    Tot i que el joc tens un objectiu clar i pot sobrepassar l'amplitud del mapa i pot donar la sensació de soletat, realment no es així pq han sabut crear un mapa, que tot i que no te molts npc's, si que té la suficient quantiat de objectius i coses per fer, que fa que t'atrapi... pq de cop i volta et pots trobar amb un campament de goblins, com de cop et pots trobar un santuari, com un enemic formidable, com una foguera per poder cuinar , etc.

    Realment hi ha pocs jocs que aconsegueixin això, gratificar l'exploració.. per a mi es el millor joc de la generació, una mica per sobre del the witcher 3... Això si tant l'un com l'altre son els millors jocs de la generació de carrer...

    Aquest Zelda s'ha de jugar de primera mà per valorar el què del joc....

Fastidiado de tantas entregas de mundo abierto, en las que simplemente se limitan a ofrecer una experiencia generica, cómodas en su mediocridad, sin intentar ir más allás y ofrecer un experiencia que verdaderamente te ofrezca un punto y aparte en tu historial de videojuegos. Hay un gigantesco número de jugadores segados por gráficos medianos y una jugabilidad promedio con mecánicas del montón, pero en Zelda Breath Of The Wild por fin encontramos un respiro. Seguramente que será un título aborrecido por los casuals que tienen en la retina tatuados los gráficos y las historias grandilocuentes de tantos juegos genéricos, pero es motivo de alegría ver que aún hay gente que puede apreciar un título de calidad, la cual va más allá del aspecto visual e historias pretenciosas. Nunca juzgues un libro por su portada, y es el mismo caso cuando hablamos de una entrega de Nintendo que lleva su sello de calidad. Naturalmente alguien que no lee, o que tiene pañal, ni siquiera podrá vislumbrar el significado de lo que he escrito, así que no se dejen engañar por pseudo analistas y gameplays por parte de gente cuyo rango de calidad es tan amplio como el patio de su casa.

    I thought this game was gonna be something to redefine gaming after reading so many positive reviews, but boy was i wrong.

    After spending 20 hours+ playing it, i still do not understand the reviews being overwhelmingly positive. Sure it gets great many things right like the wast open world that is free to be explored but so does many other games.

    Probably the stupidest thing ever, is the weapons breaking after hitting something like 2 times. Great, you spent few hours finding insane weapon and decided to kill 2 birds with it and it's now totaled.

    Voice acting is also pretty average and don't get me even started on the fps issues. I must have had like 10 or less fps in lost woods and many other areas.

    It's pretty difficult game so that is a + and i also got somewhat addicted to it so that is why my score is relatively high, but it does not deserve 10 that is for sure.

    I only made this account to warn people to not go into the hype as i did. Maybe if you have played Zelda before you will find this game enjoyable but i haven't and so i'm rating it not due it being zelda but being just a game.    … Expand

    La historia en este videojuego es una Magnum Opus, pues si bien está basada en la misma base característica, viene a romper muchas de las convenciones y a decirnos que tal vez queramos tomárnoslo con calma y andar un rato por el bosque.

    How do you make the Legend of Zelda relevant again? By destroying the definition of what a game like the Legend of Zelda is supposed to be. Where do I start with this game? How about the fact you really go can anywhere you want- horizontally and vertically. How about the fact the physics in this game actually matter and you can truly manipulate and approach every situation differentlyHow do you make the Legend of Zelda relevant again? By destroying the definition of what a game like the Legend of Zelda is supposed to be. Where do I start with this game? How about the fact you really go can anywhere you want- horizontally and vertically. How about the fact the physics in this game actually matter and you can truly manipulate and approach every situation differently because of it. How about adding voice acting and cutscenes and some of the best writing I have ever read in a video game?

    I don't know where to begin(just like the game). I have been preparing for a hardcore open world game in Hyrule for years. I knew that eventually, Nintendo would take Zelda in this direction so I needed to prepare myself. It all started with Portal 1 and 2, then Skyrim, then the Last of Us, then the Souls series and Bloodborne. Each of the game series I listed you can see influenced the final product. From the quick, challenging and fun puzzles( just like Portal) in the shrines and dungeons. The open world discovery from Skyrim, the survival aspect and utilizing all your resources like the Last of Us, and the difficult but rewarding enemy and boss encounters like the Souls series.

    It also borrows from the Ubisoft model of climbing a tower to open up a portion of the map but unlike the Ubisoft model nothing shows up on the map. You need to find and mark the locations you need to explore. I play with HUD off which helps me really learn the environment and look at the map like a true adventure. It is so refreshing to venture off into a large land mass because you see something in the horizon. I spent 4 hours last night just exploring and find new secrets that I missed in the beginning area. I am currently in the eastern part of the map and I had a feeling in my gut I needed to go back to where it all started since I had new equipment and understood the world design better. Man, I beat two Guardians, got 15 Korok seeds, finish 8 shrines and just discovered parts of the map that are wonderous.

    If you want your hand to be held and everything to be easy, this game is not for you. It is not as hard as a Dark Souls or Bloodborne but you can make it that hard if you want by venturing into areas with underpowered equipment. This game has spoiled me. I can't look or play other games now if the gameplay isn't tight and the world isn't magical. I play games to lost myself and forget about the issues of my life and the world. I don't care about graphics. I want to have fun, I want a challenge. I want to use my brain as well as my skills to get through a tough area or boss. Every time I fail, I know it is because of me. Either I am rushing, not mentality ready for the fight, or overlooking an aspect of the game.

    This game is easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Not sure of the rankings yet but I worry for Portal 2 and FF7. That's it- go out and get it. The Wii U is the only Nintendo system I never owned. The Switch is fantastic. I do recommend a pro controller. I use the pro controller for tough fights since I need the dexterity. But I play on the handheld when I just want to explore areas with enemies I know I can beat while looking for new shrines to complete. If you don't have money for a console and one of the greatest games ever just wait till the Holidays. But if you are like me and hate cookie cutter games like Ubisoft open-world games(Rayman Legends is awesome) then please go get this game. You will not regret it.    … Expand

    Playing since day one and I have to say: Breath of the Wild is perfect for the Switch experience. When I am at home I go after the Main Quests and when I am on the go (most of the time to work) I just wander through the world searching for places where I have not been before, and none of times I was disappointed. Without doubt, the best game I have played in decades of gaming life.

    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.
