    O jogo está impecável artisticamente. Com boa dificuldade e inovações fantásticas ao gênero openWorld. Sem dúvida um salto para a franquia, e um marco que a industria deve seguir de hoje em diante.

    The best game I play, feeling like the first time I played Ocarina of Time, my 1 year old son is impressed by the colors and does not come close to me when we are playing. My fiancée who has never liked video games is amazed because it's like playing a cartoon in real life. Game of everything a little but this Zelda really impressed me by the greatness and the mechanics. Congratulations

    Nintendo, as always, pushes the envelope and made something truly unique, innovative, and fresh. Lots and lots of fake 0/10 user reviews, always a good sign that the game is well worth it.

    At first, I was scared of the open world. I always enjoyed the story and linear path in Zelda. However, after playing it, my fears were wrong. It is still Zelda, but at the same time, something new. Ocarina Of Time, stand aside, we have a new king on the throne.

    Este jogo é uma obra-prima no cenário de jogos atuais, revolucionando tudo que se tinha por The Legend of Zelda, uma franquia que sempre se reinventa e nunca falha; mostrando que pode se adaptar a todos os gêneros e ser grande do mesmo jeito. Como já dizem as críticas eles simplesmente entregaram o que todos os jogos de sobrevivência prometiam e nunca cumpriam.

    I've been a Zelda fan for most of my life. A Link to the Past is my all time favorite Zelda game. Breath of the Wild blows it away! It's one of the best games I've played on any platform! A must play from me!

    It's a fun game and has all the classic zelda feel. Great mechanics, story, and gameplay. However, the frame rate drops, poor resolution, and overall outdated graphics don't make this feel like a game made for current day.

    Simply an amazing game. Good art style, good music, and overall really good atmosphere. A highly expansive overworld littered with shrines and enemies and NPC's will keep you playing for hours.

    "Revolutionary" isn't enough of a word to describe how amazing this game is.

    If you're reading this, never mind the haters who gave this negative reviews on purpose to lower the overall score - most haven't even played the game at all.

    Play it. It's an absolute must have.

    Best Game ive ever played. It is without a single doubt the best game of this generation Witcher 3 ? TLOU ? Uncharted 4 ? They all got crushed from Nintendo.

    Best Zelda Ever Made.
    Nothing compare to explore Hyrule freely, with a complex history, awesome graphics, easy commands and a Nintendo Console.
    10/10.

    The game is okay, a lack of voice acting, and a weak story doesnt help it though but that typical of Zelda so no surprises yet. Not to mention the terrible frame rate and lack of any AA, this is terrible for a new console to not even be able to run a port at 900p with 0AA at a steady 30fps, only made worse by the left Joycon constantly disconnecting.

    Freedom. Fun. Exploration. Challenge.
    This game has it all.

    It is just fun to go and find what is next and go off into the wild to just see what is there, and there, and there and... what was my quest again? Who cares! I had so much fun! And now I cannot continue writing because I want to continue playing. :)

    The game is as awesome as it is described by the professional reviewers. Please don't let the 0 user reviews influence you, because they come from salty fanboys that didn't even play the game. I think Metacritic should do something about that and delete the obvious troll reviews that can be misleading.
    That being said, enjoy this masterpiece and get lost in this new,wonderful,Hyrule!

    All the waiting was worth it. Nintendo made it again and I really recommend you to play it if you have the chance to. This game has to be the best game ever made. Period.

    Amazing. Simply amazing.

    don't pay attention to the 0 score reviews, they are oblivious just trolling. I could see someone giving this an 8 or a 9 if it wasn't their cup of tea. But dang, what a game. Love the art style.

    Fantastic game. Wide open and beautiful. Everything you could hope for in the Zelda series. I haven't finished the game yet but so far I've enjoyed every minute of it.

    Simplemente una OBRA MAESTRA.
    Nintendo ha demostrado una vez más que juegos con grandes presupuesto basados solamente en la potencia gráfica hay por montones, pero sólo uno es LEYENDA.
    Gracias Nintendo

    Juego muy bueno y recomendado, se nota que se ha trabajado mucho a la hora de realizar este título, buena jugabilidad y buena historia, un título que merece la pena sin duda para hacerte pasar un buen rato, sin embargo no todo de este juego es bueno, también hay un punto malo a destacar y es la introducción de los DLCs a esta saga, por el momento nada malo más que comentar de este juego.Juego muy bueno y recomendado, se nota que se ha trabajado mucho a la hora de realizar este título, buena jugabilidad y buena historia, un título que merece la pena sin duda para hacerte pasar un buen rato, sin embargo no todo de este juego es bueno, también hay un punto malo a destacar y es la introducción de los DLCs a esta saga, por el momento nada malo más que comentar de este juego.

    So apparently (after going through a few of these reviews), people are giving this a 0 without even playing it. Here's me just trying to balance the unfairness out.

    Just pure fun. When most AAA titles have lost their foundation and gameplay, Breath of the Wild steps in to remind people what games should be about. Great narrative, even better gameplay and style. This game is a true 10/10

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an absolute masterpiece and classic for years to come. The open world provides a breakaway from the Zelda formula while maintaining that Zelda magic.

    Absolutely stunning. Breath-taking visuals, incredible soundtrack, fantastic gameplay, this game lives up to the Zelda legacy and then some. This is right up there with some of Nintendo's best work.

    If someone who did not play the game can rate it 0 I can rate it 10 because I want to.
    Call it balance of the force if you will, this is getting ridiculous.

    just to boost these idiotic "negative reviews" back up.
    what? Horizon scored lower from the media or something?
    your x doesn't have something similar this month?
    whatever the case, the negative reviews are ridiculous.

    The game is so far looking amazing and I can't wait till I have the oppurtunity to play the game as soon as the game is available to me :)

    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]
