    i had only played one Zelda game before BOTW and this made me come back to that it and i think it's possibly the best Nintendo switch title to this day

    Secondo me è il migliore episodio di the Legend of Zelda mai uscito, ottimo in tutti gli aspetti

    FYI - No plot or story spoilers here, but I do talk a little bit about some game mechanics and game-play.

    I don't even know where to begin. To me, this game is the best, most immersive, enjoyable game ever. I love that a lot of the mechanics of the game are realistic. If an enemy shoots an arrow at you and you block it with a wooden shield, the arrows sticks into the wooden shield and you can keep the arrow. If you block an arrow with a metal shield, it bounces off or shatters. I enjoy the simple stuff like that that most games don't do.

    Also, the game is so huge and immersive, it's tough to get things done because I keep wanting to check out every cave or camp I run or ride past. Even just collecting mushrooms is something I genuinely enjoy. The world they have created in this game just feels so real, interactive, complete and magically amazing.

    the only "complaint" I really have is the story. The story is solid but I liked the story in some other Zelda games better. Regardless, this does not take away from the game, in my opinion.

    If you're a Zelda fan or even just a fan of games in general, this one is an absolute masterpiece and a can't-miss. I can't stress it enough, PLAY THIS GAME!!!    … Expand

    I love Zelda games and I thought that this could be the best, it is not even close for me, fun but I don't see what everyone sees in this game, the story is empty and badly told.

The side quests are all something like: give me 10 apples and I'll give you 50 rupees. Link seems like a lifeless being, no matter what happens he doesn't show any facial expression, something that happens in Zeldas from dozens of years ago. and among many other things (The variety of enemies is ridiculous, the "dungeons" are very bad, the menus are clunky and stop the gameplay a lot, and more), people say that the exploration is the best thing about this game, but in My opinion feels very empty, I felt a loop where I said: Look what a beautiful place, let's see what there is, and there was a chest with a weapon worse than all the ones you already have or 1 kolog with the same puzzle that you have done 40 times. Morrowind feels much more alive and came out in 2001.… Expand

    Unlike any game I've played in 35+ years of gaming. Defies description in the best kind of way: to understand it, one must experience it.

    If I could give 20 out of 10 this would be it.

    When I played the first few minutes of this game, I got bored. I was confused where to go and didn't know what to do. But once I figured it out I was hooked. The graphics are OUTSTANDING and she story sucks you in making you feel like you are really there. There are many different places to explore, weapons to get and puzzles to solve. Easy 10/10!

    The game is so vast and beautiful, that it is impossible for you not to go off on your own adventure on your first play through.

There are so many new mechanics that i have never seen in a video game, ever. The game gives you a sense of reward for exploration and completing puzzles or fights which all add up to a great gaming experience. The story is one of the greatest i have ever seen, yet barely any dialogue is spoken. It tells you everything about what happened 100 years ago with the fall of Hyrule by just walking around, all of the ruins and destroyed Guardians speak more than anyone you actually speak to. Every shrine you complete gives you a sense of accomplishment, that is so satisfying, because you feel like you have overcome a challenge. There is so much adventure to be had that no matter what direction you go, you are getting one step closer to winning. I always hated puzzle games, and i thought this would be another washed up puzzle RPG. BUT IT IS SO MUCH MORE. You ARE Link, you ARE living in Hyrule. This game is so immersive, so breath taking, that you can't help but love it. Everyone in the game has their own personality, and everyone seems like and important person to talk to.All of this adds to an experience unlike any other that is sure to make you want to play again and again, no doubt, if you have a switch and don't have this game, shame on you.… Expand

Must play, I don't care if you can't afford it GET SOME MONEY. Best investment, I've spent 100+ hours on it and I'm not even close to done

The battle system is very well made, it makes you want to find more weapons to enhance your self by exploring the open world and wining puzzle shrines which is genius. The story is very simple but it hits you with it’s simplicity, not to mention the many great moments you get to have in this game are perfect.

    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.
