    10/10, es un 10 cuando no lo juegas, el hecho de entrar y luego salir es la mejor experiencia que puedes tener en un videojuego , recomiendo no jugar nada mas que entrar y salir al instante , una experiencia sublime

    Out of this world. Amazing in every little detail. A Masterpiece, like nothing else.

    There isn't much to say about The Legend of Zelda. To me, it is the perfect open world game. It is ripe with exploration where it really feels like you can do whatever you want however you want, and it truly rewards this experience with such a variety of content that it is impossible to come across it all without sinking hundreds of hours into the game.

It is ripe with exploration where it really feels like you can do whatever you want however you want, and it truly rewards this experience with such a variety of content that it is impossible to come across it all without sinking hundreds of hours into the game. The combat and collecting is excellent and well-made and the story fits the theme and settings perfectly. Everything has so much character and charm that it really feels like everything single thing in the game was maticuously crafted. Combat rewards you by trying multiple things or just the standard slice-and-dice, meaning you never really feel like you are forced into doing one thing or going one place. The soundtrack is fantastically scored and really helps set the mood for combat while acting as a gameplay indicator for when you are spotted and by what. Playing this on the Switch even the graphics are still great, and the art style pops extremely well on the OLED Switch. In fact, I am doing a full playthrough again on it just to experience it once more.There is pretty much nothing that I can objectively that is wrong with the game... But I will admit personally my time had a few frustrating areas. I prefer linear games because I like to be guided, and prefer to have choices limited in where to go and what to do with my combat options being freeform and open. An example of a game that I felt did this well was The Last of Us 2. And for me, personally, Breath of the Wild was too open for me. I ended up abandoning a lot of important stuff and side quests because I simply didn't know what to do or how to approach it, and I wandered a lot and got lost quite often which was more frustrating for me. Even the cooking was overwhelming for me trying to figure out ingredients and I kept hoarding items the entire game I never got use out of because I didn't know what to do. Now that I've beaten the game I feel with a guide I will enjoy trying to 100% this game or at least do a lot more, but I can't say I had that fascination and wonder that everyone else had because this isn't my type of game. But that doesn't mean I can't see how good it is. Like a movie critic who hates romanctic comedies, they can still appreciate the talent, hard effort, and skill even if they don't like the genre. Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is the perfect open-world game, and even if it wasn't a game for me, I still enjoy purely for the skill that it took to make it and I look forward to beating the second one with eager delight.… Expand

    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

    The game worth buying a Switch and the best game on this platform. In my opinion, it's one of the best games of recent years and I can't wait to play a sequel. There are some flaws (like disappearing creatures and etc) but the game is so good I can forgive these small things.

    雪山，平原，高原，峡谷，沙漠等地形都有，120个神庙解谜，4个神兽大型迷宫，1个DLC终极迷宫，900个呀哈哈收集物品。你可以根据和他人的对话以及收集所有回忆了解主线剧情，也可以丢下一切，直奔城堡20分钟结束游戏。雪山山顶有沉睡的冰龙，心形湖有支线剧情彩蛋，骷髅谷夜晚还会出现神秘怪人等你追查真相。晚上有流星在地图上随机掉落碎片，白天在山崖边朝太阳射箭可以解锁隐藏神庙。你可以拜访各个种族的村子，了解当地的风土人情和英杰传说，可以狩猎野怪，捕鱼做出各种料理，也可以捕捉草原上的野马在平原上驰骋。游戏里还有山神，3巨龙，迷雾森林等多处隐藏地形无缝探索。加上上面那位所说的物理引擎细节。塞尔达基本把同类型的游戏自由度发挥到了极致。雪山，平原，高原，峡谷，沙漠等地形都有，120个神庙解谜，4个神兽大型迷宫，1个DLC终极迷宫，900个呀哈哈收集物品。你可以根据和他人的对话以及收集所有回忆了解主线剧情，也可以丢下一切，直奔城堡20分钟结束游戏。雪山山顶有沉睡的冰龙，心形湖有支线剧情彩蛋，骷髅谷夜晚还会出现神秘怪人等你追查真相。晚上有流星在地图上随机掉落碎片，白天在山崖边朝太阳射箭可以解锁隐藏神庙。你可以拜访各个种族的村子，了解当地的风土人情和英杰传说，可以狩猎野怪，捕鱼做出各种料理，也可以捕捉草原上的野马在平原上驰骋。游戏里还有山神，3巨龙，迷雾森林等多处隐藏地形无缝探索。加上上面那位所说的物理引擎细节。塞尔达基本把同类型的游戏自由度发挥到了极致。

    I finished this game twice, one on PC before buying the Switch and one right after buying it. One of the best Zelda games ever made, I love it everything and for me the only cons are the durability of the weapons which can be a little frustrating but other than that is a beautiful well made game.

    Todo un juego. Tal vez los calabozos y acertijos son súper simples pero espero la secuela acomode ese detalle. Larga vida a la princesa Zelda

    Zelda Breath of the wild es un experimento. Si catalogáramos la saga de TLOZ seria que sus historias, aunque excelentes, no dejan de ser simples y lineales. El héroe salva a la princesa y al reino. Esta premisa no es original ni menos novedosa. Lo que hace a BOTW tan distinto, y a la vez, tan fresco de sus hermanos, no es solo que intenta contar una historia con otros recursos, sino queZelda Breath of the wild es un experimento.

    A veces y solo a veces, un solo juego justifica la compra de una consola y este es el claro ejemplo. No hay palabras para describir lo que se siente al explorar el inmenso mapa de Hyrule por primera vez, es algo que tendrás que descubrir por ti mismo. Imprescindible.

    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.
