    Ayant joué à quasiment l'ensemble des jeux The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild apport une fraîcheur nouvelle à la série qui stagne et c'est très réussi. Le système de combats, des armes cassable, ou d'environnements sont très intéressante et pousse à s'adapté constamment. La cuisine apporte un plus vraiment sympa.

    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

    If you have not yet played this game, I would highly advise you too. I absolutely love everything about this game. The huge open world has so much to do. Everything little collectible and location, has so much love put into it. The soundtrack is also very good.

    Super fun game. Tons and tons of hours of entertainment (what we want from a 60$ videogame). You'll get lost in a huge world to explore and many secrets to discover. Beautiful game all round

    Sinceramente creo que un usuario de Switch no se puede perder esta entrega, banda sonora excelente, mundo abierto con bastante libertad por no decir completa libertad, es muy divertido, la historia es interesante pero sin duda es el punto más flojo del juego espero que en la segunda entrega la historia sea tan increíble como lo es este juego, la curva de dificultad no es nada del otroSinceramente creo que un usuario de Switch no se puede perder esta entrega, banda sonora excelente, mundo abierto con bastante libertad por no decir completa libertad, es muy divertido, la historia es interesante pero sin duda es el punto más flojo del juego espero que en la segunda entrega la historia sea tan increíble como lo es este juego, la curva de dificultad no es nada del otro mundo llega un momento en el que parece más fácil aunque todo depende de las armas que tengas y de la experiencia que hayas ganado porque si aunque este juego no tenga niveles se podría decir que tu evolucionas concorde al juego, en cuanto al DLC le da más profundidad a la historia pero sigue faltando algo y sin duda el santuario de la espada es un hueso duro de roer costándome a mi unos siete intentos para pasarme el nivel final… Expand

    La libertad hecha videojuego. El gameplay, la musica y el worldbuilding es hermoso. Siempre hay algo que hacer en el juego, siempre hay una manera de explotar las físicas para sacar el mayor provecho de la situación.

    Grandioso juego de aventuras en un enorme y precioso mundo, el juego va de menos a mas, y aunque al principio resulte un poco difícil a medida que avanzas al obtener poderes, mejores armas y armaduras la dificultad sera perfecta.

    Increíble la decostrucción del concepto Zelda que se ve en este juego, sientes todo lo que te dan los anteriores Zeldas en absolutamente todo momento sin que esto afecte a su grandísima personalidad dentro de la saga

    It is just perfect. If would be a great game if it delivered expectations, but TLoZ: BoTW exceed every expectations. The freedom. The mechanics. The replayability... OMG... over 400hours and not 1 sigh

    This game, to me, is a masterpiece. In many ways it feels like the other Zelda games but there are new elements incorporated. This is one of those games that I had trouble putting down and when I beat it I wished there was more, in a good way.

This is one of those games that I had trouble putting down and when I beat it I wished there was more, in a good way.

    The main dungeons are fewer in number but very engaging and present challenge. There are a lot of mini-dungeons (called shrines) and finding them gets a little tedious after 80-ish but once inside the shrines they are not tedious at all. The shrines are surprisingly unique and engaging for how many of them there are. There is a lot of exploration in this game; it feels like elder-scrolls in this aspect, IMO.

    This game has breakable weapons and even the master sword requires recharging but I didn't find this frustrating. I always seemed to have enough weapons that did good damage as there are a lot of them to find. I don't see the point of it but I don't think it detracts from the game.
    Not as much music as I expected but it fits well with the mood of the game.

    I can't find a true con with this game. It's excellent.    … Expand

    This was the best game I've played in a long time. The sheer scope of it was overwhelming and the amount of content kept me playing for an incredibly long time. It may well be my favourite Zelda game.

    Pros:
    The freedom: this game allows you to explore an entire region.
    The design: a really beautiful looking game, the world was completely immersive.
    The puzzles: many puzzles of varying difficulty. Each one feels rewarding.
    The story: an itriguing story with (mostly) good pacing and endearing characters.
    Value: there's just so much to do, it kept me engaged for a very long time.
    A Good Impression: This was the first game I played on the switch and gave a very good impression.

    Cons:
    Endgame: You cannot keep playing after defeating the final boss. You must go back to a previous save in order to keep enjoying the world. I would have preferred some sort of postgame or the option to keep playing afterwards. (Having said that, as a sequel has now been announced, this makes more sense).

    Overall I really loved this game and it has set a very high bar for future Switch games.    … Expand

    This one is one of the best games I've ever played (and I've played plenty). The cons the game has got are double-cleared by all the great things it has.

You can search for a very long time, but there isn't anything that uses all the open world ideas from our childhood like Breath Of The Wild. Do you remember how we always wanted a whole world in a game? The one with no restrictions, with no place we cannot go because going that direction is not provided by a developer. Here you can do whatever you want. One can spend hours of gameplay inside, with no constant rush because of a story. There are games which throw a player into a dissonance: here is a world to explore, please, hurry, you've got things to do. Here, the quests game gives are so unthinkable titanic you just take you time while doing them. Of course, there is no reason to pass on the game with such possibilities.… Expand

    This is the best game that was ever created in the history of the gaming industry, it brought back the gamer spirit that was lost for me in a while. Before this game, I can't finish any game due to boredom, even a title such as "The Witcher 3" or whatever famous titles at that time.

    Usually when a game has a hype you expect too much from it and you are disappointed when you finally played it. This is NOT the case with this one. The game is a masterpiece, I wish it was out in more platforms so more gamers could enjoy such a beautiful game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? Best game i've ever played. Just everything about this game is so good. I love the open world, the fights, the tons of details, the quests, the NPCs, their places and all these hidden things, that give us information about the timeline placement or places we know from older Zelda games. The ending is the only thing i dont like that much. The Ganon fight is pretty easy and we didnt see what happend after the ending of the game. Especially that we didnt hear a single word about the Zeldas "love" for Link she showed in the newer memories.
    But hopefully we'll get some "Hyrule after..." information or a realationship between Link and Zelda in the sequel thats been announced. Even if i dont like the ending as much as the rest, its still by far the best game for me and it always will have a special place in my heart. Thank you Nintendo for creating this masterpiece.    … 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.
