    This is a game that takes the best aspects of gaming goliaths such as The Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Portal, and Assassins creed, then mixes them up in a cooking pot with the traditional Zelda games beloved by so many.

The result is a game that can rival the near perfect, polished game that was Ocarina of Time. While not truly innovative (but let's be honest, innovation of a concept is far less important than perfection of that concept), Breath of the Wild brings together dozens of mechanics and systems, both new and old to the series, and blends them all seamlessly to create an intuitive and exhilarating experience that few games can achieve. With so much content and so many ways to tackle that content, this is a game that can keep people enthralled and immersed in the world of Hyrule for dozens of hours with its simple but deep combat system and its fantastic platforming and physics puzzles. While this game is nothing short of a masterpiece, there are minor flaws. It's voice acting is often flat and due to the open nature of the game the story doesn't feel like a pressing matter. The former never really detracted from the experience, but it certainly didn't enhance it, while the latter is simply a tradeoff for the wonderfully open world where players are given enough freedom to make a libertarian blush. The last complaint that I can make and have seen other people make is about framerate. Nintendo does not make strong hardware, they never have, and Breath of the Wild pushes that hardware to the extremes sometimes, resulting in chugging framerates and sometimes even complete pauses in gameplay in the most stressful of situations. This isn't due to poor coding or an unoptimized game (see any Bethesda game), but is due to a hardware limitation fully out of their control. To complain about the game's performance is to complain about the hardware, and because these slowdowns hardly detracted from my enjoyment of the game I can look past them. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game that brings together so many amazing things from so many amazing games and blends them seamlessly and intuitively. I cannot articulate how intensely I believe that everyone should play this game. This is the defining game of this generation and if you enjoy RPGs in any capacity this game should be right on the top of your list to buy.… Expand

    Best zelda game I have played, thoroughly enjoying this game with no chance of stopping anytime soon.
    People have criticised zelda games in the past for being very predictable and formulaic, however this is no longer the case with BotW.
    Cannot stress how good this game is!

    Bad enough that there are fps drops on the Wii U version, but having a new console release in 2017 where the fps for a game with these visuals can drop below 20 fps, hard to enjoy an amazing story and world when your eyes are constantly being disturbed which breaks immersion.

    I bought this on the wii U never having played a Zelda game before and being a fan of open world genre and seeing the reviews I thought why not try it.

It doesn't look great, the gameplay mechanics are very very dated and the whole character / enemies and world thing is really corny and childish.

Frame rate issues are awful too, but maybe this is better on the switch. I only played the wii u version. Nevertheless this is far from a masterpiece.
    I feel like this was reviewed highly with nostalgia being a powerful emotion and over taking the reviewers thinking process. I understand Zelda was highly popular back in the day and with this game not looking like much of a big jump in to the modern gaming world maybe the reviewers felt even more nostalgic playing a very similar looking game than when it was on n64, looks wise and gameplay wise. This game just isn't for me.
    I will put a few more hours in to it if I can conjure up the will, but I will probably end up selling it on ebay.    … Expand

    This game in enthralling to begin, the idea of link in an open world is amazing, but it does get a little bit inconsequential after you get the glider, and outside of purposefully looking for little hidden things (that arent that hidden) I dont really find much of a use in travelling the vast plains or exploring the nooks and crannies of a valley. It's a lot of looting small things of value and killing easy enemies.

    I dont want to spoil much else, and there are some slightly new and cool mechanics to be found. These, however, dont touch the other issues.

    The FPS drops are massive. And I mean massive.

    It's not a Zelda game: to be more precise, it isn't an "Ocarina of Time" Zelda game. However, the collection is mostly an expansion on Skyward Sword's system, it still has the key characters, the main plot, and more puzzles than any other Zelda game. It is very clearly still in the "Legend of Zelda" niche".

    It's the same Zelda: Ironic that this and the last argument show up so frequently. The open world, the weapon hunting, horse taming, limited tools, short dungeons, varied and frequent shrines, etc. ensure that this game is very set apart from every other game in the series so far. You very much feel like a traveler trying to change the world instead of the unstoppable Hero we've come to expect from Zelda. If you don't like that, then see the previous argument.

    It's totally MEH: the sheer brilliance of this compelling and insightful argument has left me utterly dumbfounded and without words to form an adequate response. Truly a masterpiece of what I can only assume must be a brilliant and divine mind gracing us mere mortals with its incomprehensible wisdom and guidance.

    In short, Breath of the Wild has done an incredible, nearly perfect job of creating a unique and totally immersive world in a way I have only ever experienced in The Witcher. I consider these games on par at the moment, but that is able to change based on how the game continues.    … Expand

    Be wary of people giving this game a high score. They just might be trying to sell you on something.

    Things it did right: + Huge world with lots of little details, probably where Nintendo spent most of their time in development + The go-anywhere-and-possibly-be-undergeared motif of LoZ1 was translated to a 3D game alright enough + Made the mastersword rely on heart containers to    Be wary of people giving this game a high score. They just might be trying to sell you on something.

    Things it did right:
    + Huge world with lots of little details, probably where Nintendo spent most of their time in development
    + The go-anywhere-and-possibly-be-undergeared motif of LoZ1 was translated to a 3D game alright enough
    + Made the mastersword rely on heart containers to acquire it, much like the White Sword or Magical Sword from LoZ1. Probably the only specific callback to LoZ1 that translated "perfectly".

    Things it tried:
    • Redesigned many characters, going as far as never giving Link a hat in promotional art and changing his iconic color from green to blue, or Ganon who is now a demon spider instead of a pig, only a pig in spirit. Moblins were turned into weird long snouted lanky unicorn pigmonsters, Hinox were turned into somewhat-more-generic Giants losing their iconic(?) Bomb-throwing attacks.
    • Tried voice acting but traded player-freedom of naming their character so spoken lines could needlessly refer to you as "Link".
    • The go-anywhere-model of LoZ1 lost almost all likeness to most other Zelda games because of the way it was implemented. In order to go anywhere and do anything from the start of the game, the player unfortunately gets all their tools at the start of the game so no proper dungeons with proper treasures or item equipment that would otherwise lock one player from accessing things another player could gated via game progress- which also isn't necessarily even "true" to how LoZ1 accomplished it.

    Things it did wrong:
    - Traded the sweeping and catchy good music of traditional Zelda design even going as far back as the original LoZ1 for lighter, emptier, less-frequent ambient sounds to adapt to the world's environment of "musical" cues and reliance on things like stealth. As an original game this might have worked, but the tradeoff meaning no great "Zelda music" as many expect from the franchise doesn't work to a benefit. The weaker audio design fits their game design, but the weaker audio design of their game design doesn't fit "Zelda".
    - From a series known for streamlined access to health replenishment via bottles full of potions and frequent floating hearts, placing all healing behind food collection and menu access gets in the way of player intention within the world and only serves to distract the player or otherwise pad the adventure with unnecessary filler. Trivial for a series that virtually invented the concept behind the Estus Flask from the Souls games. Such an estus-flask-like method of healing would have more accurately emulated the streamlined healing of past Zelda games while still allowing them to get away from hearts in bushes and pots.
    - Related to food collection, the game design around killing simple non-zelda scenery animals unrelated to the variety of Zelda enemies for various Raw Meat items is woefully unnecessary and out-of-place for any Zelda game much less any Nintendo game. This concept was so poorly implemented to even include killing foxes and wolves for meat, in our modern society where both have been domesticated as pets or otherwise crossbred with domestic dogs to produce canines that look identical to their wild counterparts. Whether the player has the intent or not to harm them, they can be killed by enemies anyway. "Eating dog meat" is a gut-wrenching phrase I never imagined would describe an action in any videogame much less one from Nintendo, and has forever irreparably damaged my otherwise flawless opinion of the franchise and its creators.
    - No actual sprawling dungeons from a series known for it's sprawling dungeons is a weakpoint. The shrines, although numerous and fairly uniquely designed in terms of their puzzles, unfortunately still manage to all look identical and don't offer the same expected gameplay layout or scenic/regional design as cohesive interconnected hallways and rooms from traditional dungeons in other Zelda games. Even the four Divine Beasts operate more like "slightly larger shrines" than something remotely close to being considered a true "dungeon", with Hyrule Castle being the only "true" dungeon.
    - Enemy variety compared to past Zelda games and even many modern games is staggeringly low. All enemies and bosses counted, there are only 23 different monsters that are copied-pasted-and-recolored or given a slightly different weapon or elemental attribute to create the majority of Breath of the Wild's "variety". Even going back to Ocarina of Time, there were 46 unique enemies and bosses counted together, not including recolored or reskinned variations; and of course each mainline Zelda game since Ocarina and before Breath of the Wild has had virtually the same variety if not more. There are actually more background scenery animal species in this game than unique enemies, meaning the only true visual variety that exists is in the scenery itself - a negative only because enemy combat is a necessity.    … Expand

You drive it to its eventual route, not the other way around as what games have been lately, and this is coming from someone who mainly plays on PC. Neglecting what it holds just cause it's a Nintendo game or its Zelda or it looks cartoony and childish is mind boggling. Undertale should've taught you this lesson already as it was arguably one of the most well acclaimed games during 2015. Breath of the Wild is a breath of fresh air from games that have been suffering from an overly similar style of play. Games as of late are either GTA clones or Batman Arkham clones. They become either shooters or beat-em ups. Breath of the Wild takes what is already there and refines it. I cannot possibly stress enough that of how many games I've come across, Breath of the Wild brings the "open" to open world. Open to exploration, open to possibilities, and only open to your imagination.… Expand
