    The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time, and that's coming from a non-zelda fan! The game is so much fun to explore, and I have so many memories with this beautiful game. 10/10, I can't wait for tears of the kingdom!

    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida.
    Único ponto a ser melhorado é a dificuldade dos Boss, por ser um mundo aberto onde pode enfrentar eles em qualquer ordem, deixa um pouco menos desafiador.

    Decent enough game but I don't get the hype.
    Everyone tells me about how ground breaking it is but there wasn't anything there I hadn't seen before. I guess a slick coat of Nintendo is all it takes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego se filtró hace casi dos semanas, le he dedicado bastantes horas como para decirl lo siguiente.

    Reciclado de animaciones, ropa, armas, misma historia de los buenos son muy buenos y los malos muy malos, historia y personajes muy planos que es obvio porque al final es para todos los públicos y solo cambian cuatro mecánicas, el resto es lo mismo que cualquier mundo abierto, atalayas, campamentos enemigos, tesoros, bosses por zona, vamos como si jugará un far cry, hace unos años sería un boom, hoy es un juego de mundo abierto más, pero como es Zelda y Nintendo pues...

    Igualmente está entretenido    … Expand

    I really wanted to love it.
    Sadly the empty world, the bad combat and the repetitive nature of it just can’t grab my attention.

    This is just a great game, there is not much more to say. Where other open worlds are linear and do not let you explore as much, BOTW says go ahead and play through the game at your pace. The first game to really say see that place, you can go there. That's what this game is about, doing what you want, how you want, and that's what makes it so unique, the whole open world is so polished,This is just a great game, there is not much more to say.

    Mais uma vez a Nintendo sendo um farol para a indústria de games. Um game que pegou um modelo saturado e reformulou.

    Este juego ha sido uno de los escasísimos juegos capaces de desbancar a OoT de mejor experiencia de la historia, de haber contado con conceptos clásicos de la saga como mazmorras o música memorable. La sensación de aventura es total, con infinidad de situaciones y retos, como ningún otro juego ha logrado.

    Absolutely unplayable on the switch. Game has tons of bugs ans crashes randomly. Also the game looks like a ps2 game. It's 2023 and we are playing 2 generations behind??? What are we doing here! This game is basically a bugged DLC. Unnacceptable.

    It's the first true open world game it brings a totally new style.
    Encouragement of exploration through the environment all being different and having many collectables within with mini puzzles.

    Un mundo abierto algo vacío, a veces no sabes muy bien dónde hay que ir, las batallas no son gran cosa y a veces provoca una sensación de aburrimiento atravesando zonas, como ocurre con el death stranding de ps4

    Fantástico!!! Jogo começa devagar, porém você tem a oportunidade de aprender tudo sem pressa, explorar o mundo vasto sem uma IA chata te obrigando a fazer algo.

    Este se trata de, posiblemente, el mejor mundo abierto de la historia.

    La exploración es lo que los jugadores QUEREMOS hacer en este juego, porque presenta un mundo interesante a la vez que lleno de lugares interesantes, personajes, mazmorras (los aquí llamados "Santuarios"), y cosas por hacer. La historia no es nada del otro mundo y en ocasiones puede confundir, a la vez que    Este se trata de, posiblemente, el mejor mundo abierto de la historia.

    Las habilidades que puede hacer Link son muy interesantes y permiten hacer cosas increíbles, pasando de derrotar enemigos a base de bombas, a recorrer el mapa entero usando un árbol, o descubrir algún cofre enterrado en la arena de alguna playa.

    A pesar de salir en WII U y Nintendo Switch, el juego se ve perfecto, y las caídas de FPS no son tan molestas como se espera.

    Sin duda, uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, y por muchos fans, el mejor.    … Expand

Puedo ser generoso y darle un 5 en Wii U, por el esfuerzo y tratar de hacer algo diferente, pero este juego destruyó la saga de Zelda, cambio la fórmula completamente, un mundo abierto repetitivo, con una historia muy aburrida, se podría decir que el único objetivo del juego es explorar, porque ninguna mecánica es divertida, realmente no entiendo la devoción por este juego.… Expand

    One of my favorite games of all-time. Weapons breaking is annoying but it forces you to try new things. The game is beautiful. so many shrines that keep you coming back. I would give it a 10 but I have to leave room for Tears of The Kingdom.

    This is the best game that i've ever played, the history is good, but it could be better, but the way the story is told it's good, and the map is very big and there are many incentives to explore it.
    But the best thing is the freedom to explore the map, do the missions, the principal story or any thing that you could think to do in this game

    I hated Zelda, since my childhood. I played at the insistence of my friends... Now I am a fan who collects absolutely any related nonsense.

    The combat is superb. While I had a little issue with the durability system, I did like how it forced you to change styles and play differently. There are so many fun ways to approach combat that other games only have a fraction of. The four dungeons are kind of boring and generic and the final boss is painfully easy. The voice actors to come across as robotic which does suck me out of the game some. Those are the only problems I have with the game, everything else is near perfect.    … 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.
