I was anticipating a classic adventure when I sat down with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, readying myself to learn all the new mechanics the game would throw at me. I mentally prepared myself to fight through puzzle after puzzle in labyrinths of increasing complexity and confusion.

Though it may be the final game for the Wii U, this monumental title ushers in a new dawn of gaming on the Switch which will surely be remembered as one of the greatest launch titles in history.

Masterful open-world design; Aesthetically perfect; Unparalleled exploration; Reinvention done right

Minor technical blemishes; Voicework is a mixed blessing; It has to end at some point

Great game, I highly recommend this product it is great

Oh my god this game is so good. When you go back to other games you will still be thinking about Zelda BotW and be thinking why can't it be like THAT. I wasn't sure at first but the non-linear progression aspect is awesome. No grinding of content you don't want just to progress. Do what you want to do just for fun. And fun it is. Long time gamers who are fatigued at exploring and play for achieving will go back to the days of their first games and just love exploring. I haven't had that since picking up my first epic open game as a teenager. I can't recommend this game enough. I hope it's a game changer and future games use aspects of BotW because honestly I never knew I wanted a game like this but now it's all I want. And more of it. Buy this.

Huge and interactive open world; incredibly fun; impressive attention to detail

Frame rate issues; motion controls are poorly implemented

10/10 would Zelda again.

The world doesn't need another Breath of the Wild review, but it's getting one anyway. There's a reason – many reasons, in fact – that virtually everybody who plays this game hails it as one of the bestest ever made. The main one is, well… it is.

However you characterize it -- rebirth, change of direction, or coming of age -- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the most mature game in the series' long history. It is a difficult game from a combat and survival perspective, and a challenging game in the amount of information that...

We've been playing a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , mostly on Nintendo Switch. Yet not everyone is buying into Nintendo's latest hardware yet, and there have been plenty of fair questions around how this game shapes up on its original home - the Wii U.

By overwhelming players with tons of stuff to do, see, and collect in a "free" zone, open-world video games speciously condition us to believe that more is better. The audiovisual beauty alone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is liable to convince you that this is actually true.
