    This game is literally perfection. The story, the controls, the difficulty (Master Mode is so challenging and fun), and the overall open world aesthetic are incredible, and I cannot wait for the sequel.

    Единственая зельда которую я прошёл до конца, не сразу к ганону, а по чудищам и доп.квестам, а также воспоминания

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best games I have ever played! Open world is amazing. Exploring the map is so fun. There is always something everywhere. Gameplay is one of the best. There are a lot of things you can do. The game always wants you to explore. You can play the game more than 200 hours and never get bored and still can learn new things! Story is great. İt doesn't have long cutscenes and just wants you to explore the map. Everything you do on this game is to make Link more powerful. You can fight the final boss whenever you want. You can beat it after starting the game 1 hours later without doing any main quests or you can fight it when you did everything in the game. This game is unique and a masterpiece! Just like every Zelda game!… Expand

Das grandiose Ocarina of Time (1998) und der Klassiker vom SNES A Link to the Past (1991). Für mich gilt also die Regel alle 10 Jahre einmal Zelda. So lange will ich aber eigentlich gar nicht warten, denn Breath of the Wild ist fantastisch und hat mich fast genau so in den Bann gezogen wie Ocarina of Time damals. Warum nicht genauso liegt meiner Meinung nach nicht einmal am Spiel sondern daran, dass ich mit fortschreitender Erfahrung und Alter einfach nicht mehr so aus dem Häuschen zu bringen bin wie ich es früher war. Dennoch BotW ist fantastisch. Die Hardware der Switch ist wirklich nicht die Stärkste und dennoch sieht das Spiel so fantastisch aus und hört sich grandios an. Alles passt! Immer wenn ich die Switch anschmiss um wirklich zu spielen fühlte ich mich wohl. Das schafft das Spiel einfach irgendwie. Es muckelt einen in eine warme Decke voll von guten Gefühlen und stellt einem noch eine Lieblingswarmgetränk hin. Zum Spiel: Ganondorf der Oberbösewicht hat Hyrule mal wieder unterjocht. Er ist aber nicht bei voller Stärke und ist kurz davor aufzuwachen. Wir hingegen (als spitzöhriger Elf Link) wachen auf und wissen nicht wer wir sind und warum...? Deswegen verlassen wir den Tempelhöhlenort in dem wir 100 Jahre gepennt haben um die Welt draußen zu erkunden. Alleine die Szene in der wir die Höhle verlassen lässt mich wohlig schaudern. Es ist einfach wunderschön in Szene gesetzt. Die zu erkundende Welt von verschiedenen Temperaturzonen ist frei erkundbar. Die Umwelteinflüsse spielen in diesem Zelda eine große Rolle. Temperatur, Gewitter und Regen sind für den Spielablauf wichtig. Irgendwann kommt man darauf, dass bestimmte Shrine gesucht werden müssen um stärker zu werden. Hier müssen kleine Rätsel gelöst werden. Die Zelda üblichen Dungeons sind in 4 große mechanische Tiere gestopft worden. Einerseits muss man in dieses große Viech hinein, dann muss man die Rätsel im Tier lösen und den Endboss besiegen. Innerhalb dieser Tiere sind Schalter um diese roboterartigen Geschöpfe so zu manipulieren, dass innerhalb wiederum Wege frei werden. Das ist wirklich fantastisch! Die Steuerung geht wie immer perfekt von der Hand. Das beste Open World Action Adventure was ich bisher gespielt habe!!!… 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.
