Really mixed feelings about this one. The main quest is excellent but short. The open world/side quest parts are a mix of fun, boring, and annoying. Not as good an open world as, say, Elder Scrolls. I never felt comfortable with the controls the way I did with other Zelda games. I'm sure at some point I'll play it again and like it more.

I was liking it until Link was getting Cold because they added realism to this game when everything else is fake like him time travelling. I played up until the 4 shrines. 17 hours I played. I was only at the very start of this game. I thought cool I am going to go find the shrines. Then obstacle of low temp, he dies. You need to wear better shirts which was not found and eating limited amount of Chili Peppers to raise his temp. Still dying a lot and it's very annoying cuz of it.

a masterpiece of game design only slighted by the lack of structure present in previous titles in the series that slightly diminishes story development

I might change my rating, but thus far the game has been pretty meh. The world is overly vast to the point you're often running across big plains of nothing and the combat encounters are mostly canned. Combat options are pretty one-note and enemy are very simplistic. All the Dungeons are awful physic gimmicks and typical brainless Zelda puzzles. However, item management is interesting and I do like the goofball sandboxy elements of the game so it's not all bad.

It has a lovely realized world that dares you to explore it, but i haven't been into the cartoonish nintendo style for some time, and BotW couldn't change that. I did it all with gusto and get every praise coming its way, but i just don't linger as much on the experience as others do.

amazing game! would be awesome if there was less sexism with some of the NPCs gender roles though (although there still are some really cool female characters.) but it's already really pretty good on gender equality, especially compared with other games today.

Fun combat, great exploration. At its best when you are stumbling upon new things like sand monsters, a parrot playing an accordion, or dragons silently flying by.

Maybe I'd love it, if I had played during it's hype, but in 2019/2020 it feels... kinda dated, actually. Let's hope the sequel fixes it's shortcomings AND GODDAMN weapon durability does not mean every sword has to be made out of glass.

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great open-world game. As a pure video game, it falls short of being great overall. It pushes the open-world concepts well past what western developers do but it is still trapped in that formula, often for the worse. For every handful of transcendent innovations, it completely bungles another. While I think this is an incredible step forward for Nintendo, they still have work to do to make a truly great game and I am rooting for it to happen.

Over-hyped. Completely unbalanced with a largely empty world.

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.

Ambitious and very well-constructed, but possessing of too many niggling flaws that detract from enjoying certain aspects.

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.

Feels like it's made by people who hate you. Weapon durability, stamina, rain, weather effects, inventory management... why? Why not make a fun game?

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.

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.

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.
