    A game like this comes out once in a generation. Every single open world game from here on will be compared to Breath of the Wild. Nintendo once again proving that when they're backed into a corner, nobody even comes close to topping them. They put 200% into this game and I urge everybody to play it.

    Why can't I give it more than a 10?
    Enormous world full of surprises, lots of enemies, lots of wildlife and NPCs, lots of cities. Wonderful! Also, physics are top-notch. Absolutely love it!

    this is great it really lived up to the hype for me the graphics are good especial considering how small the Switch is to a Xbox or PlayStation like geez almost as powerful and like 1/20th the size. its also funny seeing all the Sony fans freaking out and making up random reviews. this is true comedy.

    La historia en este videojuego es una Magnum Opus, pues si bien está basada en la misma base característica, viene a romper muchas de las convenciones y a decirnos que tal vez queramos tomárnoslo con calma y andar un rato por el bosque.

    Y es que andar por el bosque sin objetivo fijo es una gran parte de la experiencia, el juego te suelta en un mundo vivo y peligroso; pero a la vez gratificante. da gusto sobrevivir.

    Esta nueva entrega de TLOZ definitivamente merece la calificación perfecta, 10/10.    … Expand

This is a time for new ideas to be realized in video games, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild executes this masterfully. As for the Graphics and FPS, they are not bad to the point where they effect gameplay, and frankly, I am disappointed that people give a game 0/10 because the Switch doesn't match the computing power of Xbox and PS4. That is not what this game is about.

    If you are looking for an amazing, rich, and vibrant open world adventure, this is the place to find it. Side quests are around every corner, and countless other things to do are everywhere.

    Be prepared to die a lot in this game. Best way to prepare is hunting, cooking, and making elixirs. Many of the enemies will one shot you too so you'll need to be extra careful compared to past Zelda games. However, the ability to manually save everywhere takes a lot of stress out of the game. So make sure you save your progress after climbing every mountain, crossing a long river, etc.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a brilliant game, in some places flawless, but the frame rate issues make this game at times unplayable, and the horse mechanics do my head in. For the whole 80 hours I've played this, I probably spent 30 minutes on a horse because it was too frustrating to use.

    Also, coming off the main game for a second, I'm not a fan of what Nintendo is doing with the DLC, making you pay for a difficulty which is coming in the summer is an embarrassment, and the worst thing is is that people will pay for it because it's Nintendo.

    But overall, the story is great, graphically it's beautiful and the hundreds of secrets, dungeons, shrines, korok seeds and the many hours of adventure I put in to this game is worth while. I really hope Nintendo continues to do this with the Zelda franchise is the future.    … Expand

But with a twist. It will complete start a new beginning in the Zelda era. It will be like the old Zelda games (a Link to the past) where you can completely explore the whole world on your own. But now with new features and a complete open world and the main thing was, it was 3D. The mission of the game was to rethink the conventions of Zelda. After that a year long we heard nothing. At E3 2014 Eiji Aonuma showed us a little cinematic that gave us a glimpse of the new Zelda game. At some time Zelda should come 2015. However we now know that, that wasn't the case. They showed us a gameplay of the game at the game awards 2014 and it was amazing. It was such a little glimpse but everyone was pumped for the game. Later on they said they will release the game 2016 what also wasn't the case because we saw a release list of the games of 2016 and Zelda was listed for 2017. E3 2016 we saw the first Trailer showing us the game and it was amazing... the feeling this trailer gave me is undescribeable. At an event of the E3 you could also play the game. Everyone said they loved what they have played. But there were framerate drops but that isn't the big case in this review. Now 2017 they showed us the new nintendo console in detail and they also made the announcement that the console and the game would release at the 3rd March 2017. Now the day has come.... 03.03.2017 was the date and it happened....the game was finally released. And it was unbelieveable to see how good it sold. Me as an Zelda fan of the first hour was going crazy because there was no Switch or Zelda available at my local stores. But then at the 7th i finally got it and since then i am playing Zelda.... Wake up Link. You get out of the first room in to the big wild. You can see everything in your view range... and the view range is REAAAALLLY BIG. The Art-Style is beautiful, the Graphics beautiful, the Character Design is beautiful, the variety of Weapons/Armors/Bows is unbelieveably big and the Story is as beautiful as it could ever be.

    I have to give props to Nintendo for deciding to outsource their console creation to a third party of IT students with 2 hours of experience, it really gave them a lot of hands-on experience with consolemaking 101.
    Now about the game, it is about this protagonist called Zelda who carries around a legendary sword and crossdresses as a girl sometimes because of fanservice (many people were aroused by this) who is looking for this egyptian symbol he can put on his hand to grant him infinite power, much like Palpatine except he's not grey and wrinkly.

    Before I am accused of only giving this game because I am a 'Nintendo fanboy', or because I'm a brainless fan of the series, I want to point out that I favour Nintendo no more than any other company that produces games, and this is strangely the first Zelda game I have ever played. So when I say that this is already one of my favourite games of all time, it really means something.Before I am accused of only giving this game because I am a 'Nintendo fanboy', or because I'm a brainless fan of the series, I want to point out that I favour Nintendo no more than any other company that produces games, and this is strangely the first Zelda game I have ever played. So when I say that this is already one of my favourite games of all time, it really means something.

    Firstly, I will acknowledge that the graphics are a mediocre 900p, not even utilising The Switch's ability to display 1080p. But the characters are actually well animated, and the world is definitely something to behold. There have been a few frame rate drops, however, since the big update, I have not noticed any more.
    What I also noticed, and was pleasantly surprised by, the game doesn't hold your hand AT ALL. You literally step out of the spawn area, and boom, explore your heart out. And that brings me to my next point - the world is HUGE. I can't recommend this game enough if you are a fan of the open world genre. I will try to keep this review spoiler-free, but the story definitely throws away the whole 'damsel in distress' idea, which is cool. The beautiful soundtrack also only adds to my love for this game.
    Overall, if you are thinking about getting this game, you absolutely should. It's almost worth a Switch on it's own, and it's so far definitely game of the year for me.    … Expand

I even skipped out on Horizon Zero Dawn(Which I'll get eventually). As for all the negative user reviews who have never even played the game. They just need to stop being petty and get over themselves. I am no Nintendo fan boy, by any means and I never even owned a Wii U. I just took a chance on buying a switch cause I thought Breath of the Wild looked great, and it blew my expectations away.

Most of my complaints are very small, although they do add up. However, the game has so many great aspects. The fact that you can complete anything whenever you want is perfect, and weapon durability is what makes sure you can't run around with a Savage Lynel Crusher the entire game. The cutscenes are very well made, and the physics engine is one of my favorites. The fact that everything interacts with everything just makes it so much better. I would give Breath of the Wild a 9.5, but since that isn't allowed, I decided to give it a 9 because it's not a perfect game.

Unfortunately, the addition of voice acting is actually a detriment to the game and at times was borderline unacceptable. The gameplay was much less fluid than Far Cry or Horizon or even Assassin's Creed, a series which has been riddled with bugs and frustrating moments. By introducing these open world elements that have become a staple in modern western games, it forced comparisons to those games. However; if Nintendo would have made a more traditional Zelda game then perhaps it would have left me with a more positive impression of the game. As much as I tried to separate my expectations, to be honest, my opinion of the game was hurt by the overwhelmingly positive reviews it received from critics. I try not to let expectations affect me, but unfortunately that's a reality of gaming. The game isn't without it's merits though. The primary positives are the ability to go/climb anywhere and it's choice to not hold your hand (although even here, Dark Souls did it better). I appreciate both of these things immensely and my first few hours and last few hours of the game were very enjoyable. But somewhere around 30 hours in, I became fatigued and was ready to sprint to the finish. In the end I spent nearly 50 hours on my playthrough and had some wonderful moments in the open world and some unfortunately burdensome moments. Overall, it's an experienced that was very mixed for me, with very high highs and some extremely disappointing lows.… Expand

    But it was totally worth it! The open world is absolutely amazing, beautiful, jam packed with content, and MASSIVE. The physics of this game are incredible, allowing for you to climb just about anything and glide for long distances, allowing for a huge sense of exploration and almost no boundaries for where you can go. Having several shrines, instead of single long dungeons, was a great idea as well, challenging the player with puzzles without disrupting your exploration for too long a period of time. Combat is also more challenging, where your weapons break and you are forced to strategize and prioritize weapons based on the opponents that you fight. Much better than using the sword, hookshot and arrows a million times like in the old games.

    My only complaint, and this if forced, is the boss battles, which aren't too exciting or complicated, but this isn't enough of an issue to say this game isn't perfect.

    BotW is honestly a reason to buy a Switch, it is a perfect game, the best yet of the current generation of gaming, and is a really exciting direction for Nintendo. I hope that this is a good sign of things to come!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

    In this review, the game will start off with 5 points, gaining or losing them throughout this review.

    For a full review, go to the Team MM YouTube channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss it.

    If you haven't played this game yet, OPEN YOUR EYES. You have missed one of the best games to EVER come out, and that's saying something.

    Now, another spoiler warning, if you don't want to have the game spoiled for you.

    Review:

    Open your eyes... Open your eyes. Wake up, Link.
    You wake up after a 100 year sleep in the Shrine of Resurrection, where the main tutorial takes place. "Oh No!" you say to yourself. "Another seven-hour long Zelda tutorial!" Then you start playing. You learn most of the the basic mechanics in this shrine, such as climbing, wearing clothes, and using the "Sheikah Slate," a plot tool/super cool item to use, all within... 1 minute? That's right, after this tutorial, you're out in the huge open world of the Great Plateau, the birthplace of the kingdom of Hyrule. 2 points for the short tutorial. After meeting an old man, you're free to explore the HUGE world of BotW... until you realise that the huge area you're in only accounts for about 2% of the world. The old man tells you to complete four shrines, the mini-dungeons of the game, so let's say you do it. You've just unlocked the four main mechanics of the game:

    Cryonis, to freeze giants blocks of ice on top of water, making it possible to cross.

    Stasis, allowing you to freeze almost anything in time, to put either kinetic energy into it or to stop it from ramming into you.

    Magnesis, allowing you to move metallic objects out of the way.

    Bombs. Just bombs. You have an unlimited supply of them! One point for unlimited bombs.

    Now that you have completed the shrines, you can get back to the old man on the roof of the temple of time, who will do something so spoilery that even with a spoiler warning, I won't tell you. He gives you the paraglider, a tool that lets you escape the plateau, into the HUGE open world (2 points for minimal time spent in opening area) ... until you realise that you first need to go VERY far to Kakariko village, then even FARTHER to Hateno village, only to be told to go BACK to Kakariko village. After that, you are told to find a certain location (When you're nearby, you'll see a rainbow shine where it is). The easiest one to find is near the Great Plateau, which means you have to go all the way back there, and then go BACK TO KAKARIKO VILLAGE (YES, AGAIN)! Minus 6 points for boring stuff! Anyway, after that, you're playing a Nearly Flawless game. PROS (Plus 0.5 to 2 points for each): HUGE WORLD (2), hard fighting without the frustration (2) (somehow, Nintendo added difficulty absolutely PERFECTLY), good weapon levelling system (1) FUN GAMEPLAY (2), great graphics (1), and LOTS OF FUN PUZZLES (1). Cons: Weapons and shields break super fast (2), Too easy to defeat guardians as long of you have a shield (0.5). VERDICT: BotW was a very fun game. If you've been keeping track, you would know that the score is currently 9.5. 9.5 is rounded to 10, so, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Gets a 10 out of 10.    … Expand

    I have played 70 hours, completed 75/120 Shrines, found 78/900 korok seeds, saved 3/4 divine beasts and unlocked the entire map. I still haven't beat the game but that's because I'm waiting until I get all the shrines unlocked.

    Comparison to The Witcher 3:
    The Witcher 3 was the best Open-World game prior to BOTW because of its size, graphics, combat and story. I beat the game and started a second play through and have enjoyed every second of it. The big difference between The Witcher 3 and BOTW is the dialogue options, of course, but also the importance of main quests in each game. When playing the Witcher 3 it gives you recommendation character levels to beat each mission and completing certain ones can prevent you from completing others. This is as linear as the game will get but this simple thing will only allow a certain amount of quests one can complete while completing the game. In BOTW there are no recommended levels to complete quests making this game a pure non linear experience allowing the most freedom from any game previous. Another big comparison between the two are the map sizes because both are similar in map size but the BOTW FEELS way more massive. This has to do with the ability to climb and shrines. The mountains in the BOTW are no joke and you can plan to spend 10-20 min. climbing the big ones When you reach the top is the moment you feel the vastness of the map, which you can't find in other games. Both games also include horses but in BOTW you never really want to ride the horse because the game is better running/climbing around every nook and cranny.

    BOTW is for smart people ONLY:
    This game is filled with shrines, which require puzzle solving and physics combined, Korok seeds require quick thinking for some but mostly involve puzzles, most of the side and shrine quests are riddles and rarely show where to go, divine beasts are massive puzzles, etc. This is where I think the majority of the negative feedback is coming from because most people find the game too hard and blame it on the breaking of weapons, blah, blah.. This where weapon prioritizing comes in and is an important skill to learn throughout the game.

    The one negative thing:
    When completing side quests, the reward is usually a large rupee. I didn't have a problem with this at first but after a while I wish there was more variety. There is one side quest in the desert town Gerudo that I wish more side quests were like, *Thunder Hel.... *cough* because of it taking multiple side quests to complete. Rupee's in BOTW come very easily because of the items found throughout exploration so having them as a reward is a small letdown.

    Summary:
    I still have a lot more to do before I call it quits with BOTW and it's going to be a while before that happens. I have had multiple moments throughout the game where I just look at the atmosphere and just let out a "Wow!". The game is uniquely gorgeous and tests your curiosity like no other game before it. Go out there, buy a Switch and buy this game because you are missing out on one of the best gaming experiences in your lifetime.    … Expand

    This is a great game in almost every way, the only reason why I give it a 9 instead of a 10 is because the lack of underwater exploration. Loved that in previous Zelda games and I did find it disappointing and a little bit annoying that it was not a feature in Zelda - Breath of the Wild.

    BoTW its a nice game. I had a great time with it last holiday season, and i realy liked it. Thought it have many issues, such as backtracking, lack of any interesting quest, and not the best plotline ever, is still a nice game.
    But i would not play it again, would be boring. I hope the sequel can improve the formula and expand the universe created here.

    The game is just a big sandbox full of shrines (little puzzles) and reskinned enemies. As an open world game, it's just not on par even with mediocre games like Fallout 4. Also, it is very, but VERY far from being the best 3D Zelda because that would imply that this game is better than masterpieces like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, which is not.

    But after putting in many, many hours into this game I feel like I have earned the
    right to voice my complaints.

    Now, I don't think I have to spend too much time on the positives, as they've already
    been praised enough.
    This beautiful fantasy world really does feel more alive than in pretty much any game I've played before and the things you can do within this world are very engaging. In other words: The game really has a "feel", if you will. It has its own style and just walking around, interacting with the game world is fascinating.

    Exploration is rewarded (kinda) and there are tons of quests and secrets to be discovered. I'm just not sure if the rewards are worth the effort. More inventory space, a new weapon that will break after 10 hits or a health container - to me, that's not incredibly motivating. But maybe that's different for you.

    But here's the thing. All of this is in service of a story that is completely forgettable. And I think the problem lies in the fact, that most of the really interesting things in the story have already happened by the point Link wakes up and the player takes control. You effectively run around in a desolate world shaped by fascinating events, but you only ever learn of them through reading stuff, listening to characters talk about them and watching flashback sequences.
    The characters are all flat and there's no way to really form a bond with these cardboard cut outs.
    The central conflict in the flashbacks revolves around Princess Zelda's feelings of self-doubt, which could've been interesting if you, the player, were actively involved in that drama or affected by it. But it all happened in the past and so you just watch a spoiled princess whine about how she doesn't feel ready to take responsibility. Now, maybe it's because I'm a guy and my parents aren't royalty, but I really have a hard time empathizing with that. Not great storytelling, to be honest.

    My next big complaint is in regards to some of the game play mechanics. The game can make the simplest of tasks feel frustrating:

    Oh, you're trying to climb this mountain while your stamina keeps steadily decreasing? How about some rain, that'll make you slip and fall to your death?

    Oh, you could really use a horse to speed up travel right now? Well, tough sh*t - your horse needs to be within hearing distance - no really! - in order for it to come find you.

    You found this really cool weapon? Let's see just how quickly it'll break. Will it take 10 or 15 before it breaks? Find out in the next really tough battle!

    Now I, for one, don't think any of those mechanics are fun. I feel like they're wasting my time and they're frustrating. But I get it. The devs wanted to make this a realistic adventure experience.

    But this is where the biggest flaw of the game comes into play: a contradiction at the heart of this game that it never manages to overcome.

    So on the one hand, you have this living, breathing world and all those survival mechanics that make interacting with it feel meaningful. You can freeze to death if you don't wear warm (or magic) clothes, you have to tame horses before riding them and you have to cook food before it becomes really effective.

    But on the other hand, this game is trying to keep true to its roots, and so you still have heart containers, dungeons and all the Zelda things that long-time fans have come to expect.
    And since those elements all come from a time where games had technical limitations and game play took priority over immersion, they feel incredibly out of place in this fantasy world.

    The game never lets you feel completely immersed. Every time you pick up a floating heart container, every time you enter one of the - oof! - 120 puzzle shrines and every time you think for a second about how weird it is that the economy of this world runs on gems, you are reminded that you're playing a game. Because in all three of those cases, the explanation for why they chose to do things that way is: because that's part of the brand.

    And those two elements: "Zelda" the traditional franchise and "Zelda BotW" the modern game copying the latest trend of survival games never really mesh together and I am utterly convinced that a majority of people is blinded by their nostalgia to not see that.

    This is a good game. Maybe even a great game. But it's so far from being a master piece that I cannot take anyone seriously, who declares it as such. Saying this is ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER is, simply put, lowering the bar. And I don't think that's a good thing because we should ask for more.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game isn't great. If your playing it handheld and fight more than 2 enemies during any weather condition the framerate will die so hard the game completely freezes for 1-3 seconds every time you knock an enemy on it's back.
    Speaking of enemies, there are barely any variety with the majority just being recolors. This game could have definitely benefited from creating heavy types that you had to knock armor off of with shock arrows or specific weapon types.
    Tridents are completely pointless as weapons since they take 2 hands and can't knock away shields like greatswords. The biggest problem I had was THE MASTER SWORD IS WORTHLESS. It has terrible attack and is only useful against guardians and bosses and even when it powered up it's still not strong enough and can run out of energy while glowing.
    The sacred beast dungeons aren't even dungeons, they qualify more as large shrines. Hyrule Castle is the only true dungeon with more than 3 enemies in it. Also like the enemies every boss and miniboss barring Ganon are reused, the sacred beast bosses are just the same type of phantom Ganon with slight remodeling. Calamity Ganon himself was hugely disappointing since having done all 4 "dungeons" he was easier than a standard guardian.
    Finally the story or what little there is has very little of the standard Zelda points to it like Triforce anywhere. We also never find out why the Master Sword chose Link, He just got it because.

    Overall this game is empty, overhyped and overall forgettable. I could easily see all mention of Zelda lore being removed and it being packaged as another game. I doubt I'll ever come back to it now that I beat it and assume it will be the same for a lot of other people who played it. Probably the only thing I'll remember about this game is Prince Sidon and the quest to get into Gerudo town.    … Expand

There are 4 "divine beasts" that are dungeon like, however are so short they're beaten within 15m each or less. Epic boss fights? Again there are none. The bosses of the 4 dungeons and Gannon at the end are so stupid simple. Mash attack and win. Progression of tools to help you explore? Nope. No hook shot, no boomerang (there is one as a swd replacement you can throw but it's lackluster). Pretty much all your progression is just given to you at the start. You get 4 unlocks , once each for the divine beasts but they're minimal. ..... So... What DOES this game have? A bunch of armor sets that you upgrade through a boring gring fest. A giant world to explore. A bunch of boring sidequests. A tonne of "shrines" which are essentially "pieces of hearts" or stamina (running, climbing) but the shrines are 2-5m anicdotes which tease you. A giant, beautiful world to explore. I can't say how disappointed I am with this game. I wanted to love it sooooo much, but there is no challenge, no significant puzzels, no bosses, no emotional investment in the characters. It's such a let down because there is sooooo much potential here , but , as I already said, they focused so hard making this amazing world and making the game mechanics work, they forgot to make dungeons and bosses.… Expand

    You won't find random encounters in BOTW, aside from wandering and tedious ninjas who tries to kill you. Other annoying things are: breakable weapons, lack of the traditional Link's tunic, collectibles-tied slot expansion system (tied to 400+ hidden collectibles), lack of traditional dungeons replaced by soul-less shrines (which are hidden), lack of proper story, empty world, etc.

    Thing is, I planned on playing this game almost exclusively in handheld mode and when I did so yesterday, I noticed heavy aliasing, really heavy aliasing. I knew the screen was only 720p but I thought Nintendo would pack in some supersampling, but no, not at all. Because of that, it almost looks like a 3DS game in handheld mode, but with heavy flickering, something that personally distracts me heavily and can even lead to headaches.

    So I had to return my Switch with BotW just a few hours after having bought them. It is a shame, I would have loved to explore this world, but I currently have no tv for the Switch and handheld mode is unplayable. I wholeheartedly can say: The Switch sucks and it damages BotW badly, very badly. They had one year for this port, so it isn't just so bad because it was ported. Very sad quite a lot of reviewers didn't talk harsher about these dramatic issues, they were probably bought or never played in handheld.

    Alongside the hidden lack of anti-aliasing, there is the obvious low texture quality and frame drops. In the two hours I played this game I noticed one small freeze and definitely the low res textures. Render distance wasn't really an issue, but could be higher for more prettiness as well.

    The result is that the game is most likely very good, but also heavily hold back by bad Nintendo hardware. Especially texture quality and antialiasing have to be higher for a perfect score, maybe even the render distance. Because of these issues, I give BotW a 5/10, with the possibility for a 10/10 once they release this game on decent hardware.    … Expand

It's nothing but a Farcry/Darksouls mutation with a Zelda skin. After going through about 10 weapons in 10 minutes of gameplay you begin to wonder what where they thinking when they designed this?
    The after going to the 100th shrine wondering where is my reward? Oh, was it the rusty shield or the broadsword in the chest? Wait, but, that's going to break in a few hits.. I noticed a pattern here.. I've been grinding shrines/towers, and breaking weapons and all this time.. I have nothing to show for it.. Every once in awhile you will get a piece of armor that gives some resistance or swim speed or something to that effect, but they don't really help much.
    Oh and, don't bother trying to do the story from the start... get ready to grind shrines until you have a ton of spirit orbs to get more hearts and stamina or you will be having a heck of a time dying over and over again in the most frustrating ways.
    Many of the features in the game are just terrible.
    The breaking of weapons leaves you with the feeling of no rewards. No way to be attached to your gear and feel like you are progressing into a hero once again awoken from slumber.
    The stop time ability is very frustrating to line up your shots and using it will break your weapons and I have wasted many on it, and if you think you can use a tree branch to launch a stone ball 100 yrs think again.
    The controls seem clunky at times, having to quick switch weapons constantly during a fight or pause the game to eat, sometimes I wish they would have make a slot to put a healing item to just press it and heal instead of pausing, going to the food section then picking something the resuming. It just isn't very fluid and breaks combat. At times you will just die before you can get it paused and do the whole eating in the middle of a fight routine.
    The towers remind me too much of FarCry.. the repetitive cutscenes and grinding just got boring after the 10th tower and 40th shrine..
    Oh and did I mention the breaking of weapons? lol, They say you can parry a Guardians laser back at them and do damage.. what they don't tell you is it breaks your shield lol, so get ready to have a few shields broken fighting one.
    Many people have said they just avoid combat altogether because of this mechanic. I myself began doing this. The game became even more boring after that, just running from shrine to shrine, tower to tower, to get orbs to get more health because I was unable to do the story without grinding for hours.. it's a beautiful world that surrounds the Calamity Ganon of a game.    … Expand

    playing this and Horizon atm.. and all i can say is that even tho the story is somewhat good .. the graphics and mechanic feel so cheap and over used.. the game feels somewhat rushed,, and the (big) world feels empty.. such a waste of space. the puzzles in the dungeons are really simple (havent found any that took me more than half a minute to figure out) .. and even the explorationplaying this and Horizon atm.. and all i can say is that even tho the story is somewhat good .. the graphics and mechanic feel so cheap and over used.. the game feels somewhat rushed,, and the (big) world feels empty.. such a waste of space. the puzzles in the dungeons are really simple (havent found any that took me more than half a minute to figure out) .. and even the exploration mechanic in the open world are all things that have been done before .. (except the shield slide...) .. and the world is big... sadly it feels mostly empty .. there are enemies scatters about (even tho i feel i keep fighting the same 20 enemy types over and over again, im only 6 hrs into the game so mebe further along ill see more variety).

    It is a good game.. but it feels like it belongs in the last gen .. im pretty sure i could play it (eevn if with lowered graphics) on my tablet.

    Recomendation: play it and judge yourself , the game isnt bad.. but a lot of people are giving it more merit that it deserves just because is Zelda and from nintendo, If you got a Wii try it rigth away just dont go and buy a switch just for the game (i did.. now i got a switch with a scratched screen.. from the dock!.. it should have come with a screen protector imho) .. if you do get the switch then be ware you have to buy the screen protector and a case.. that plastic is kinda delicate.    … Expand

    The user score in this website is useless.

It´s funny that when you look into some of the profiles which are posting reviews, many of the guys who are giving this a 0, have given a 10 to Horizon Zero Dawn and the other way around. It seems like this is some kind of fanboy wars, with each trying to prove their respective console is better.

    The only thing you achieve by this is not helping people like me, who come to this website in order to get an idea of how good a game is, and end up mad because they realize most of the reviews are not trustworthy or honest. It really sucks.    … Expand

    I don't know if gutting a tightly knit story was worth it for a sandbox/survival experience. It was boring. My guess is nintendo fans have never touched a sandbox game before so its fresh for them, but these are old game mechanics that already lead to a repetitive experience. Its a vast world that will be forgotten.

    I am going to try to be fair & objective.

    The game was build so that you could go anywhere & complete most things in the order that you want but because of that Nintendo made sacrifices. Discovery is no longer about collecting items to help you puzzle solve & transverse the world… now the discovery is about places in the world & limited treasure. This is what really splits a lot of players here. Some LOVE the fact that they can explore the HUGE world while people like me feel that quantity does not compensate for the quality needed in storytelling, puzzles, non-disposable treasures of value, & meaningful connection to the characters in the world. Travelling the world has become tedious work, battles become too boring, treasures found become disposable objects that you will quickly forget about & the few puzzles presented are way too easy.

    GAMEPLAY: 6/10
    Battles enemies starts out interesting seem fun for about the first 16 hours of game play but they quickly become a tedious chore. There is a huge lack of enemies. To substitute for the lack of AI depth the tougher battles try to overwhelm you with high numbers of enemies OR bigger enemies. After you fight the same enemy types for a long period of time it just gets old really quickly & you learn that they really will not catch you if you run away anyway.

    You basically get all the special equipment you need to traverse the land at the beginning of the game so you are not longer earning equipment & puzzle solving you way into new discovers. You will no longer feel like you earned items because they are all given to you towards the beginning of the game. Discovery is no longer about collecting items to help you puzzle solve & transverse the world… now it is about discovering what is in the world. As a result, the items tend to be disposable weapons, armor, & endless amount of food ingredients. This keeps with the theme of quantity over quality. You find a lot but most of what you find is disposable junk that limits your sense of accomplishment.

    There are only Main 4 dungeons. I love how you are able to alter the environment in a creative way but when it comes down to it they are all too short & easy to beat. The game tried to compensate by having puzzled based dungeons in the form of overly simplified & too easy to beat Shrines.

    Weapons in this game are all unique & fun to use but are ultimately terribly balanced in many ways. It is so fun to be able to use spears, swords, & clubs that all have a different feel but they quickly become repetitive. The worst part about the weapons is that they all seem to break way too easily (averaging about 1 break per a battling a horde of 5 enemies). Each weapon has its own damage output status which causes a lot of problems by making battles way to easy towards the end of the game. In fact, you can beat some bosses so quickly that you will become disappointed. I felt cheated out of having any sense of accomplishment out of what should have been considered an epic battle.
    The stamina meter was horribly balanced & is poorly used which makes travelling a chore & less fun. The world is so big & the speed you move is so slow. Stamina is used for running, climbing, gliding & fighting. Running depletes the meter too quickly Climbing stamina depletion, in terms of distance/stamina bar is balanced, however the game speed at which Link climbs is too SLOW it becomes the worst part of the game. Gliding was well-balanced & a real treat.

    STORY 1/10
    It seems like every Zelda has the same basic never changing premise where you have to stop some main enemy/evil who has kidnapped “guess who” for ambiguous poorly explained reasons.

    The voice acting in this game is decent to good but is not utilized to its fullest potential. The game alternates between voice acting & reading dialogue of characters. I want to note that it is 2017, this is a triple A title, there is no excuse for why this game is not completely voice acted.

    The characters you run into & meet visually stunning but ultimately lack depth needed to be memorable. I appreciate that Link is still a blank slate for the player to psychologically project their own being onto. All other characters lack any real depth needed to tell a great story & are quickly reduced to stereotypes & plot devices or tools to obtain items or fragments of what should be a plot. I demand a plot, realistic characters, & something thought-provoking. I would even be satisfied with something artistic & kiddy like Lego Batman as long as there was something deeper to what is presented.

    GRAPHICS: 10/10

    MUSIC: 10/10

    The stellar reviews really do not accurately portray the game. While it is a good game at its core, it is missing a lot that previous Zelda games had, most notably a memorable soundtrack.

Gone are the tunes that we'll forever remember from OOT and Majora's Mask, they have been replaced with completely forgettable ambiance. The game is also incredibly open ended with no sense of objective or urgency. Whether you do anything or nothing at all, the game's world seems indifferent to your presence. While this is on par with most open world games, it seems out of place in a Zelda game.

    I would liken this to Skyrim with a Zelda skin, rather than an actual Zelda game.    … 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.

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