El mecanismo de las mini mazmorras es bastante original para conseguir resistencia y corazones me sorprendió bastante este viniendo de la saga Zelda la cual en su mayoría se obtiene en mazmorras obligatorias y exploración del mapa profundamente en bastante inmersivo en ese aspecto y nada mas que decir el juego tiene su 10/10 muy merecido y sinceramente un juego hecho con amor y dedicación porque desarrollar un mundo así de vivo debe llevar un trabajo muy fuerte y constante.… Expand

    It was stated by devellopers that the design philosophy here was to make everything accessible from the start. Well, I think this is an awful philosophy, considering that "go anywhere you want from the plateau on" really means "do basically the same things you've already done over and over again because there is no progression".
    The cooking system is shallow and repetitive, not to mention it can be used to break the game because you can just stack food indefinitely.
    Every progression mechanic in the game is basically an RPG-lite mechanic that boils down to "kill x to upgrade x's stats", or "find same weapon with better stats", with stats only referring to durability and damage output.

    The combat is ok, but for most encounters, spamming the attack button will suffice, and you can avoid nearly all ennemies quite easily. That would be ok if the loot you get from ennemies would be worthwhile, or fighting ennemies would grant you access to more unique areas, but unfortunately it's pretty much a self-contained loop, making it better to disengage from combat most of the time.
    Environmental interaction, for being praised so much, is NOT significant most of the time, fire and ice suck, electricity is only good in that it's an OP mechanic that can be used anywhere (only that in water it's completely busted). Also the game severely lacks ennemy variety. In the overworld, you'll encounter about 4 ennemies with re-skins (really not counting the blobs and the bats, because those are just pathetic), and 3 bosses.

    Now, exploring the world itself feels satisfying enough. The traversal mechanics are good. The shrine quests specifically are good, but they are too few and far between to completely redeem the game's open world. The 4 basic dungeons are also good, as is the DLC dungeon, and trials of the sword is also pretty fleshed out.
    Those are all good things that taken together make the game stand a little bit above most open-worlds, but it just doesn't wash away the fact that you are playing a tech-demo that overstays its welcome.    … Expand

    A ver, como videojuego es muy bueno y largo. Pero cuando uno califica un juego es en su totalidad, y la verdad hay cosas que no puedes dejar pasar por alto:

Ni hablar de los bajones por debajo de los 20fps    A ver, como videojuego es muy bueno y largo.

    - Port mediocre: Se supone que este era el gran plato fuerte del inicio de Switch. Es un juego que fue trabajado para Wii U pero la Switch ni siquiera puede mantener 30fps estables... Ni hablar de los bajones por debajo de los 20fps cuando estamos en los bosques o hierba alta.
    - El Joy-Con drifting es donde más molesta es en este juego. Simplemente insoportable. Este juego drena la batería como una sanguijuela. No llego ni a las 3 horas con este juego.
    Ahora lo que más critico del juego, quizá, es la ausencia de grandes desafíos y de una historia bien construida. La verdad es que en ambos puntos es donde más flojea el juego. Se nota la falta de mazmorras y lo de los Santuarios, lugares totalmente vacíos, no representan desafíos memorables ni de gran altura. La historia está ahí, más como excusa que como otra cosa, no tiene mucho peso para decir verdad. Y salvo por uno o dos personajes (Sidon y Mipha) se siente mucho hueco aquí.

    La banda sonora está bien, y en cuanto a físicas y mundo el juego sobresale mucho. Pero siento que al juego le faltó algo más desafíos, los Centauros los sentí más desafiantes que el jefe final que fue un chiste para ser sincero. Pero en ningún momento sentí que este fuera más sobresaliente que otros juegos como Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask y, muchísimo menos, Ocarina of Time.
    El juego está bien, lo empaña bastante el port, y diría incluso que tuve mejor experiencia jugándolo en emulador. Pero así y todo no es un juego que vuelva a tocar, ni un juego que me ha encantado como tal. Sólo espero que Breath of the Wild 2 lo repiense y vuelvan las mazmorras y los desafíos.

    I finally picked up a switch after all these years and picked up BOTW, MarioKart, and Smash Brothers. The 3 quintessential Nintendo games.

The 3 quintessential Nintendo games. Since then I've barely touched Mariokart and Smash Brothers because I've been absolutely hooked on Zelda. This is definitely the best Zelda game I've played since the Snes days. I would say there are only 2 negatives for me with this game, which are actually design decisions and not actual flaws:

    first, the weapons simply break too fast. This is alleviated immensely with extra slots when you progress, but it's still very annoying when you run out of weapons and shields against a tough enemy. I always found myself hoarding good weapons for those surprise encounters against a Lynel or boss fights. I think a better system would have been to let us repair those weapons with stuff we find in the world, same as upgrading armor. Also, why doesn't the armor break? It doesn't make sense. But say you have a wodden Boko bow, you should be able to repair it using wood and Boko parts. Simple.

    Ok Second, I love climbing around and I have no problem with the stamina wheel. But good God man to whoever decided that you can't climb during rain. I can't count the times I had a long tough climb, chugging elixirs all the way, getting right to the end and failing cuz it started to rain. LOL. This freaking happened all the time to me and I would go ape **** Seriously.

    So that's it. The rest of the game is flawless. It sucks you in so bad you will not be able to put it down. It's the best open world game ever made. There is literally something to find in every corner of the world, which is huge. There are so many side quests and little missions to complete, I honestly don't know if I'll ever finish 100%. You can have a goal when you start playing only to get side tracked exploring some interesting areas and find hours have gone by.

    Plus, this is one of the only games where the rules of the world totally make sense, so if you just think logically and try something it probably will work. Like the first time I realized that metal chest at the bottom of a river can simply be picked up with the magnet power. LOL, I spent at least half an hour trying to get that chest, and then it just dawned on me. I just got the magnet power right before this and sure enough I was able to latch on to the chest and pull it out of the water. LOL, I felt so dumb. That's just one example though. This game's puzzles are completely logical and it does not hold your hand, but let's you just work things out. I find that respect for the gamer very gratifying.

    Kudos to Nintendo for making this masterpiece. It's amazing and almost perfect. Best game i've played in a very long time. I really hope Nintendo puts out the sequel soon and also really want a new Metroid adventure. Nintendo = Quality over Quantity always.    … Expand

This game is my least favorite zelda game by far. This game could have been so much more. It feels like they made a game, and just slapped "zelda" on it, without including what made LoZ great. Dungeons: There aren't any. The divine beasts just feel like shrines that are in a machine instead of an underground stone structure. The shrines/beasts themselves are very linear, but too small to make up for it. A lot of previous LoZ dungeons were linear, but you would get a cool item and have secrets to find. the shrines and korok seeds are the "rewards." There is no sense of accomplishment. Many people dislike the durability, but I actually find that to be one of the good things about the game. However, where are the tools and various items you aquire? Instead they give you a few tools within the first 20 minutes. IMHO, if I can fight the final boss and win within the first 2 hours of playing a game, that is a waste of my money. There is no feeling that link is becoming a better hero throughout the game. The only LoZ that had a worse story was link's crossbow training (lol). The characters had no depth to them, and it felt like the towns were there just for you to look at while walking up to the town leader to progress. This game focused everything on looks, and somehow ended up with an empty world still, and looks don't equate to gaming experience (just play OoT. Very angular graphics, phenomenal gameplay.) A lot of people praise the combat, but this game's combat is trash compared to TP and WW. The combat could be a lot better however with one thing: BUTTON MAPPING. They changed controls for SS, but that was for the wii, makes sense to be different. They then switched their controllers to have the same button placement as before, and then switched the controls. Why can't i swing my weapon with B? They said, let's make a LoZ game that's like an elder scrolls game, but we'll make the controls different than either of those. The controls are so unintuitive, it ruins the game. after beating the game to 100% twice (all shrines and all seeds, which is a waste of time), I still find myself pressing the wrong buttons constantly. I'm also very used to FromSoftware games as well, so It isn't a muscle memory thing. The button that feels like it should do something, it does something completely different. This could have been completely avoided if we could change the controls (you can switch jump to B and run to X,, but I don't want run to be x or b, or for jump to be x or b, so). It's a zelda game. Attack is B, period. with how many times I want to run and then jump, why can't the buttons be next to each other? The bosses suck. reskins of the same MF. And then, somehow fighting the final boss at full health right after leaving the plateau is easier than the other 4 you fight. If you say tools, bosses and dungeons aren't the reason you play Zelda, then you're an idiot and should play different games that are made for running around with no goal. They threw out everything that made me love zelda. I will check as much gameplay as possible before buying another zelda game (the reviews are clearly not reliable) because if the new zelda games are going to be more like this than previous titles, then I will have to say goodbye to playing zelda.… Expand

In my opinion the game lacks a bit of graphical detail, the world feels vast but very empty. The beasts and temples are cleverly designed but repetitive nontheless which didnt carry my motivation towards the whole main story line. And although I understand that durability on items can help to uncover new weapons you would usually never use I feel this is not the best way to do it. Having unique weapons destroyed in a few hits feels unbalanced and I like having bonds to my equipment.

    The boss monsters feel very ambivalent too. Although they are wholeheartedly designed the attack patterns are weak and very unspectacular. The radar is a nice addition but sometimes confused me more than it helped. I agree with opinions that you always uncover something new when you let your eyes strive through the world. This is something they designed very well and I appreciated that. It felt a little bit awkward that the game got so much praise when some of its basics use the very same game loop then your very hated Ubisoft open world game loop, best example are the towers to reveal the local area. They put some mechanical candy onto each tower but still that felt like a huge wtf-moment for me.

    The weather and day/night-system was impressive to me. I hated that I had to cope with it but it felt like a cool addition and brought also some mechnical detail into the game. Overall the game is nice, it felt a little bit unnecessary long at times and the basic loops have the same negative impact then any other open world game to me. Despite what many people think (or maybe just tell themselves) I personally really hope that some day we get a more realistic Zelda on a game engine like UE5. Many people will hate me for this comment but I m sure the game will be even greater with a little bit more detail because the passion of the developers is obviously great but they are hindered by what the console can provide.    … Expand

Finding all the special horses and exploring the map is also very fun even though it's probably considered an optional aspect of the game.

    This game manages to out perform the likes of Terraria, Minecraft, GTA, and other games in the fact that it is a true masterpiece, it is truly a combination of the open world and compelling fights and story that make this the best game of the century thus far.

    Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
