    A new Zelda with new features, but in overall an empty trial of innovation who forgets the roots of an unforgettable saga in the wake of an huge open world. Definitely a great point unless you remember its poor graphics and minimalist even silent music. In addition, its story fluctuates between the tasteless and the power of emotional remembering of Ocarina of Time's plot and world.

    Let me get this across : This game is GREAT. but it is not PERFECT.

    If you want to buy this game on the Wii U, be wary as frames drop much more than on the switch version. The graphics aren't amazing, but the way the game is shaded like Wind Waker will make this game age very well.

    I'd recommend playing it on the Switch (I have not played it on the switch yet, only on the Wii U) as I heard that frame drops happen much much less commonly on that system.

    This is a must buy, but I won't give it a 10 for the simple reason that the frame drops are pretty bad on the wii u version. Besides this, this game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't wait to see what nintendo comes up with for the next zelda game.    … Expand

    In this instance it is wise to think of what it is, not what it is not. Coming from other Zelda titles things may be missing, but there are more than enough other things making up for that. Oh man it's glorious.

    Good: This game explores open world in a brand new way that hopefully other triple A games pick up on. The way Link moves around and explores the map from climbing to custom map markers makes this world more open than any open world before it.

The map is bigger than Skyrim and smaller than the Witcher 3, but it is the only one where 100% of the maps surface is explore-able, thanks to the mechanics of exploration.

    Te combat is interesting and makes you think more than past Zelda titles. You can't just charge into a battle with even smaller enemies and expect to live. The world is full of things to do, and the biggest problem with completing objectives is how easy it is to get distracted on your way. The funny but sensible cartoon physics make the game more interesting.

    The NPCs are all super interesting, and dialogue with them is snarky and funny. They also act like a regular village or explorers and make the world feel alive.

    Bad: Despite how excellent an open world game this is, it did make mistakes.
    The destructible weapons mechanic is one you can get used to. But that is the best I can say for it. It doesn't really add much to the game. It gets you to try more types of weapons, but there are only about 5 types and worrying about breaking your good ones actually locks you into using your worst and least enjoyable weapon most of the time. They could have included the varying weapon system and allowed people to keep the best weapons they got and achieved the same effect.

    The cooking mechanic is kind of fun for the first couple meals you cook, but then it gets tedious. They should have used it exclusively for stat buffing, and left in game health recovery and buy-able health potions, so only those who wanted to cook a lot had to, and no one had to spend twenty minutes preparing their health recovery items.

    Zelda does dungeons better than any other series out there. There are plenty of great dungeon crawlers, but none of them have the unique, beautiful, puzzling, and epic dungeons the Zelda series is famous for. This game does away with that.

    There are few dungeons, and they are all short and have a bland, brown aesthetic. They combined could have made a single dungeon in another Zelda game, and not a very interesting one.

    They used shrines, mini-dungeons, to address this. The problem is the shrines also have a consistently boring aesthetic, and aren't that interesting either. I completed every single shrine in game, and maybe 10 of them had interesting puzzles. The rest of the shrine puzzles were pretty obvious, and more designed to show of the game mechanics than to puzzle you. On top of that a huge chunk of them was just a repeat of the same three kind of boring fights with the same slightly varied enemy. An enemy that could have easily just been an over world enemy.

    The side quests are almost all just fetch quests. There are a few really interesting and fun ones, but overall they are kind of boring, and most of the interesting ones are just a shrine in disguise.

    Shrines end up making up for what the game is lacking in both dungeons and side quests, and while they are cool on their own, they are not enough to make up for either of those things. They at best can replace the over world puzzles that led to getting heart pieces before, they serve the same purpose and have the same length and difficulty. So they took three of the best parts of the series and tried to bundle them into one inadequate mechanic. If the shrines were put together you would have enough content for just under two dungeons in this game, including all of the actual dungeons.

    Concerning other reviews: Yes, this is getting extra high scores because people are on a New Zelda high, and that will die down eventually. However anyone who has tried the game obviously knows it isn't a zero either. These people are just petty and for some reason offended that a game which isn't their favorite got good reviews.Ignore those morons, and don't believe people who overpraise it either. In a few months they will stop being so hyped up they can more accurately assess this game.

    Its great, but could have been much better. This game does the worst thing you could to a lifetime Zelda fan. It gives you the craving to play Zelda, but it doesn't satisfy or meet that craving. This is mostly because of the lack of interesting dungeons and in depth side quests.

    I give it a 6.5 out of 10.    … Expand

    Solid 10. Now how can I say it's deserving of a 10? I picked up a Nintendo Switch at launch, along with Breath Of The Wild, and Super Bomberman R. Zelda has been keeping my attention more so than other games to come out in recent years.

    If I had to reason why this game gets such a high score...It would have to be because it's a vast open world. It's a post apocalyptic Zelda that needs to be respected by the individual player. This does not mean you have to praise it as a solid game. This means that each user should take their own time to enjoy the game and explore the landscape as they see fit. Some might beat this game in a few hours, while players like me will take the time to savor the many different experiences this game offers from the 120 trials that are scattered throughout Hyrule, to completing the multitude of side quests that are offered by AI.

    Every weapon is crucial. You can use a variety of them and get attached to them so easily but some break faster, while others will last you a few more bouts. but that's okay! Because it's never difficult to find a new weapon when you need them. I love the different assortment of weapons that I've found in my quest so far.

    Overall this is a game that demands respect. Not absolute love because I say so, but because it's something the developers breathed life into. It took them a few years to get it to us but that's OK. Because what we were left with, is something that is a memorable experience that challenges what we understood about Zelda, and turns it into so much more, and the game sets Nintendo up with a large gap in the time line where they can make future Zelda titles without worrying about the timeline issue.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not by any means a perfect game, nor the best game ever, not even the best in the franchise (which is in fact my favourite). After spending somewhere between 100 and 200 hours I can't help but feel that Nintendo tried their best to change what was wrong with Skyward Sword, while changing what was ultimately right as well. While the latter had a strict closed world, with no connections between areas which were no more than 3 besides the sky, Breath of the Wild offers a world like no other Zelda game before it, or any other game period. However, it faills where Skyward Sword succeded; its characterization that only gets worse through the awfull voice acting (mainly Zelda's) and poor story telling. By the end of the game I felt ultimately disappointed by how simple (even by the franchise's standards) the story was, how shallow its conclusion seemed, how I simply could feel nothing for its characters. The premise of a ruined kingdom and the quest to regain the memory is a good one but that's all there is to it - a lot of promises with no acomplishment... I kept hoping that by the end there would be some light shed into everything, something to connect to other games, or at least to the Ganon's character like we had in Wind Waker or in Twilight Princess, something to redeem the game, to make it feel more deep, but Ganon is the epytome of what the story is, completely shallow, if this was my first Legend of Zelda I wouldn't understand what this all was for, since its character lacks any reason and to be honest, Ganondorf did more in 7 years in Ocarina of Time than Calamity Ganon did in 100...
    Then there is the problem of the dungeons... The few ones (four) there are, feel really natural since there are no keys, the map makes much sense in the kind of world this is, there's some fluidity to it... However they all look the same, for all the variety the overworld has, the dungeons are always machines, and that's not the only think the seem to differ from the overworld. They are really tiny dungeons only bigger then the lackluster shrines all over the game (and I went through all of them). There are no theme dungeons like in previous games, the big challenge that we were always looking to. Majora's Mask also had 4 dungeons but at least they felt unique, and the overworld wasn't so disproportionate to them. Furthermore, the bosses all looked the same, only changing the weapon they used. And their level of difficulty was a shame when we consider how hard some battles can be in the overworld, particularly the last transformation of Calamity Ganon... neither one of them hold the candle to Lynels...
    The other thing that bugged me was that for all the diversity and area of the overworld, I felt like all I found were different varieties of bokoblins, moblins and lizalfos, not even flying lizalfos at that... And the mini bosses were even more repetitive, not to talk about how Talus were just... a big rock...
    The weapon mechanic can be a pain in the ass at the beggining of the game but we eventually overcome it and it's this game thing, you either get used to it or not. Don't think that's a bad thing like most people seem to complain about.
    It's soundtrack is there even if most of the time it is way more subtle than in previous games, there are some nice pieces throughout the game.
    Artistically is an authentic masterpiece and I don't think I will get marvelled by another game's scenarios like I was by this ones in a while.
    There are a lot of frame drops but I don't think they are that bad that you can't enjoy the game for what it is. Sometimes I felt like the controls didn't respond that well, not sure if it was the game or switch's problem...Link would keep moving even when I stopped or changed direction or not move immediately when I ordered him to, but since I saw no one complaining about it I have to assume it may have been a problem with my controller.
    In conclusion, in spite of all its problems with the story, dungeons, characterization, I think the game is truly groundbreaking when it comes to its freedom, gameplay and art style so I'm giving what I believe to be a fair score: an 8 (8,5 if I could but never a 9)    … Expand

    I found the game to be more frustrating than fun and more monotonous than interesting. It was just a generic open world game with The Legend of Zelda slapped on the cover. Not much in this felt like a LoZ game and in my opinion that was a negative not a positive. Definitely the worst Zelda game I have ever played.

    I am giving this game a 10 out of 10. maybe like a 9.7 if you wanna be super picky about it. but since there's no decimal system here im rounding up because it deserves it.

    Dispel the rumors that this game is too "hand holdy" or other such nonsense peddled by PlayStation Fanboys or people trying to "balance" the reviews. This game is a masterpiece. In the technical department i have found no glitches, game breaking or otherwise, and the frame rate problems reported by early reviewers have largely been patched by the day one update to the point of being no longer noticeable for the most part.

    As far as the game itself story, graphics, gameplay, scale, and scope: this game is a masterpiece or near masterpiece. Now, let me get this out of the way. This story is fantastic for what it needs to be. this is not Mass Effect. Like any Zelda game it's primarily self contained, not a vast story branching several games to create a cinematic masterclass for the ages. That being said, the story to this game, told in an interesting non linear fashion, is still great. probably one of the best stories Nintendo has ever put out and certainly one that actually gives characters CHARACTER. The non linear mode of storytelling is actually one that fits this game rather well, as many plot points are connected to others, but not chronologically. and what points are in a specific chronological order are fun do discover and will be enough to keep achievement hunters happy, despite the fact that Nintendo has no achievement system. The voice acting is something that, for the most part, is well done. there are one or two characters who's voice acting is a bit flat and a lot of that has to do with the fact that this is a dubbed game made in Japan. the Japanese voice acting probably fits the character's speech pattern better but I dont know, I don't speak Japanese. But the few faults in the voice acting are rendered pretty inconsequential as for the most part the voice acting that is there is good and voice acting is not the only/main form of dialogue (Nintendo does love their text box dialogue, and some traditions don't need to be broken).

    Gameplay and Graphics: The art style is amazing. A lot of people are complaining about this and that its not as realistic as many new gen games are (such as the new PS game Horizon). But i learned that this particular issue is null. Stylized graphics will help this game in the long run and it will age beautifully. This artstyle makes the game feel like playing through a brilliantly made painting in the best way. Wind Waker came out almost 15 years ago and it still looks gorgeous, thanks to its highly stylized graphics, meanwhile games like Resident Evil 4 don't look so good by comparison. Breath of the Wild has found a near perfect balance between beautiful stylized graphics and HD oriented detail. Gameplay is fluid, fun, crisp, and intuitive. At first the motion control feels a little invasive, until you've played it for more than 2 hours and then try it without the motion controls, you will find the lack of fine tuning using a simple tilt of the wrist is sorely missed. This is probably one of Zelda's best combat systems. Perfect dodges and parries reward those of us with innate timing abilities, but you don't need to be a master of timing to survive or even thrive in this game. Climbing ( a main mechanic, believe me) is well done. the only awkward controls i've found were the horse riding, which ceased to be awkward withing 10 minutes of using it.

    The scale and scope of this game is simply massive. There is no better way to put it. Massive in the best way. Not only do you feel like this game is bigger than the likes of Skyrim (you can really feel the fact that the overworld is 3x the size) but it looks amazing. the scale of the world is balanced in such a way that everything looks accessible but once you start your journey you realize just how far away it is. I thought the beginning area of the game was pretty big at first, now after discovering the entire map it looks tiny by comparison. Not only is the world massive, but its teaming with life and things to do. entire sections of the map are set up for new challenges. 900 Korok puzzles and 120 shrines more than make up for the lower amount of dungeons, and while some of the main dungeons are easier than others, they all pose a unique challenge and bring something new to the Zelda table, which is an intimidating task considering the fame of Ocarina of Time's Water Temple is among them.

    This game is a masterpiece, a watershed moment for a series that has been putting out hit after hit for over 30 years. i give it a 10/10    … Expand

The number of bosses is half of the amount in previous Zelda games-- 4 beast bosses in the current game compared to 7-8 bosses of older Zelda games. The frame rate drops to staggering levels very often. The overall color of the game and environment is pale and there is lots of glare.

    The final boss and ending were disappointing. There was no dialogue-- both Link and Gannon were mute. The final form of Gannon, when defeated, did not explode after an animation build up . Symbolic to an anticlimactic ending, the defeated Gannon merely vanished and faded. This felt conflicting and inadequate.    … Expand

    Having played almost every Zelda and NOT liking them "that" much, I can finally say that this one deserves a perfect score. The whole series has some ups and downs, although usually being consistently good, but no other Zelda truly deserves a 10/10 like this one does. Breath of the Wild has been a necessary step for the franchise. It breaks rules that were starting to get repetitive inHaving played almost every Zelda and NOT liking them "that" much, I can finally say that this one deserves a perfect score. The whole series has some ups and downs, although usually being consistently good, but no other Zelda truly deserves a 10/10 like this one does. Breath of the Wild has been a necessary step for the franchise. It breaks rules that were starting to get repetitive in Zelda games, but most importantly, it expands the genre of Open World to new heights, with a superb use of physics, constant reward for exploration and a fantastically balanced mix of survival and fun gameplay. It is the Super Mario 64 of Zelda, as it makes you feel you can go anywhere and do anything... and you can.… Expand

    Amazing game, some flaws but they are small. Can't believe all the false zeros and ones, Shame on you. Don't drown in the sea of salty haters, get it!

    Amazing game. Massive world, things to do and discover everywhere. The story is absolutely asome. The graphics are probably the best I ever seen in any game.

    This game is simply amazing. Try it out, and you'll understand what I mean.
    The world is HUGE. There is so much to discover. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll stop here.
    For those people complaining about graphics: I compared it to "Horizon: Zero Dawn" and I admit: Yes, BotW hasn't 4k or 451219 Fps, but because you see how much love Nintendo put into graphics you'll still love    This game is simply amazing. Try it out, and you'll understand what I mean.

    For those people complaining about graphics: I compared it to "Horizon: Zero Dawn" and I admit: Yes, BotW hasn't 4k or 451219 Fps, but because you see how much love Nintendo put into graphics you'll still love the look of Breath of the Wild.

    The world is beautiful. The sounds and the calm music fit so very well...

    Breaking weapons lead you to think carefully when to use your weapons. So I like the system. What I also like is that you can play the game without hurting any animal. (I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm not a 100% sure) I just ate plants and mushrooms so far. No problem.

    Please give this game a chance. Because The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is...

    Absolutely a masterpiece.    … 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.

    Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
