Summary

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the first 3D open-world game in the Zelda series. Link can travel anywhere and be equipped with weapons and armor found throughout the world to grant him various bonuses. Unlike many games in the series, Breath of the Wild does not impose a specific order in which quests or dungeons must be completed. While the game still has environmental obstacles such as weather effects, inhospitable lands, or powerful enemies, many of them can be overcome using the right method. A lot of critics ranked Breath of the Wild as one of the best video games of all time.

I've tried to get into this game twice and it just wasn't for me. Very annoying controls and despite some cool puzzles the narrative just isn't quite hitting the spot.

The first 10 hours was good, then we got 50 more behind. A large world filled literally with nothingness. Botw is Boring, tedious, empty, repetitive as fuck. probably the worst Zelda 3d i've played so far.

Oof. This game was hard to get through. An empty world. Weapons that constantly break. A forgettable story. This just didn't work for me.

Nintendo's first foray into the realm of open-world games is showcased in the newest addition to the The Legend of Zelda series, Breath of the Wild. This game delivers an unparalleled sensation of freedom, allowing players to explore wherever they please following the initial tutorial. You are equipped with a paraglider and various abilities that complement the gameplay perfectly. The world is filled with hidden treasures and fantastic puzzles. The game's art style and soundtrack play important roles in shaping its overall ambiance, elevating it to a truly exceptional experience. Despite a few criticisms, like the limited enemy variety and occasional performance issues, these do not diminish the game's overall quality. This title represents a significant evolution of the open-world genre and stands as a masterpiece that deserves the highest acclaim!

Beautifully vibrant setting. The story is extremely strong and for my first Zelda experience I was extremely satisfied. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of is any challenge that involves the gyroscope. These were tedious. Bring on tears of the kingdom.

One of the best launch titles for any console. Exploring the open world is fun but does lose some of it's magic on the second playthough. The boss fights for the most part are quite easy especially the windbright ganon fight. The music is great offering one great tunes to relaxing piano tracks for the open world to serious songs for the boss fights. The shrines are alright certain challenges like the tests of strength are repeated quite a bit but the most of ten are quite fun. The voice acting is fine no outstanding performances but no ones down right bad.

Played it on Cemu with enhanced textures, since I don't own a switch +Zelda Botw is super cool if you're looking for an immersive world < something like Elden ring/the Witcher 3 -Link's combat mechanics are too basic. -Evading mechanics are bad.. where you have to perform a very basic jump in order to execute it! -Short story (+but adventuresom). World 9/10 Storyline 8/10 Gameplay 8/10

First of its kind. To this day the only game that captures the most authentic and true feel of an open world game. It doesn't tell you much, which is to its absolute advantage. The whole point of the experience is to just get lost and figure out the world for the first time, making it feel as authentic as a video game can feel. Really is a perfect game, besides weapon degradation which is just really executed poorly and made weapons break to easily

Played this on friend's Switch. Loved it so much and became one of my all time favourites. Ended up buying a Switch just to be able to play Zelda BOTW again.

One of if not the best game I've ever played. This new open world take of the kingdom of Hyrule is great. You can go wherever you want whenever you want. The world is full of surprises and little things to do, I would never get bored while playing it. I have over 260 hours on it and that's just the start. It's definitely one of the best games in recent memory and of all time

This was the first big Zelda game I missed. I owned a Wii U, but I stopped playing it back in 2016. So, I never got a chance to play it until February 2021 when I bought a Switch. I desperately needed this game in my life at the time, it was less of a distraction and more of a meditative experience for me. BOTW is easily my favourite game of all time. The exploration didn't feel like busy work. The combat kept me on edge and made me think strategically about what weapons I needed to use. While, I have my issues with the game, in terms of the dungeons and bosses, the game overall feels new chapter in this beloved series. I can't wait to see what happens next.
