This brings one ofThis Zelda game defied all expectations. The art style is beautiful and there are so many stunning views available due to Links ability to climb almost anywhere you can see. Right out of the gate youre given everything you need to explore the world and take the game as you please. This game sprinkles puzzles everywhere instead of simply placing them in the dungeons. This brings one of Zelda's best aspects (puzzel solving) to the forefront of the entire game instead of dredging through tedious tasks in a race to get to the next dungeon. I often find it hard to complete my tasks quickly as the world is just so delightfully distracting and fun to explore.

    The new weapon system was a big bummer at first but it quickly became a non-factor as you constantly find newer and cooler weapons. In fact, I often have to discard a weapon from my inventory just to pick it up. I see many people complaining about the lack of "unique items" like the hookshot and so forth that are unique to solving a dungeon or allowing access to a new area. To me this was always one of the worst aspects of the Zelda series: locking you into a narrow path that can only be traversed via a *conveniently* placed item. Had the baddies only removed that item from the dungeon they had taken complete control of, you'd never be able to beat it - plot hole much? Not to mention you find WAY more unique weapons, shields, and other items throughout Breath of the Wild than all the other Zelda games combined. Do you really care that you don't get silly items that you use for 1 or 2 areas and generally don't need to use again? The old way made navigation through the world about what you couldn't do yet and having to come back when you can, the new way makes it so you can practically go anywhere and do anything as long as you can figure out the puzzle of how to do it - and that's why simply exploring is just so dang fun.

    The additional RPG elements are a great bonus. Crafting, upgrades, and cooking add a new layer to the game that creates additional goals and purpose to exploring every nook and crazy of the beautifully crafted world.

    This is without a doubt the best Zelda game ever made. It is a revolutionary change to the formula, one to rival the greatness of Ocarina of Time when it first broke the mold of the "traditional" Zelda games before it. Like Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild has those who will kick and scream at the changes, but history will show this game as the start of the new golden Era in the Zelda series just as OOT had done so many years ago.    … Expand

    Okay everybody ignore the hate this is one of the if not the greatest video game of all time definitely worth it and a extraordinary time. The controls are smooth, Combat is fun, the puzzles are always fresh and creative, and the story is emotional but also uplifting with many more emotions. 10/10.

    Hands down most challenging and open world Zelda game. Very easy to get sucked into the game's world and atmosphere!

    The lack of linearity is sometimes overwhelming, but no other games capture this same sense of adventure. Totally worth buying a Switch just for this game! I can see myself putting in more than 100 hours into it.

    Solid open world adventure with many things to do. Even though I have completed the story, I have only completed 22 percent of the game and there are so much more left for me to do. I would give it a 9.5 because it lacks hd rumble and i would certainly love to have a durability checker on weapons and shields.

These things are not an issue to me. JUST ENJOY THE GAME!!! Now on to the review...(no spoilers). Note: Not a total nintendo fanboy, I also love playstation and my pc so no bias here although am a huge zelda fan.

    Holy mother of pineapples! This game is so amazing. Just the feel of the game, gameplay, graphics (for a nintendo game), and story are so well done. I have been a huge zelda fan since oot and can definitely say this game can really go toe to toe with the perfect game that was oot. How the game puts you in a huge world like in this game and basically just tells you to have fun is just what makes it so fun for me. You make the decisions on what you want to do in this game compared to the past games that were more linear and forced you to follow a smaller path. There are so many mechanics in this game and I still think I haven't learned all of them. This game is all about exploration, discovery, adventure, and of course being an awesome hero that will save Hyrule. Story is not totally up there but is understandable to how this game is with its gameplay and open world to explore, do love seeing all the well done cutscenes when they pop in though.. So many barriers were broken with this game in the Zelda franchise which makes me have hope in Nintendo again to bring more great experiences in the future instead of always using the same old same old with some of their other franchises. The game is hard to put down after playing it...sadly my body needs sleep, food, and bathroom needs. Bravo to Nintendo. GOTY 2017 contender for me personally.    … Expand

    I picked up the Switch and Breath of the Wild during launch and I am currently still playing after 6 days, The game is fantastic, one of the best I've ever played. The console itself isn't my favorite but it is still a lot of fun.

    Breath of the Wild has a wide range of things to do that will keep you busy for probably way over 100 hours considering how long I've been playing. It's open world boasts a large play area for players to test mechanics in the game and learn things that can be helpful to them later on. Shrines dotted around the world give the players a goal to try and conquer each one, including the shrine quests which make them much more interesting trying to solve riddles that are given to you from NPCs scattered around in different towns and towers. The sheer amount of detail that Nintendo have packed into this little cartridge is mind blowing with the realistic mechanics that you need to use. Overall for the world it will keep you occupied for a while making it hard to get bored whether it be cooking, horse riding, shield surfing, exploring, collecting and the list goes on and on.

    The story line is good, not the best but it is good. I think they are saving the story for the DLC packages that are being released later on throughout the year, I'm not a huge fan of DLC but I'm interested in how Nintendo will deliver the new story line. The character development is nice as the game dives into the history of important characters in the game through very good story lines in quests which will all add up to the end game. Memories are also a great part of the game, as Link has no memory he must regain it by searching around the massive world learning new and old things which pieces the puzzle together after many, many hours of exploration and quests.

    Performance wise, the game is OK for the majority of the game although SOME areas challenge the Switch it doesn't ruin the overall experience although I can understand why some people are annoyed by it but it is very short bursts that occur rarely. The patch fixed most of these issues.

    Overall, Breath of the Wild boasts the true creativity that the team behind Nintendo hold, I have to say that Nintendo have many talented developers that are loyal workers considering the dark age they went through during the Wii U's lifetime they still have the ambition and motivation to deliver greatness. After 5 long years waiting for the game it was definitely worth every penny and yet still there are many side quests and shrine quests that I still need to do.

    This is in my top 5 games I've ever played, considering I've never played a Zelda game before this I was surprised as to how much I loved it and understood some references that they sneaked in making the world of Hyrule a wonderful place to delve into.

I have been a massive Zelda fan for 15 years - and this game stands tall amongst the best.

    The vastness and beauty of the open-world, and the constant exploration through the wilderness is a feeling I have not had before from a video game. The freedom this game gives you is almost overwhelming. There are distinct Zelda elements throughout - familiar items, races, mechanics etc - but there are also complete fresh reinventions to the series that have not been done before, and it is here, I feel, that lots of the negative reviews are coming from. Don't get me wrong - everyone is entitled to their own opinion - but I personally feel that doing a few things differently is not a bad thing - every Zelda game has brought something different to the table - why not this one too?

    People have complained about the music - whilst I agree there aren't as many catchy melodies as there have been previously, the new, gorgeous piano driven music trades "catchyness" that for an incredible atmosphere - and I feel sorry for those who can't enjoy what this style of music is bringing to the game. People have also complained about the exploration being slow - but for me, I find it enormously satisfying, turning over every leaf and finding all the secrets the game has to offer. Another complaint people make is that the weapons break - whilst frustrating at times, it adds an entirely new survival mechanic to the game.

    I suppose what I'm saying is - depending on your personality and patience - if you take the things that make this game different from other Zelda games and embrace them (rather than complain about them) - then this game stands to be Zelda perfection alongside the great Ocarina of Time.

    I would also like to praise the storyline and voice-acting which is brilliant and completely fresh, yet fits perfectly into the Zelda universe.

    My only complaint would perhaps be the lack of classically colourful, unique-looking, sometimes claustrophobic Zelda dungeons (though I do really enjoy the new shrines!). I still give the game a 10, because taking this into account, I'd give it a 9.6 which is still rounds to 10.

    Really take caution with the negative reviews, they are very subjective - I feel you get from this game what you want to. I am so happy with this game, it is a true epic.    … 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]
