Zeruda no Densetsu Buresu obu za Wairudo

IMDb isn't really a site designed for people to rate video games, but this entry is too much fun to not talk about, so I'll write a review anyways. If you look deeper into my ratings you'll notice how I gave all the Zelda games I've played a perfect 10. I love the series' storytelling, quirky characters, engaging puzzles and charming level designs, but I do often wonder if these games deserve such a high rating. They do slightly suffer from repetition (Ganon must have multiple lives!), and there are a few irritating glitches that can hinder my overall enjoyment. Which is fine because, after buying the Nintendo Switch and trying this game out for a few good hours, I think this game is worth all the hype. And what hype it has!

In short, this game is an absolute blast. Open-world games have been done before (Skyrim), yet every little detail, every little technique, and the various ways you could go about on your adventure make this huge world feel fresh and exciting. There is so much to do in this game, and it never gets boring! Link could climb up steep cliffs, transport to towers, paraglide, and enter "Shrines" to solve puzzles by using magic in clever ways. Even the horse-riding was fun! I love how immersive this world is, because everything (graphics, controls, gameplay) is so flawlessly executed and so absorbing. It breaks a few video game conventions we're so used to, making this game an exciting, entertaining ride filled with smooth game-play and fun characters.

I haven't gotten too deep into the game yet, so I can't really comment on the main storyline too much. So far it has the typical Zelda formula, but with an interesting techno-twist that doesn't feel misplaced. The character interactions are natural, and the quests push the story forward instead of making them feel like filler. So far a good start.

Overall, this game is innovative, breathtaking, challenging, imaginative and endlessly addicting. I believe this is one of Nintendo's most well-crafted games they've made, and I'm not saying this out of pure nostalgia. If you're a Zelda fan, a casual gamer, or someone that thirsts for adventure, this is a great choice.

A huge problem with previous Zelda games is the limited freedom. Nintendo completely changed that with Breath of the Wild.

As soon as you walk into the endless world of BOTW, EVERYWHERE you see you can visit, heck if you want to, you can run in and defeat Ganon without anything! It truly is a change to the Zelda series. The story-line is great and the cut-scenes with voice acting make it seem that much more interesting. Plus, with the Switch, you can play a major console game on the GO! (Beat that Horizon Zero Dawn and any other Switchless console/PC game.)

Another great thing about BOTW is all of the side quests, shrines, korok seeds, DLC and MORE! So when you finish the main quest you haven't finished the game. There are still places you can visit and hundreds of things you can do among all of the side quests, DLC, etc.

No game is perfect, it does have some flaws such as the occasional drop of frame rate however it has improved and doesn't disrupt the experience.

Overall, it's an excellent game for young to old, zero Zelda experience to an Ultra Zelda Fanboy and non-gamer to hardcore gamer.

This game places you in the middle of a massive land so detailed and beautiful that it truly depresses you that it's not real. There are areas where the temperature goes down or up and you have to deal with it. It rains and that affects things like climbing (speaking of climbing, you can climb almost every surface in the game). You have stamina which makes you have to think about how you will get from point a to point b. The game makes you think the way you would if you were truly in the wild.

On other notes, the story's great, the npcs and all fun, the combat is excellent, and the shrines are a real treat. But the best part about this game is the freedom you feel of simply being in the great outdoors where you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.

Wow. This game may not be perfect, but it's damn near it. Possibly the best launch title for a game system ever. But if you're not quite sold on the Switch, I would get a Wii U, some games, and BOTW. Everything about this game is the most perfect it could've been. Screw XBONE, PS4, and PC. You don't have BOTW

This game is everything I wanted with an video game. The exploration, the lore and gameplay is just well done. It hade been a long time since I first played it and I recently picked it up again and is still just as amazed as the first time.
