    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just beat the game today, i enjoyed it overall and it is an excellent game, however no game is perfect, and I was majorly disappointed with the dungeons and bosses, to me it was an extreme lack of creativity when it came to all the gannon's you fight, they pretty much were all the same just with a different weapon and were very easy, even dark beast gannon was somewhat disappointing, it looked great but only had one attack, the yugi clan basically let you win, and another thing to me that is extremely important to every zelda game, is the music, which when beating the game i had barely any songs that left a heavy footprint, which never happens when it comes to a zelda game at least for me. As a game I give it 9/10, as a zelda fanboy, i give it 8/10… Expand

    Breath of the wild is one of the greatest Zelda games ever made, without a doubt. It is gorgeous (for a nintendo game), and the open world gameplay is fantastic. My only gripe is the frame rate issues. that is the only reason that this game gets a 9 instead of a 10.

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a entirely new Zelda game with the core mechanics changed and everything is centered around the open world environment. The story of this game is one of the most deep and gripping stories I have ever witnessed. I shed a few tears.

The story of this game is one of the most deep and gripping stories I have ever witnessed. I shed a few tears.
    But in order to see this story, you have to find very specific places in this massive world with picture clues. Which is tedious and a chore but it pays off.

    The open world design gives the game a completely non linear approach to where you can storm the final boss right after the tutorial area. The world connects very well and the whole map has wasted eggs in the location names and Easter eggs that can be found in game.

    The combat is where the game either makes or breaks the experience.
    At the start of the game, dispatching foes can be extremely creative (ie putting a balloon on someone and make them float away) and fun, but later in the game that is scapped because of your foes high HP.
    Weapon durability can be annoying, but it really adds to the whole "survival" aspect of the game and is really fun (to me at least).

    One of the main things that puts this apart from other Zelda games is the difficulty. This is not a easy game. It's not too hard either (coming from me though, I've beaten and 100% all souls games). You can easily die without good armor and such. But the non linear world allows for you to wander into end game smokies who kill you with just their glare. And the bosses are just meh. Not too creative and forgettable.

    The game runs fine for me, I noticed no frame drops or anything. The graphics are pretty and fun to look at. Minimalistic but detailed. They are cell shaded and it looks lovely

    All in all, this is one of my favorite games I've played in a long time.
    I give it a 9/10 for excellent story but with tedious mechanics here and there but overall it's a masterpiece    … Expand

Framerate drops are an issues that come up from time to time (Wii U Version). Weapons break a little bit too easily as well.

This game sets you up from the beginning with a clear goal in mind and from there you just explore and uncover the story for yourself if you so choose to do so. Simply running around this vibrant and beautiful world is a pleasure from start to finish. I never really felt a need to progress the story or get to the next 'checkpoint'. It's a wild world and it begs you to uncover its secrets. What's lying in wait in that next canyon? I wonder if I can glide all the way across and still be able to climb that cliff on the other side? This is what makes the game so special. There is such an attention to detail and physics in this game that it is truly mind-boggling. If you think you can do it, chances are that you can. The sense of freedom is unrivaled in any game that came before it. It's all in the title of the game, Breath of the Wild. Another masterpiece from Nintendo that will endure for generations as one of the most beloved titles in the company's history.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game took a while to get into. People seem to be praising the slow start but I like a little backstory to my games. I didn't have an issue with the slow intro to past Zelda games. Once you meet Impa, you begin to piece together what this game is about. There are 4 behemoths that you must take back from Ganon. Over a hundred shrines scattered throughout the land that provide classic Zelda puzzles. A ton of side quests that start off silly but get really cool as you progress through the game. Overall, I gotta say this game is excellent and one of the best Zelda games to date.… Expand

If not for the trailers showing it to be much better, I might not have gotten the game at all. I got the game and found it to be quite good. I had started to grow concerned for the series, but with this amazing game, I no longer feel that way. The open world feels more like the original NES Zelda than any other game in the series, while still being very much its own thing, and this return to the series roots breaks a lot of the conventions that I've had a problem with ever since Ocarina of Time.

    Though as someone who enjoys exploration far more than combat, I do feel like the enemies should have far less health than they do. In the original Zelda, fighting a group of blue lynels with the wooden sword was very difficult, but completely possible. Fighting just one with a boko club in this game is simply impossible... But at least the combat difficulty curve isn't based on how patient you can be, like it was from Ocarina of Time through to Skyward Sword, which was a terrible design decision.

    The enemies also don't feel very varied, simply because such a large percentage of them are humanoids, which all seem to act pretty similarly. Where are the tektites, leevers, pols voice, & poes? And if you're going to favor humanoids so much, why not a few with play styles that are a bit more different, like the boomerang-favoring goriyas, or the slow-but-tough gibdos and redeads? Thankfully, most combat can pretty much be ignored for those who wish to simply run past it, so I'm not going ding the game on that, but it's a thought to share..

    The world to explore is huge without feeling empty like Ocarina of Time's larger areas, or feeling repetitive like most open worlds seem to do. For example, I enjoyed Fallout 3 & New Vegas, but didn't get Fallout 4 simply because I got so tired of staring at a brown screen, and with the same assets everywhere, most places didn't feel unique enough to really remember where what was in relation to one another. Breath of the Wild's regions are colorful and varied, with no areas feeling too samey to one another.

    All in all, great job on this. 10/10 from me!    … Expand

The NPCs have their own schedules and special quirks that make them memorable. I do think some of the English voice acting could be better, but it doesn't bother me too much.

    This Zelda game does the best out of all the previous Zelda games as far as achieving that original goal in exploration, but does fall a bit short in the story. Nonetheless, this game is the ultimate exploration in game with almost no limits, and is has a very strategic play style with it's combat and dungeons. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys life.

    Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia: gran mapa, un divertido sistema de batalla y con una exploración capaz de mantenerte entretenido durante más de 100 horas. Le falla la historia pero es muy difícil hacerla en un mundo abierto y los recuerdos es muy buen atajo narrativo. Mi nota es un 99/100, mi enhorabuena Nintendo.

    The game looks nice and has a great story, but i'm not a platform gamer so it's very difficult. I wish there was an easy mode that would made the enemies and bosses a little bit easier to fight. Overall the game is fun to play as long as you don't fight any boss. I'm stuck at the water temple boss, and can't defeat him. Therefor i give it a 9/10.

The most recent entries are very linear and consistently held the players hand leaving no challenge to the experience. Breath of the Wild is a Van Gogh painting is to art. The game is simply beautiful, the very first moment Link wakes up from his mysterious 100 year sleep players will be treated to a wonderful view of one of the most artistic and well designed worlds ever created. From here the player is cleverly and unknowingly taught everything about the game in the tutorial area The Great Plateau. 1 hour later, and the world of Hyrule is your playground. The world might not look realistic visually, but in terms of nature it is the most realistic environment I've ever seen in a game. Trees host fruit like apples, that can be cut down to get wood, and the wood and be ignited with a piece of flint to cook those apples, and if in a cold environment that fire will keep you warm... everything compliments each other and is truly the beginning of a new survival experience. And the best part is you can do whatever whenever. Even the games story isn't linear, which tells a mysterious tale of Link trying to recover his memories after being defeated in battle 100 years ago. Link will also try and help the main settlements of Hyrule defeat and conquer the four Devine Beasts, which are mechanical animal giants that are being controlled by Calamity Ganon. These act as the games main dungeons, and offer a refreshing change to the predictable Zelda dungeon formula. As well as these, the player is free to find 120 mini dungeons called Shrines. These will offer smaller challenges as well as chance to upgrade your life hearts and stamina. There are also many side missions to complete to earn some extra rupees, weapons, food and rare materials, some are more interesting than others but the rewards proved to be surprisingly useful. There are also many many other things to try out, like upgrading your armour, taming the best horse, experimenting with materials to create the best food, finding all 900 Korok seeds, but some of the best moments come from being imaginative with the games amazing physics. This is not only the best launch title ever, this is potentially the best game ever. This alone is worth buying a Switch for. 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Breath of the Wild is a true masterclass in art direction and game design. Nintendo always delivers, but this past generation has felt a bit like they have been surpassed in sheer scope and scale with the increasing popularity of open world gaming and freedom of choice, and they really needed to cast a wider net instead of simply focusing on games for younger audiences. This game combines elements of all of my favorite games, not only from the past decade but since I started gaming in general. The art direction is absolutely stunning. Instead of focusing on realism, there is a true hand drawn aesthetic, a whimsical feeling as if you are playing an interactive Pixar movie. Don’t let the lack of graphical realism bring you down, as there is also an attention to detail rarely seen in open world games. Fire spreads, lightning strikes you when wearing metal armor, every drop of rain is seen and heard as it falls, every single blade of grass is rendered individually...it may not sound like much on paper, but things like this truly make the world feel like it lives and breathes. It is truly mesmerizing just wandering through the country side, the grass blowing in the wind, your shield rattling as you sprint up a hill, only to find an enemy camp off in the distance. You can run right in, “guns blazing”, yet this sometimes is the last tactic you want to employ, as many of the stronger enemies are capable of one shotting you with ease. You shoot a fire arrow at the red barrel nearby and it violently explodes, sending the enemies flying with incredible (and often hilarious) rag doll physics. You run for the top of the hill, staying out of sight, and chop down a massive tree and push it over the hill upon the enemies, watching as it picks up momentum and clobbers them all. Occurrences like this provide a true breath of fresh air (pun intended) for a franchise as long standing as The Legend of Zelda. Every single surface is climbable. Instead of traditional dungeons, we have shrines scattered across the land containing trials reminiscent of the dungeons and puzzles of the Zelda titles of yesteryear. Familiar characters and races are back, but everything is truly bigger, better, and most importantly, more fun than ever. The world is absolutely massive and contains many environments and a vast array of breathtaking vistas, truly some of the most stunning horizons and colors I’ve ever seen in a game. The atmosphere is second to none, providing nothing short of pure tranquility as you gallop across the rolling plains on your trusty steed, or climb up a snow capped peak to find a hidden shine, and then shield surf your way back to the foot of the mountain. This is a game that must be played to be truly experienced.

    There are a few minor quips. I completed the Gerardo Divine beast first. This was easily the most in depth and full fledged area and the most challenging divine beast in the entire game. The rest of the towns and beasts felt lackluster after tackling Gerudo first. Hint: START WITH RITO VILLAGE.
    Weapons breaking is a bit annoying, but you get used to it.
    Lack of lengthy dungeons and other traditional Zelda elements may throw off longtime fans. No clever boss strategies and the bosses are all a bit similar.

    Overall this game is a modern masterpiece and in my opinion must be experienced by anyone who has ever considers themselves a gamer of any kind. It’s one of those games you can pick up and get absolutely lost in, a feeling I haven’t truly experienced since The Ocarina of Time and more recently, Skyrim. I found the most enjoyment just wandering and discovering new areas and gameplay elements. A stunning achievement that is more than worthy of the Game of The Year title, and, quite possibly, one of the top five games of the decade.    … Expand

The fact that you need to constantly adjust the camera makes the gameplay annoying.
    The story is ok but nothing much. All the main characters you meet seem to have a huge depression on their minds, specially the princess that probably has the biggest depression ever of a character on the history of games.
    There is absolutely no character or story development. Just plain old go kill the bad guy and save the princess. It's basically the same story since Donkey Kong back in 1983...
    The open world experience is amazing where you can go anywhere you like. This makes you choose different paths and ways to get around. This is the best aspect of the game. The paraglider is an amazing feature.
    The puzzles and dungeons are simple and don't have the greatness that previews games had. Don't know why they made this a basic game.
    In conclusion, this is a good game. But it's far away from being a masterpiece like the witcher 3, god of war or the last of us. It's a good open world game with a massive map to explore but with bad gameplay aspects, bland story, annoying details and no music.    … Expand

    Zelda used to be quality, fun games with an interesting world and not a big open space of mostly Empty plain or mountain which could easily be left out and not subtract anything of the game, in fact, it would add to leave out 70% of this empty world since it would mean less empty space to traverse to find something interesting.

    The world had fun lore and story that made you follow it which BotW has almost nothing of and the only reason I excuse the empty, lifeless world is the lore of it being a 100 years after basically Armageddon.

    It was fun to engage with enemies and try different items to play around with them but weapons breaking all the time isn't fun at all. It only discourages to fight because you will only loose the weapons you have since most chest are locked behind "kill all enemies in the vicinity" flags and at best you get something worse that again, breaks after a few uses. If you at least had weak base equipment with the only special trait to be unbreakable and infinite use to fall back once you run out it would make this acceptable. Heck, not even the legendary Master Sword can't be used all the time since it needs recharging every so often.

    Zelda used to encourage exploration to find cool stuff but that doesn't apply anymore because at best you find more stuff that just breaks so you would not have any feeling of finding something precious, it's just throw away trash you could substitute whenever.

    Dungeons were fun and "awe-inspiring" and now all we get are puzzle rooms and mini-dungeons with annoying motion controls at time. You can't even call the divine beast a dungeon since they are so small and have little unique look to it.    … Expand

    I give it a 9/10 because Zelda BotW is not a perfect game. It is an ALMOST perfect game, though.

    It does feel refreshing to walk into this adventure and make it your own. There are just a handful of tips, clues and tutorials and the rest is up to you. It completely connected me back to the very first Zelda, on the NES, when you would start the game, get a sword and, well, good luck.    I give it a 9/10 because Zelda BotW is not a perfect game.

    BotW follows the same principle. This is YOUR story. Make it your OWN. Discover it, feel it, EXPERIENCE it. You will die a lot, for sure; but you will also be amazed with your discoveries. That´s the beauty of this phenomenal experience. I am loving to play this and I think it was worth it to buy a Switch just to play it. I absolutely love this game and I really think everyone should play it to see for themselves that the hype, the praise, it is all real.

    But, like I said before, this is not a perfect game. It has its fair share of flaws. My biggest complain being the weapon durability system. It sucks. It makes me like the game less. Zelda is all about a collection of an arsenal, and to hone your skills around them. This is gone, for good. You get a fair amount of weapons and shields that break just around the corner. I understand the mindset behind this mechanic, but I really feel it hurts the game. If Zelda BotW had a fixed inventory of weapons and items, the experience (at least for me) would be much, much better.    … Expand

The overfamiliar structure, that hadn’t really evolved since Ocarina of Time, coupled with the constant hand holding and interruptions of NPCs meant that Zelda seemed to be running out of ideas. How wrong I was……..

    Virtually every issue I’ve had with the series of late seems to have been solved. The first example is the excellent tutorial section on the Great Plateau which, rather than trying to explain all the different controls and concepts through dull text, teaches all the basics by simply allowing the player to explore a limited area of the map. Once you gain access to the glider that allows you to leave the plateau things you’ll quickly realise just how big this open world is and guess what? You can go anywhere you want! There’s no artificial restrictions or areas you can’t access without finding a certain item, Breath of the Wild shows you this world to explore and then actually lets you explore it.

    One of the main things to discover are the shrines, there are around 300 I believe and completing the tasks inside of each rewards the player with orbs that can be used to increase your life or stamina (which is vital for climbing). Unlike the dungeons in previous Zelda titles these never outstay their welcome as they only take 5-10 minutes to complete for the most part and many introduce completely unique puzzles or concepts. Even better is the fact that many can be completed in more than one way and you’re actively encouraged to think outside the box.

    I could go on for pages about all the clever ideas in Breath of the Wild but I’ll finish by saying that, not only does it set a new standard for the Zelda series, it sets a new standard that open world games are going to find it very hard to match.    … Expand

    While the game overall itself isn't perfect, story was only alright, voice acting was off at times, those are really minor gripes when you think about what this game actually strives for. The main story literally takes a backseat to pure and unfettered exploration. The main and best character of this game is the world. To me, it feels like it's own being. A living, breathing thing. No game has ever made me feel this way about the world, and yes, I've played and enjoyed Witcher 3.

    I also didn't mind the weapon durability system at all. The game was also one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played, showing truly that a solid art style can compete or beat realism. The difficulty was also very much to my liking. Punishing if you don't think things through, but rewarding and still challenging when you approach a situation from a better angle.

    Speaking of which, every damn thing in this world is connected through the in game physics engine! There are almost limitless possibilities to how you can approach a situation! Think about it! That's like another dimension of freedom itself!

    Although I did at times wish there was a bit more music present as most world exploration is filled with mainly ambient sounds, when it did kick in when for example a Guardian was targeting you, or when you reach a town, it was awesome.

The game is unbelieveably polished, it never cease to surpirse me - those little details like moments when it starts to rain and if You wield metalic shield the thunders strike you. If it strikes grass it sets on fire. You can throw a bomb into water to kill fishes. Chop the trees down. Or when You try to tame a horse - it acts like a living thing. Link moves so smoothly and realistic. All animations are just simply amazing... Well i cant think of any other words than that - game is just amazing.
    I just scrathed the sufrace but all I want to say is if You can spend a bit money like I could - do Yourself a favour and buy this game. 10/10.    … Expand

Curiously, the same thing happened to me with the first Zelda I played in Super nes, another timeless masterpiece.

    It is for exquisite palates, to be enjoyed little by little, without being in a hurry to reach the end. Lots of quality content, both children and adults will like it, guaranteed.

    The artistic direction is implacable, they look like cartoons, the performance is constant, the motor moves everything with great ease, both in portable console mode and on the dock, although playing it on a 1080p TV is probably the best way, the soundtrack is good It could be better, more epic for my taste, the introduction of the open world is quite a statement of intent on how to do it right. It is not that it is huge, but that there is coherence, that there is always something to do, that it makes sense, something that is very difficult to achieve and that only a select few are capable of achieving. If something could be improved, it is to include in the game mechanics the possibility of playing cooperatively on the same machine or online.

    Nintendo, think of the siblings who could play together in this wonderful story of friendship, duty and love. They are very good values ​​that should be taught to the little ones. My 7 year old nephew is enjoying this game, and after having played Mario Odyssey, Luigis Mansion, Super Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and a few more, this is the one he has played the most and the one he liked the most. The pity is that it is a single player game and I see the twin sister who also likes it, but the protagonist is a boy.
    Nintendo, puts Princess Zelda or another female character as a co-op protagonist in these types of games.

    Breath of the Wild is a great game. It delivered a fun open world sandbox experience better than many other open world games where that is the selling point.

The puzzles are excellent, and exploring is loads of fun, but I don't think it quite reaches the 10 score that everyone is giving it. For one while the world feels very alive there are huge areas of pretty much nothing, really I think the map size should have been a lot smaller so there wasn't these large stretches of boringness. Also while I like the idea of breaking weapons, I think they break waaaaayyy too soon. 5-10 hits is barely anything and thats usually how long a weapon will last. With the speed at which gear breaks the game ends up being largely inventory management, which isn't very fun. Really those are my two big complaints. Other than that this game delivers a unique experience that feels like zelda, and also like a whole new game. I'd say its the near perfect revival to the series. The addition of new abilities like magnesis and time halting are really fun to mess around with and widen the sandbox nature of the game, and besides a few rough patches in highly populated towns or cities, it runs great of the switch.… Expand

    There's no avoiding people have been praising this game left and right as the perfect Zelda game, but it's not there yet.
    The game is definitely amazing, what with your really fun open exploration that really IS exploration, and not just moving over a similar spot over and over again that expands endlessly like in other games.
    The game forces you to craft accordingly, get rupees and challenge you with some puzzles that include basic puzzle-stuff with physics one. The Shrines are very fun, and challenging, and can really stretch your imagination to pick at some of the more far-out ones, but...
    Some are really out there and not really a challenge at all, they're just time wasters- if I know what to do and the game is just fighting against me, this is not fun.
    The thing about crafting however is that what you do with each object specifically is buried by text, I wish they'd made it clear what goes in an Elixir, what goes in a regular Stew and what goes in BOTH. Yes, I get that being vague and trial-and-error is suppose to give the sense that you're starting up confused and alone in the world, but... why write it down in the description then? Why not just let the player experiment completely on their own? Don't half-and-half me Nintendo.
    The fighting is solid and fluid. However, the controller is clunky and doesn't work well with it. Reaction time has some delay to it that I never got used to even after a long time with the game, and making the crouch button sensitive on the movement was not a good idea because when things get tense and I want to run real fast, I don't want to end up crouch-walking.
    The weapon selection in the game is awesome. However, this is limited by two factors- the durability system is bad, and instead of making you slowly refine and select the best weapons in the game and feel like a badass by the end of it, you hoard a few weapons for bosses and use crap ones for the rest of the encounters in fear they'll break. So it's more management than anything.
    When you do find a really rare, powerful, awesome looking weapon, and go 'Yes!' you then feel annoyed when you realize the next two enemies you'll use that weapon will end up breaking the weapon and that extra mile you went in the Shrine to get it was all for naught.
    The story is there, it makes you feel like these are actually people living in a kind of disjointed world, while not shoving text in your face all of the time, you want to look for lore? Go ahead and read diaries, you don't want to? Then just kill the big monsters and save the world, Zelda? Who's that? I'm just here to slay stuff and get rupees.

    The game will often surprise and have fun with you at every turn, and at the same time it'll be obtuse and unexplained at other junctures. It'll try to give you the mindset of experimenting with what you have, and at the same time present you with really limited options or just punish you for trying something out there and the physics, controls and general environment will be working against you.

    The game is fun, but the huge potential it has and the fact it has such a trouble fulfilling it because of some really weird choices turns me to give it a less than perfect score... too bad.    … Expand

    Really fun Zelda sandbox, absolutely recommended!
    You can go directly to the ending, or do the main missions, or help in heroical sidequests, or help in silly gossip sidequests, or solve the puzzles in the shrines, or etc... or you can just go nuts and have fun with the sandbox.
    I won't give it a 10 because I think the story is not that good, but the gameplay is perfect.

    Un Zelda que no decepciona, apuesta por un mundo libre gigantesco, que te puede costar mas de 200 horas explorarlo por completo, ademas de que esta lleno de detalles, divertido, y sobre todo vivo, algo parecido a lo que hizo Shenmue. Las misiones principales tienen unas 12 o 13 horas. Buenos graficos. Lo peor es el pase de temporada, que le resta mucho

    Este juego es la mayor obra maestra creada tanto por Nintendo y por supuesto Eiji Aonuma, sabemos que Eiji Aonuma es un grandisimo genio de la industria y que a creado obras maestras como Ocarina Of Time, pero este le supera por mucho.

    El gameplay es una maravilla, las físicas y mecánicas que se llegan a contemplar en este juego son increíbles, como la climatología, la interacción con objetos, también como afecta el entorno a nuestra jugabilidad, si llueve no podemos escalar, si tenemos frió Link va perdiendo vida...

    Son tantos los detalles que se pueden llegar a ver que llega a ser hasta abrumador (en el buen sentido).

    En cuanto ha historia si que puede llegar a dar la sensación de ser mas simple que las anteriores, pero no por esto la historia deja de ser una obra maestra.

    En este nuevo Hyrule tendremos un montón de misiones tanto principales como secundarias con gran importancia para la historia y que se notan que no están de relleno. Este es el mundo abierto mas interactivo y completo jamas creado, cuando vamos hacer una misión o nos encontramos con alguien por el camino y nos da otra misión que hacer o nos quedamos haciendo tonterías y se nos van las horas volando y sentimos que en todo un día jugado no hemos avanzado nada.

    Una banda sonora gloriosa, de las que aunque no estés jugando te dan ganas de ponerla para deleitarte.

    Conclusión final, este juego por si solo merece la compra de una Nintendo Switch, es una obra maestra que si te gustan los videojuegos NO TE LA PUEDES PERDER, es el juego que crea una nueva etapa en lo que respecta a los juegos de mundo abierto.    … Expand

Enemies are numerous and challenging and combat is punishing, versatile and rewarding. Dungeons and boss fights are no longer tied to a linear path of progression or ""Dungeon Specific Items," but rather wit and intuition to utilize the tools at your disposal as you analyze the latest block to your progression. Each character has a great backstory and each town carries its fair share of tasks to complete as the player pleases.

In some aspects this is one of the best games that I’ve ever played and in other aspects, I found it incredibly frustrating. One thing I did discover with this game, I don’t think I’m a fan of Zelda games. The parts of the game that are more traditional Zelda moments, I was not a fan.

    There is a lot going on with this game so I thought I would go through and talk about everything that gave me an emotional reaction. The Weapon degradation, on one hand, it didn’t bother me but in another sense. I didn’t love it. Its kind of a cool concept, weapons break and then you got to switch and use a new weapon. It forces you to try new and different weapons but at the same time, it discourages you from using the weapons that you like. If you like a weapon, you don’t want to use because it’ll break and the more I think about it, the less I like that game mechanic.

    Shrines, this is probably my favorite part of the entire game. There are 120 shrines throughout the world and on the gigantic open-world map you just have to find them. I like running around the world looking for these shrines and then when you do find one and enter it. That was a lot of fun as well. For the most part, that’s where you get the best weapons and for the most part, its just solve a puzzle and after you solve it. You’re rewarded with an “Orb.” 4 of these Orbs can be converted into another heart or more stamina. Solving each shrine puzzle was a lot of fun, a couple times some of the puzzles left me quite confused and then I’d realize that I was just overthinking it.

    In the previous paragraph, I mentioned Stamina. Yes, a Zelda game has Stamina and no it didn’t bother me too much. Normally Stamina is one of my biggest dislikes in a video game. It’s a major reason I stopped playing Nioh after a couple hours. You only lose stamina when you’re sprinting, swimming, paragliding or climbing. The climbing is a big reason why the stamina mechanic exists. Without stamina, you could go anywhere you want in the world and there are some areas you probably shouldn’t visit while you’re still fairly weak.

    That really brings up the other aspect of the game that I absolutely loved and that was just exploring the world. Yes, I was running around and opening up the map so I could find shrines but it was a lot of fun just exploring every nook and cranny of that world. Early on, I put all of my upgrades into stamina so it would get easier to explore the world. I want to say at least the first 6 or 7 upgrades went right into stamina. Once I had enough stamina and I felt like I could go anywhere in the world. That’s when I switched to accumulating hearts.

    For the most part, I have talked about what I loved about the game but its time for me to rant a little bit. My biggest complaint by far is rain. Rain is this fun game mechanic that makes the game unplayable. If it’s raining then you can’t climb and if you can’t climb then you can’t explore. If you can’t explore, there is no reason to play this game. Now there are options to counteract rain. One is to create a campfire and advance time to when it’s not raining but for that, you have to find a cave or some kind of shelter because otherwise, the rain puts out the campfire. So you have to run around for 5-10 minutes looking for a place to start a campfire. Also to start a campfire you need wood which can be acquired by chopping down which are everywhere and flint. Now flint can be found by blowing up specific rocks. When you blow the rocks up, it doesn’t just spit out flint, you could end up getting other crafting materials instead. Because I’m such a lucky guy for the first 15-20 hours, I never found any flint. So I was able to just skip the rain. So I would have to do the other thing and that was fast travel a different area. Which I remember one day, I turned on my switch, the area I was in was raining so I went somewhere else. That place was raining as well so I went somewhere else and you guessed it, it was raining there as well. At that point, I turned off my system and walked away.

    My second biggest complaint was the dungeons. I don’t know what it was but the game had 4 dungeons and I hated them. They just felt tedious and annoying. I enjoyed solving the puzzles in the shrines but the dungeons felt like a step too far and I did not enjoy spending any time in the dungeons.

    My final complaint is the boss battles. There was 5 total and 3 didn’t bother me but the other 2 just nearly broke me. I think it’s important to note that I don’t love games where the primary weapon is a sword. I like sitting back and shooting more than stabbing or swinging. Just personal preference. So 3 out of the 5 battles I could do just that. Sit back, fire my arrows, dodge, and dive. I never really got that close but then all of a sudden the last 2 boss battles I couldn’t play the way I prefer.    … Expand
