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.

Breath of the Wild doesn’t feel like an experiment for the Zelda series, it feels like the realization of what Zelda always wanted to be. It easily stands toe-to-toe with the best open world games of the generation, and is a marvelous way to introduce a brand new system. Whether you’re a Zelda fan or not, this is certainly an experience you should not miss out on.

Breath of the Wild’s only tangible constraint is how creative the player can be at any given moment. The game is genuinely challenging, with secrets and rewards to be found around every corner. As you play, the staggering amount of ways in which you can interact with Hyrule naturally reveal themselves. There is always something new to discover, but at your own pace. Somehow, the adventure never loses momentum over dozens of hours of exploration, the inspired design holds up, making for an unmistakable Zelda game that completely changes everything expected from the series. After spending so much time with Breath of the Wild, it is already hard to imagine going back to the antiquated presentation of the past.

I was entranced by this version of Hyrule, and it surprised me at nearly every turn, from its wealth of discoveries to the way it shuns the established tropes of previous Zelda games. It represents a profound new direction for one of gaming’s best franchises and a new high point for open-world interactive experiences.

Breath of the Wild changes up the formula and offers a gigantic open world for the player to discover. It is truly an unforgettable experience.

For any gamer that views Ocarina of Time as the highlight of the franchise, Breath of the Wild is a very pleasant surprise. The innovations Nintendo offers are -nearly all- amazing and Hyrule is more appealing and grandiose than ever before.

The audiovisual beauty alone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is liable to convince you that more is indeed better.

I like the gameplay, love the cel-shaded art, great story, great exploration, side quests, depth, lore, buncha stuff.

Buen juego de la saga zelda, aunque donde si deja decepcionado en en elos calabozos que son muy pequeños, por lo demas el apartado artistico es muy bueno y la historia es buena. Mejor juega Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, es superior a este en todos los aspectos.

Unfortunately the game is too repetitive, bland, and empty with little enemy variety and poor gameplay decisions such as weapon durability. The world building is lackluster and the game is a slog to get through. The engine and world aesthetics are pretty nice, but it feels more like a demo compared to the better expansive open world games that exist.

The game has some appealing elements like the open world and familiar music, but overall it is quite frustrating. The gameplay is often repetitive and tedious, with many dull moments that drag the experience down. The story feels weak and uninspired, failing to keep the player engaged. Technical issues and clunky mechanics make it hard to recommend, resulting in a game that feels like a missed opportunity for the series.

At first I thought it’s a good Zelda game. But removing the fan glasses I see what a bad designed and unfair game it is. And the weird thing is, that the game is harder in early game than in late game. Means it’s nothing for new players. No dungeons, only repetitive boring stuff. Totk has more improvements than I thought. At this moment the game is no fun. I hope the next Zelda for Switch 2 is much better than this catastrophic.
SummaryIgnore everything you know about The Legend of Zelda games. Step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
