There are a few things keeping this from being a perfect game, three of which are: no hookshot, the dynamics of weapon durability, and the repetitiveness of shrines/lack of a memorable "underworld". Also needed an animation of Link throwing up in his mouth as he eats simmered durian.

What a profound statement for Zelda and for Nintendo. What a lot of Nintendo fanboys won't admit is that, as far as video games are concerned, Nintendo hasn't taken a genuine risk in decades. This is a risk and it pays off in droves. There was about a 7-year stretch where I said Dark Souls is the most true 3D Zelda ever made. Now that is untrue; this is that game. Sure, it gets a little too open-worldy at times but but with this level of polish, I can forgive many faults.

I could never really get into a 3D Zelda game; I'm more of a classic Zelda gamer. This one though...I'm not sure I'll ever tire of playing it.

Breath of the Wild is a step down from previous titles due to a lack of respect for tradition, a need to become a "modern" style open world, and a distinct lack of the music the series became so well known for. Although the world is big and there is a decent amount to find. The whole experience feels for the most part empty and not worth the long wait or inflated price.

To no one's surprised, Legend of Zelda: BotW knocks it out of the park once again, this time by introducing scaling mechanics and an open world that make you feel like you can do whatever you want. Solid combat, beautiful visuals, and a plethora of unique ideas make it one of the best Zelda titles.

I've been almost exclusively a retro/indie gamer for the last five or so years but that streak has been broken with Breath of the Wild. For some reason this game just sucked me right in where many other open world games didn't. Maybe it's that Nintendo polish, or trying to unlock the shrines and towers, or the terror of facing Guardians and Lynels, or the cooking, or knowing there's always one more mountain to climb. But for whatever reason this game owned me for a solid three months.

A gamble for Nintendo with their beloved franchise that worked out in their favor. It would be hard to say it's the best Zelda when you can't compare it to the classics fairly. But, anything is possible in this open world. You can complete it in almost any order, so one gamers experience is different from the others. You can get really creative with this game.

Would be so much better if you could climb in the rain or if shield surfing didn't damage your shield...or if your weapons didn't break.

I don't love the Zelda franchise but I love this. Everything I thought was a flaw when I first started it slipped away and I realized how well put together this is. Sure, the story isn't great but it doesn't matter, the weapon breaking isn't nearly as annoying as I originally thought. They encourage experimentation at every turn. Great visual style, the exploration is the best in the entire genre; this is one of the few open world games today I can just walk and have fun.

the best open-world checklist game ever made, which means it's... fine. the praise is due to the name on the box, and though the emergent gameplay leads to fun, exciting scenarios that make this better than the Far Crys of the world, it's still just walking across vast, open fields to collect items to collect orbs to kill time. it's a dialysis machine you plug into the Switch. Zelda's greatest strength has always been in its subtle storytelling, and this game rips that away.
Jan 12, 2018	Daisoujou	95 _89%
There are a lot of flaws, but this game does enough correctly that I'm rating it this high anyway. I've always hated open worlds and found that in the vast majority of games they just added travel time and were an obstacle to me getting to the actual enjoyable part of the game. Breath of the Wild is perhaps the first game ever that succeeded for me at turning the world into the game and actually making it fun to simply look around and explore.
