    Absolutely boring open-world, bad graphics and textures frankly low resolution (I understand that this is nintendo, but now is a year 2017, not 2005), dialogs are only text, without voice acting, which completely ruins the immersion in the game. Very, very banal story. I bet zero because many people mold the game to the top ten, which it clearly does not deserve. A maximum of 6-6,5 ...

    Very overrated game. The gameplay is very basic and childish, the story is short and the game has performance issues at very low resolution and graphical quality. Very disappointed by this game, it was a waste of my money.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game has several major flaws. The final boss is too easy to defeat and can be reached without defeating the 4 main bosses. 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

    Not a fan of the weapon durability mechanic. Didn't like how the pace of the game was brought to a halt by the puzzle dungeons. I put the game in the same category as the letdowns that were Skyward Sword, the Wind Waker series games, and the DREADFUL Majora's Mask.

    After finishing the new Zelda, a game that I've been waiting for so long, my feelings about it are mixed.
    I guess one could call it: "Bittersweet symphony".
    It's undoubtedly extremely artistic and beautiful, with very nice new additions and a great looking vast world, hidden with all types of wonders. The weather effects are extremely atmospheric and voice additions are great. However,    After finishing the new Zelda, a game that I've been waiting for so long, my feelings about it are mixed.

    It's undoubtedly extremely artistic and beautiful, with very nice new additions and a great looking vast world, hidden with all types of wonders. The weather effects are extremely atmospheric and voice additions are great.
    However, I found its main scenario short and flat. Many of the old mechanics (temples, farming, mystery items and classic small details) are missing and the silence of their absence to an old school hardcore Zelda fan like me is deafening.
    I am generally very light and forgiving with technical details and graphics, but either the game or the console itself has serious technical issues at some points, which leaves me wondering: "how on earth did those 'game bricks' went through the quality assurance process?". I will not talk about areas where the framerate drops to 10-15 per sec, because I forgive it, with a light heart. Were they in such a big rush to push the game out? We waited 3 more years for it, a few more months wouldn't have made any difference.
    The music is generally not noticeable. With the exceptions of some big moments. But nothing to be carved in your memory like the old Zelda game
    I'm sorry but, if I have to compare it with its own predecessors, like the ocarina of time, wind waker, twilight princess, this new installment will not do. It has been measured... and found wanting.
    Sadly, even though insanely artistic and pretty, it's my personal belief that "Breath of the wild" is a lesser son of greater sires.    … Expand

    Poor graphics, for a modern day game. Poor soundtrack. Gameplay is decent for a couple hours. Ocarina of time is the zelda game to play. This is just Nintendo feeding into fans nostalgia

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly as a hardcore Zelda fan who waited 4 years for Breath of the WIld, I was hugely disappointed by this game. I feel the game reaches the average players and not the zelda fans. Here are some things that I didn't like:

    Characters: LINK DOESN'T HAVE A SIDEKICK! I mean Zelda speaks to him for the first few seconds but she's not that present. The champions really seem like interesting characters but we only get to see them for a short moment. No other memorable character is present. I play video games to feel less lonely but BoTW made me feel even more lonely.

    Music: not good enough I played the game on mute. It didn't give me the zelda feeling I used to get when I heard midna's lament, dragon roost island theme, etc.

    Main Story: EXTREMELY short and doesnt make me want to progress. The game is focused on painfully boring sidequests. (after completing 20 shrines, it isnt fun anymore)

    Ennemies: same ennemies over and over and over again=annoying

    The end of the story isn't fulfilling at all. I had to lay down my controller in shock when I saw the lazy ending.I couldn't believe it.

    Weapons: "Cool, another weapon that'll break in two minutes yay!"

    Puzzles and dungeons: the puzzles in the dungeons were nice and innovative but then again it takes 5 minutes to complete every dungeon. the bosses are all the same.

    Freedom: there is so many ways to do things that at the end anything works and this is quite dull.

    95% of the time spent in the game was assigned to meaningless tasks.

    NO OBJECTS!!!!!! Where is my boomerang? Where is my the special object that makes me feel cool? not here.

    There is no purpose to this game. You just run around without any goals until you can defeat Ganon (which was not fun).

    Riding a horse is aggravating so you have to take the long way(walking). The loading screen takes forever.

    Hyrule felt emptier than ever to me. They basically placed a bunch of koroks and shrines everywhere.

    I'm ashamed of this expensive game. I will now play ocarina of time until Nintendo comes with a good Zelda game (they haven't since Skyward Sword).

    P.S.: I only rated 10/10 so my comment would be on top :p    … Expand

    Game graphic was very poor and it is like a ghost world, no npc anywhere. Sometimes just 3-4 Bocos seen moved on the field... That was all. I have played for 2 hours and felt despair. The next day I have sold switch and zelda. Waste of money.

    It's alright. Very overrated, unfortunately, and that throws off the score. I've played and beaten pretty much every Zelda and BoTW, while a pretty decent game, falls behind past titles like Ocarina, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, and A Link to The Past. Most of the open world is empty, weapons break, bosses are recycled, Temples no longer stick to the original formula (no dungeonIt's alright.

    Overall, I feel like the critics could have done a better job pointing out criticism, but instead glossed over most of its obvious flaws. This could lead to some misconceptions for those wanting to play this game for the first time, but want to know a few things about it ahead of time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este jogo é um completo atentado ao estilo de mundo aberto... Primeiro jogo a ser lançado para o NX (Switch), uma consola que para mim parecia promissora, mas que com este jogo tornou-se uma desilusão. Agora sobre o jogo: Este jogo, classificado como "Mundo-Aberto" nada tem de Mundo-Aberto. Passo a explicar... Um jogo de mundo-aberto não é só exploração... Tem de ter missões alternativas, o que não existe neste "jogo de Mundo Aberto".... Segundo, isto foi uma tentativa falhada da companhia nipónica Nintendo de tentar criar um "Skyrim para crianças".... Onde já se viu isto... Jogo de Mundo-Aberto normalmente é sempre classificado com 16+ ou 18+ tal como Batman Arkham City ou mesmo o famosíssimo Grand Theft Auto V. E tem uma razão óbvia, poder-se fazer tudo.... Se querem fazer um jogo para crianças não façam de mundo aberto, porque mundo aberto pressupõe poder fazer praticamente tudo, tal como matar pessoal inocente e roubar, o que não é adequado para crianças. Mais uma vez, não tentem recriar jogos para Jovens-Adultos ou Adultos para crianças. Agora o enredo..... Desilusão total, acho que ainda é pior que tentar imitar o Skyrim... No início do jogo apenas é pedido para matar um Boss, de qual já não recordo o nome, e pronto... Jogabilidade terrível, as armas partem-se logo sem razão aparente, até a "Master Blade" se parte.... Jogo não adaptado para o tipo de controladores da Switch..... Mais nada, nenhum enredo. Assim, pelo conteúdo fraco do jogo, pela jogabilidade que não referi anteriormente, mas que é horrível, e pela tentativa falha de recriar jogos Adultos para crianças dou nota 0 em 10 a este jogo. Por amor de deus Nintendo, não façam mais jogos como este, ou vai acontecer à Switch o mesmo que ocoreu com a Wii U.… Expand

This is not trying to counter balance anything. 0/10 is my honest score. I love Nintendo and Zelda. Been playing both since 1986.

If you like running around a vast empty space, very slowly, collecting items and doing some beyond basic, boring puzzles with poor graphics and worse music then this is the game for you, that is practically all you do, run around an empty space. If you want the great graphics, music, gameplay, atmosphere, emotion, puzzles, bosses and dungeons synonymous with Zelda then save your money.

    This isn't Zelda branching out and trying new ideas, it is just destroying what was an exceptional gaming franchise. The new ideas were all s**t. ALL. It literally brought nothing good and turned something incredibly engaging and fun that I would skip meals to carry on playing, to something I could have switched off at any time, never played again in my life and not be remotely bothered if I never saw anything BotW related again ever.

    Had this been a bit of a poor game I didn't get much enjoyment out of I would have given a 3/10 but this is a poor game I was annoyed at wasting 6 hours of my life on. Virtually nothing happened other than a few fetch quests and a very annoying stamina gauge. The Skyward Sword stamina got on my nerves sometimes but this was a whole other level of unneccessary annoyance.

    The whole 6 hours I persevered with it was a frustration, the climbing, the empty world that everyone raves on about being so great to explore, the temporary weapons, the lack of music, the fetch quests, the worst voice acting imaginable, the terrible dungeons (if you can call them that). Just utter rubbish. If it wasn't Zelda no-one would have given it a 10, no one would have bought it and certainly not for £50. It is simply no fun to play. Worst Zelda I've played. Do yourself a favour and get a WiiU that you can play about 14 Zelda games on, including all of the best ones made and you can even play this junk on it too should you choose. Yes the loading times and animations on the WiiU will be just as bad as the Switch, so don't worry you'll still get time to make a brew between scenes. If you want to get a Switch for Zelda BotW don't bother. Get the WiiU and proper Zelda's. Switch is great but don't buy it if just for BotW.

    Whilst on the topic of WiiU, Xenoblade Chronicles X on WiiU destroys BotW on anything. The world is so much better designed. If you are going to enjoy running round an open world doing quests then the Xenoblade X world is leagues ahead of this. It is huge and beautiful and alive and has good music too.    … Expand

    - The tutorial takes HOURS.
    - Cooking is terrible. It takes 10 times longer than it should because the menus are bad. It also makes combat meaningless, since you can negate every damage you take. They then "balanced" that by making enemies almost one-hit you, but you can still eat again. Combat just takes longer and takes many, many pauses and is honestly broken.
    - Weapons seem to be made of glass and break in 5 hits. Throwing them break them instantly. More inventory pauses everytime!
    - The same 5 enemies are repeated over and over again.
    - Only one attack button.
    - Backstabs sometimes just don't work.
    - Exploration is severely hindered by Link's ridiculously low stamina. Climbing is SLOW.
    - Rain. Nintendo decided it would be a good idea to make climbing impossible for 2 minutes with no way to speed up time during this. Thunderstorms can one-shot you if you don't take out metal equipment. Fun!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ... I wanted to play this game so much when it first came out . Got my hands on Switch and the first game I bought was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild . . . and I am disappointed . . . In so many aspects .

    The game tells you from the very start that you are a special warrior of legends and then immediately treats you like a courier boy with endless fetch quests and go here deal with this small pack of goblins ... The NPCs CONSTANTLY reminding you that you were asleep for 100 years and that they have been waiting for you this whole time , doing what exactly ???!!! just sitting waiting ... I started to become really frustrated with the story in the third zone already .
    They tell you that there are four great heroes who pilot the great beasts to defeat the great evil etc etc . So what were those people doing FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS ! just waiting for some small skinny boy , because he was just a bit better than you average soldier . . . seriously . . .
    Then the game tells you a story that the hero (Link) and the aspect of a goddess (Zelda) are being reborn over and over for over 10,000 years now . . . which didn't make sense to me , why put Link in a resurrection chamber and wait 100 years , when you could have let him die , he would have become reborn and learn all the skills in 15-20 years tops . No Link wakes up with no memory , no skills, no weapons , totally naked and alone and the game imposes all this responsibility on you and again tells you how awesome you are , and goes ahead to send you on a crap-ton of meaningless side quests which in reality in that setting of the world most of these quests could have been done by the NPCs themselves , but I guess they are too lazy, no wonder their world is so F-ed...
    The whole thing from the very start feels like a grind for meaningless achievements.You constantly feel agitated and unfulfilled after every play session , I just hate it .

    Some effects and physics are a nice touch , but at times too forced . The game MAKES you use its physics mechanics to beat certain story missions , it creates an illusion of choice and creativity which you do not really have in the matter .

    Breakable weapons....... I mean . . . are you f***ing kidding me ?! You get some awesome sci-fi looking ancient sword , dont get attached , because it IS going to break after 2-3 enemies . . . wtf, that is a very bad game mechanic . You get one unbreakable sword , the master sword , but it is a LONG way down the line . Should have added an upgrade system to your weapons , and forge mechanic, kind of like Dark Souls has . You would find any weapon you like and stick to it and upgrade it if you like , if not just pick another , but the game FORCES you to always switch and look for weapons , any weapon in some cases even if its just crappy spear or a stick . . . just no.

    The horse mechanic - you cannot spawn the horse from anywhere like in almost every modern game. Its just stupid . It adds even more unnecessary running around to the game that is mostly barren already .
    Horse controls are horrible , one of the worst ever .

    It seems like there is a focus to the game , but when you actually play there is none, in a bad way .
    The game tells you that your character is special , but then it constantly reminds you that he is nothing more than an errand boy chasing a star which he is never going to reach...    … 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.
