    The best game I've ever played in my life
    I have gone back to the great plateau so many times. I'm trying to get my dad to play it, cos I think he will love it. Best game ever, but Mario Odyssey might tie with that

    Giving the Legend of Zelda a world this big, making it live and breathe then giving you absolute freedom to explore was exactly what the series needed.

The story is beautifully crafted to focus on Princess Zelda as you work to regain the memories you've lost over the last century while everyone you run into has heard tale of your exploits even you can't recall. Enemies are numerous and challenging and combat is punishing, versatile and rewarding. Dungeons and boss fights are no longer tied to a linear path of progression or ""Dungeon Specific Items," but rather wit and intuition to utilize the tools at your disposal as you analyze the latest block to your progression. Each character has a great backstory and each town carries its fair share of tasks to complete as the player pleases. The game never peaked and always impressed, ending at the Castle and leaving an impression as one of the greatest games ever created.… Expand

    This game lets us realize how simple we live.
    The wild asks questions about how to survive.
    Not only is it fun, but it brings tears to this little machine for over 120 hours.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has great graphics, good environment of the outside world. Great detail. Lots to discover...

    But falls short in boring boss design, being kinda short in comparison to others, where the only thing making this game long is only running to get to somewhere. Suffers from framerate issues that might be fixed in coming patches, the reward from temples is impactful... perhaps a bit too much. I feel like this game needs some level of mana instead of the long cooldown of the spirit powers that you can gain to balance the power you gain, because frankly the bosses become a bit too easy to defeat once you got the cooldowns up.

    Other than that it's a fun game but really wish bosses had more variety, which sinks the score.

    And the ending was big disappointment, this coming from someone who's expecting epic long boss fights and great ending credits. Maybe partly because I didn't unlock all memories but still kinda felt disappointing.    … Expand

    Genial juego de aveturas con un nivel de libertad increible que te permite resolver cualquier situacion de manera creativa en un vasto mundo abierto convirtiendose en un referenta para el genero, el guion es lo esperable para un juego de la saga y cumple sin tampoco destacar. La unica pega es que el sistema de combate puede resultar algo caotico

    Boring open world, bad controls, bad combat, hardly any story telling, hardly any voice acting and awful mini dungeons. The game doesnt care about your time. You run around in a boring and to find mini dungeons, which arent rewarding at all. Do not buy a switch for this.

    Breath of the Wild is the most important game Nintendo has made in a long time. It's the Switch's big launch title, and the Wii U's swan song, so they knew this game had to be good. I had some major concerns going into it, but I was still hoping to get a great game. Luckily, I got an amazing game.

Luckily, I got an amazing game.

    This game rule is a work of art. A beautiful art style, a vast, expansive open world with so many things to see and do, almost all of which is available to you right at the start of the game, a new combat system that's confident in it's own simplicity, and new mechanics like the paraglider, the ability to climb anything, and cooking. However, there are problems. The bosses aren't that good, and the temples they're in weren't very fun to go through. Also, the weapon degradation system, while is a nice idea that forces variety and creativity, isn't executed well, especially with the Master Sword breaking and having to wait to be able to use it again (seriously, who thought of that?). Lastly, the story is passable, at best. It's way too simple and relies too heavily on lore, something only Dark Souls can pull off.

    Overall, Breath of the Wild isn't the 10 everyone says it is. Does this make it overrated? Hell no. This game is incredible, and is probably still my new favourite in the series. I'd describe it as a flawed masterpiece. 9/10.    … Expand

    I am going to start by saying I love Zelda games! LTTP is my fav. I completed LBW as well and loved that game. I enjoyed Wind Waker as well. This game was a huge let down though. I was so looking forward to it that we even drove around the city trying to find a copy of it.

    This game does not deserve any praise, it is below average and unmemorable. It is a mash up of other games and does not do anything amazing that we have not seen before.

    Graphics:
    As this is a port from a next gen console the graphics look terrible. The frame rate sucks. Often freezing during the combat and in towns . The animation style is down to opinion but i didn't like it. A Black horse for example is just one shade of Black so makes it look extremely 2D.

    Sound:
    There is barely any music. The music they did use is okay but just makes the empty world feel truly empty.
    The voice acting just seems added in as a last thought as it is only used sparingly. It is terrible so maybe that was a good thing. Every time i heard Zelda speak (or should I say whine) i cringed.

    Story:
    What story? There are just a ton of cringe worthy flashbacks. A good game has a strong story that dictates the game. The game developers tried to pass this game off as "hey do what you want" as if that was a good thing but I think that was just them running out of time and hence the reason there is a new story coming in DLC. It is really another money grab. The game should have come with a story.

    Game play:
    Key word here is repetitive. If you love repetitive open world games with easy combat like Minecreaft you will love this.
    The over world is empty unless you like repeating the same things over and over for no reward.
    The side quests are total crap. Just run and fetch quests again for rewards that are just generic rubbish you can normally find anywhere.
    We completed all 120 shrines in this game, never got stuck and there is nothing memorable about any of them. They are all largely the same thing with the same skills you earn straight away in the game. It is extremely boring and repetitive to find and complete them all although some of them are hidden quite well. By the end I realized the chests weren't worth getting in the shrines (oh look a piece of topaz you can get by just hitting a rock on the mountain) and that we were just wasting our time.
    I played with my daughter who is 14 and by her own admission she sucks at videos games. She completed all the bosses by herself, no issues. The bosses are cookie cutter, nothing memorable about any of them. I wonder if they purposely dumbed these down for the minecraft generation it looks like they were looking to attract? There are no dungeons. The beasts are just bigger versions of the shrines.
    Ganon barely features. You can go fight him whenever you want but apart from that he is not seen anywhere else. He was incredibly easy for my daughter to beat. She didn't die once.
    The supposed strongest monsters, Lynels and Guardians, are easy to defeat. There is a hard mode you can purchase but who wants to waste more money?
    There are barely any monsters in this huge open world, just palette swaps of the same creatures. The chests aren't worth bothering with as there is nothing interesting to find that you can't find elsewhere. The koroks seeds again just the same repetitive puzzles. The towns are small and sell exactly the same items. You really do not care about any of the characters either as they have no depth.
    The climbing is cool apart from when it is raining. There just is no point to the rain apart to frustrate you. The glider can be fun at first as well but soon becomes tiresome.
    The need to survive the elements is also quite annoying as you have to keep switching out your armour. Just seems pointless as you break game play each time to switch out your armour.
    Same goes for weapons breaking. We ended up just using the Master Sword the majority of the time and even that has a cool down period. Part of the excitement about an RPG type game where you find loot is collecting the games best weapons. This makes them into consumables and in the end you stop bothering to even open chests as its usually only rubbish anyway. As mentioned earlier the same goes for the chests in the Shrines. The Shines are just to get an extra heart piece that you do not really even need.

    Verdict:
    This game is like Minecraft with Zelda branding. I believe it was rushed out as well to make the release date for the Switch. The over world is empty unless you want to mine rocks and find food ala Minecraft. The base camps are exactly the same thing. Slash at the same creatures, get a crummy chest, rinse and repeat.
    This game is not fit to lace Link to the Past or Ocarina of times boots. This is just a crummy kids open world game that has had a Zelda face over to help it sell. This game isn't even close to being a classic and should not be mentioned in the same breath as those games.    … Expand

    It's just as boring as you think it is. When people say that there is 'so much to do' they mean that you can do the same things, over and over again, a lot.

    * The puzzles are boring and/or annoying.
    * The exploration is fun for about 10 hours (meaning that it IS genuinely fun, but it gets old if you're looking for any kind of depth).
    * The story is cringe-inducing.
    * There is no depth beyond the exploration, combat, and the crappy puzzles (shrines). Those three things are what you cycle through endlessly until you get tired or you decide to beat the game.
    * This isn't really Zelda, not at all in it's ideal form.

    If you consider Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask works of art, or 'experiences', then you will see right through this game. I'm not saying you won't like it, I'm just saying that you'll know exactly what's what after about 30 minutes.

    Now, gripes out of the way: This game is RELAXING. Play it if you want to just do random stuff all day in Zelda-land and sometimes impress yourself with your ingenuity, find cute things to giggle about, and just kind of mindlessly 'do something'. The game, however, is not worth investing your imagination into, there's nothing here. It's a theme park.

    You are basically travelling, visiting, cooking and helping people for hours and hours because fighting break your beloved weapons, story is not that immersive, shrine and korok seeds grinding is repetitive and main quests too less to make it a great game.

The exploration in this game is unrivaled, you can spend hours upon hours just walking around in the world and your always rewarded by your time. Combat is surprisingly deep and fun only beaten by the dark souls combat but nothing even comes close to dark souls so that's no criticism. I've heard that some people have called this game empty and I don't know which game they've been playing but this game is far from it, rather I feel like this game nearly has too much too do, if that's even possible, because it's hard to get to the main quest when your constantly occupied by some side activity. With only 4, this game has the least amount of dungeons in the series and you would think that that would be a disadvantage but first and for most the 4 you get are all amazing and will take some time to figure out and secondly with 120 shrines that work kind of like mini dungeons the void that could have been made by the small amount of dungeons is filled. The last thing I want to talk about in this review is the story. This is another section of the game that has received a lot of criticism, and yes the story loses some of the focus since your allowed to go everywhere you want so it's hard to feed you a constant stream of story, but the story that is here is all amazing and probably better than any other Zelda game before. The most impressive thing to me is how the character of Zelda is built. She is given an actual personality I'm not going to spoil anything here but I promise you, you will get the feels for this character. To conclude, this is an amazing game with an unrivaled sense of wonder and adventure. The game isn't without its flaws but it never hinders the experience, everyone is in-titled to their own opinion and it's OK if you didn't enjoy the game like I did but in my book this is a 10/10.… Expand

The entire story line is open as soon as you jump off the Great Plateau. You don't get very good weapons at first so its hard to do much significant stuff. You find better weapons by exploring farther areas of the map or beating more powerful enemies. The music is very subtle and slow and only changes when you enter new areas like cold regions or villages. I thought the story was typical and over all not that interesting. The voice acting was sloppy and dialog wasn't any better than previous Zelda games but the final boss fight and ending was well done and the game play was very smooth during the whole sequence. The game play in general was very fun and interesting full of cool little physics things like fire making an up-draft that can be used to fly up, things tumbling down hills, metal and water conducting electricity. The world is HUGE its like the size of Ocarina of Time times 150! The sights you can see from on top of a mountain or tower are truly astonishing. The Gibli style animation is beautiful. All the little things and details you can see give you this overwhelming feeling that you’re never going to find everything.

    I give it a 9/10 because Zelda BotW is not a perfect game. It is an ALMOST perfect game, though.

    It does feel refreshing to walk into this adventure and make it your own. There are just a handful of tips, clues and tutorials and the rest is up to you. It completely connected me back to the very first Zelda, on the NES, when you would start the game, get a sword and, well, good luck.    I give it a 9/10 because Zelda BotW is not a perfect game.

    BotW follows the same principle. This is YOUR story. Make it your OWN. Discover it, feel it, EXPERIENCE it. You will die a lot, for sure; but you will also be amazed with your discoveries. That´s the beauty of this phenomenal experience. I am loving to play this and I think it was worth it to buy a Switch just to play it. I absolutely love this game and I really think everyone should play it to see for themselves that the hype, the praise, it is all real.

    But, like I said before, this is not a perfect game. It has its fair share of flaws. My biggest complain being the weapon durability system. It sucks. It makes me like the game less. Zelda is all about a collection of an arsenal, and to hone your skills around them. This is gone, for good. You get a fair amount of weapons and shields that break just around the corner. I understand the mindset behind this mechanic, but I really feel it hurts the game. If Zelda BotW had a fixed inventory of weapons and items, the experience (at least for me) would be much, much better.    … 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.
