    Pretty fun game. I'm normally not a big fan of Zelda or open world games but this one was a big exception. The open world was really fun to explore, i constantly got side-tracked by little puzzles or shrines or NPC's. The combat mechanic was also pretty fun, where you could come up with your wacky little strategies on defeating enemies. The story was pretty okay, but nothing that specialPretty fun game.

This game is a bit of a mix, some elements are a bit disappointing but here are the pros and cons:

    Pros:

    Gameplay

    Replayability

    Memorable characters

    Exploration

    Glitches

    Hours you get out of

    Story

    Cons:

    Music

    Combat

    Dungeons

    So, starting with the pros:

    The Gameplay is some of the best I have seen. Flying from Rito village to shield surfing down a mountain is just satisfying, the number of things to do and ways to play the game is amazing, the best I have ever seen.

    The replayability in this game is amazing, I have played through this game over and over and I am still discovering new things and finding new locations. You could play through game repeatedly and still not find so many things, The hours though...

    There are many memorable characters, the way Nintendo does this is great, from Ravioli’s Cockiness to Zelda’s Love is crazy compared to other games.

    Exploration is crazy, Breath of the Wild changed the Idea of open world, letting the player do as much of they want and getting to do finish the game when they feel like it, the world is massive compared to anything else at the time and revolutionized open world.

    The glitches in the game do not look good... But! For an open world game, it does not have many glitches compared to games like Cyberpunk, and the community only discovered the game-breaking glitches a couple of years after the game came out, if you look at them now, it does not look great but looking further it is great.

    The hours you get out of it might seem like a con to some, put a big pro to others, this game is the most addicting I have ever played, and I have hundreds of hours on it, and like I mentioned before, there is way too much to do.

    The story is good, not much compared to other Zelda games but it is overall good, the game focuses on the backstory and history of the world, being slightly barebone in the current time, but overall, solid.

    Now onto the Cons:

    The Music is horrible compared to other Zelda games, they are masterpieces, while this is just a guy playing some keyboard notes every few seconds and is boring. I really think Nintendo could have done better but they did not put the effort in.

    The combat in this game is barebones, if you use glitches this is the opposite, but the normal combat BORING. The only things you can do are normal attacks and spin attacks, that’s it. There are 3 types of weapons being Swords, Two-handed Swords, and spears, all with different fighting styles, but the combat is still boring.

    The dungeons in this game are a bit disappointing coming from Zelda, the game series is all about them. The dungeons are not Horrible, but you get 120, yes 120 bite-sized dungeons that take 5-10 minutes + 4 Big dungeons that take about 20-30 Minutes, this is disappointing for Zelda.

    Overall this is a masterpiece, end of story.    … Expand

    Almost a perfect Zelda experience. My only complaints being limited to minor grips including shield surfing max speed being too slow, lack of meaningful weapon and enemy diversity in the late game. The only large complaint I have would be the final boss being far too easy.

    The best Zelda game of all time when it comes to open world and game mechanics(except from TOTK). The open world is huge with so much to do in it. There are so many different environments to explore from lava volcanoes to deserts to snow mountains. There are also so many items in this game as well and the outfit and weapon system are amazing.

The cooking system is also a genius mechanic as well. The paraglider is also one of the most fun ways to travel in all of gaming. The story is basic but simple and finding the best weapons and the master sword is very fun. Despite the final dungeon being amazing as its essentially an open world castle with various enemies and treasures, the other dungeons and bosses are all bland- they are more puzzles rather than actual temples, which is very annoying. Shrines were fun but got tedious eventually. Overall a masterclass of a game.… Expand

    O jogo não é perfeito, a história principal é meio curta e tirar aquelas fotos com o Sheikah é um saco, mas esse jogo... tem simplesmente o melhor mundo aberto de todosssss, Zelda tem algo a mais... a trilha sonora... os sounds effects... tudo do jogo é mágico, essa jornada do Link que vc faz é mágica.
    Demora um pouco pra engrenar.

    This game has a few major flaws. My main issue with this game is the lack of themed dungeons. I thought the main story quests (devine beasts) were quite weak. The frame rate in the towns was also quite bad and often broke my immersion. I also wish some of the towns were a bit bigger. That said, you can’t deny the quality and effort that was put into this game world. Where this game trulyThis game has a few major flaws. My main issue with this game is the lack of themed dungeons.

Once you've completed the game, down to the tiniest challenge of all dlc, BOTW remains an experience that's always available to live. It's worth going back to the version of the kingdom of Hyrule as we go back to the garden or forest and experience it just by being there, surrounded by its atmosphere.

    What makes this game my favorite of all the amazing games in the franchise, it is your feeling of freedom that the game spends all the time.
    You can go directly to the end of the game if you want, or stay hours and hours, just looking for korok seeds.
    I just love this game, and I'm going to keep playing over and over again, because every new game is a whole new experience.    … Expand

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an absolute joy to play as it's an undeniably rewarding adventure set in a deeply immersive world. Although the experience is weighed down by a few minor problems, the overall journey is one that no gamer will soon forget.

    Breath of the Wild can’t be compared to the likes of The Witcher 3 or Skyrim because it’s not trying to be those games -- it’s a Nintendo game -- and series -- all grown up. It has a lot to offer and will keep you engaged for lengthy periods of time. If you’re playing on Switch as you absolutely should be, then you can also Zelda wherever you go. It’s arguably not the best Zelda game, but damn, it might be the most polished, and the most ambitious.

    Does it have the best combat system in the world? No. Is it the best looking game out there? No. Does it have the best RPG soundtrack ever? No. Can the game make you feel like you are eight years old again? Hell yes. It certainly had that effect with me. It has been a long time since exploring, fighting, and adventuring has so consistently brought a smile to my face. Breath of the Wild is such a wonderful experience that once you play it, you will likely never look at open world games the same again.
