Jun 7, 2017This is an amazing game. Surely it isn't perfect, but you can't give it less than 9/10, especially if you tried the game; only haters do that. It isn't the best looking game ever, but it is still awesome.
-
Jun 7, 2017Never in my life have I ever written a review about anything, not even yelp. But, if I could describe this entire game in just one word.
Sensational. -

Oct 4, 2017Zelda: Breath of Wild is a fun game, even at the worst time it still had me on the edge of my seat. While the entire story is told in flashbacks, that and the side missions are boring, while not the best Zelda game, it is a great game that looks like it really did take years, Nintendo did a mediocre job at some things but they really did it this time.

Feb 2, 2018A masterpiece, open-world done right and playing it is just a fun thing to do. BoTW treats the series in a very different way, yet it has high enough quality it can be argued to be the best Zelda ever made. It sure is a true contender for it.

Jan 1, 2020Breath of the wild is a great zelda addition. The cooking mechanic of the game is good, and the enemies vary nicely in difficulty. Always room for improvement, but amazing in most ways. Where do the unlimited blue bombs come from?

May 18, 2023The most disruptive installment of the saga and the one that breaks the most conventions, that's why I don't like it at all, since it replaces a functional formula that everyone loved with an empty shell, very similar to other repetitive open worlds in the AAA industry
In this Zelda, Ganon is the most pitiful final boss that has ever been seen in a video game. -
Mar 4, 2017Jeu vraiment énorme , mais la perfection n'existe pas , dommage car ici seul le Framrate fait défaut sur certains endroit , sinon on aurait pu toucher les étoiles ! Je mais quand même 10 pour la vague de 0/10 débile ... sinon j'aurais mis un 9.5/10
-
Mar 3, 2017so many salty poor people giving a game they will never play a zero because they are jealous they already bought ps4 or xbox and are too poor to afford to play the best game of all time. buy a pc and get a switch you srubs....
-
Mar 3, 2017Worth the wait! Easily one of the best open world games, and the best Zelda game in the franchise to date! Looks beautiful and plays great on Both Wii U & Switch Systems.
-
Mar 3, 2017So I waited in line for an hour, drove all the way back to my house in the middle of nowhere, spent another hour updating with my weak internet, and all I got was a fantastic Zelda game. Better than any other 3D Zelda, but not as good as the Oracle games because those are untouchable.
-
Mar 4, 2017Absolutely, positively the greatest game ever made. In 20 years time kids will talk about this game with the same affection people in their 20s, 30s and 40s talk about Ocarina of Time. Pure gaming nirvana.
-
Mar 3, 2017LOL at troll reviews. This game is awesome. It's incredible how nintendo made the perfect open world game on their first try. Also the graphics are beautiful.
-
Mar 3, 2017Who zero votes it is only a poor man pathetic frustrated idiot. You change hobby and you grow that it is now. but are you even ashamed to be so useless not? be disgusting!
-
Mar 3, 2017Been playing this since midnight, I hate to say it but this is almost a OoT killer for best Zelda game ever. It's also drop dead gorgeous, it's like playing a painting.
-
Mar 3, 2017Tengo que darle la nota que se merece despues de leer los comentarios de haters que opinan sin siquiera mirar un video, solo para criticar por pura envidia.
El tipo de gente que hace que esta industria y cualquier otra, sea una basura. -
Mar 3, 2017perfeito em jogabilidade, trilha sonora, arte, personagens carismáticos, mundo gigante e solido sem áreas de vazio estremo como em outros jogos similares, historia imersiva
parece poesia -
Mar 3, 2017Absolute stunning game! Music, combat, and game play is enjoyable and fun. Puzzles are were Zelda always gets right, makes you think and very rewarding. Great game worthy of anyone's time.
-
Mar 3, 2017Breath of the wild is a master piece of a game. This review section really needs to be cleaned up with clear fanboys just rating the game 0. Disgusting and pathetic. Same to those doing it to horizon zero dawn.
-
Mar 3, 2017Truly incredible and awe inspiring. I am enthralled by the open world and overwhelmed, in a good way. There are so many different things to do that it will be impossible to ever get bored. I am so happy that Nintendo really hit a home run with this game.
-
Mar 3, 2017This game blew me away in a way none have in a long time. I can honestly say that every expectation I had was fulfilled, and it is a truly beautiful experience.
-
Mar 3, 2017This is hands down the best game I have ever played, sad to see that there are so many salty trolls in here trying to take the score down, the wait was worth it. Nintendo delivers once again.
-
Mar 3, 2017I dont have a switch because im a poor f*ck but because sony c*cks is being a c*nt so i rate it 10/10
Dont you just hate it when people use their free of speech just to f*ck over someone opinion? How about do it fair and square? -
Mar 3, 2017I have played the game, but the Wii U version. My review is going here to help combat the trollish cancer that thinks that they can make up complaints to bring down the score of a game that they haven't played exclusively because they WANT it to fail.

Mar 3, 2017a game changer for the open world industry, that use "anything" to "solve anything" , several ways to solve situations and puzzles, not with the "dungeon item" anymore, you can do it even with enemy items , a must play for any gamer in the world
-
Mar 3, 2017This game will go down in history. I've caught myself tearing up multiple times just at the beautiful environments and music. It really saddens me people rate this negatively just out of spite. Play the game, it really is THAT GOOD. It rarely holds your hand, half the gameplay is just playing around with the physics and exploring the MASSIVE world. This is the benchmark of the decade.
-
Mar 3, 2017This is a phenomnal game. It brings back the old Zelda adventuring nostolgia while reworking Nintendo's classic recipe. Explore everything you can see and stand in awe at the landscapes you come accross. This isn't just the next Ocarina of Time. Hopefully all the people leaving troll reviews won't ruin your impression of this great game.
-
Mar 3, 2017Just amazing, stuning!
Nintendo has always made very good videogames, but The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is even better than that, it is a masterpiece. -
Mar 3, 2017One of the best games of this generation, thank you, nintendo, for making your fans' dreams true again. I can't stop playing this amazing game, so much to discover.
-
Mar 3, 2017There is not to much to say. It is a zelda, a very good zelda game open world is wonderful, inventory is perfect, awesome item system and loot. I love almost everything about this game.
-
Mar 3, 2017esté juego ya regresó a su lugar (a su trono en el olimpo) ya no hay nada que hablar,
proximamente juego del año, ya se gano el titulo de lo mejor del e3, lo mejor de gamescorn y lo mas esperado de game awards -

-
Mar 3, 2017The best open world physics driven game period. Also a great Zelda game, Overall the best console launch title ever
Also the first Zelda, with cut-scenes and voice acting, and it is fantastic -
Mar 3, 2017O 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.
-
Mar 3, 2017I went around towns smashing pots and exploring the wilderness. I got my sword and killed enemies I also went around getting quest from trippy looking people. I then went home and played Legend of Zelda Breath of Wild 10/10 ( READ THIS: get this game on PC if you prefer grapics to be better but if it does'nt matter to you then just play on the switch amazing game eaither way)
-
Mar 3, 2017So 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.
-
Mar 3, 2017el mejor juego del mundo es increíble la libertad que da y lo preciosista que resulta su apartado artístico es aquí donde se nota lo importante que es Nintendo para la industria del vídeo juego.
el juego tiene toda la esencia Nintendo, gracias Nintendo muchas gracias por darnos esta maravilla de juego -
Mar 3, 2017Best game I have played in my life. I will always remember where I was when I started playing this. Can't wait for the DLC coming later this year. Thank you Nintendo!!
-
Mar 4, 2017Absolutely stunning. The new addition to the Zelda series is a game no one should miss whether you love or hate Nintendo. Zelda BotW re-defines the meaning of the term "Open-World" (Nintendo likes the term Open-Air) and challenges other Studios to step up their games.
-
Mar 3, 2017Sublime, perfectly weighted, sandbox adventure game. Well worth the wait. Atmospherically and emotionally the best Zelda of them all. Every activity is polished to perfection. Breathes new life into the franchise with satisfying gameplay, art direction and level design
-
Mar 4, 2017
-
Mar 4, 2017For me it's the best game in years. It's full of stuff to explore but you still need to explore and feel some sort of freedom instead of blinking stuff.fff
-
Mar 5, 2017Melhor jogo já criado em toda a história da humanidade, The Last Of US e The Witcher 3 não chegam nem perto desta belezinha.
Gráficos 10/10
Trilha sonora 10/10
Jogabilidade 10/10 -
Mar 5, 2017Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia. Un mundo abierto que parece tener vida propia. Reinvención de la saga dando como resultado un juego dificil de superar.
-
Mar 6, 2017Amazing game! All the people giving it bad reviews don't own a switch, or a Wii U, and are only here to troll. Trust the reviews, this game is completely worth the time and money!!! Simply Awe inspiring!!!
-

Mar 5, 2017Great Game all i can say is that this game is a masterpiece 10/10. a
-
Mar 4, 2017Here comes the new Goty 2017... Hatters... please, don`t **** yourselves!
The game is perfect in every aspect, the overworld, the enemies, difficulty, ect. -
Mar 3, 2017Second only to Ocarina of Time. .
-
Mar 3, 2017Great game, one of the best zelda i've ever played. The only problem that i have with it is that the optimization on the wiiu, its just a little bit bad, but it ok
-
Mar 3, 2017Um dos melhores Zeldas já produzidos, com toda certeza justifica a compra, graças a seu mundo aberto incrível que aplica novas mecânicas sem perder as antigas ao mesmo tempo.
-
Mar 5, 2017Ocarina of Time has been dethroned. Breath of the Wild is simply the best game I have ever played and I have played tons of games. The amount of detail in this game is amazing. I give it my highest recommendations. This game offers you true freedom. You can go anywhere you want and do anything, the characters are charming, the graphics are great.
-
Mar 3, 2017
-
Mar 4, 2017The best Nintendo game IN YEARS. Amazing in every way, some people thought this Zelda would copy new game, it showed us how the saga doesn't lose his identity. Amazing, just amazing.
-
Mar 3, 2017
-
Mar 3, 2017Beautiful open world. I haven't had this sense of pure joy and freedom in quite a while. I'm very excited to sink many, many hours into this game. Looks beautiful on the switch screen, and looks great on the big screen.
-
Mar 4, 2017Breath of the wild ist auf den Punkt gebracht ein grandioses Spiel. Zwar sind meiner Meinung nach die Quest in The Witcher 3 etwas einfallsreicher und insgesamt spannender, doch kann das neue Zelda insbesondere durch seine grandiose Spielwelt auftrumpfen, die es so noch nie in einem Videospiel gegeben hat. Breath of the Wild gehört für mich unter die absoluten Top-Zeldas!
-
Mar 4, 2017El juego es increíble. Los gráficos son preciosos, lo nunca visto. La innovación es increíble. Sin duda es el mejor juego de la historia. Posiblemente,es mejor que el maravilloso Ocarina Of Time
-

Mar 4, 2017There are so many ways to travel through the world. The map and the characters look really good. I like the graphic Style. The world is fascinating and lovingly designed. Recommended!
-
Mar 4, 2017the game is beautiful and passes you a beautiful emotion ... some small imperfections, but there is no impact on the magnificence of the title gameplay ... in portable mode deserves full marks

Mar 4, 2017An absolutely fantastic game. Truly will go down in history as one of the greatest games of the modern era, possibly even all time. A beautiful world full of content, challenging and mind boggling puzzles, with wonderful and innovative dungeons, though far and few between. This is truly the quintessential Zelda title, outshining all in every regard.
-
Mar 4, 2017Honestly it's amazing. I thought I'd miss the traditional dungeons but the shrines in this game work just fine. The world is beautiful and full of life. I do miss the traditional Zelda-esqu music but what it's replaced with is equally good.
-
Mar 5, 2017It is what is expected of Zelda, the preserved style, the flow of the story, different graphics or art of the pattern, colors, drama, sadness in moments, fantasy, and if sme game cumore this with primor, brings the best in Zelda style of being.
-
Mar 5, 2017
-
Mar 5, 2017The best The Legend of Zelda ever released, overcome Twilight princess which was my favorite. Graphics, soundtrack, story, everything is perfect. Guaranteed fun. Congratulations to Nintendo for another great game from the biggest franchise in the history of the gaming world.
-

Mar 6, 2017Game is excellent. Narrative is told well, world is open but alive, graphically beautiful, etc. Soundtrack is also great. Would recommend to long time fans and first timers alike.
-
Mar 3, 2017Best 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.
-
Mar 3, 2017Realmente aun no he jugado el juego me lo compro mañana, igualmente pondre 10 porque quisiera opacar todos esos cerotillos que ponen 0 al juego, soy nintendero.
-
Mar 4, 2017Absolutely stunning, one of the greatest of all time.
Pros:
+Amazing soundtrack
+Great art style
+Good story
+Gameplay is fun af
+Incredible open world
Cons:
+Occasional FPS dips in docked mode
Get this game. -
Mar 5, 2017Best game ever made, slighty better than Horizon, that is a very good game too.
The soundtrack is simple and immersive, makes you feel that you're in the game, love it. -
Mar 4, 2017Breath of the Wild is nothing short of a masterpiece. All the people leaving negative reviews are literally just Sony ponies who haven't even tried the game and are crying because this game beat out Horizon Zero Dawn.
-
Mar 3, 2017A very good game with deep mechanics very good graphics as a proffecional gamer this game is easy a 10
and already almost have it with 98/100 from the Official Score from the Official sites
Sad some people trolling to try to put the score lower with just putting a 0 but they cant change the 97/100 or the 98/100 from the official score and the reality cant be changed by trolls -
Mar 3, 2017I have no words to explain the magic of Breath of the Wild. Simply, is the best videogame of Zelda that I have ever played, and YES, I have played almost all (Except Skyward sword and DS titles)
-
Mar 3, 2017Amazing. 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. -
Mar 3, 2017A lot of Sony and MicroBORINGsoft fanboys here giving this game a 0 because they don't have good exclusive.
It's over guys! This is one of the best games ever! DEAL WITH IT! Go back to yours poor consoles and play the Boringcharted 4 and No One Cares About This Halo 2. -
Mar 3, 2017A truly fantastic game. Zelda returns to form, bringing us a beautiful open world, fantastic art style and phenomenal soundtrack. I can say with absolute certainty that the Switch is worth the money even if you're going to play only this game.
-
Mar 3, 2017This game is so good, I don't want to do it, I want it to do me. It's even better in handheld mode. The composition of the colours is perfect; the gameplay is tight and you just want to explore more and more. Nothing seems forced.
-
Mar 3, 2017Breath of the Wild is a game many may remember for years to come. Most games these days are typically too long and repetitious. This game, however, seems to have mastered the RPG elements and the open-world exploration formula. It is a unique experience and a must buy.
-
Mar 3, 2017I haven't played it that much yet, but it's shaping to be one of the greatest games ever made! It exudes beauty in every single pixel of it. It's a masterpiece. 10/10
-
Mar 3, 2017This game is probably one of the few that you will never forget. This game gives a new definition to the open world genre. Can't wait to go back to Hyrule.! A truth masterpiece!
-
Mar 4, 2017
-
Mar 4, 2017This game is brilliant, and it's unfortunate that some people will rate a game 0 just because they personally don't like it or want to see it's score lower. It becomes battle of the 10's V 0
-
Mar 7, 2017This is by far the best game I have ever played. I usually don't like games that give you too much freedom, but every discovery in Breath of the Wild is so rewarding that I see myself exploring more and more. Great gameplay, beautiful art style, likable characters and many challenges to keep you playing for weeks.

Dec 12, 2017Where 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.
-
Aug 30, 2017Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece.

Games Master UKMay 19, 2017Up there with the finest Zelda games, Breath of the Wild is bold, liberating, and utterly astonishing. [Apr 2017, p.60]
