    A true masterpiece. I still enjoy this game. It's a fun game with innovative mechanisms. Although I played it in 2018, I just had the chance to rate it here

    playing about 60 hours.
    very simple story, maybe its intresting for kids, but not for adults.
    intresting mechanics, but borring open world. Has no reason to explore this world exept shrines.
    Sometimes looks like Ubisoft games (I mean copypast objects)
    its must be good game for past gen, but today it's cant amazed if you play a lot of games
    but i think its very intresting game for kids.

    There is no denying that the gameplay is incredible and original, a trademark throughout the history of the Zelda franchise. However it is a little disappointing as Nintendo continues to insist on such shallow narratives in an RPG game with the potential to have one of its greatest strengths in this regard. Still, it is certainly among the best Nintendo Switch games.

    L'exploration est vraiment au cœur du jeu avec juste un point de quête et débrouille toi pour y aller, c'est vraiment plaisant de joué à sa manière dans un open world qui possède son background, une ambiance et une physique très réussie. La musique sait être présente au bon moment et est toujours de qualité, les mini-boss sont nombreux à travers la carte ainsi que de bon nombre d'endroit intéressant et au panorama agréable. L'histoire, bien que toujours simple est prenante et très bien écrite avec des personnes bien développé.
    Les seuls **** défauts, c'est les sanctuaires, bien qu'ils soit intéressant et apporté quelques choses, certain sont répétitifs. De même, les donjons qui sont peu nombreux, bien qu'il soit intéressant reste moins marquant que dans les opus précédents. Quelques chutes de framerate par endroit, parfois gênante ont lieux ainsi qu'une technique qui parfois montre des limites.
    Mais pour l'importance du jeu, que sa soit pour sa série, mais aussi les idées de gameplay qu'il apporte à son genre, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild mérite sa note et son succès.    … Expand

    Good open world Zelda game. Very relaxing and beautiful landscapes to explore. Not my favorite Zelda game though. Too long for my tastes but the exploration and sense of discovery was fun.

    The story telling was a bit slow but that wasnt a problem at all because the exploration was solo much fun and the game world always was able to fascinate me...

    In all likelihood, Nintendo could have made a traditional Zelda game with Breath of the Wild’s art direction and production values and received the biggest accolades the series has seen since 1998’s Ocarina of Time.... Of course, that isn’t the game Nintendo made.

Breath of the Wild iba a ser el primero al que iba a jugar. Debo decir, que a mí, la experiencia, no fue muy bien. A nivel artístico y gráfico es muy bonito y los personajes igual. La BSO también es muy buena. Mi problema es el resto. La historia no es que esté muy allá, siendo los puntos fuertes las mazmorras de las bestias y consiguiendo los poderes para avanzar en la historia. Otro punto negativo es que puedas ir a por el jefe final desde el comienzo, lo que es un suicidio, pero se puede hacer, prefiero algo más guiado y lineal que te suelten en un mundo abierto y apañate tú como puedas. Otro tema es que las armas se rompan. Lo siento, no puedo con eso. Entiendo que las armas más endebles se destruyan, pero las espadas más duras y útiles que también se rompan me parece una estupidez. En cuanto a las secundarias, son las típicas que o las haces con guía o no las encuentras al igual que con algunas soluciones de los templos donde consigues corazones y resistencia. Otro punto negativo que le veo es el combate, muy simple y aburrido que consiste en salto, esquive y golpear y encima añade que se te rompa el arma. No lo aguanto. Con eso, mi experiencia se va al carajo. ¿Le daría una segunda oportunidad? Podría. Pero de momento, no lo toco ni con un palo.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I need to be honest about the mechanics in this game. I'm not a fan of equipment that brokes, but it's just that. This game got a LOT of content for everyone, insane mechanics, "sandbox", craft and of course, it's Legend of Zelda. I can't say that was the best game I ever played, but it's on the top for sure.
    As I was used to that old games with a half-open world and linear history, so was needed to take time getting used to this new style of gameplay(I didn't play Skyward Sword btw). When in the beginning I was tired doing temples, but as the game goes I was tracking and trying to find all of them. The gameplay makes you want to constantly keep doing all "side" tasks and even more with DLCs. And that adds even more content to the main history which also makes you want to don't give up those events, a very important factor in open-world games.
    I got to be honest that the DLC schema doesn't make me comfortable, but they're ok and add some worth content in the game and gameplay.
    So, if you're a Zelda saga fan it's a must-play, and if don't know the saga or even don't like the games, you gotta give a try it's gonna be worth it.    … Expand

    Some of the puzzles, boss fights and combat are quite disappointing. But the unparalleled level of freedom and creativity the player has overrides most issues. This is one of those rare games that constantly makes you go "You can do that".

    The highest point in Nintendo releases for the entire existence of the platform. A huge open world, not as full of random events as you would like, but what is presented in the game, more than covers this disadvantage. Collecting seeds, passing sword tests, shrines, mini-bosses, cooking food, rock climbing. Charming hand-drawn graphic style. Beautiful music and sound effects.

    Breath of The Wild is the first Zelda game I have ever tried to finish. Saying that I "tried" to finish means I never did finish, and I'll outline a reason why here.

    I'll start off with graphics, that this game looks amazing for a switch game. The game proves that it doesn't need a strong graphic card to produce great visuals. Art style is very charming and the world is very lush, and    Breath of The Wild is the first Zelda game I have ever tried to finish.

    I'll start off with graphics, that this game looks amazing for a switch game. The game proves that it doesn't need a strong graphic card to produce great visuals. Art style is very charming and the world is very lush, and feels very well thought out. Probably my only gripe really is the frames dropping on occasion and the stamina meter making the world feel a little dull on some points.

    The sounds in this game is also quite good. Not much to say here and honestly no real problems with any here.

    Gameplay is my biggest concern sadly. For how long the game is, I really did not like the weapon system. I like to use the new weapons and all the different style it provides but I hate that your weapons can break. Like I absolutely hate that feature. Weapons that I love will break and I have to find a new one to replace it, quite a bit annoying honestly. I thought the stamina feature was fine, but also did not enjoy that aspect of the game. Puzzles are great honestly, and the combat was adequate. However because of the weapon degradation and the lack of cool amazing abilities to keep me invested I can't say the game play kept me engage.

    Story was about average, Ganandorf has Zelda in the castle and you as Link has to go save her. You can go to each ancient weapons from each tribe to help them out and gain more lore but you can also easily go straight to Ganondorf and attack him straight on if you feel ballsy enough. The story is straight forward enough that I enjoyed it to an extent but doesn't make me feel all that engage.

    So this is where my score seems a bit low for such a legendary game. The gameplay and the story itself really hindered it for me to actually fully complete the game. I was invested just enough to play and see the side story for each tribes but because of my weapons breaking, and the lack of meaningful upgrades with about average story really didn't push me to finish it. I ended up getting all 4 tribes done and I went to Hyrule and stopped....mostly because all the interesting story was done and saving Zelda really didn't seem all that interesting.    … Expand

    This game defines the adventure genre.
    I loved exploring, the mechanics and the art style.
    The tutorial was handled well and hands on. They respected me like I actually played a video game.
    Some shrines were too ambiguous and frustrating as I needed to look up on how to solve them.

    Nintendo tries for the first time a Zelda open world video game and they perfect it. Starting off with the best tutorial in video games by opening up an area in the middle of the map and expanding from it. No longer is a player attached to the ground but you can climb anything and glide from it. If you can see it, you can reach it, if you can think it, you can do it.

    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.
