    I've been a Zelda fan for most of my life. A Link to the Past is my all time favorite Zelda game. Breath of the Wild blows it away! It's one of the best games I've played on any platform! A must play from me!

    Jogo fantástico em todos os aspectos: gráficos, som, mecânica, física, sistema de batalha, complexidade do jogo, mundo aberto de fato (!!) e história. Quem deu nota zero é hater mesmo. Quem deu nota mediana é porque não gosta do estilo de jogo, então nem sei o que vem fazer aqui. :D

    I'm no Nintendo fan boy at all - I think the company itself are quite horrible with their YouTube policies, attempt to strangle video game rentals decades ago (along with Action Replay cheat carts) - but despite all of that, they put out astonishing games, and honestly this one might just be their crowning achievement ever.

    Yes, I'm talking about one-upping classics like Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Super Metroid... the lot. Breath of the Wild is the culmination of decades of experience from a company who may have just perfected single player gaming with one single masterpiece.

    I won't write much more, as I want to avoid spoilers completely - this game should be played blind and you should indulge yourself in it. Honestly, do what I'm going to do - put every other game on the backburner and enjoy this for the next month or so. It deserves your time and attention.

    Well done Nintendo - I still loathe what you are, but well done indeed. With one launch title, they've already gave Switch owners value for money.    … Expand

It is filled with puzzled enemy encounters. Just an example - there is a tough enemy surrounded by easier mobs in the skeleton-head like cave in the very beginning. If you try to kill them all you'll probably end up ripped apart. You can sneak and kill 1 or 2 enemies but not all of them. You can see explosives inside the cave also but how to detonate them if you don't have any fire arrows? There are couple ways: there is a bonfire nearby and you can fire your arrows and shot the explosives or you can see a fire lamp right inside the cave and you can shot it down with regular arrows. There are so many different ways to accomplish the things and you feel extrimely satisfied when you find out the right way!

    Not as great as everyone is claiming.
    Yeah, the game is pretty, but honestly it doesn't hold up for the entire game, the game gets very boring when you are 5h in.
    The story is very predictble and the gameplay is patheticaly boring.
    I won't recommend it.

    This game really changes up the Zelda franchise and opens up many new gameplay opportunities, however at the same time it makes me miss aspects of previous Zelda games, like how spoils from side quests used to actually be meaningful (heart pieces, upgrades etc) whereas they're mostly temporary disposable items in this game.

    Ironically, previous Zelda titles actually feel like a bigger experience compared to Breath of the Wild due to the greater focus on story and scripted events.

    Pros:
    - The interactiveness of the environment makes the world feel more real that most rpgs: cutting down a tree to cross a gap in a cliff; shooting an arrow through fire to make it a flaming arrow and set a grassy field ablaze; animals act natural; etc.
    - The enemy AI is smart (in most cases) which makes battles fun.
    - Most of the puzzles are entertaining.

    Cons:
    - Lack of direction in some of the shrine puzzles which gives you those "wtf am I supposed to do moments".
    - While the difficult battles are fun, some situations and enemy placements are really cheap and make for a frustrating experience.
    - Most of the story is told through flashbacks rather than playing through the story as in previous games. This cheapens the overall story experience.
    - The voice acting sucks.    … Expand

    With 120 shrines, 900 Koroks and I have no idea how many side quests, this game will keep you busy for ages!

    A few negatives include a frame rate chug when in docked 1080p mode. This can be solved by either forcing the TV Mode to 720p, but if you don't want to sacrifice crisp HD visuals then you'll have to make do with the chugging. It doesn't negatively impact the gameplay, but it can be bothersome to some.
    The graphics leave a lot to be desired, but they'll age well like Wind Waker did.

    Music - 7/10
    Ambient is the word best used to describe the music. Don't expect epic themes as you ride through Hyrule. Light ambient tunes based on previous Zelda melodies grace recurring areas, such as Zora's Domain and Goron City.

    Graphics - 6/10
    Don't get me wrong, the character models look amazing and the landscape is breathtaking. But at a distance, you'll see where corners were cut, as distant objects become super low poly to make it easier for the console to render. And don't think things get better up close, as many mountain textures are pretty low pixel too. But the lightning is rich, the dynamic grass is some of the best seen on a console and the art style is sure to age well.

    Gameplay - 10/10
    This is where Breath of the Wild shines. The world is truly open, and once you're off of the Great Plateau the options are endless!
    If you see it, you can go there! You're not playing a Paint By Numbers Zelda game like Ocarina of Time, the game doesn't hold your hand as it guides you through various mechanics. You're just thrust into the game and left to your own discoveries. It feels like a true survival game, no two players will have the same experience.
    Will you experiment with the controls and world around you, or will you uncover secrets and mechanics by pure chance? The kind of person you are will dictate the kind of experience you have playing Breath of the Wild.
    Patient players will find themselves sneaking around enemy camps and picking foes off one by one as they scramble to figure out what's going on.
    Reckless players will charge in, woefully unequipped and somehow come out alive, reaping the rewards of battle a little quicker than the patient players, but worse for ware.
    The game is truly open.
    While there's no confirmation on this, it seems the monster AI actually learns too. You may find yourself trying the "Bomb and Run" tactic only to find a monster kick your bomb back at you once it's been hit by this tactic a few times.

    This GAME is a straight 10/10.
    Sure, the graphics leave a bit to be desired, but do you pick up a board game for its pretty pictures or do you pick up a board game to play a fun game?    … Expand

    PROS
    -Excellent, expansive world begging to explore and you'll probably spend much more time doing that then the main quest.
    -Dungeons and mechanics are great
    -Good art style
    -Oozes effort, care, and craft.

    Cons:
    -Believe the frame rate drop comments on other reviews, they are real, distracting, and at times - severe (disclosure: I only have the Wii U version).
    -Music is a disappointment which Zelda admittedly has set a very high bar (loss of the in-house melody is quite missed).

    In truth I think the game deserves an "8" but the technical issues become somewhat dulled with just how much FUN the game is and how much content you get. But don't believe all the hype - it isn't perfect, nor is it the best Zelda (for me Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are both superior).    … Expand

    Sure, that's something that every open world game is aiming for and a few of them succeeded but not a single one of them did it so well as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

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

Im sure by black friday Nintendo will get it fixed and offer the game in a bundle. Anyway Ive watched 2-3 long gameplay videos, and the game is fantastic! Its an adventure openworld sandbox explorers game, not so much of an action, it has more adventure with sandbox and some fighting, overall it has great gameplay. Its unfair to downvote it just because its not available on PC, PS4 or Xgone. While I agree the Switch is unfinished, and can get fried if you play Skyrim while docked right now, BUT the game has nothing to do with it. Its just a seperate product. I have a NES and a Gameboy, which thoughout their long lives have been kept in a basement in my hometown, which i visited recently. I found them, and the little mothef****s still work like charm! The Switch is Early Access, thats simply how the game industry IS today! ... mainly because of the zombie player masses who approve this business model. So Nintendo are simply adapting and reacting to the market like everyone else. They will fix it in a next revision, they simply know how to do it. So why hate them? Hate the zombies. The game is great because of the gameplay and its only single player, which is a huge bonus that is rarely seen today. Just compare Zelda BOTW to online games full of facebook kids, with mixed perceptions about virtual ego and real life, who rush to die, curse and report you, and ragequit. The sort of games like WoW, LoL, Dota 2, CS, TF2, Overwatch, etc. etc,, even SC2, basically most of the PC games nowdays. Thats why I stopped playing online games at all, because for the most part it just feels like babysitting and motivating the little zombies with the polished brains, instead of actually playing the game. I had no console after NES and PS2, I played multiplayer games on PC during their golden age, before pay to win, before everyone had easy access to these games, before they got filled with litlle zombies. This golden age of PC online games is well over now, since those type of games became completely indiscriminating to players IQ, in the name of profit. I have no nostalgia about anything Im totally in the now, I only care about the best available game experiences right now. Sure, I would like a Quake 2 deathmatch, or a Broodwar free for all in the LAN club, or a vanilla WoW boss raid, but hey man, they dont happen anymore. What was, was. Today we have online servers full of coplexed kids. This is why I have gone single player only, and why I will buy a Switch and enjoy the Zelda BOTW, because its a real game, a great game, no matter how the brainwashed masses rate it. And this is why games like Zelda BOTW, will always be so sought after, so special for the real gamer. Naturally the game deserves a 10/10.… Expand

    Playing since day one and I have to say: Breath of the Wild is perfect for the Switch experience. When I am at home I go after the Main Quests and when I am on the go (most of the time to work) I just wander through the world searching for places where I have not been before, and none of times I was disappointed. Without doubt, the best game I have played in decades of gaming life.

People who LITERALLY openly state "ive never played the game, but Im giving it a 0 just cuz Im l33t!"

    Of the supposed 1,600 negative reviews.. I dont even consider a single one of them legit. Giving a game 0/10 becuase of 1 single flaw is a joke.

    Every single thing about this game is damn near amazing. Everything works. The mechanics work. The world is massive.. Ive put over 150 HOURS into this game.. and I still havent found CLOSE to everything yet.

    Dont listen to the Sony and MS Fanbois who are pissy because their console hasnt had a decent **** game released for it in YEARS. (Poor Xboners.. when's the last GOOD console exclusive they've gotten? Seriously? Anyone??)

    Suck it. BOTW is the game of the year in EVERY catagory. Just deal with it.    … 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]
