I get that the climbing mechanic is amazing but that's about it. It's basically the same story you see from every Zelda game but with 4 dungeons and a few dozen mini dungeons which get repetitive and feel like time wasters. Those 4 dungeons are fantastic but that's all their is. If that's not bad enough the weapons break after a few hits causing you to find another branch or club. The only thing in this game that's truly great is the traversal but with so few actual dungeons you basically doing the usual Nintendo trope of finding little collectibles in this case nuts. I dont think it's a bad game but absolutely don't think it's the best game ever made either. It's another game where Nintendo gets a free pass and stuff that gets points taken off from others games gets ignored in their games. My first console was Nintendo too but eventually they have to be told the truth which is that if you keep using the same story over and over that it gets boring and repetitive. I am sorry. I love Nintendo but it's true.… Expand

Go anywhere, do anything, and experiment with anything and everything. You can't walk 10 feet without tripping over things to do in this game.

    If the inevitable sequel can ditch the awful weapon degradation mechanic, add some full dungeons to explore, and allow you to climb when it's raining instead of waiting around for five minutes until the skies clear, then it will have the potential to be something truly special.    … Expand

    I'm not that kind of a fan of Zelda (I mean, I don't know that much about the series), but seriously, it's awesome, the graphics, story, gameplay... And also the DLCs, everything is enjoyable in this game. The only thing I didn't really like is the FPS drops on one of the scenarios. Not specifying which to avoid spoilers.

They did a good number of things right, combat is entertaining, exploring the world is great, there are numerous ways to travel at various speeds both intended and otherwise, the abilities and weapons have a lot of variety. The shrines have a number of unique puzzles.

    Unfortunately, they did a hell of a lot wrong too.

    They put weather that makes climbing impossible, that occasionally lasts for multiple straight days in game (two hours + real time where you're locked out of multiple game mechanics for literally no reason), in a game where 80% of your time early game is spent trying to climb things. Resting doesn't even always clear it, even if there was somewhere to reast nearby. Late game, you don't have to worry about it at all. This entire concept serves no legitimate purpose, it's an annoyance and a needless waste of time early game, and entirely pointless late game. Utter waste of time continuously fast traveling back and forth to rest repeatedly 2-10 times to clear rain so you can travel upward five feet.

    Durability. Makes. No. Sense.
    Seriously. The implementation is absolute garbage. "This weapon has low durability". So why is it in the game? To waste inventory space? Nobody is ever going to use it, partly because there's no indication of how much durability is left a la literally any game that's ever had a durability system, and partly because nobody is ever going to use anything with durability after they get the master sword because there's no durability indicators. "But muh weapon diversity". Congratulations. You made me use five different sticks to kill one enemy. "Diversity".

    Motion control shrines are a horrible idea horribly implemented that are mostly just cheesed because the intended implementation was a complete failure.

    It's a decent game. But it's not a good *Zelda* game.    … Expand

    Link literally woke up with no memory, saw a creepy castle and an old man explained everything in such an oversimplified way and Zelda only told him to help her and save Hyrule yet Link STILL listened and helped. No **** questions he just knew what was right and what was wrong. I'm writing this at 12 AM so I probably worded this horribly- JUST BUT THE GAME

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zelda Breath of the Wild é a experiência definitiva do que é jogar um jogo de mundo aberto. Após a revolução do Ocarina of Time, o qual criou o target e inspirou tantos outros games 3D que vieram depois, Breath of the Wild levou ao extremo o que significa liberdade na gameplay. Neste game você pode fazer absolutamente o que quiser, a hora que quiser e quando quiser. Se seu intuito ao começar o game é enfrentar diretamente o last boss, o jogo te permite, mesmo se tornando um imenso desafio, sendo que também é possível passar pelas shrines e dungeons na ordem que preferir. A liberdade é tão grande, que nos praticamente 75 km de mapa você pode ir literalmente até onde a sua vista alcança, não existem paredes invisíveis no game, se avistar uma montanha distante ao horizonte e se atrever a ir lá, o jogo vai permitir a aventura, e se prepare pois ele irá te surpreender e te recompensar pela sua ousadia em se aventurar no seu vasto universo. Tenho 32 anos, nasci em 1990 e jogo desde então, passando por super nintendo, ps1, dreamcast, xbox, xbox 360 e playstation 04, até os dias atuais nenhum jogo fez o que Zelda Breath of the Wild alcançou, você é o heroi, você molda o mundo seguindo a sua história. O jogo não te direciona, não identifica no mapa aonde deve ir, apenas siga seus instintos. O fator replay é infinito, existem modos mais difíceis com as dlcs para aqueles que gostam de mais desafios. A história é contada por meio de flashes de 100 anos atrás, onde o herói foi desacordado por um longo período de tempo e apenas fragmentos da sua memória são revelados até o desfecho final contra o Ganon da calamidade que foi selado junto com a princesa Zelda no castelo, se sacricando para que, após 100 anos, você finalmente consiga trazer luz para o mundo como o herói do tempo em Ocarina of Time fez CERCA DE 10 mil anos atrás. Nada mais a falar, jogo nota 10 de 10 em todos os quesitos, reconhecido como o melhor de todos os tempos numa lista de 100 pela IGN, revolucionou um gênero que já estava definido, ganhou game of the year de 2017 enfrentando jogos como Mario Odyssey, Persona 05 Horizon Zero Dawn. O incomparável, ícone de um legado antigo que soube novamente se reinventar, o extraordinário Zelda Breath of the Wild, o game que me fez ter vontade de comprar um Nintendo Switch apenas para jogá-lo, o melhor jogo de todos os tempos, não perca essa aventura pois como o jogo diz, you Born to be Wild.… Expand

    no joke the whole game is perfect in every aspect.

    But one thing I feel like I need to write somewhere is that I find the story insanely underrated, sure it's mostly in the background but when you actually pay attention to everything in order it can be some pretty heavy and powerful stuff especially when it comes to this iteration of Zelda.

    FULL REVIEW:
    The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s biggest and most successful franchises, second behind Mario. Shigeru Miyamoto may have been behind the beginning stages of both franchises. However, he helped to make sure they were different from each other before handing the Zelda franchise over to Eiji Aonuma. Where 1986’s Super Mario Bros. was a side-scrolling platformer, 1986’s The Legend of Zelda included an action-adventure overworld. Zelda II may have included side-scrolling while battling enemies, but the overworld became a mainstay, even to this day. The Zelda franchise has tried many other gameplay and narrative styles across multiple consoles and handhelds. However, everyone, including Nintendo, knew there was something special about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upon its announcement in 2013.

    Upon entering the game’s world, players discover the grim reality Link lives in: they’ve lost. Link, Zelda, and the four Divine Beast Champions fell to the all-powerful Calamity Ganon, causing Link to fall asleep for one hundred years. As Link discovers throughout the game’s captured memories, players learn more about the Champions and the dynamic between the heroic group before Hyrule fell to Ganon. Zelda fails to unlock her sealing abilities in time despite her father, King Rhoam’s, best efforts to help her. The Champions fail to overpower Calamity Ganon with their Divine Beasts. Hyrule fails to understand the uncontrollable power of Sheikah technology. Everyone fails and loses before the game’s narrative begins, making Link’s destined quest to defeat Ganon all the more urgent and emotional.

    Luckily for Link and players, Hyrule retains many tribes and villages after the fall of King Rhoam and Hyrule Castle. Hyrule also offers dozens of shrines awakened by Sheikah technology for Link and players to explore. The amount of quests, puzzles, and locations to discover makes players feel small amidst a living world. Curiosity often overpowers people, making exploration in an open world like Breath of the Wild a true adventure, regardless of the hundreds of quests offered to players. Players can even move straight onto fighting Ganon, bolstering the game’s freedom of choice. Nothing is required of the player to complete the game other than beating Calamity Ganon, making Breath of the Wild the game it is today.

    As the world ventures away from the game, many of today’s games, like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Genshin Impact, and Immortals Fenyx Rising, try their hardest to replicate its success. However, the combination of Breath of the Wild’s exploratory adventure and the world Link and players reside in creates a once-in-a-generation experience no other game achieves. It is the quintessential open-world title–a near-perfect video game worth the four-year wait between 2013 and 2017. From 1986 to now, the Zelda franchise has been the yin to the Mario franchise’s yang. The ladder offers a more casual and status-quo adventure, and the former offers genre-bending experiences for those willing to take risks.    … Expand

    Je peux continuer comme ça longtemps, dans les idées c'est pas si mal alors pourquoi le jeu est aussi.. MEH ?

    Enough has been said about the game! I just came to say +1 to how you need to play it, even if it is not your kind of game. If you have an open mindset you will surely enjoy it! For me it has the best open world experience of any game, it was the first time I would just roam around Hyrule and just enjoyed exploring every part of the map.

The open world is brilliant and profound. The writing is amazing, with great characters and a narrative that you can look deeper into if you want, reading everyone's journals and unlocking Link's memories, or almost entirely skip over, and just have a blast in the amazing world Nintendo has crafted with this game. The art style is gorgeous. (just look at that grass!) The combat is deep and satisfying. Boss fights are engaging. An astounding amount of player creativity is available. Game structure is incredible. I'm not even a huge fan of open-world games, but this game absolutely took me. And it lives up to its name: it truly feels like a breath of the wild.

    10/10. If you were hesitating on buying this game because you aren't a huge open-world or Zelda fan, don't. This game is a masterpiece and you should play it now.    … Expand

The weapons and equipment are very fun to use, and there are so many places to explore and people to speak speak with. The game is very lively and the art style is fantastic. The only issue I have is that the shrines and koroks are very repetitive. I think they could be more creative, and instead of many little puzzles, I believe bigger, more dungeon-like areas. Other than that, the game is amazing. The combat is some of the best I have ever seen in a video game before, and it feels very rewarding to fight bigger and better monsters and receive a multitude of different weapons to do it with. The bosses and divine beasts are very creative, and the vast amount of armor and outfits are amazing, not only because of the armor aspect, but they look beautiful and very detailed. Finally, the story, which isn't a huge part of the game, and is sort of light, if you look into it, it is very beautifully put together and fits perfectly with Link losing his memories. I just hope that Nintendo can fit the same experience they gave us with this game into Tears of the Kingdom. Keep it up, Nintendo.… Expand

    The story is excellent and stays true to the core Zelda formula: you are Link and your job is to beat the big bad, and you'll use all sorts of crazy tools and lore objects to forge a path through the world to reach your objective.

Breath of the Wild severely lacks that. heck, even Ocarina of Time, a game from 1998, has more stuff to do outside of the main game, with more interesting fetch quests in my opinion (and OOT isn't even my favorite Zelda game).

    the controls aren't perfect, and they had to kind of grow on me. i absolutely hated them at first, but now i think they're fine. the weapon breaking mechanic, although criticized by many, is really interesting in my opinion, as it forces you to improvise and make the most out of the limited resources you get. same goes for cooking. and i don't mind the soundtrack (or mostly lack thereof), as it perfectly fits in with the atmosphere of the game

    anyway, if the open world was more fleshed out, i think this game would be deserving of its 97 average score, and in my opinion, user reviews of this game severely lack nuance by overlooking the pros or cons of this game to give it a 0 or a 10, the latter being the most common. i'm kind of tired of seeing everyone praise this game like it has no flaws and call it "perfect" (and spoiler alert: making a perfect game is literally impossible)    … Expand
