The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Reviews
Link's latest adventure isn't without its wrinkles thanks to unnecessary padding, an annoying durability system, and odd difficulty. In the face of the likes of Horizon Zero Dawn, The Witcher 3, and even Final Fantasy XV, it comes off a bit short.
Overall, Breath of the Wild isn't necessarily a bad game. I enjoyed a lot of what I played, actual dungeons were relatively fun and initial encounters with some shrines and areas were pretty enjoyable. But I can honestly say that I have a lot of issues with how the game works and how Nintendo setup certain aspects, and I refuse to overlook them like everyone else has "because Nintendo".
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may have abandoned the moments and epic battles of the giant and chosen to take a simpler and clearer path, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with a journey and a challenge more than spectacular.

With a heart-warming storyline filled with emotion, drama and love in every cutscene, Breath of the Wild is the defining cornerstone of the series’ future. From the very first Legend of Zelda to Skyward Sword, the series has been moving towards this level of freedom since its incarnation. It may be dangerous to go alone, but this bold move from Nintendo has certainly paid off, and it’s worth every single rupee.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a good reason to buy the Nintendo Switch. It's not a perfect game, but it doesn't even exist, and we don't need one more or less. We need a game where every other quest comes with joy and sadness because we know we are one step closer to the goal. We need a game that we normally think about during the day and imagine what awaits us tomorrow or after we get back from work. And that's exactly the new Zelda is.

Nintendo in its purest and most enjoyable form. The Japanese show doubters that they still count in the stakes, and although they don't aim for HDR/4K, they can offer standard-setting productions. You have to play!

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.
Eighteenth entry in The Legend of Zelda's franchise has shown how a perfect video game feels like and it makes us wonder more than it amazes us. An epic and relatable story, a deep and smooth gameplay, spectacular visuals and lovely tunes combined with the Nintendo's magical touch; result in the ultimate gaming experience. Nintendo once again proved that they know what a true video game is and how to make one better than anyone. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, despite its genre and platform, should be played and enjoyed.

Breath of the Wild takes all the goods from the past titles and expands upon them. While it feels like previous titles, it oozes originality. Its beautiful open world design is like nothing we have ever seen and it's full of surprises. Every time you feel like you've got it all, it slaps you with more reasons to explore. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild not only exceeds expectations, it greatly surpasses it. It's truly a treat for fans and a great starting point to get into the Zelda universe.

There is a theory that creates a line between magic and video games; and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here to show us that this isn't just a childish thought. There are tons of wonderful content that keep you about over 100 hours. There isn't anything called technical issues or weird bugs in this masterpiece and graphics are the most beautiful thing that we saw from an 8 generation game so far.

Breath of the Wild is a bold and powerful testament to Nintendo’s work. A grand adventure that takes a lot of risks and haves them pay off. An utterly engrossing swan song for the Wii U and a promise for the future of the Nintendo Switch. A once in a lifetime experience that soars above any minor issues it has to take its place as a modern classic.
Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a must-own game for fans and non-fans of the franchise, especially if you're planning to get a Nintendo Switch. Its huge open world and engaging story gives the title an epic scale that hasn't been seen in a Nintendo game for quite some time.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is yours to experience however you want. It’s a new generation of Zelda, and it’s a whole new breed of open world gaming. And it’s brilliant.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is undoubtedly the most ambitious project to come from Nintendo since Super Mario 64 revitalised the platformer, more than two decades ago. Its first attempt to bring Zelda into the open-world era isn't just a formidable attempt, it's one that ticks all the right boxes and shows other, more genre-seasoned, developers how it should be done. If it really is the last major title that the Wii U ever sees, then it's a fantastic way to bow out - The Legend of Zelda has never been so perfect.
Breath of the Wild does what Ocarina of Time did back in 1998: it creates a new formula for future Zeldas to follow. Fans of action-adventure titles and The Legend of Zelda should play it as soon as possible.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild really is a joy to play. It's a Zelda game that is sure to satisfy those who've had it circled in their calendars all these years, but even if you've never been a fan of the franchise, this is an excellent place to start.
Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is far from the perfect game, but it's still a very good game that is worth your money. If you're a fan of prior Zelda games however you might need to wary of Breath Of The Wild as it's changed and added a lot of features that some may feel move away from what made Zelda the franchise it is. Sometimes change is good, but I felt there was too many unnecessary changes in the game which made the game not feel like a Zelda game.
Breath of the Wild brings an enormous amount of fun and joy in all of its elements, it will be remembered for many years to come much like Ocarina of Time before it.
