    Overall I rated the game a 10/10 because the developers tried something new and it worked well. Most of my review is going to be critiquing the reviews of the people who gave a negative rating.

    Do not get turned off by all of the negative reviews bashing the game because it's not an Ocarina of Time remake. This game has changed a lot, and I believe it's a move for the best.

    The lack of heart containers has made, what looks to be 1,201 people mad. Well I have to say I really like the system they implemented to get hearts. You have to solve puzzles that are hidden around the world to get spirit orbs. Four spirit orbs can give you heart piece. What all the haters don't realize is a spirit orb is essentially a heart piece itself, just like in the older games you need 4 spirit orbs (heart pieces) to have 1 complete new heart. It's the exact same as the old games except that you take 1 extra step.

    The weapon structure is a lot different. Here you have weapons with durability which make the game feel more realistic. I actually think it feels more "Zelda-esq" because of the environment. The Master Sword is NOT breakable like many of the negative reviews indicate, it simply needs to recharge after a certain time and that time is very short.

    Some of the negative reviews complain about the "lack of dungeons" but many Zelda games only have a few main dungeons. A great example includes Majora's Mask. There are 120 shrines which include puzzles that without a guide can be difficult. These shrines provide all the puzzle you would need for the game while the wilderness provides all the fighting you would need.

    Enemies are not necessarily difficult to kill, however Link can die very easily. Certain monsters can nearly 1 shot kill you even at a high enough number of bars. Obviously as the game goes on you get stronger but I like the difficulty.

    Traveling in this game is extremely easy. You can tame wild horses, or travel to any one of more than 130 locations on the map instantaneously across all the zones.
    Overall this is a great game to play and a great addition to the Zelda franchise. It is a deviation from the tried and true Zelda games and I believe it is a move in the right direction. Some people may not like it but it is FAR from a waste of money. In the case that you like the direction they took the game you will be extremely happy. In the case that you do not like the direction the game is still well worth its money.

    With all that said, I also have some gripes but there is no game I feel is perfect either. Initially it took some time getting used to the freedom the game gives you, I hated this at first but really enjoyed it after several hours of play. Also the Master Sword takes a while to get to without a guide and I rather have it as quick as possible. Lastly I was frustrated with the difficulty at fighting enemies at first, but this also goes away quickly as you learn the game.

    I hope they release additional Zelda games similar to this. I would continue to buy the game immediately.    … Expand

    Nearly everything about this game is incredible. Nintendo has made exploring fun with you constantly thinking and wanting to know what's over that hill or in that forest. The best thing is that there always is something there!
    Bad points for me are the bosses, quite bland.

It's a big departure from the franchise in a lot of ways, but it does not disappoint (much). Bottom line is this game will keep you rapt for MANY hours of play time and has a TON of content to offer in the form of places to explore, enemies to fight, puzzles to solve, and side quests. I won't ramble on, but I would like to touch on the hits and misses of this game:

    Hits:
    1) Open world. Map is huge and beautiful
    2) Graphics. Beautiful, realistic yet very "cartoon". Fits perfect for the game.
    3) Game play feels very open-ended and not boxed in like most other Zelda titles, though there are definitely easier and harder dungeons. If you try to go for the Gerudo area in the beginning with 3 hearts, for example... well good luck to ya!
    4) Combat systems and controls very good. Aiming the bow and arrow by tilting the controller in 2 axis works amazingly well. Controller has 3 axis gyros which will be used in some of the puzzles.
    5) Many hours of game play in the main quest + side quests. Probably 40 hours on the short end and 80+ if you have your fun with it.
    6) Climbing ability is awesome and very freeing. No more awkwardly hopping up slopes of mountains like Skyrim (man that sucked, right?!).

    Misses (and these are big misses!):
    1) Weapon durability is LUDICROUS. Like, I don't even know how this part made it past testing. Some of the bows wear out and explode after shooting 5-6 arrows.. Seriously? The melee weapons generally last 1-2 enemies, which is just over the top. It's just plain frustrating and annoying having to constantly be throwing away weapons and finding new ones, especially when the fancy "powered up" weapons break hella quick.
    2) Lightning physics. In some areas, lightning storms happen like ALL THE FREAKING TIME and will destroy you. I went out of my way to get the "Rubber Tights" (LOL), which are supposedly electro-resistant and a lightning hit still sucks 10 hearts or more out of me and makes me drop my **** Also, if you're in the sky on your paraglider, you can get struck by lightning. Physics 101 fail. No ground, no electricution. Derp.
    3) Where the hell is the iconic Zelda music? It's so sparse. You only get music maybe 10% of the time. Feels like Nintendo rushed this title out and skimped on soundtrack.
    4) Nintendo has done away with hearts, but you cook your meals... Ths is cool, but they also allow you to shoot completely innocent animals and eat them, as it, for example, shows a little icon of a beautiful fox turning into a steak. WTF, Nintendo... This is not very Zelda IMO. It's a fantasy world. We need not bring the ugliest aspects of humanity into it.
    5) Related to point (4), docile animals like does (that's a female deer for those not in the know) will run and charge at you when startled and sometimes hurt you and knock you down. Major fail. That's not how things work. Deer are afraid of people. They will run away. It's like Nintendo is trying to make it easier for disturbed little children to go out and torture the neighbor's cat after a session of gaming.
    6) The dungeons are a bit repetitive. Find the sometimes-annoyingly hidden "terminals", activate the devine beast, fight a Ganon variation, have a snack, move on.
    7) Koroks to find everywhere, but no payoff. There's apparently literally HUNDREDS of them. I've found like..... 15..... accidently. Woot. Or not.
    8) Graphics choke up bad sometimes. Not a lot, but when they do it can be BAD, like locked up or dipping to sub 1 fps in a combat. No bueno for a new system.

    Hope that sums it up. If you have a Switch, of course buy this game. Don't even think twice about it. Play it, enjoy it, and hope Nintendo fixes some of this crap in the next round. I'm not giving this game a 10 though, as way too many have. It's not perfect. It's a damn good game though. I'm settling squarely on 8.0, though I'd say maybe more an 8.5 if I had decimal capabilities on here.    … Expand

All valid criticism of the game pales in comparison to the issue games on more powerful consoles are full of. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost “trolling” the competition with a vast map to explore, where hunting for stuff is fun and can allow for casual game play that is fun and extends the time you want to play around in the “playground” Nintendo delivers. Enemy AI and toughness scales well, with the only negative being weapons breaking easy early on, which just gets you to take a more proactive approach to using the map market features, and quick travel to shrines, after each Blood Moon to hoard up on stronger, more durable, weapons.

    I’ve put 65 hours in to the game so far and have almost 90 shrines and it is still the main game I enjoy playing to relax, over any other game released since Breath of the Wilds release.

    Other developers should take note of how Nintendo leveraged animation to overcome the lack of compute power compared to the PS4/5 and X Box One and Series X because I am in no need to rush into next gen when a game as good as this exists.    … Expand

    Best game of this hardware generation. Hands down. Redefines what open world should be. Not my greatest Zelda game due to lack of orchretral music throughout, traditional dungeons, and the story is kind of lacking. But the gameplay is so far beyond anything I've ever payed. 250 hours in and I'm still going back.

The controls and gameplay are some of the best I have ever seen. Botw was the first Zelda game I had ever played due to me not knowing much about the franchise but due to it getting such great reviews I decided to pick it up. I was not disappointed whatsoever. The gameplay is stellar, the world is full of puzzles and hidden NPC quests for you to complete and you are constantly finding new and exciting things. The story is quite shallow but however for what the game is about (exploring a destroyed kingdom and its remains.) the story fills its purpose. Botw was such an excellent game it managed to make me play skyward sword (it’s predecessor) and I am going to buy the Newly announced Links awakening remake.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Legend of Zelda breath of the Wild is an amazing single player experience that must not be skipped on. Even thought it isn't perfect in every aspect (no game will ever trully be), this game makes you engage in everything you do, from killing nasty moblins to the vast cooking options you have. The world physics are the best ever seen in any game to date. But what really makes this title stand out from all other open world competitors is the cheer amount of freedom you have. Since the first time you step out of the Shrine of Resurrection nothing tells you how you are suposed to play the game. You have to figure it out yourself, with some very cleaver and smart clues hidden across the "tutorial". After you complete this "tutorial", the game advices you to go to a certain place, but nothing holds you back to just sprint immediately to the hyrulle castle and try to save Zelda.

    The down notes I have are minor, but they add up. First up, I loves the fact that we had voice acting, but in the english version there seemed to be something off with the voices sometimes. I would also like to point out that even thought I had a lot of fun with the shrines in the game, they seem to become a bit repetitive due to the lack of different art style in them.They all feel the same. The last negative point is one that a lot of people might not agree with, but I consider the 4 main dungeons (the Beasts) quite tedious. They felt weird and, again, they all had the same art style. I would have loved the salamander to be filled with lava walls and fire stuff, maybe some new fire enemies. The fact that all the bosses were pretty much the same doesn't help. And , besides the gerudo one, they were way too easy. I would have loved, for example, if we had to have fought the dead champions to free them because gannon had gained control of their body. Or fight a real salamander in the lava one, a real camel monster in the gerudo one, something along those lines.

    Concluding, this game is an absolute masterpiece, not perfect, but not too far. I can't wait what nintendo does with this concept it shows so much potencial.    … Expand

    Breath of the wild takes everything you know about the Zelda franchise and basically throws it away, only having some parts being in there. and ill be honest here, everything can be new (like open world, etc) but don't completely change to where its unrecognizable. being a sucker for the past zelda music i was put off by how they composed this game's music, in my opinion only a few scores were good. The enemy variety is rinse and repeat and its limited on the kinds of enemys, there are no actual dungeons, there are so many missed opportunities its kinda sad they didnt think of certain things. but this game is worth your time despite its unfortunate flaws    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. first of all, lets get this out of the way, botw is not a masterpiece nor a utter terrible game, like most reviews. I have mixed feelings for the game and I wish to make the most accurate review as possible, and split up the review into sections, so this may be long. I played a lot of this game and also finished all of the shrines. But at the end i'll list ratings of each section like music or difficulty. So with that background lets start.

    - Music -
    the music in the game is very, very, very limited. There is so much music missing from the game. Most of the time its just random keystrokes or a quick jingle. Wish there was more music in the game. Although my favorite song in the game is the castle theme. The Castle theme is really good, its super epic going to hear it for the first time and listening to it over and over on YouTube.

    - Story -
    TO LITTLE STORY. Can't stress it enough, here is the basic rundown of the story. You wake up mysteriously hearing Zelda guide you though the tutorial section of the game(Great Plateau) with help with an old man(King of Hyrule). Once done you head to Impa and she tells you what happened in the past and what the objects are. Those objectives are to regain memories and defeat four divine beasts, then kill Ganon. That may seem like a lot but really isn't people, especially for a Zelda game. Take twilight princess for example, it has loads of story. Botw on the other hand, its story is just bare and boring.

    - Divine beasts/Shrines/Ganon -
    Divine beasts and shrines are WAY to easy. give us some challenge. although the first time you do a divine beast did have a bit of difficulty but then that is it, because after that you get really OP really fast. Shrines aren't even a puzzle, they are "just do this and win". Ganon was really cool, super easy fight by super cool. Ganon to me was more for coolness points than difficulty.

    - Difficulty -
    kinda hard in the beginning depending on which way you want to go, then you get super OP and is really easy. not much to say

    - Weather -
    Rain and Thunderstorms are crap and stupid, blood moons are cool though.

    - Side Quests -
    side quests are okay don't really care about and they don't serve much a purpose, they don't take anything away to the experience which is good.

    - random cons -
    MASTER SWORD IS OPTIONAL!! REALLY, that is an absurd move for Nintendo. Repeat The Master Sword is an option, you don't need to get it. Wow.

    - Overall amounts of fun -
    so much fun with the game, don't know how many hour I've played but i'll tell you this, it is a lot. super sup getting collectibles and Armor to upgrade.

    - loot and items -
    amazing job on this department, with countless amount of armor, weapons, shields, food, and more.
    although the durability of weapons is way to low. weapons break way to easily. other than that its great, durability needs fixing.

    - DLC pack 1 -
    master trials are awesome, items are cool, but are pretty useless

    -overall-

    Music= 3/10
    Story= 3/10
    Divine Beasts = 3/10
    Shrines = 4/10
    Ganon= 8/10
    Difficulty= 4.5/10
    Weather= 2/10 too much water
    side quests= 6/10

    Total 7/10

    Don't see how people give this 10/10 with all of its flaws, people who give this game 0/10 just want to cause trouble, I like to see people who rate this game with thought in mind.

    From what I have played, it decent. Is it a masterpiece? No, not even close. But it still can be a fun game to play from time to time. So why would I consider this game to be decent? Well the story isn't that interesting, the controls feel a bit too weird, and Link isn't really that of a interesting character at all.

Breath of the Wild also showcases Zelda in her strongest form, being a far more developed character than ever before in the series. I felt strongly connected to her and her struggle, which provided a more satisfying end-game. Furthermore, the world is absolutely breathtaking, and the character designs are beautiful and bold.

    One mistake I think the game makes is the implementation of breakable weapons. This added unnecessary anxiety as I began avoiding enemies to avoid wasting my best weapons. In such an exploration-driven world, it’s a shame to feel restricted only because of your equipment's mortality. The master sword eases this pain slightly, however, I still completed the game with an entire arsenal of weapons I was too afraid to waste.

So I pick one up, got Breath of the Wild, and was blown away.

    Pros:
    -Big open world that feels hand crafted and polished beyond many games coming out in 2017
    -Beautiful cel shading aesthetic that feels right at home for the Switch
    -A massive amount of things to do/content that it doesn't feel like filler
    -Combat and progression fit so perfectly together to make you feel stronger while looking stronger
    - THE PARAGLIDER!!!!! (also shieldsurfing is neat)

    Cons:
    -The bosses (non overworld) don't stand out much from the rest
    -Some places have frame drops (after updates they are less, but still prominent in one particular area)
    -I have been told that all the Zelda games have amazing story, and I feel like the main story doesn't fulfill that void. BUT I will say that the story the world itself tells from the minute to minute gameplay beyond satisfied that issue, just something to address.

    After 115 hours playing on the couch, toilet, work, driving, flying, wherever and whenever, I will always have a love for this game. I now own my own Nintendo console and I have never been happier with a game I haven't had this much fun with since Skyrim.

    - les dongeons, qui constituent la mythologie d'Hyrule !
    - les thèmes musicaux trop minimalistes (qui se souvient d'une musique de cet opus ? par contre, tout le monde se souvient de la musique de A Link To the Past sur Super NES...)    9 car ce jeu n'est pas parfait ! L'open world est tout juste magnifique mais pour moi il manque 2 points importants qui ont fait le succès de la série :
    - les dongeons, qui constituent la mythologie d'Hyrule !
    - les thèmes musicaux trop minimalistes (qui se souvient d'une musique de cet opus ? par contre, tout le monde se souvient de la musique de A Link To the Past sur Super NES...)

    Ce que j'ai aimé (+) :
    - L'Open World (immense, varié, magique)
    - Les cheveaux
    - La physique exceptionnelle qui devient une référence dans l'industrie vidéoludique
    - La variété des tenues & armes.
    - Le système de crafting

    Ce que je n'ai pas aimé (-) :
    - Où sont les donjons ? Les temples (trop nombreux à mon goût) n'apportent rien à l'aventure.
    - Les armes qui se cassent trop souvent. Du moins, je pense qu'à partir d'un certain niveau d'arme celles-ci devraient être incassables
    - Les musiques "sans saveur"... c'est plutôt fade, vous ne la chantonnerez pas !    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is overall a really great game. Most of it is awesome, if not perfect.

    The game starts you off in this dark room where a voice is guiding you. She tells you to go pick up this item, and you proceed to the next room which is similar. Then, a tunnel opens and you run outside. The cutscene that follows this is probably the most beautiful version of the game. It gives you a huge pan of the world of Hyrule.

    Now, you are free to explore. That’s one of the best parts about this game. Your just dropped into it, to do whatever you want. This is the games strongest point-it’s exploration. The world is jam packed with things like Korok seeds, and shrines which I will get to later on.

    Though you may not notice it at first, once you talk to an old man, you will realize that you are actually confined. Though, the game does this in a very good way.

    In order to learn the basics, you pretty much do a miniature version of the full game. You are in a fairly large starting area, which fits the theme of exploration. You are tasked by this old man, to go to this think called a shrine. There are many of these throughout the game. Though I do think that these could have been better, they are still good.

    You will end of doing four of these shrines, and then the old man will give you the paraglider, which you can use to jump off of the Great Plateu.

    Now, you’re free. You can do anything you want. Heck, you can even go to the final boss now. But I wouldn’t. Trust me, you’re missing out.

    The old man tells you to head to Kakariko village, to meet someone named Impa. Impa, tells you about the Divine Beasts. Four giant mechanical animals, each in different corners of the map. You are tasked to travel to each of them, Divine Beast Vah Ruta, of the Zora, Divine Beast Vah Naboris of the Gerudo, Divine Beast Vah Medoh of the Rito, and Divine Beast Vah Rudania, of the Goron. Impa tells you that you can learn more from each of the races at each Divine Beast.

    Now, the best parts of the game are definitely Vah Ruta and Vah Naboris. But the main reason that this review is a 9 is because of the Vah Medoh portion of the game.

    Even if Vah Medoh is the first Beast you take down, it is still way to easy, and I feel like this whole part of the game was rushed.

    Also, the Calamity Gabon fight could have been way better, and the Dark Beast Ganon fight was very underwhelming.    … 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]
