    It's fine. No story to speak of, boring enemies. Best part is exploration but frequent rain and inability to call horse in the wild gets in the way of that.

    A great looking game with horrible controls. The game is getting boring very quickly. But for a Nintendo game it isn't that bad. We all know Nintendo must be holding back what they can for years.

    Many people complain about the breakability of weapons. But I felt it was I good mechanic to encourage combat creativity, it encourages the player to use every single tool on it's inventory (food, clothes, arrows, shields, weapons, special abilities) and also the enviroment.
    I've played all 3D Zeldas and most of the 2D ones. BOTW is a nice turn back to some of the features that made NES original such a great, challenging game.

    Increíble juego y experiencia, merece ser jugado por todos. La exploración del mundo es sin duda la mejor de cualquier juego hasta la fecha aunque sin embargo sigue teniendo muchos fallos y cosas a mejorar en su secuela, como la falta de quests secundarias, personajes interesantes, el sistema de degradación de armas y el boss final. Muy bueno pero no una obra maestra ni un 10

Il s'agit très clairement d'un grand jeu qui séduit par ses mécaniques révolutionnaires, bien huilées, et sa liberté. La bande-son, jugée mi-figue, mi-raisin par certains est toute aussi élaborée. Évidemment, sans oublier son sound-design innovant et complémentaire à l'exploration qui est poussée à son paroxysme, ainsi que la physique, léchée, qui n'a jamais été aussi développée et aboutie dans l'histoire des jeux vidéos. Zelda Breath of The Wild incarne donc un véritable accomplissement sur ce point là. On note également la pureté des environnements qui sont dépouillés de quasiment toute vie humaine, dans ce monde perdu et dévasté, et qui se mettent au service d'une direction artistique qui permet des panoramas à couper le souffle. Loin d’être juste "un bon jeu mais un mauvais Zelda", ce petit bijou n’hésite pas à donner un bon coup de pied dans la fourmilière dans le but de dépoussiérer le genre du monde ouvert. Ce jeu désormais classique par sa philosophie du "monde ouvert au service du gameplay" est un pionnier du genre, il s’agit d’un aboutissement pour le jeu vidéo dans son ensemble, dans le sens où il pousse sans aucune vergogne le joueur à se dévier de sa quête principale pour toujours plus explorer ce monde d’Hyrule regorgeant de vie et d’activités, quitte à le guider vers des camps ennemis. N’est-elle finalement pas là, la véritable quête principale du joueur ? Le bestiaire, justement, leur design ainsi que celui de leur habitat atteint justement une cohérence et une logique rarement vue dans les jeux vidéos. Les ennemis qui d’ailleurs, loin d’avoir une IA aux fraises, sont dotés d’une véritable capacité de réflexion, n’hésitant pas à utiliser l’environnement qui les entoure pour se défendre ou attaquer. Enfin, il ne faut pas oublier de mentionner les donjons dans lesquels on atteint très clairement le summum de l’ingéniosité en terme de mécaniques de gameplay. Zelda Breath of The Wild est donc une pépite, non, un véritable chef d’œuvre dans lequel on voit à quel point le monde d'Hyrule est consistant et où les développeurs ont su trouver le parfait équilibre entre sanctuaires, donjons, villages, et exploration. Définitivement, une vraie pièce de maître.… Expand

Боевка несложная и приятная в управлении, арсенал очень разнообразен, всякие эликсиры, еда тоже не утомляли, да блин, здесь ничего не утомляет! Испытания в виде святилищ постоянно интриговали, некоторые были легкими, а над некоторыыми прям приходилось ломать голову.

    Big empty lifeless world, combat no so exciting, i do not like the concept of broken shields and weapons , the climbing system which is not logic and against physicses graphics which is not astonishing or gorgeous it looks like ipad games , and link the protagonist who do not talk !!! No voice acting for link how come a game like this the protagonist do not talk currently one of the most important aspects of the best games ever made is the protagonist and voice acting of the character that makes us fall in love with games like arthur morgan or kratos , nathan drake and many many characters. zelda botw is good game but not S tier or best ever or what so ever you call it you can not put it besides red dead redemption 2 or god of war, last of us or many many games who are much better on many aspects and again i am not telling it is a bad game i am playstation fan but i really like to explore many and different games from the playstation system it is a really good game but not that much as most of you claiming it is the best ever or the 10/10 reviews i think it’s fair review 8 or 8.5    … Expand

    It seemed promising at first, but every aspect of this game has been outplayed by prior titles (except for graphics). This game is mostly proud of how big its open world is, but not what's actually in it, all you'll find is a barren wasteland that reminds you that the story you wish this game could have took place 100 years prior.

    It's difficult to understand how the developers did what they did with BOTW. To create a world where you can go anywhere, capture just about anything, stunning graphics and lush landscapes, combined with a gargantuan world. And that's just the beginning. There are numerous side quests, hundreds of korok seeds to find, over 100 shrine puzzles to complete, and a dozen towers to activate. TheIt's difficult to understand how the developers did what they did with BOTW.

There are numerous side quests, hundreds of korok seeds to find, over 100 shrine puzzles to complete, and a dozen towers to activate. The puzzles are unique and super fun to play. And it all adds up to one of the best stories in gaming. It's a game that could last over a year to play and even then there's always something to do. And this is all on a cartridge the size of one's thumb. This is easily the new standard for open world gaming and some of the most fun I've ever had with a game on any console. It is truly a masterpiece and well deserving of the greatest game of all time. Thanks to the developers for making a game that all my other games combined cannot compete with. Well done!… Expand

Una minuscula pega, quizá la unica junto con los jefes de cada bestia divina, es el desgaste de las armas, excesivamente rápido aunque entiendo su finalidad. La historia es sencilla pero muy bien realizada y con momentos que favorecen la inmersión en el juego, breve y presentada de tal manera que no entorpezca el eje central del juego, la exploración y sensación de aventura.

    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

The ONLY real gripe of mine is the durability system. You will often find multiple weapons and shields breaking within the same battle against just one or two enemies. It’s easily the most frustrating aspect of the game and the only thing that you’ll find actually detracting from the experience. If you have a Switch, BOTW is an absolute must-play.… Expand

    Positives:
    - Graphics are amazing. This really is a beautiful game.
    - Greatest game ever made with exploration in mind
    - Fun shrines and puzzles (though not particularly hard)
    - Great combat
    - Gameplay
    - The stamina bar might be the greatest addition to the game since 3D. It allows you to gradually explore the world while keeping the sense of freedom intact from first minutes to the last.

    Negatives
    - Great music, but there's definitely too little of it.
    - Tedious (but kind of fun) cooking system. QOL changes would be appreciated.
    - Weapon durability. I get the system, and I don't absolutely hate it, because it teaches you to value your gear in a way that you wouldn't otherwise - but they could at least double the durability and keep that same sense of joy whenever you find a new (good) weapon.
    - The ending was definitely lackluster. I was intrigued the entire game, which is why the ending left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Considering this is an open world game and people highly praise it for being so. I felt encouraged to just go my own direction and not focus that much on the main quest related stuff for a while. The result of this bad choice was that I explored over 60% of the map, maybe even more. By not having the sword that seals the darkness nor any upgraded inventory space since I first encountered the kuko seed guy.
    How it affected my gameplay:
    While having quite a limited amount of breakable melee weapons.. you don't exactly wanna use up your best ones on trash mobs or worst of all, risk having almost no weapons before a proper battle. This made me feel somewhat forced to use the bombs with nearly all the enemies in the game, which played out like this: Drop bomb, kite, drop bomb, kite, repeat until victory. In some cases I could drop the round bomb and then the squared one and stagger the enemy which was quicker. But was it fun? Not particularly.
    Another consequence of this inventory space is that damn near every chest that provided me with a weapon was one I just had to pass on due to being full. Which doesn't exactly increase motivation to find chests.
    So in conclusion, it is open world with the emphasis on how you should go to one exact place on the map for an unbreakable sword and inventory upgrades in order to have a good experience. However this location isn't marked on the map and needs to be found. A rather idiotic design choice, why have markers on the beasts for instance? You could see them from across the other side of the map almost..
    So why did I not go into the forest to get the sword? Well after having cleared the third beast and seen 75% of the map or so. The area grabbed my attention. One thing thats actually really great about the game is the climbing and glide mechanics. You don't have to walk around a mountain, you can go over it if you want to. I often did such things. So I was in the lava area and decided to glide into that dark forest. As I got close to it I got teleported away. Why would that happen? Naturally I assume that this area is locked, off limits for the time being. That I must probably do something main quest related to make it available to me. So while being relatively sick of my weapons and inventory space I proceeded to get the 4th beast and I actually just went straight to ganon afterwards. I have had enough at that point.
    It was a pretty tedious experience towards the end and I really missed a more propper rpg feeling, it wasn't very engaging to focus on armor or weapons or the character progression. It was in fact very limited and underwhelming.

    I do understand that if one isn't as unlucky as me and goes to the forest early, the experience would be better. Most likely a 7/10 experience, maybe even a 8/10 experience. But that this game is considered the holy grail and a 10/10 from so many is just absurd. But maybe most Nintendo players aren't PC gamers as well? If this is about all you know or have tried in your life then I can understand it to be an overwhelmingly good experience. If I were to rate it on my experience alone instead of considering the technical elements of the game then I would go as low as 4/10. But since I understand the potential of the game and its many good aspects, I landed on 6/10.

    Considering how its such a perfect game you'd probably expected me to be done with the negatives, in fact how could I even write this much? Oh I am not done yet.
    Let me introduce the lightning effect. The first time it took place was when I had ventured a bit far north and was about to rescue an npc. The lightning begun and struck me twice until I died. I thought it was rather strange and wonder why it happened, concluded maybe I needed some special lightning gear or that I wasn't really supposed to be that far north so early.
    Eventually it happened in other places and I didn't understand why it was so aggressively targeting me. Eventually I noticed the dragon and concluded it must be his fault and that I must kill him. I tried once but my attacks didn't land.. Ever since then I felt like I had no choice but to teleport away from my area if the lightning arrived, very fun! After my playthrough I learned that it happened because of the metal sword/shield I was carrying. Is that a connection everybody but me just knows just like that? There's plenty of metal in most umbrellas that people carry around in rain and thunderstorms, you don't see them getting struck every second. I can take some self criticism on this part, but I felt like at least some in-game characters could have warned me.
    Coincidentally I learnt about the thunder crown in the desert not long afterwards and thought it was the solution! However I had to do all the quests in the desert and instructions like "go directly south of the village" to find someone etc wasn't sufficient. I didn't find what I was supposed to and gave up.
    I think I'll get my N64 out now and have a proper Zelda experience.    … Expand
