    The best game I've ever played! A world where not even the monsters scattered everywhere can spoil the wonderful landscapes that are breathtaking to behold, offers a unique journey for each player.

    What makes this game so special is the sheer freedom, scope, and nonlinearity of gameplay. This is my favorite game ever. Do not read anything else (no guides or advice) because that will lessen the experience. Go play this now!

    Zelda Breath Of The Wild is a revolution. With 7 years of development, Myamoto hits hard with an open world that checks all the boxes and more. Despite a rather "dry" direction and draft, the title offers a story and a gameplay almost perfect. We hope that Tears Of the Kingdom will live up to the magical adventure of our dear Link. A MUST-PLAY and it’s not just me who says it!

    I love how this game is so good, that triggerd sony and microsoft fanboys are just giving it a 1 so that the score will drop! Amazing game!

    ThE GAME is amazing

    Story is amazing with cutscenes that are epic. Soundtrack is very good also and will probably grow on everyone.

    Absolute Masterpiece, the artistic design is gorgeous, the gameplay is great, and the open world has so much to explore and to do.
    Thing like letting you go defeat Ganon from the very beginning of the game is such a cool addition that they didnt need to do, but all the little details like that makes this one of the best games ever created.

    The game gives a variety of challenges and interesting exploration. While it's difficult without usual quest navigations and TIPs, the uniqueness of the world allows you to bypass any concerns and give you the interest to explore that more and more.
    I was always expecting to find some secret places.

    You have to try this game if you perceive yourself as a gamer.

    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

    It is a good game, I can see the amount of effort that the developers put into this game.

    The only thing I didn't like was the story. I've felt a lack of a good story, it is just too generic about saving a kingdom, also I despise mute protagonists.

    The gameplay is the best part of the game, the combat is awesome. The base is a "Souls Style of Combat" but it has some peculiarities that make it even more interesting. The weapons you use always will break there is nothing you can do to stop them to break so you need to change the weapons and each weapon has a different type of attack and some have special moves like light beams, that really incentive the player to try out different weapons and I really liked. It is cool you don't need to upgrade your weapon to use it, so you can pick up any weapon from the ground and you are ready to use it immediately.

    Another peculiarity is how intuitive is the combat, pretty much everything you think works out like you can make things fall over the enemies to kill them, you can throw them on the water, you can use stealth. It is really fun.

    The puzzles and the exploration are good, nothing at Mario Odyssey puzzles level but it is still better than the average puzzles you see in the games industry.    … Expand

    This game is one of the best for switch and a must-to-have. You can discover the map and find out new things about the history of Hyrule.
    If you find a sword or another stuff, you can fight with enemies on the over-world.
    The villages make the game more especially.
    Finally the game ends with a exciting fight with ganon.
    I love this game and I think it's the best I've ever played before.

The enemies lack variety and are all just recolored versions of the same ten or so enemies. The combat is pretty good but the weapon durability makes it frustrating.

That's when it starts getting greater, 4 dungeons doesn't seem like much but you can't miss the fact that there's 120 mini-dungeons as well so you'll never get bored.

    My first Nintendo game. A lot of emotions.

    The graphics, although simple, are pleasant and do not cause a feeling of some kind of unreality of what is happening, or "toylike". Although the combat mechanics themselves are quite limited, everything is compensated by the physics of the world, opening up huge opportunities for the player, both in combat and in the usual study of the world.

    The story is amazing, but the main story is only a small part of what the game provides. Secondary tasks, which are quite well hidden around the world, quite form an independent storyline that tells about the problems of ordinary people in this world.

    Lots of micro-mechanics, cooking, upgrading or creating items, the need to change equipment depending on the zone or your personal goal.

    A huge number of events in the world that occur both randomly and when a certain event or time of day is reached. Worldbosses that present a separate challenge for the player, and which you want to go through again and again trying different features of the game.

    You can spend a lot of time in this game, and it is unlikely that you will be able to get bored, because even after 200 hours it will have something to surprise you with.

    The only thing that I personally would like to add to this game is a cooperative opportunity when exploring the world. It is so huge that sometimes you want to visit it with someone.    … Expand

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 won't go into all that's already been said about the breathtaking natural æsthetics or the absolutely annoying weapon breakage system.

    To me the main argument against this game is its inflection of the licence. Zelda games were always a tale-like experience. With fairies, monsters, narratives, æsthetics. BotW isn't a tale. It has tales in it, but it is meant as a far too serious and realistic game, with its hazardous open-world, motorbike, Seikah slate (= smartphone, even taking pictures), etc.

    The irruption of technology and too realistic problematics makes it swing into something totally different.

    When playing, I don't wanna spend hours walking in a vast empty world looking for wood, food & goods that ultimately break, etc.

    I also don't need hyper-casual instant fun. I love long stories. But somehow BotW is absolutely not rewarding under several tens of hours; which means weeks and weeks to me.

    What remains: the OST, which as a composer I'll describe as a true contemporary masterpiece. I bought the 5-CDs and grinded every little corner of them 1 year before buying the game.    … Expand

    - The empty open world dilutes the Zelda experience. There are few dungeons. Not even the final castle has puzzles.
    - The annoying, bullet sponge ancient guardians are everywhere. Their sound already makes me nuts.
    - The tutorial takes HOURS.
    - Cooking is terrible. It takes 10 times longer than it should because the menus are bad. It also makes combat meaningless, since you can negate every damage you take. They then "balanced" that by making enemies almost one-hit you, but you can still eat again. Combat just takes longer and takes many, many pauses and is honestly broken.
    - Weapons seem to be made of glass and break in 5 hits. Throwing them break them instantly. More inventory pauses everytime!
    - The same 5 enemies are repeated over and over again.
    - Only one attack button.
    - Backstabs sometimes just don't work.
    - Exploration is severely hindered by Link's ridiculously low stamina. Climbing is SLOW.
    - Rain. Nintendo decided it would be a good idea to make climbing impossible for 2 minutes with no way to speed up time during this. Thunderstorms can one-shot you if you don't take out metal equipment. Fun!
    - Loading times are HUGE.
    - Repeating textures EVERYWHERE.
    - Mediocre music.
    - Shrine puzzles too easy.
    - Stealth section is terrible.
    - Side quests are meaningless.
    - Surprise good point: as much as they tried to emulate AAA souless titles, they didn't include perks!    … Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10)Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    This is my first Zelda game and I enjoyed every minute of this game. It got me through a 7 month deployment without getting bored. You can spend an eternity finding all the little secrets of this game. I enjoyed all the puzzles and the world building. The only thing that could use a little adjusting is how often your weapons break. The world and side stories is more then enough to carry this one inconvenience.    … 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

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

    I have just completed this game and in my opinion get this game more praise than it's deserve.

    Sure it is a very fun and experimental game, where you have many opportunities to complete it. The good aspects first. I really like the concept of the game that you can go to Ganon, the final boss, when ever you want. This leads to countless different ways to play and experience it. In    I have just completed this game and in my opinion get this game more praise than it's deserve.

    Sure it is a very fun and experimental game, where you have many opportunities to complete it.

    The good aspects first.

    I really like the concept of the game that you can go to Ganon, the final boss, when ever you want. This leads to countless different ways to play and experience it. In consequence it gets also a lot of replay value, because of the different options you have to reach the goal.

    The shrines, one of the most controversial new addition for nearly all of the players, is also one of my favourite new elements the developer have added. The little puzzle rooms, work like a collectible and also as tricky little puzzles to keep the motivation high. The player is always in control of the pace and able to make free decisions on his own.

    Another top aspect is the world itself. Hyrule looks beautiful, has a lot of secrets to explore and offers a variety of environments. The complete world feels alive and the music which unusually subtle for a Zelda game fits it all perfectly.

    However, now here are my issues with the game.

    The new element, that your weapons will broke down, is annoying all the time you play and especially at the beginning simply frustrating. You only get weak weapons which will broke down very quickly, so you need to get another weak weapon. Thankfully this gets better when you make more progress. But this Problem runs through the entire game.

    The second complain I have is the camera angle, especially in combat. They have never improved on that since 1998. At that time it was not that bad, because at that time there weren't much enemies on the screen. But now You it can easily happen, that you have to face four or five enemies simultaneously. At that point you realise that the combat system is not made for situations like that.
    The final boss fight against Ganon is really bad and a huge disappointment. Clunky controls and an outdated concept are the main reasons for that.

    My last complain is the praise itself that the game gets. This is by far not the best game on switch.
    Super Mario Odyssey and Kirby and the forgotten Land are by far the better games, because they implemented their new features, way more clever than Breath of the Wild did. Both games also feel more polished, than Breath of the Wild.

    It is clearly a good game but far away from being a masterpiece.    … Expand

    This is Nintendo! They've done it again! Captivating adventure, unforgettable experience. Lost for words to fully express the way this game makes a player feel. It is unique and you need to find out for yourself what makes it so. An instant classic, no two ways about it.

    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]
