    The best game in history. The story, the sound, the characters. All is perfect

Достоинства:
    1) Интересные механики;
    2) Огромный открытый мир и полная свобода действий!
    3) Прекрасная, запоминающаяся музыка;
    4) Атмосфера;
    5) Игра очень реалистичная, не в плане графики, а в плане физики: здесь вода тушит огонь, а не как в horizon), против ветра тебе тяжело лететь, а по направлению ветра наоборот, с персонажа капают капли воды, если он вылез из какого-нибудь водоёма, вы можете срубить деревья, траву или сжечь еë, в общем, всë что работает в реальной жизни, с 90% вероятностью сработает и здесь, и не зря Зельду сравнивают с рдр2 в плане деталей;
    6) Святилища сделаны достаточно интересно, большинство из них не похожи друг на друга (если отбросить испытание силы) и помогают разобраться в механиках игры;
    7) Кто-то скажет, что игра выглядит как пастген, а я скажу, что это одна из самых красивых игр - благодаря своему визуальному стилю она сохранится на долгие годы, реалистичная же графика устарела бы спустя несколько лет, да и просто смотреть на леса, горы, озёра - на природу в целом, одно удовольствие.
    Недостатки:
    1) Поначалу, когда мы покидаем начальную локацию, игра может показаться хардкорной, ведь какой-нибудь каменный глыбник может убить с одного удара, даже если ты в броне. Однако, после часов 20-30, когда ты изучил механики боя, у тебя полно еды, которая не только полностью отхилит тебя, но и даст дополнительные сердца, игра станет очень лёгкой, и боссы будут отлетать от тебя спустя минуту;
    2) Дополнительные задания в игре, в большинстве случаев никакие. Да, игра не РПГ, а адвенчура, но всё-таки.
    3) На полную озвучку то ли Nintendo поскупились, то ли посчитали это не нужным, что отчасти верно, ибо диалоги - это буквально пара строчек, но видеть полную озвучку было бы приятнее.
    Я бы хотел дать игре и 10/10, но по мне такой игры просто не существует, ибо это что-то идеальное или очень близко к идеальному, а в Зельде всё-таки есть косяки. В общем, над игрой работали очень долго, и результат того стоил! Breath of the wild стала самой продаваемой игрой в серии, получила кучу наград, в том числе и игра года, да и просто завоевала огромную любовь у игроков. Очень надеюсь, что уже сиквел не только привнесёт новые хорошие механики и идеи, но и исправит старые недочёты.    … Expand

There's plenty to do, enough to play for a hundreds hours. The story isn't the greatest but its still interesting and makes you want to know more. The Strongest point of the game is the freedom it gives you not just in exploration but in puzzle solving there are so many ways to solve each puzzle, some I never even thought about until I saw someone else doing it . The game is beautiful the creatures all react in organic ways the combat is fun the story is good all in all this is one of the greatest games ever made if you have a Nintendo switch or want to get one this is a must have easily a 10/10 anyone with an open mind will love this.… Expand

    What i love about zelda really comes from me playing botw, its a amazing game, but it does have a few flaws, korok seeds are annoying to deal with if you don't buy dlc and other stuff, its been 3 years since I've played the game so I don't remember too much but I do know the story was engaging and quite interesting for the huge open world you walk around.

    Creo que por lo que no le doy un 10 es porque aunque el combate es divertido y adictivo, no me acabo de acostumbrar al sistema de esquive:

    1.- Tienes que fijar forzosamente a un enemigo para esquivar.
    2.- El fijar a un enemigo requiere dejar presionado un botón (No me gusta para nada).
    3.- El esquive se siente muy limitado a menos que realices un esquive perfecto, cosa que es algo complicada.

    Me hubiera gustado un sistema de esquive más tradicional, es decir, que dependiera de un botón y que realmente fuera efectivo.

    Pero eso no quiere decir que el juego sea malo ni mucho menos, creo que es uno de los mejores juegos que he probado y uno de los mejores del género. 9/10    … Expand

    A fantastic game for what it is. I do wish it went more of the Zelda formula though. Regardless, a great game that works. Will keep you busy for 50 hours +. It really does remind me of the first Zelda game from 1986. Do yourself a favor and disable any way points on this game and go explore.

    Great game. Only complaint I have is the Horse/Mount system; Mounts are pretty useless for a couple of reasons:
    - You have to stay in-range of your horse or you cant call it.
    - They just don't offer the same traverseability as climbing the nearest hill and gliding straight to your destination. - There is SO MUCH content packed into this game that I get easily distracted because why call    Great game.

    This game quickly became my favorite of all time, and it's a testament to the fact that you don't need realism to create an immersive world. Perfect gameplay, perfect difficulty increase, perfect graphics, perfect music. This will be a legend in the years to come.

All four of the divine beasts are incredibly fun and creative as well, each having unique gimmicks and boss fights.

    Nintendo managed to move the Zelda series forward without sacrificing the soul of the saga, a game that can be enjoyed by hardcore fans and newcomers.

Exploration is the core of the game: the sense of adventure, the feeling of freedom and the curiosity for the unexplored drive the player wandering from start to finish. Visually stunning, breathtaking landscapes. Cons: A world without boundaries comes with a cost: every area has to be accessible to the player from the beginning, hence there is no real curve of difficulty or progression throughout the game (expect maybe for the first 5/10 hours when you are still getting familiar with the mechanics). Landscapes are beautiful and diverse but the game recycle a lot of assets and situations: you will find the same enemies throughout the world, the same architecture and aesthetic for shrines and "dungeons", same korok puzzles ecc. That being said, the game is enjoyable for dozens of hours even for people who usually dislike dispersive worlds. I prefer games with a tight focus, quality over quantity but i found myself spending over 100 hours with this game. Breath of the wild is an extraordinary game, there is a lot of space for improvement (combat system, inventory management, dungeons ecc.) and that's what keeps me excited for the sequel.… 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.
