    This game is overrated as hell, almost as bad as God of War: Ragnarok. People treat it like it was delivered by god himself and that not worshiping it would be a sin.

It is probably the worst game on the switch, maybe on any Nintendo console ever.… Expand

    Really overrated to be honest didn't deserve the GOTY
    2017 was actually a pretty mediocre year for gaming with just a few exceptions and Zelda just wasn't good enough for me and I'm honestly surprised from how much praise it gets and people just don't accept some of it's flaws

    -les armes qui se détruisent, OK mais trop vite
    -un monde immense, OK mais trop vide et trop long a parcourir pour pas grand chose -quelques ennemis potables, OK mais seulement 4 de différents
    -un système de quête classique rpg, OK mais laissez pas le stagiaire les écrire
    -des casses tête et énigmes, OK mais si c'est faisable par un enfant de 6 ans c'est malheureusement trop simple pour la moyenne des joueurs et on s'ennuie
    -un doublage fr, OK mais seulement 1 phrase par personnage majeur sinon j'espère que vous aimez les onomatopées

    Je peux continuer comme ça longtemps, dans les idées c'est pas si mal alors pourquoi le jeu est aussi.. MEH ?
    En bref ça aurait fait un bon jeu mobile a la limite mais si on me l'avait pas prêté j'aurais pas foutu 60 balles dedans

    Pour mes propos si dessus j'ai évidemment terminé le jeu a quasi 100% (je ne compte pas le remplissage omniprésent évidemment)

    PS: j'écris ça a la sortie de TOTK, qui a tout l'air d'être un DLC à 80 euros
    Je vais sûrement pas le faire alors j'espère qu'il sera noté à sa juste valeur    … Expand

    The best Single player ive ever seen. Great Open world. More difficult than other switch games and better than every Play station game

    I have always hated this game. Every since it came out I played it and never enjoyed the game.

    No dungeons and no items to unlock. Enough said. It's barely even a game. More of a Hyrule simulator or something.

Puedo ser generoso y darle un 5 en Wii U, por el esfuerzo y tratar de hacer algo diferente, pero este juego destruyó la saga de Zelda, cambio la fórmula completamente, un mundo abierto repetitivo, con una historia muy aburrida, se podría decir que el único objetivo del juego es explorar, porque ninguna mecánica es divertida, realmente no entiendo la devoción por este juego.… Expand

    Challenging at the start, but once you get a handle of it you won't want to put it down! So immersive, the music is beautiful and the freedom that the game allows you is nothing that's been seen before! 10/10 would recommend, especially if your a fan of puzzles, and enjoy forging your own path!

    The fans of this game are very annoying, and it's hard to say anything bad about the game. They don't have the fun of opening treasure chests or the desire to explore, and there are too few rewards for feedback. The map is particularly spacious, and the modeling is also so rough. The combat system is really garbage

    Extensive and lifeless map, leaving the game proposal that is good in a boring and monotonous experience after a few hours of play. Meaningless missions that add absolutely nothing. Weak rewards that don't encourage the player to chase missions. No subtitles in other languages, mainly Portuguese (mainly for the price charged in Brazil).

    I want the old Zelda type of games back.
    This is not really Zelda.
    And the switch is to slow, you can not play in 1080p.

    This game follows the generic Nintendo game franchise called Zelda. In which the protagonist saves the princess. Want a more Nintendo “story” than this? He may be a plumber, a swordsman, but that's what it's all about.

    The open world is completely empty of content, with repetitive puzzles called Shrine, and a story that makes any child sleepy. The gameplay is 100% limited to Roll and    This game follows the generic Nintendo game franchise called Zelda. In which the protagonist saves the princess. Want a more Nintendo “story” than this?

    The open world is completely empty of content, with repetitive puzzles called Shrine, and a story that makes any child sleepy.

    The gameplay is 100% limited to Roll and Hit, typical of generic and industrial Souls Likes games, which are facilitated for players limited to pressing two buttons. The difference here is that we have more colors.

    The game copied several mechanics from other games like Ark Online, among others, but for an outdated platform that is the Switch, this can be innovative.

    I'm amazed how Nintendo manages to sell the same game for 30 years with the same story (Spoiler: no story) every time. Who knows, maybe next time they'll be able to innovate and make Link not lose his memory again.    … 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]
