    One of the best games ever. Expensive for sure, but worth it. Absolute masterpiece of gaming.

    Gran juego en todos los aspectos.

    Gameplay: Evolucionó la saga en todos los aspectos. Es por excelencia uno de los juegos que da sensación completa de libertad e infinidad de opciones. Para el desarrollo de los santuarios, alcanzar objetivos o completar misiones secundarias se pueden lograr de múltiples maneras. Esto otorga gran control al jugador. Banda Sonora: sublime, espectacular    Gran juego en todos los aspectos.

    Gameplay: Evolucionó la saga en todos los aspectos. Es por excelencia uno de los juegos que da sensación completa de libertad e infinidad de opciones. Para el desarrollo de los santuarios, alcanzar objetivos o completar misiones secundarias se pueden lograr de múltiples maneras. Esto otorga gran control al jugador.

    Banda Sonora: sublime, espectacular y acorde a la historia. Se siente en todo momento el contacto con la naturaleza, con la soledad y con el inminente enemigo al asecho.

    Gráficos: el estilo gráfico me costó en un momento asimilarlo pero cada Zelda tiene un estilo gráfico, ¡Y este ha marcado tendencia! Se puede observar en cuantos otros juegos "se inspiraron" en su apartado gráfico.

    Historia: Debido al gran mapa de Hyrule se puede percibir que no hay historia, pero la historia la construimos nosotros. Están las memorias, el jefe final, las bestias divinas, misiones secundarias y aún así tu decides cómo quieres desarrollarlo y si deseas hacerlo completo.    … Expand

    Em minha opinião este game não é essa maravilha como dizem, porém ele consegue ser melhor que sua sequência... Os puzzles são melhores, gráficos são menos capados e parece rodar melhor no Nintendo Swich.

    Tons of fun, easy to get lost in the world. Still, the story is a bit lacking

    Breath of the Wild is, without any doubts, one of the best gaming expriences I have ever had. Only 4 days ago I managed to get the 100% of the game and it is amazing that even today you keep discovering new things you didn't know.

    Regarding the history and how you get it: I tend to disagree with most of the people. I find this new way challenging, interesting and innovative.

    Zelda Breath of the Wild est un jeu exceptionnel sur lequel on ne peut qu'y passer des heures tellement ce monde ouvert est addictif et rempli de secrets. Dans ce jeu, la recherche paye et chaque joueur vivra une expérience unique.

If you want an open-world game, this is it. it's an open world, you can do what you want at your pace. openly explore, whenever you unlock a part of the map, it doesn't tell where everything is, you have to look for it yourself. despite this game being out for a while there is always something to return to.

    But the climbing is **** especially when it rains.    … Expand

    You can’t say it’s a bad game. And I know some will disagree. But "fade" is what describes that game. Lacked magic. Lacked a soul. The music play a big part in this.

I understand the idea of light musical environnement to suit the concept of the "breath of the wild". But it just lacks personality. Music can make or break a game. Very few catchy themes. The only themes that gave me the original "Zelda vibe" were the Korok forest, Zoras royaume, Sidon theme. Were are all the classic Zelda themes ? I grew up with the SNES and N64. I rarely play video games anymore because I’m an adult and I don’t have so much time. But I do believe video game developers should quit trying making Hollywood soundtracks and go back to the good old melodies. It feels very bland and impersonal. There is something frustrating in this. Like "give me that vibe". But it’s not coming, except a few short instants.

    More enemy variety would have been better.
    Weapons breaking like glass, too fast.
    Climbing in the rain.
    Hyrule castle, so fade. As a conclusion, it was interesting. I respect the work. But just overall bland. Without relief and magic. Sorry.    … Expand

    i think the main reason for giving it such a high score is that you wake up with link and find the memories together. Everything feels new and realistic, so the storyline fuctions in a healthy way.

    An excellent entry to the franchise that has the best open world I've yet to play, although the story is definitely a little weaker than other entries, the excellent and enjoyable gameplay more than makes up for it.

    The multiple cheese pizza of gaming
    everytime you grab a bite you feel something new and its good
    the only downside on it is that when you try all the flavors you just get used to it

    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.
