horas de juego.
    Esta ha sido mi valoración de un usuario que ni ha jugado un Zelda nunca y lo jugará, y si lo juego, será para ver si se merece este 7 o no.    … 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.
