    No necesitas tantas palabras para describir a esta obra de arte, lo que me impresiona más es el odio que esta belleza genera en los "Fanboys" de Microsoft y Sony. Me imagino que cuando no puedes tener algo, no te queda más que criticarlo lo más que puedas para tratar de ocultar tus inseguridades. Este juego viene a ser el mejor de la saga, lejos.

    I love every second and am fascinated by it, it is a HUGE universe to explore and Link is so reactive to that same universe that you can submerge yourself into it. After playing for hours I felt completely uplifted. So satisfying!

    I've never played such a wonderful game since Ocarina of Time. In my opinion Nintendo made everything just perfect. I can't stop playing that game. I love it

    Juegazo, mucho mejor que el del brujo. Es increíble lo divertido que es, lo único malo, es la envidia que provoca, que hace que la gente que no puede jugarlo intente hablar mal del juego.

    This is dumb, and not even useful in anyway, but whatever.

    The game: Is not a 4k HD FULL 40 DLC 60 fps game like kids like this days. Its just another Nintendo almost-perfect game made by the best on the company. Just that and nothing else.
    Zelda has always been good, but THIS is something way different, this one tries to expand a lot more, even, tries to let the old Zelda meta behind, this is diferent, this is not "another zelda", is a new formula, and you know what? it works. It FEELS like a Zelda, but totally new, open world, and way, way, WAY longer in playtime, and probably even with a lot more of replayability.

    The music (so far) doesn't feel as good as the old Zelda games, but that is a really BIG standard to go in the first place, maybe when it gets some years we will get the "nostalgia effect" on its songs. But about dungeons (Or shrines), and the main story in general... i have nothing bad to say.

    10/10, yep, im a Zelda fan, but i know not every Zelda deserves a 10, but this one surely do.    … Expand

    Maybe the best game I have ever played. This huge open world is also a playground of ideas. You can do anything you want and in any order. I've mostly spent my time climbing mountains just to paraglide off of them. Amazing story, great combat, and very tricky and fun puzzles.

Almost everything about this game is amazing, top to bottom. The only limit to this adventure is your imagination. If you have a wii u, play it. If you have a switch, play it. If you don't have either, go to a friends house that has this game and go there very often. It is absolutely worth your time. 10/10… Expand

    20 hours in and I can already tell this is the best gaming experience I've ever had. Every time I think there's a set of rules to follow, the game allows me to break it and surprise me. The game itself challenges your creativity in surpassing obstacles with your wits. Marvelous.

    un videogioco che racchiude dentro di sè molteplici significati trasformati in esperienza di gioco: l'essenza stessa dell'avventura,dell'esplorazione,della poesia,della magia e più in generale la quintessenza del concetto stesso di intendere il gaming.Capolavoro indiscutibile.

    Es uno de los mejores juegos de que he jugado, un mundo abierto sublime y lleno de vida, muy hermoso el juego, además que si te agrada explorar, este es sin duda la mejor opción, ademas que es facil olvidar la mision principal por explorar los lugares.

    A flat out masterpiece of a Zelda title, I can guarantee you'll spend at least a good solid day playing this game.
    And it doesn't end there. When i first picked it up, I was sort've scared since this was the only title that kept my interest for the switch launch. but its worth every penny, and I wont regret spending more for the hours of enjoyment I had.

    The Game does have its bugs but its pros outweigh it so much that it doesn't even matter at all. The game is truly a master piece. I get bored of games so fast its ridiculous, 4-6 hours is the average playtime on a given video game title for me before im absolutely bored with it, but here I am 20+ hours in on Breath of the Wild absolutely hooked and cant get off.

    The Zelda franchise finally returns to its roots: open-world exploration. We've been stuck with linear Zelda games for too long, and it's a great refresher to experience what the original game from the 80's would likely have been if Nintendo had today's technology.

Overall, I thought it was a masterpiece. Though it suffered from frame rate issues in the grassy/shadowy reasons such as the Great Plateau and the forest regions.This game was difficult but not on the level of the Dark Souls series. You're able to regenerate your health through food and elixirs. I also didn't care for the weapon durability. It would have been okay if it was just the swords. But the bows too? Those are my complaints. The positives greatly outweigh the negatives. Fantastic combat. Beautiful music. Immersive world. Freedom. The shrines are very intelligently designed and rely on logic. Some enemies seem to be tanks that take forever to kill but I'm used to these types of enemies. Don't know if I'd call this my favorite Zelda game. Ocarina and Major'as are still the pinnacle of the series to me. Overall, though it is one of the best games that has come out in years and definitely the front runner for Game of the Year.… 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.
