    Can't add too much to the already glowing reviews. It's not a perfect game but, is there even such a thing? I give it a 10 because it met and far exceeded my expectations and the value of the game has paid for itself tenfold.

I give it a 10 because it met and far exceeded my expectations and the value of the game has paid for itself tenfold. Combat was much to my liking with it rewarding your prowess the more you practiced and studied patterns. Not only that, three years later and this game still seems to give unlimited options on how to approach things. Exploration was put on the forefront and I spent countless hours (well 415+ according to my profile) running around and just enjoying the sights and sounds. Sound design is immaculate and I found this game just as much an aural delight as it was a visual one. Replay value is amazing as you can try different tactics and challenge yourself in a variety of ways. Nintendo didn't do anything ground-breaking on its own but somehow managed to take all the good things from other open world games and improve upon them immeasurably all in this one gem. This is game truly sets you free and the freedom it gives has likely ruined other games for me where I want to have the same freedom but will probably now feel very caged and restricted. Also, the music in this game was perfectly arranged and fit the nature and style to a tee. This is as good as it gets.… Expand

    Для меня - это самая интересная игра, в которую я играл. Она подарила мне массу эмоций и, почти, сломанный геймпад.

    This has remained my favorite game since I first played it back when it released in 2017. The constant sense of wonder and discovery that this game instils when playing is truly unparalleled. I believe that this game alone is worth getting a Switch.

    It is the best game I have played in ten years. The last time I am so excited about a video game is at 2006 when World of Warcraft is released.

    This is quite possibly the best game of the 2010's. Not only is the gameplay incredible, the way that the game immerses you in the story and atmosphere like no other game.

    What a way to be introduced to the series.

    The good:
    - beautiful presentation
    - amazing sense of freedom
    - the physics make interacting with the world so much fun
    - the world is varied and full of secrets
    - shrines offer easy but enjoyable puzzles

    The bad:
    - despite being fun the combat is a bit rough around the edges
    - boss fights were underwhelming
    - forgettable story

    One of my favourite games ever! The gameplay, combat, cutscenes and dlc are near-perfect! And some people have a problem with the story but in my opinion, I really liked it! maybe because this is my first Legend of zelda game, also the soundtracks in this game is the best soundtracks i have ever heard! Nintendo, Good job! Continue on this path! I can't wait for the prequel and sequel!

    This game is truly a masterpiece. Everything about it from the music to the characters to the incredible world that Nintendo has created is phenomenal. If you have a switch you should have this game because it is undoubtedly the best on the system so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game experience I have ever had in my life. Breath of the Wild is something else; way different from the other series. I got this game around 10 months ago, and I have already beat the game twice. This game definitely contains things from the other Zelda games, but one thing it has in it that makes it so good is... open world.

    Now when you look at any other Zelda game, none of them are really open world and let you get to do whatever you want to. This however, is different. The open world in this game makes it SO GOOD. The map is huge; with plenty to explore and go collect all of the shrines.

    Now the story is very good. From starting out at the plateau, to beating Ganon, there is a story to lead you on your way and do whatever you want between. Heck, you can go strait to Ganon if you want. There is lots of quests and little cutscenes through the game.

    My favorite part were all of the villages. I loved at first exploring and finding the many villages and talking to the NPC's. I loved to do all of the side quests and the Divine Beasts. We also can't forget about the DLC.

    Master Mode is great. It gives a nice extra challenge that will have you a hard time. No more Red Bokoblins or anything. Monsters and bosses also regenerate health, and that makes it even more hard.

    The Champion's Ballad is also great. Finding and rebeating all of the bosses was really fun to do. You get to do mini-challenges on your way to fighting all the Blights' again. Then, you get faster regens on the powers which is nice. The One-Hit-Obliterator was also a blast. It was definitely a challenge, but it was awesome. Also the 5th Divine Beast was cool. Monk Maz Koshia was probably the hardest boss at the end. But at least you get a cool bike after you finish him.

    The Master Trials are really fun. The around 50 stages are very fun and also challenging to complete. Each stage gets harder and you have to use only the resources around you.

    There is so much more to this game than what I said in this simple review. Definitely worth the money and can't wait for the sequel.    … Expand

    买了switch之后的第一个游戏，也是第一次玩开放世界游戏，旷野之息做到了极致，把探索自由度最大程度给了玩家，没有线性的剧情和任务，游戏里几乎所有的东西都可以与之互动。
    至今还有一堆支线任务没有清，争取在旷野之息2出来之前回去打掉。
    ps. 字谜的支线任务真的没谁了。

    This game is an absolute masterpiece and is a must buy for any switch owner. The story isn’t the best, but the lore is interesting and can’t wait to see it fleshed out in the upcoming prequel and sequel. It’s just fun to mess around in and the puzzles are absolutely amazing. Definitely in my personal top 5 games of all time.

    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.
