    I love this game so much! A huge open world, good graphic for an Nintendo game, details and very good story(in the DLC to). But for the fact that you prepare for it for a long time, the final boss is way too easy.

    BOTW is a very good game that suffers due to people overhyping. It is not the greatest game ever but it is a good game.

    The greatest just got greater. Honestly stunned at how amazing this game is. So much to do. It is always wowing you with some new area or boss. Exploring is fantastic and you are never short of things to do.

Again, it's a great game, it's just an awful Zelda game.… Expand

    This is my favorite Zelda game to date. The style of the game is great and the world really feels like a battered and broken Hyrule. The characters you run into are funny and charismatic. There were tons of hidden mechanics in the game that I loved finding out about like the ability to warm yourself in cold temps by equipping red hot fire weapons.

The characters you run into are funny and charismatic. There were tons of hidden mechanics in the game that I loved finding out about like the ability to warm yourself in cold temps by equipping red hot fire weapons. There is so much to like about the game and there is a big emphasis on exploration and creativity.

    With that said, the reason I didn't give this game a perfect score is because there were so aspects of the game that I was not the biggest fan of. One of the biggest complaints that people have with this game was the weapon durability. I never really had an issue with this mechanic until I played on hero mode. I basically took a couple of weapons per enemy and it got to the point where I was using cheese strats to deal with enemies because it was more efficient. Another issue I had was with the enemy/dungeon variety. It was cool to see the classic Zelda enemies rendered in modern hardware but it sucked that there were only 6-7 enemy types and just recolored versions of them. I wasn't too excited for the DLC and I don't think it made the experience too much better.

    For being one of the first games on the switch, let alone the first Zelda entry on the Switch, it was a really good entry into the franchise. I am excited to see what they have in store for future entries and hope that they improve on the system/world that they have already built.    … Expand

    absolutely the greatest video game of all TIME!!!!! The graphics are outstanding, the open world always has something new to discover even after 500 hours, the story is very good and depressing, and the combat is amazing, the physics are hilarious especially when tossing Link down mountains.

    I recommend this game to anyone who owns a Nintendo Switch and/or Wii U.

    10/10 best game ever!!

Visualmente se ve bastante bien, no necesita ser un portento grafico ya que el apartado artístico hace que se vea hermoso. Argumentalmente es bastante ambiguo pero es interesante el ver como Link se encuentra en un escenario 100 años después de que hayan perdido contra Ganondorf. Lo que mas destaca en este juego es el gameplay, como este va evolucionando de manera orgánica mientras avanzas por el escenario y como puedes interactuar con prácticamente todo. En el juego puedes avanzar a tu gusto y en el orden que desees, si quieres vencer a ganondorf desde el principio puedes hacerlo, si quieres hacerlo después de tener el 100% puedes hacerlo, es espectacular en este apartado. La música es en su mayoría ambiental pero funciona por el tipo de juego que es.
    En conclusión una completa obra maestra, de esos juegos que innovan y hacen que cambien todos tus estándares de lo que puede ser un videojuego.    … Expand

    The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is easily one of the best games of all time. I highly recommend it if you like Mario, Xenoblade, Deaths Door, Genshin Impact, and Undertale. The puzzles in it are very entertaining and fun. The boss fights are the perfect amount of difficulty for a 10 year old. I would say this is one of the greatest Nintendo games of all time.

I don't care, this is my favorite game ever created. The world itself is alive with so much to see and do, I've never experienced a game where the world itself begs the player to explore and simply discovering new places is so intrinsically rewarding. When I think of beauty in videogames I think of Breath of the Wild. When I think of the essence of discovery in videogames I think of Breath of the Wild. When I think of what it means to experience child-like wonder I think of Breath of the Wild. This is the single player game I have the most time in, with over 250 hours and multiple game completions, yet I still haven't experienced everything this game has to offer, and I probably never will. I can only hope that BOTW 2 comes within a mile of this masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is great. Just plain and Simple its great. the gameplay is great, and the bosses while similar feel different enough that they don't feel the same. the divine beasts while not the greatest Zelda dungeons are pretty good. they strike the perfect balance of not a cakewalk but not so hard you just look at a guide in frustration. the graphics are great the art style is unique and gorgeous. the amount of little things to find and do in this game make it feel endless. Breath of the wild is great because of how you can play how you want, if you want to do all the divine beasts get all the memory's do every shrine and quest and all the korok seeds etc.. (you see why the game feels endless?) or do nothing of that and make your fun in the wild, its in the name after all Breath of the WILD. you can go mess around with the physics of the game when you get bored. you can nitpick it all you want but i bet your favorite can be nitpicked to death aswell. no game is perfect for everybody but this feels the best "real game" for anybody due to being able to do whatever it you want and make your own fun. the only "main" cons i can think about is weapon breaking and the story not being huge but weapon breaking never felt annoying it made it feel like you had to strategize a little bit for the "perfect playthrough" but there was always ways to get most good items back or get better ones. for the story its a double sided blade you make the story more prominent but loss a little of the "no rules, make your own fun" mentality of the game and the story itself is not bad it just not a 4 hour directors cut of the worlds best movie type of story. this game is great to the point that it overcame nostalgia to beat out Mario galaxy as my favorite game of all time. no game is perfect but if any is the closest Breath of the wild is.… Expand

    El mejor juego de mundo abierto. The legend of zelda breath of the wild es un mundo lleno de vida, interactivo, enorme y con grandes secretos por descubrir.

    Este es el mejor juego que he jugado, tiene un gameplay perfecto, animaciones perfectas, interacción con todos los elementos del mundo, música perfecta y muchas horas de contenido.

    An open world game where the world doesn’t feel empty and there’s always new things to discover everywhere in then world. My only problem with this game is that the shrines get repetitive and always knowing what you’re going to get from them takes away from the enjoyment of exploring.

    As my first experience with the Zelda franchise, I was certainly not left disappointed. The stark contrast between botw and other Nintendo ips help to create a hook that consistently draws you back into the experience.

    The game is incredibly mean-spirited and frustrating. The combat is basic and link has very few avoidance mechanics, leaving him standing there, dumbly unable to get out of the way of an instakill swipe from a early-game bokoblins. You are beset by mobs and then skeletons spawn from the ground to make it worst, you are then backed into a corner as the camera is pushed, dark-souls-like, into the back of link's head as he auto attaches to the wall, leaving you wondering why you can't do anything as an enemy kills you in one strike. The starting stamina is atrocious and is too slow to come back. Link doesn't simply move to where you want him to, but he does a little semi-circle circuitous move that punts you off of cliffs and makes it impossible to get onto ladders. All of this stuff came from skyward sword - the worst Zelda game.

    I used to think that they could improve all of this for the next Zelda game. I now know different. Screw you, Nintendo!    … Expand

I love exploring the world as there's so much to do, the game wants you to explore and basically find out stuff on your own by exploring its vast world. Compared to all other zelda games this one is a very slow paced game and that's why some people don't like it. I like the shrines since most of them have different puzzles and you get rewarded for completing them. Enemies are hard and you will die a lot in this game but I like a challenge, it feels satisfying when you finnaly beat a boss that took lost of time to beat. I love the game but there are stuff I don't like like how fast weapons break, I understand rusty weapons but other weapons break too fast, kind of the only flaw with the game in my opinion. Otherwise its a 10/10 for me… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The open-world adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is genuinely revolutionary and has raised the bar for similar titles. Breath of the Wild, a video game created and released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U consoles, has garnered numerous honors and awards since its debut in 2017. These awards and recognitions include Game of the Year at The Game Awards and multiple Game of the Year awards from different publications.

    As Link, the main character of the Legend of Zelda series awakens from a 100-year nap to a world that has been altered by an enigmatic force known as the Calamity Ganon, you take control of him in Breath of the Wild. You discover the mysteries of the past and find the strength required to finally destroy Calamity Ganon as you traverse the game's expansive and gorgeously rendered land of Hyrule.

    The open-world concept of Breath of the Wild, which lets you explore and learn at your own speed, is one of its most stunning features. A variety of settings, including lush woods, snow-capped mountains, parched deserts, and perilous swamps, may be found throughout the game's wide, spreading landscape. The game's dynamic weather system and day-night cycle further enhance the richness and realism of the world, which is filled with secrets and hidden treasures to be discovered in each location.

    However, Breath of the Wild's impressiveness extends beyond only its setting to the ways in which you can engage with it. The game features a variety of novel gameplay elements, such as the capacity to climb virtually any surface and the capacity to solve puzzles based on physics. The game encourages experimentation and exploration while allowing you to tackle difficulties in a variety of inventive ways thanks to these mechanisms.

    Breath of the Wild offers a plethora of side quests and mini-games in addition to the main quest. These range from preparing meals and making remedies to racing other players and taking part in archery competitions. You can gather materials and make your own weapons, armor, and other equipment using the game's complex crafting system.

    The combat system in Breath of the Wild is one of the game's most notable aspects since it is intricate and difficult. The game adds a number of new tools and skills, such as the capacity to parry and block enemy blows as well as perform elemental attacks. The game's AI for the adversaries is also very sophisticated, and they react differently based on the time of day and where you are.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open-world adventure game that, all things considered, is incredibly impressive and raises the bar. Its expansive and exquisitely detailed universe, cutting-edge gameplay elements, and intricate combat system all work together to provide for an absolutely remarkable gaming experience. Breath of the Wild is a must-play whether you love open-world adventure games in general or the Legend of Zelda franchise in particular.    … Expand

Back then I liked playing video games, yes, but it was just something to pass the time. This game was the first time I was ever truly immersed into a fictional world, and it led me down the path to becoming who I am today. I would never have discovered my passion for the medium of video games if not for Breath of The Wild. I would never have met some of my closest friends if not for Breath of The Wild. Three are so many facets of myself and my personality that I discovered because of my time playing this game. It has such an incredible soundtrack that's minimalistic and tries to stay out of the way of the sounds of the world. It has beautiful graphics and art direction, and incredible UI. It has a rich world that's rewarding to explore from head to toe. It has a fun combat system that encourages players to not only upgrade their gear, but learn how to employ advanced techniques like parrying or flurry rushing to speed along tough battles. The game is pure, unadulterated, fun. Of course, video games are art, and people will never be able to come to unanimous decisions on it. As well as this, the game is not perfect. It would benefit greatly from a stronger narrative, and better performance. Yet, these issues mean nothing to me when I'm running, or swimming, or climbing, or riding, or even warping my way around the vast and enthralling world of Hyrule. I will always love this game no matter what happens. Because this is one of the few games that I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, changed my life.… Expand

Soon after however, you really begin to enjoy and discover the open world and appreciate the effort developers put into this. BUT, eventually it begins to feel like a chore and you start to burn out. It becomes tiring to search for temples, tiring to collect additional heart and stamina containers, or increase inventory space, or replace weapons, or changing armour for weather or enemy type, or upgrading clothes or weapons. I found myself collecting all these for the sake of doing it, not for the fun of it.

    I would have rated this game a 6 for the first 3 hours, and then a 10 for the next 20 hours, and eventually settle at 8 overall for what should be called Zelda Chores in the Wild.

    It has many issues which people who are very critical of it are quick to point out. The combat has issues like the weapon breaking system and very imbalanced late game scaling, the story is lacking and told in a boring way, the dungeons and bosses are disappointing, the materials you get are generally not that useful, etc.
    The thing is, none of those really matter, because they aren't bad enough that they ruin the things that are good about the game. The story is lacking but it has a cool premise and isn't that important to the gameplay. The combat has severe flaws but all of its core aspects are still fun and control well. The divine beasts and blights are disappointing compared to past dungeons/bosses, but the shrines and overworld bosses serve as replacements that fit better in the open world context. The game has many flaws but none of them are crippling.
    And what the game does well is more than enough to make up for these excusable flaws. It has some of the best presentation and atmosphere in any game, period. Which I do not say lightly. The artstyle is undoubtedly beautiful, and that gets all the appreciation it deserves. The game looks incredible even on more limited hardware because the devs didn't try to make something hyper-realistic, they just made a cell shaded style that looks really pretty. Strong art direction matters more than pure graphical fidelity in most cases. There was also immense care put into details and animations of everything from Link to enemies to the environment to make it all believable (for example details like Link's visible breath in cold areas as a basic one. Details like these are everywhere when you pay attention and contribute greatly to immersion.)
    The audio design is just as strong. The music is slightly contentious, but I think the criticism is largely unwarranted. I agree that the overworld themes on their own aren't great pieces of music, but it's important to remember that they should be judged in-context. The context is a game that's trying a great deal to bring to life the atmosphere of its world and also has incredibly detailed audio work put into the environment. The ambient music with long rests isn't for no reason, it's to give a chance for the sounds of nature to shine. (to allow for the "Breath of the Wild"). Those long rests also convey a feeling of loneliness better than anything more involved ever could. And apart from those, the music is all pretty good. Town themes have great atmosphere, boss themes are exciting, etc.
    The audio and visual design of this game are what makes it a work of art, and show that presentation is important. The incredible presentation of this Hyrule are what make it a compelling world that players want to explore, because being in a game world that is beautiful, immersive, and atmospheric makes that game world feel good to be in.
    So what matters then is how the game lets you view the beautiful world it creates. Which it does by giving the player complete freedom in exploration. This is one of few games that seems to be open world because it's actually part of the intended experience, rather than just for the sake of it. The game doesn't try to railroad you into any of its content because it doesn't need to. It takes almost all markers off the mini map and permits you to go wherever. Which plays off of the captivating environments. You see something in the distance, think "ooh, I want to go there", and inevitably find plenty of things from Koroks to shrines along the way. Even if the stuff you find gets repetitive, it doesn't really feel that way, because the exploration is player driven. If you find something that you aren't interested in, you can always choose to ignore it and just go to wherever your destination originally was. This is also where the map's size helps, because it isn't just an arbitrary talking point. The vastness of the world gives the player more to see in the distance and want to explore.
    This game is truly a magical experience on a first playthrough. The presentation makes the game world beautiful, and the freedom it gives means you never have to do anything if you don't want to. That combined with the complete lack of knowledge you'll have on a blind playthrough makes that first experience amazing. You can wander around, not knowing where you're going, and what's different about this game is- that's fine. There's nowhere that you need to be, only wherever you want to be.    … Expand
