The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

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.

Wow this is just an amazing game i love it so much i do not remember seeing an amazing game like the legend of zelda Just a creative game at an open world level at the highest level I could really imagine gameplay I did not know and I really like to know I have been a fan for years and I just have not been such a really good game in terms of industry and good in my opinion 10 out of 10 is without a doubt really among my favorite games I've finished it three times already and it took me a full time to finish it but overall I enjoyed every moment and I think every good Zelda player dealing with Nintendo must play this game.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an amazing game that will surely be seen as a go-to definition of open-world gaming comparable to Grand Theft Auto or Super Mario 64; and even a little Skyrim-esque in parts. Breath of the Wild feels like a Zelda game, but also feels like an adaptation of the games by Hayao Miyazaki's team at Studio Ghibli. This game is unimaginably gorgeous to look at and play. Its scope is nearly quadruple that of Ocarina of Time (and I freaking LOVE Ocarina of Time), and it's such an enormous game that I wonder if I'd dare to say that it's even BIGGER than G.T.A. V. Also it's the launch title that made the Nintendo Switch SOAR to the top of the charts!

Get this game if you're a human being with a pulse and who has a strong love for all things video-games. Also, this is THE Zelda game for anime fans to get into.

What can I say besides "what a god damn excellent game" as a Zelda and open world game fan I was more than satisfied!

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.
