    Inputlag/problems with left controller and fps drops make the experience painful. Constant headache and eye pain, hope it's better on the wii U. The game it self looks nice and content rich but can't play more than 10 minutes at a time without vomiting. Shame as was used to stable 60fps on nintendo platforms and it was main reasons for me to buy nintendo products.

    I know some of the textures aren't the greatest, but I'm not a graphic enthusiast, so it's alright.
    There are some frame drops (TV-mode only), but that's nothing that lowered my enjoyment of the game.
    I like the new direction Zelda goes, because it's different from the previous games and I can understand when people say they don't like the open-world thing. I also wasn't very happy, when I first heard, that the new Zelda is going to be open-world.
    All in all this game is a masterpiece, even though I don't think that this game will be revolutionary like OOT.    … Expand

    I really expected more from this game, I prefer other games in the franchise, besides that visually makes me weird.

That is merely salty fanboys who don't have a life and probably weren't even born when the classics were around. That being said, this is one good game.

    Let's get the negatives out of the way first because there's very little of them: The graphics and textures look a little sloppy and the framerate dips (though not very often). That's all of the negatives.

    Now for the positives: The innovation in this game is quite astounding. I've played the Witcher 3, the Dark Souls series, Skyrim, and Grand Theft Auto IV (but not V), and this game has definitely a new feeling to it. When I play the other open world games, it feels like I have great scenery, but I am always limited by something. It was a little disappointing at times to feel like I was limited. Perhaps I can get over to that mountain, but there's no reason to really do it, and often I actually can't climb that mountain. Perhaps it's too steep or there's an invisible wall. In the case of Zelda however, there is the feeling that not only can I reach that mountain, but I can interact with it too. I can approach things however I would like and not only does it work, but it rewards you for it. That gameplay mechanic in of itself gives an incredible feeling and sense of awe. I can climb (almost) any surface, but I must be prepared to do so. Just having the tools isn't enough; you have to have the brains as well. To be quite honest,

    I did not enjoy Skyrim or the Witcher 3 as much as people hyped them up to be, and perhaps that is my own fault with my expectations. However, even with my expectations hardened, I felt Zelda made me respect that world and respected me. This game will allow you to do almost anything you want; the whole environment is interactable in some way or form (and yes I literally mean EVERYTHING. See that tree, you can cut it. The grass you can burn it, etc.), but if you are not prepared for it, you will be knocked down. I will not spoil the game too much, but all I can say is that the gameplay is truly incredible.

    Now onto graphics. The graphics were the only part of the experience that was not out of this world. There were some bluriness, pop in, and frame rate issues (though the last one is rare). However, that being said this is a VERY good looking game. I often found myself marveling on how I felt like I was playing a Studio Ghibli film. Though the resolution may not be the best, the artstyle is incredible and truly beautiful (which matters more to me) and the slight hit in resolution and texture quality was not bothersome. The artstyle makes the world feel incredibly alive and is incredibly beautiful. Even in this category, Zelda Breath of the Wild seems to excel if you can forgive some minor downsides.

    Next is sound. Though there are not much music, I must say the amount there is, it only added to my immersion in the game. I was initially disappointed when I heard that there would be less focus on music in this Zelda. Every Zelda comes with a classic soundtrack and hearing that there would be less of that in this one was somewhat disheartening. However, I take that back now that I've played the game. I actually prefer it this way. The game is so immersive that any overworld music, that was not the delicate sounds of simple piano that sometimes plays in the background, would have been immersion-breaking. You are so invested in what you are trying to do that simple overworld music may break you out of the experience. The sounds themselves are very impressive. You realize when there is something amiss in the atmosphere, or when you hear a sound you recognize it for what it is. It is very well-synced to the world.

    For the last one, story. I am not going to spoil this game. It's not just a game, it's an experience and only my 5th 10/10 ever since I started gaming in 1996 (for reference the other four are Zelda OoT, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, and Chrono Trigger). So, just hear this; I found the story to be good and mature and only helped to increase my immersion and enjoyment of the game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is truly something special. It's a masterclass game, an instant classic, a game that we will be talking about many years down the line. The world that this game takes place in feels truly alive; it is a game that will continue living on as one of the greats and is truly a legend.    … Expand

    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.

    It's rare for me to review a game and this would be my very first on Metacritic. Very seldom does a game actually affect me that I give it a perfect score. And I remember DOOM being the last game that I considered this good.

Very seldom does a game actually affect me that I give it a perfect score. And I remember DOOM being the last game that I considered this good.

    Ever since the first trailer, I knew this was going to be different. As a fan of Ghibli, the semblance hit me like a breath of cool air, refreshing and nostalgic at the same time. And to think it would come from a franchise that I had only read comics about, and seen videos of on the internet. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild quickly made a place for itself in my heart and mind, How long I had waited to finally play this. And the day finally came.

    Now, I've been playing this for a couple of hours, but I am pretty sure my mind won't change given how it was made a few months ago. With some of my favourite games being To the Moon, Kingdom and DOOM, graphics hardly mean a thing to me, not unless the art is not done well. And with the idea of the Switch not being a hugely powerful system and given the scope of the game world itself, the game is visually breathtaking. There has not been a moment yet when I decided to look away from the game, almost like I came across a magical landscape through a hidden window somewhere, I want to absorb what I see, I want to believe that I am right there. I can say this much, that I cannot even begin to justify the sheer beauty of what is seen with the words I use.

    And with beauty of sight, a very necessary detail that is needed is the beauty of sound. And the game delivers on that front. With music inspired heavily from Joe Hisaishi's works from classic Ghibli films, it is clear that the game developers were aiming for magic. And magic they conjured. Subtle and varied, the music itself is scarce in a world so alive. And that is where sound design comes in. Imagine you are standing in a magical forest. And there's the sound of the wind and birds, the sound of leaves and rain. A heavy portion of what you hear is filled with sounds like these, making it almost believable that you are there, in person. And that is what a game should set out to do in the first place, to immerse you in a new and mystical world.

    Art is usually what I am looking for in a game (my favourite games of all time : Ori and the Blind Forest, Transistor, To the Moon, Kingdom, Crypt of the Necrodancer, DOOM, Portal 2, Journey, ABZU, Firewatch, Minecraft, etc). So, it comes as a surprise to me that I want to talk about the gameplay itself. It's another first for me. The gameplay is surely refreshing, not to mention it being difficult. This isn't the frustrating difficulty that comes with games like Geometry Dash and similar games, This is the kind of difficulty that makes you wonder whether your own actions are worth the time. How you choose to take out an enemy requires not only planning, but also needs you to have to improvise as you go. Because no matter how much you perfect your fighting, things can be very different for you as you go along. The little things like weapons breaking, the weight of weapons affecting what you do, the material of the weapon allowing for environmental interactivity, the game delivers a unique style of world interaction and gameplay mechanics that I had found missing is games like Skyrim and The Witcher 3.

    All in all, I do believe that I am selling this game short. It has been a while since I have played a game this beautiful and enchanting. A visual and aural masterpiece. The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild is an experience and falls into the category of games like Firewatch, Journey and The Witness. I simply cannot not recommend this to anyone just because of fear of holding them back from an experience this good.    … Expand

    An almost perfect game. The game is strongly about its game mechanics and exploration .. having invested several whole games after i got the an early copy i sit with the feeling that this is a major change to its core game play.

The game is strongly about its game mechanics and exploration .. having invested several whole games after i got the an early copy i sit with the feeling that this is a major change to its core game play.

    First of all ! if you hate exploring then you have already a problem . The game really shines at its exploring and its the core of the game. The story comes second in the game .. so far it is not a bad story but its a bit short on main dungeons. Luckily shrines make up for most of it and if you count them as mini dungeons you get allot out of the game. Though the main dungeons have a cool mechanic i really loved and i would have loved to see more.

    The world is huge and its filled with content and fun thinks to do. Finding new thinks or finding Kor-oks ( DAM SPELL CHECKING !) puzzle is just a blast for me even the shrines are really fun. There are secrets in places you would never expect, Important resources can be found every where also in places you would never expect it to be at places when you just look at the full map. Again personally i feel the focus and the best part lies outside of the main story but the main story has also very good content and story .. The only negative thing i feel about the game is some of the voice acting tied into the main story. It lacks feeling and sounds like some old person reading out of a boring history book where he tries to read it in a way that small children find it more interested. Voice acting is odd often and i feel personally its not fitting the story very well .. Happily voice acting is not a big part and other parts are allot better. Personally this game is a 9 out of a 10 for me but i made it 10/10 because lots of troll spam here already with 0 reviews ( guess they are jelly that they don't have this game on there other consoles) There are not allot of thinks really dragging this game down and they are mostly only minor like HOW THE HELL TO YOU MAKE POTIONS ?? the game could have guided you a bit more but there is almost no guiding you from a to b something that forces you to explore and find the next spot. My last negative thing i feel is that some other mobs and all guardians are extremely powerful and it seems so far there is no easy way of killing them even with good gear, The game forces you to use brute force and dodging and here the weapon breaking becomes really annoying. It seems the game wants you to just avoid them. Something that i personally don't like . Mini bosses have most of the time weak spots though and bosses are not as hard as a guardian or some other mob like the centurion. Here the game forces you to change your play style .. again its not often but when you come over that it is really frustrating That's again why i would give the game a 9 out of 10. In the end i still love the game, It is almost a perfect gamer it has game mechanics you normally don't see. I needed do melt ice at one place and i was out of fire arrows and anything that could produce heat but i managed to set an arrow on fire and just walk over with that and melt the ice with that arrow by just holding it ( not even shooting it ), you can cook apples with a torch while its still hanging on a tree. Small incredible game mechanics like this are really mind blowing.

    In the end this game has me amazed and i love exploring the huge world that does not lack little secrets in spots you would never have expected them. Its definitely a good mix of exploration surviving and Zelda and its all you could wish.    … Expand

Breath of the Wild is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, not just for Zelda standards, but for gaming as a whole.

    From the moment you get out of your slumber, you’re invited into the stunning portrait of Hyrule, painted in an exotic green, with the perfect blue hue of the sky and red rays of the sun. It doesn’t take long before you’re on your own and adventuring out into the wilderness, trying to recollect who you are and find your way back as a noble swordsman like you once were.

    Breath of the Wild’s map size is huge. Really huge. The gigantic portion of the Great Plateau in which you begin is only a spec on the massive open world you’re put into. However, despite the size, it is surprisingly easy to find your way around thanks to landmarks and other cues that guide the player through the story and where they need to go next, but that doesn’t stop you from going off, exploring, and climbing wherever you please – or even going straight to Ganon if you so choose. It’s quite remarkable how Nintendo was able to build a game so big yet so coherent without ever losing a sense of value or direction. Everything you do feels like it has a purpose, and even if it may not seem like it right away, there will always be something down the line that rewards you for your efforts in whatever it is you do and how you choose to explore. Side quests among other tasks all have a reason and aren’t there to artificially increase the longevity of the game. Every task, every quest, every action impacts you and Hyrule as you see it.
    Hyrule is your playground. Now that you have the ability to go anywhere and do virtually anything, you’ll have to be well equipped – not only with a hefty amount of stamina to climb and run, but with equipment as well. Your weapons will deteriorate and inevitably break over time, which is why you should always be on the lookout for new ones, especially those that enemies drop. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’ve conquered a certain area because you see it as “the easy part of Hyrule”, only to get hit by a flame arrow seconds later that take nearly eight hearts off of you in one hit. Always be on your guard, and if you see your weapon is about to break, you can always throw them directly at an enemy for a critical hit for one last hoorah before having to switch (snap) over to another to defend yourself further. The same will apply to your shield and arrows, and each have their own attributes and strength, so carry whatever you feel is necessary. Even if something is of an extremely low value, when you don’t have much with you, it’s always good to take it with you just in case. I can’t tell you how many close calls I’ve had only to be saved by my measly low level laughable weapons thanks to throwing and headshots. A battle of wits will always conquer a battle of strength.

    Breath of the Wild introduces a new cooking system, and it’s an exciting mechanic to say the least. Those familiar with creating recipes by combining various materials gained from monster parts the items scavenged throughout the world in Monster Hunter will have a lot to look forward to. You can take just about any five items in your inventory and throw them into a cooking pot, and chances are it will make something worth having. I’ve noticed, however, that combining elements that make the most sense will give you the most reward. It’s no different from cooking in real life. Vegetables go very well with other vegetables, but sometimes meat will complement the dish as well. Maybe you’d like a nice steak with a side of carrots? Go for it. You’ll gain ten hearts for that alone. Or maybe you’d want to go the seafood route and cook some salmon with suateed mushrooms? Go for it. That’ll restore fifteen hearts and give you a temporary stamina boost as well as an increase in cold resistance. It’s all left up to the player how they want to cook, and with enough food to make the world go round, the possibilities are endless. Every dish will provide you with something useful, even the extremely gross ones.

    This game is just simply stunning and amazing! Game of the Century. Called it here (first).    … Expand

    I'm playing it on my Wii U and truly speaking, I want to try it on Switch in handheld mode.

    truly a gem though.

    I'd call it 11/10 because bs games like MGSV and GTA 5 got 10/10 from many media outlets.

    In almost every 3D Zelda, you're put on a liner path that progresses you through the game. While they still incorporated aspects of exploration, they lacked the formula that was present in the original Legend of Zelda. This game puts you through a short tutorial in the beginning and then lets you wonder off. No hand holding. Hyrule becomes your kingdom to explore. The game has also implemented a quest system that is similar to Western RPGs. There is a main story quest and a bunch of side quests. There are also over 100 mini dungeons known as shrines which feature puzzles that greatly vary in design. The gameplay is quite similar to Dark Souls/Shadow of Colossus. Certain enemy hits will completely deplete your health. Guardians will absolutely destroy you at the beginning. The music is very subtle and its ambience allows you to enjoy the sounds of nature that echo throughout this game. This game is a masterpiece. It scored 98 for a reason. Ignore the user score. Like I said earlier, it's being flooded by insecure Sony fanboys who are upset that this scored way higher than Horizon Zero Dawn.

BotW is the first game in a decade to receive a score higher than 9.7, and it shows.

    The world is beautiful, intricate, and alive. BotW does what so many open world games fail to do: it's a real "world" for the player to interact with. There is no hand holding. There are no false limitations. There are no fake loading screens. What you see is what you get.

    The gameplay is tight and controlled. You will be punished for your mistakes, and rewarded for creativity. The game gives you your main tools close to the start and you are free to run around in a massive sandbox with only the limitations of your imagination.

    All in all, this Zelda title strays far away from previous formulas, which in my honest opinion have become quite stale, and shows an entire genre how to make a game right. Yes, no game is perfect, and Breath of the Wild is not without its flaws, chief among complaints being somewhat dated graphics and framerate issues. But none of those things hamper the game; the positives outweigh the negatives far too much to matter.

    I hope Nintendo will take what it learned from creating Breath of the Wild and bring it to every one of their first party titles in the future. I look forward to what is in store for me and my Nintendo Switch on the horizon; ARMs, Spla2n, Xenoblade 2, and Mario Odyssey all look to be amazing smash hits. Thank you Nintendo for continuing to be the standard the industry lives by, and thank you for showing what's possible to all game developers out there. Here's to the Game of the Decade, and possible the Greatest of All Time.    … Expand

    Una obra maestra que hace historia en el mundo de los videojuegos, definitivamente sera nominado a GOTY 2017 y no me extrañaría que lo ganara, este juego debes jugarlo una vez en tu vida como mínimo.

    Preciso mundo abierto el que han creado, sin duda lo mejor hasta la fecha.

    This game is what Horizon Zero Dawn wishes it was. Don't listen to the crybabies review bombing this game. They're just jealous.

    Another absolute masterpiece from Nintendo. Will change your life.

    The legend of Zelda breath of the wild is fantastic! It is a breath of fresh air for the series! (Pun intended)
    The open world style from the original in 3D is just amazing and most of the controls that were old are now new and very good! 10/10

    Sadly, the Zelda fanboy army and obvious paid reviewers are giving this game an artificially high rating whilst in truth it isn't *that* good, there are many glaring issues right now, and the game does get repetitive after about 20 hours in, especially after grinding shrines/temples over and over for little reward.

    BotW would have been better if you didn't get all the tools and equipment you need within pretty much the first 20 minutes to an hour into the game. The gameplay is also questionable, with strange difficulty spikes basically saying ' you shouldn't be in this area yet ' so you die in one hit, whilst you don't lose anything you can lose durability since your weapons don't last forever and eventually you're going to need to craft items and especially potions.

    The crafting elements aside, the game is a psudo mixture of Dark Souls meets Skyrim? The game can be brutally difficult at times, and have a nice balance the next - whilst this isn't neccessarily a bad thing, I'm sure it could cause some player frustration.

    Whilst I think its a good opening title for the switch, the 90+ and especially 100s are all vastly over-rated scores, and shouldn't have scored that high. Sure this game is good, but it isn't that 'great' but its a worthy title to hold the Zelda name.    … Expand

    Everything in this game is just brilliant and amazing. I've played it for the past day and I just love exploring the map. There's so much to do!

    One of my favorite things to do is to slide on my shield and flying off ledges

    I'm absolutely blown away. Games like this come once every decade. Everything we had hoped for and more. I was very concerned at first, as Nintendo kept delaying the game. But damn was the delay worth the finished product. An incredible and immersive open world. Funny, lovable characters. Excellent combat. I'm about 6 hours in and the game is starting to get quite difficult. You'll noticeI'm absolutely blown away. Games like this come once every decade. Everything we had hoped for and more.

Excellent combat. I'm about 6 hours in and the game is starting to get quite difficult. You'll notice this once you can leave the Plateau and are given free reign to travel wherever you want. I got absolutely wiped out by the Guardians patrolling the field in front of the castle. I'm gonna explore the world more and more, before committing myself to the main quest. I really love how this game gives you freedom that is lacking in most open world titles. I don't think that I've been this struck in awe since the days of Ocarina of Time on N64. Bravo Nintendo! Way to prove that you guys are still the best in the business. I give this is absolute 10/10. A perfect game for the greatest video game franchise of all time.… Expand

    The game is great. As for those saying it is boring or too easy I don't agree. The direction of the game was to explore and solve puzzles. It keeps the Zelda charm while building on the past models.

    I still think link to the past is the best Zelda game in the series but for a 3d Zelda this is a must play.

    Jogo expetacular em todos os sentidos: enredo, jogabilidade, arte. Sucessor à altura do Ocarina of Time, ou como tem saído em alguns meios, consegue até superá-lo.

    Not as good as the critics make you think it is, but overall a pretty good game. The story is not excellent, the combat could use some more polishing, but the world created is simply marvelous.

    It's a gorgeous game. The music is fantastic. The story is nice, too. I love the emphasis on exploring in this beautiful world. I want to find every secret there is. I'm also really happy with what they did with horses. We're not stuck with Epona anymore. We can catch our own horses with whatever coat colors we want and they have different stats.

    Nintendo did it again. They created another legendary game. I can't even put to words how amazing this title is. They finally modernized one of the most legendary series of all time. The new inventory system is a bit annoying at first, but you get used to finding new weapons. I've noticed literally no frame drops, and I just updated to the latest software.

    A return to form for one of the most beloved franchise in video game history. The open world is stunning, interesting and entertaining. Probably the best Zelda ever and maybe the best game ever.

    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.
