    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.

    Its just a masrerpiece, not only there is great quality and care in every aspect of the game but it also has that "addiction effect" where it just sucks you in until you finish it and keep wanting more.

    Melhor jogo da existência total da matéria, anti-matéria, energia, anti-energia, de tudo ate o inimaginável, sem palavras, o ápice total dos videos games, os videos games podem se definir antes e depois de THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD.

    I had never played a Zelda game before when I played this, but I had more pure fun playing this game than almost any other game I have ever played.

The only complaints I have are that the story is very generic (but you don't play it for the story, really), and they really should give Zelda some more to do herself. But the game is a 10/10 because everything else is as inventive as any video game I've ever played.… Expand

    Just amazing. One of the biggest open-world games out there, nostalgia for many, and an overwhelming amount of content. It will be forever until something else takes its spot for my favorite game of all time.

    One of the best games this generation and one of the best games in the Zelda series. Its best described as Ocarina of Time crossed with Skyrim and its just as awesome as that sounds. Easily the best game I played in 2017 and the best game I played on the Wii U. Yes I could have bought the Switch version but the game was developed for the Wii U so I figured it would play better.

    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.

It's heartbreaking when it's all over and you realize you no longer have any challenges providing reasons to spend time there.

    It's only flaws are those that exist across all videogames - stereotypical good vs. evil, save the damsel in distress plot, and tons of elements shamelessly stolen from the classic works of sci-fi and fantasy.    … Expand

    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 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.
