    I have only had botw for a couple of days, but it is already on par with the greats: oot, twilight, and it is probably the best of them all.

    I had such a great time with this game ! Sadly I don't have too much time to dif deeper, but I will definitely pick it up again some time soon. It's amazing, I had what I would call "a real esthetic experience" in this game. It really feels like liberty like no other game.

    Das Spiel ist wortwörtlich ein Meisterwerk. Aber warum gebe ich eine 9? Wenn man bei den Dörfern ist lagt es oft. Aber auch so laggt das Spiel oft. Trotzdem ein echt gutes Spiel! Wenn ihr aber eine Switch habt kauft es lieber dort da es dort nicht so lagt

    Breath of the Wild is a nice revamp of the Zelda formula, the physics and chemical engine adds a lot to the gameplay, which really surprised me, this is what a sandbox should be, being able to experiment with everything you can do with little boundaries gives an immense sense of freedom and acomplishment for every new non official mechanic that you can find on your own.

    The game has some weaknesses though. There aren't enough dungeons and they can be a bit repetitive, also, kinda boring sometimes for the lack of change in themes, but not all of them are mandatory. At least the Wii U version has some framerate issues but rarely they make it unplayable, just be aware.

    Story wise it is a bit weak but I didn't expect nothing special from a Zelda game in this regard, but it still left me wanting more, specially from the colorfull support cast of four champions. And the weapon degradation system is a bit too much of a burden, there are weapons that I love and for that reason I don't use it. The rain is another issue, sometimes is too frecuent and takes away at least 30% of Link's climbing performance wich in turn makes world traversing boring automatically.

    It's my own policy to substract at least one point for aditional DLC and Microtransactions in full price games and this game has two sets of DLC that aren't big enough to justify the price bump. Also, Amiibos artificially block some content to unnecesaries pieces of plastic junk, they're not game breaking but I would love to have access to the special armor, Epona and Wolf Link with an ingame mechanic instead of an artificial vault that you can only open with spending more money.

    I would love it if they had made the Wii U version a more unique experience, it doesn't take advantage of the Wii U gamepad at all and it seems that at least some of the features of the original builds of the game were stripped out in order to make the Switch version more attractive.

    I love this game, battling is great and the commitment from Nintendo into releasing it even after the unfortunate missapreciation that the Wii U suffered from the market, the developers and the press is a show of respect that I wouldn't expect from many companies.

    The game is a must play.    … Expand

    Absolute must-buy for any Wii u or Switch owner, or even any gamer in general. The open-world is MASSIVE with stuff to do EVERYWHERE. Everything has purpose, and there are multiple solutions to every puzzle or obstacle the game throws at you. While the dungeons may be a tad bit weak/lacking, the rest of the game compensates SO much that this is hardly a problem.(I also wasn't really muchAbsolute must-buy for any Wii u or Switch owner, or even any gamer in general.

    It DEFINITELY lived up to the hype. The battle difficulty that was lacking from the other games, the completely open world map, the bazillion side quests, and many new features that make this game stellar. Nintendo lands a home run in a franchise with plenty of them already.

    I love this game and how open the world it is, however I few complaints that don't make it a 10/10. namely the story. The story had so much potential were in a post-apocalyptic Hyrule where Ganon has gotten super close to winning but a lot of the potential is wasted for example the four champions. In the memories, you find throughout the game The champions are just sitting around talking.I love this game and how open the world it is, however I few complaints that don't make it a 10/10. namely the story.

I will say that I love Princess Zelda's development in this game is fantastic it really made me care about her as a character. Also, stuff like the shrines and the divine beasts are quite easy. If Nintendo focused a bit more on story in this game this would be a 10/10 game for me. I really hope the sequel will have a bit more emphasis on story… Expand

    Above and beyond the rest in the series. The huge landscapes, as well as non-linear progression make this one stand alone in the franchise. The weapon durability, while an angst for most, adds to the challenge of the game. The rain is a huge pain for climbing, but can be used to hide your sound when sneaking. Everything has an advantage and disadvantage.

    The game starts you in the middle of this huge open world and doesn't force you to do anything with it there is no companion that is constantly nagging at you to get to a certain location. It is also surprising how much depth the game offers for a world of its size, the game is full of fun small puzzles called shrines (on top of the dungeons) and is also filled with fun

Es ist nicht nur das beste Switch-Spiel, sondern vor allem das beste Spiel aller Zeiten. Außerdem ist es meiner Meinung nach das beste Spiel der Reihe und ich meine, Zelda natürlich zurecht ist die beliebteste Spielereihe aller Zeiten. An alle die eine Switch ohne Botw(Breath of the wild) haben: Schämt euch! Man findet auf der ganzen Welt keine Top-Liste der besten Switch-Spiele ohne Botw auf Platz 1.
    Doch wieso liebe ich dieses Spiel so sehr?
    1. Die Musik ist unfassbar gut. Und das obwohl sie nicht von Koji Kondo ist. Das schafft sonst fast kein Nintendo-Spiel. Ich liebe das Main-Theme! Aber allein der Trailer des Spiels ist unübertrieben epischer als alle Trailer (auch von Filmen), die ich je gesehen habe.
    2. Die Story und die Charaktere sind so interessant und genial! Die Story ist einfach nur herzzerreißend und so unfassbar nachvollziehbar. Man startet mit Link ohne jegliche Erinnerung in der postapokalyptischen Welt Hyrule und man erlangt langsam seine Erinnerungen zurück und erkundet die Welt. Die Charaktere sind einfach nur toll dargestellt. Die Entwicklung von Prinzessin Zelda ist super dargestellt. Die verschiedenen Dörfer und Völker sind auch witzig und interessant.
    3. Die Freiheit ist einzigartig. Es gibt kein Spiel, das so ein Open-World-Game ist wie Botw. Es gibt keine unsichtbaren Wände. Du kannst überall hin, wo du hin willst. Du kannst in jedes Haus, was wirklich einzigartig ist, denn so ein Spiel gibt es sonst nicht. Kein Open-World-Game hat wirklich keine Grenzen, außer Botw.
    4. Dann gibt es da noch die kleineren Unglaublichkeiten, die ich jetzt alle in einen Punkt packe. Es gibt 120 sogenannte Schreine, in denen man kleine Rätsel und Prüfungen absolviert, die jeweils 5-10 Minuten dauern und für die man auch eine Belohnung bekommt, die sich lohnt, wenn man alle schafft. Es gibt über 150 Sidequests, die zwar teilweise nervig sind, aber trotzdem viele Spielstunden füllen. Und dann sind da natürlich die 900 Krogs. Sie verstecken sich unter Steinen, auf Bäumen, in Teichen und vielen anderen Orten. Sie sind auch hilfreich, da man mit ihnen seine Waffentasche vergrößern kann, die Belohnung, die man kriegt, wenn man alle hat, ist aber lächerlich. Sie bringt absolut nichts. Natürlich können diese Dinge auch negativ gewertet werden, wenn man 100% schaffen will, aber eigentlich bedeutet das nur, dass es extrem viel Content gibt und das ist es wofür Botw steht. Dann kommt hinzu, dass man Pferde reiten kann, dass es viele verschiedene Kostüme mit verschiedenen Buffs gibt und dass die Waffen zerbrechen. Das könnte auch als negativ angesehen werden, was ich aber nicht finde, da man sonst die ganze Zeit nur mit seiner besten Waffe spielt und die anderen nicht braucht. So muss man überlegen, was taktisch klüger ist: Die gute Waffe zu benutzen oder eine eher schlechtere.
    Doch natürlich hat auch Botw schlechte Punkte. Der größte ist, dass der Bosskampf lächerlich einfach ist. Ohne zu Spoilern: Der Bosskampf hat zwei Phasen. Die erste ist nicht schwer, aber anspruchsvoll und die zweite kann man nur schaffen. Der Boss macht keine Attacken und du selbst musst ihn nur oft genug treffen, dann ist er down. Außerdem wurden die alten bekannten Zelda-Dungeons durch vier Titanen gestrichen, die erstens weniger sind als die Dungeons und zweitens viel leichter als die klassischen Zelda-Dungeons sind, also kein guter Ersatz. Die 120 Schreine hingegen sind wirklich eine tolle Idee, sie machen wirklich Spaß.
    Aber jedes Spiel hat so seine Macken und Fehler. Nichts desto trotz: Spielt dieses Spiel, ihr werdet es lieben und falls ihr es durchgespielt habt und es nicht mochtet, dürft ihr diese Bewertung ruhig mit "Nein" bewerten.    … Expand

    THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD for Wii U is a lot of fun, but it's only fun the first time you play it, but it's amazing the first time you play it.

    A truly beautiful game. Adding the graphics to the nice and calming story makes for a great combo. The shrines were fun puzzles and I can see how they aren't hard, but are addicting. This is true Nintendo magic. The only thing I didn't like was collecting the 900 Korok seeds, but it was still fun. The mini bosses like the Hinux and the Lynels were fun, but I despise the moldugas. 9/10,A truly beautiful game. Adding the graphics to the nice and calming story makes for a great combo.

Breath of the Wild (BOTW) is one such game. Complete, thrilling, and challenging, this Legend of Zelda (LOZ) chapter has effortlessly earned its place in my heart and on my best-ever list. 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

    In my opinion, this is simply the best open world ever made. The best compliment I can give this game is that I could have played 10+ hours a day and still felt curious and excited as ever to continue exploring it.

    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.

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

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

    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.
