    This game is the best game to ever exist. It isn‘t that story based like other games from the franchise, but I don‘t really care. The story of the game is basically you discovering Hyrule. Can‘t wait until Tears of the Kingdom comes out.

Considero que este probablemente haya sido uno de los juegos que más e podido disfrutar y eso es decir mucho. La verdad que intentar transmitir lo que a supuesto este juego para mi es muy Difícil de explicar, por que trato de buscar una razón para explicarme por que me resulta tan buen juego y me cuesta dar con el motivo principal lo primero que se me viene a la mente es su mundo. hoy en día la mayoría de los juegos de mundo abierto están establecidos de una manera que resultan visualmente atractivos pero que resultan estar vacíos y muchas veces ni siquiera te dan la oportunidad de interactuar con el medio y con los Personajes que lo componen, por desgracia a día de hoy este esquema de ir de 1 punto a otro punto para realizar 1 misión sigue prevaleciendo. Yo considero que al ser un juego de mundo abierto esa linealidad de las misiones mata la esencia de lo que un juego de mundo abierto debería ser. Por eso elogió tanto el trabajo de este juego “Zelda Bretaña of the Wild” por que a logrado hacer un mundo donde puedas elegir adónde quieres ir lo que quieres hacer en el orden que quieres hacerlo y todo ello de una forma muy sinérgica con el mundo en el que te encuentras, con unas bases jugables muy sólidas y con diferentes maneras de poder afrontan los problemas. La banda sonora también ayuda sumergirte dentro del propio juego. Creo que la peor parte del juego han sido los santuarios que a diferencia de los demás santuarios de la saga estos visualmente son todos iguales, muestra una falta de carisma y las bestias de Ganon más de lo mismo no tienen personalidad. Aunque es entendible que al hacer un juego tan ambicioso no se pudiese hacer todo perfecto. Las bestias divinas y la historía de los campeones son muy interesantes, me gusta mucho que cada pueblo se sienta muy diferente entre ellos y también el respeto y afecto que tienen cada pueblo a sus campeones. Otro factor muy guay es entender como les afectan cada bestia divina a sus pueblos, por ejemplo los Zora necesitan ayuda para detener a Vah Ruta por que si se destruye la presa no solo supondrá una catástrofe para su pueblo si no que repercutirá en todo Hirule inundándolo lo mismo con las gerudos y la tormenta de arena etc…… Expand

    Not a Zelda game but still fun.

    Reasons why:

    1. No dungeons

    2.Bad story. Doesn't motivate you to want to progress

    3.lack of enemy verity

    4.weapon durability

    Other than that it's a pretty fun as a game by itself but as a Zelda game it's disappointing.

    Sadly Nintendo is going to follow the open world trend.

    Breath of the wild has bad dungeons, bad object(i mean the Leapfrog gadget) and doesn't feel like a zelda.

    The game features a vast array of diverse environments, ranging from lush forests to snow-capped mountains to scorching deserts, each with its own unique creatures and challenges to overcome. The attention to detail is simply astounding, and it's clear that the developers put a tremendous amount of care and effort into creating a world that feels truly alive.

    One of the most impressive aspects of Breath of the Wild is its sense of freedom and exploration.

You are free to climb any mountain, swim across any river, and explore any nook and cranny you come across. This sense of freedom is incredibly empowering and makes the game feel like a true adventure.

    Another standout feature of the game is its combat system. Battles are intense, strategic affairs that require you to think on your feet and make use of a wide variety of weapons and abilities. Whether you prefer to sneak around and take out enemies from afar or charge headfirst into battle with a sword and shield, there are countless ways to approach each encounter.

    Fantástico!!! Jogo começa devagar, porém você tem a oportunidade de aprender tudo sem pressa, explorar o mundo vasto sem uma IA chata te obrigando a fazer algo.

    It's the first true open world game it brings a totally new style.
    Encouragement of exploration through the environment all being different and having many collectables within with mini puzzles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego se filtró hace casi dos semanas, le he dedicado bastantes horas como para decirl lo siguiente.

    Reciclado de animaciones, ropa, armas, misma historia de los buenos son muy buenos y los malos muy malos, historia y personajes muy planos que es obvio porque al final es para todos los públicos y solo cambian cuatro mecánicas, el resto es lo mismo que cualquier mundo abierto, atalayas, campamentos enemigos, tesoros, bosses por zona, vamos como si jugará un far cry, hace unos años sería un boom, hoy es un juego de mundo abierto más, pero como es Zelda y Nintendo pues...

    Igualmente está entretenido    … Expand

    Decent enough game but I don't get the hype.
    Everyone tells me about how ground breaking it is but there wasn't anything there I hadn't seen before. I guess a slick coat of Nintendo is all it takes.

    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida.
    Único ponto a ser melhorado é a dificuldade dos Boss, por ser um mundo aberto onde pode enfrentar eles em qualquer ordem, deixa um pouco menos desafiador.

E um jogo bem divertido...mas está com péssimo desempenho no switch, chegado há rodar abaixo de 20fps (e chega ha atrapalhar em algumas partes do game), até onde eu joguei grande parte do mapa do game é o mesmo do zelda anterior, é os gráficos estão praticamente o mesmo do jogo anterior, evoluiu muito pouco neste aspecto!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The legend of Zelda breath of the wild is an incredibly delicate and delightfully crafted game filled with adventure emotions and exploration. You get to create your own adventure. There are many things that you can do after you finish the story or do everything before you finish the story. There are 120 shrines, 900 koroks and many side quests to do. You have to figure out the story slowly by collecting memories and the game ends by rescuing Zelda form the cage of calamity Ganon. The dlc is also very good. The master trials are a very good addition to the game to power the master sword up, you have to fend off enemies in many differing room increasing in difficulty starting with nothing and scavenging materials to beat the enemies. Master mode is a challenging addition for hardcore players starting over with all enemies raising in level by one. The champions ballad is a great addition to the story with great rewards you have to do the very same challenges that the champions had to do and defeat the blights again, and complete one last divine beast.… Expand

    Clearly one of the best Games of all Time. Just because of the open World. Yes the story isnt´t the best or the most detailed but if you just want to play a nice open World game this is the Game for you.

    I enjoyed how Breath of the wild "revolutionized" the series when really maybe it perfected the original vision of NES The legend of Zelda.

That being said, the lack of dungeons and item progression is replaced with absolute freedom which is why BOTW is so beautifully refreshing and fun to explore. That being said the fun of this game is exploring the huge overworld but the shrines are so boring and the Devine beast are even worse. These were suppose to be the "dungeons" to be discovered in the open world but they will every die hard zelda unsatisfied. Cutscenes are great when reliving memories and finishing the Divine beasts but the power up gained make the game so easy as you get more and more overpowered. I only completed the beasts once my 1st out of 4 play throughs. Now finally the reason why Zelda games are the best is the music. As an artistic direction music was removed to enhance the experience of traversing the massive world. There are a few deepcuts to older zelda song that made my heart rejoice. One example being the Link to the past Hyrule castle theme that was later used in Windwaker for the king of hyrule's theme it was again the music that played when the king of Hyrule makes his appearance to link but there were not enough of these musical easter eggs for me. But Finally Devine beasts are not dungeons and the shrine were truly truly HOT GARBAGE!... Thank you… Expand

    Breath of the Wild is an incredible game that revolutionizes the open-world genre.It is also the culmination of the open world.I guess the only disadvantage of Breath of the Wild is that it is only on the Switch.It is really really really a pity,because if it is on the PlayStation or Xbox,we can enjoy 2k or 4k resolution.

    I don't know. Personally, the game often bores me because of the complexity or incomprehensibility. The game is a masterpiece, especially as the first exclusive, but if I had to choose between Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey, I chose Mario.

    This game changed how I play games.

    After playing botw I permanently can't play any more AAA open world games because I fell so limited in traversal, combat and exploration. Botw gives you so much freedom yet everything you try is so well thought out and crafted that it's hard to believe that this game was in production for only 4 years.

    I've never had so many mind blowing moments in a vidoe game "I'll try it but I'm sure there is no way this will work" was a sentence I had in my head a lot of times, and always after that "WHAT?! that really worked!"

    This was my first Zelda game and I'm a fan so my score cant be because of nostalgia. I would say this is the best openworld game ever made and companies like EA, Ubisoft, Guerilla can only envy Nintendo.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mostly good way to spend idle hours. Annoying how some enemies could take you down to one heart, no matter how many hearts you have. Wished that reclaiming the towers meant that that territory was now free of enemies. It would make Link's role as hero have more meaning. Wished Link built up an army as he moved through territories, so he wasn't always fighting alone. Too many shrines. Guardians and Lynels too hard to kill. Rain was super annoying and lasted too long. Really enjoyed Beedle, most of the castle, and the five animal challenges. Link's hearts should automatically refill when he swims in a fairy's waters or visits a goddess statue (regardless if he has the spirit orbs). Why only monks? Why not nuns, too? And why don't these spirits teach Link more? And that ending? Why doesn't Link get to see Hyrule free? He should get to visit the villages and celebrate his world, along with Zelda.… 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.
