    One of the best games ever released. The freedom this game offers you is breathtaking. You want to go there? Then go there! Also, the attention to detail has been really great. There is something to explore at every turn.

    Truly a masterpiece. The story was good, the combat is good (as long as your weapons don't break). And the exploration is masterful. This game feels like a playground. And you are the one kid to play in it. You can do anything, go straight to the final boss. He will kick your ass, but you can do it. Travel to the other side of the world? Sure. The freedom is truly beautiful. A true masterpiece.

    Basically everything I could want from a game, mechanically. By far the most fun I've had with a game.

    This turned into my all-time favorite game. Nintendo, you outdid yourself. I am planning on putting another couple hundred hours into this game before the sequel drops.

    There's just no way I'd believe you if you said isn't good. This is a game deserved to be called a masterpiece. The idea of open world Zelda games is great but this game takes it to a whole new level with the amount of exploration features there is. There are many control features for the game and while it could be overwhelming you can get used to it in like 5 minutes.

    A perfect game. Nintendo has created something fantastic with this game. Whenever I think I've seen it all, I am suddenly surprised by something I didn't see coming. This is definitely a masterpiece that I will continue to play for years to come.

    It's not a flawless game, but a very close contender. Beautiful game design, fun choices to make, lively populated world across the whole gameplay. Weapons' durability is a pain in the ass, it corrodes combat mechanics.

    El mejor juego de nintendo switch hasta la fecha, revoluciona la franquicia de zelda, una completa joya con todo lo necesario para sobresalir, si hay algo malo seria el diseño de los jefes que me parece algo olvidable, el resto es de lo mejor en la saga zelda y uno de los mejores juegos de la historia

    Such an amazing experience. I obviously love The Zelda franchise but I was honestly surprised again! Breath of the wild is the game for anyone to play. It’s the type of game for you to play when you wanna relax. You can play for several hours without taking a break. It’s a wonderful game full of things to do and with a cool story behind. If you haven’t play it yet, do it!

    really fun to follow with! But the thing that makes me adore! this game is how the game plays out
    it really does feels like a Zelda game, just adventuring through Hyrule. Fighting different monsters etc. I also love small details like if you steal enemies weapon they will throw rocks or    I have some stuff to say about this game. First of all the story is good, won't say its the best but

    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.
