“If this were an Ubisoft game, the map would just spooge icons...” 3 years later, Ubisoft releases Immortals Fenyx Rising, a Breath of the Wild-like where the map spooges icons.

[@joganesha4151]

Ahh... Classic Ubisoft

[@Mr-ON]

they could have at least tried to be faithful they made a zelda botw clone and striped away every thing that made this game so spiecal

[@pauloandrade925]

And iits Unbelievably Bland... Thats A Ubi game all right...

[@TheNightquaker]

Yahtzee is prophetic as usual.

[@aquamarinerose5405]

I played fenyx and it's actually decent in other ways (it has an actual combat system that feels satisfying and challenging for one), but it does lose a lot of what made botw special

[@mewtwo2111]

By yahtzee standards this is a positive review

[@YugureDarkwolf]

last one I remember was Portal..

[@trainer-mana]

"Undertale is a GOOD game..." -Yahtzee

[@dagroth123]

i got that feeling too and, given this isnt a mario-rpg AND is a nintendo product, the only way i'd be more surprised is if the game was also a FPS. wait, how does link control the bow? where is the Illuminati emotes.

[@marktaylor6491]

Mewtwo21 And all the more mainstream reviewers have been giving it five stars. Which must mean that its kind of okay.

[@doctoreggnog6644]

This game must be really good. Maybe I'll get it in a couple decades when the Switch is 60 dollars.

[@scoobertdoobert876]

Yahtzee has it figured out. He can review nintendo games without showing gameplay with immense success.

[@TheReZisTLust]

I dunno that jumping off the tutorial level seemed pretty realistic

[@aelechko]

He never shows gameplay. If you look close it's animation

[@ThatGuy1805]

'The controls having more syncing issues that the Titanic' That line was truly amazing.

[@alkoyyy]

5:06 He says air molecule, but the video clearly shows a water molecule!

[@Thecreeper49YT]

The air consists of 0.001%-5% water vapor

[@anexplosion5436]

I didn't notice, im a whale biologist, not a scientist.

[@IamGEORGEtheDON]

Water vapour?

[@killerassassinx5x]

Matthias Schmitt Well air isn't a molecule in and of itself. Air is composed of stuff like oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. Water vapor would be very prevalent in the air as well, so it's not technically incorrect.

[@Thecreeper49YT]

What about it?

[@Soulless261]

Soo, to the new viewers and or people who doesn't speak Yahtzeeish, (translated from Yahtzeeish) Nintendo Switch isn't worth it yet and Zeld BotW is pretty good.

[@nemtudom5074]

While i can speak yahtzeeish, its very nice of you to sum it up for the filthy casuals. You should do it for every video of his! (From now on that is, i dont expect you to go back and do it for all his older videos, that would be insane)

[@Enchie]

nem tudom He would be at it for the next week. He wouldn't be able to speak English ever again after that though.

[@mrWendybird]

Soulless_ _ "Yahtzeenese" sounds better.

[@ilikemorestuff]

And this is a comment

[@amihartz]

Most consoles aren't worth buying at launch unless you're a fan or a collector. There's always an early bug fixing phase as well as lack of games, so for the average consumer it's always best to wait at least a few months.

[@CNightmare072]

3:34 Oh wow he 100% called in his Fenyx Rising review

[@dvirarazi7351]

I just noticed that although you're called Zero Punctuation, you've got a huge exclamation mark in your logo

[@miguelpereira9859]

*Irony

[@Alex-24610]

Dvir Arazi come on man, keep up

[@kyle857]

Dvir Arazi Holy fuck

[@JeveGreen]

I would tell you to fuck off, but that's actually kinda funny. XD

[@ElecTrishian924]

Inside one of those circles with a line through them that signify "enough of this nonsense," yeah.

[@darthlobster]

Little did we know that with the advent of Nintendo Labo, the part about controlling it with a Fisher Price piano would come true.

[@dizzypro4974]

That's what I came to comment!

[@jlb4685]

The first 30 hours of Zelda were genuinely amazing. The excitement, the wonder, the lust for finding out what's underneath every rock and inside every chest. The following 30 hours were repeating the previous 30 hours and it slowly began to itch at me how I couldn't get that magic feeling back. Kinda like how heroin addicts say they can never get that first time feeling back after the first hit.

[@samuelstephens6904]

Jamie Borbely Yeah, there's not a lot of variety to the game. It doesn't take long for the pattern of what to expect from shrines, enemies, environments, etc. to sink in. I'm still having a lot of fun with it, but it's not blowing my mind with every new area like previous games in the series did.

[@First-Last_name]

I finished it in like 2 hours my first time. It's 30 hours to do all the dungeons?

[@Tjosenn]

@@First-Last_name My question is, why do you willingly speedrun a game the first time you play it?

[@First-Last_name]

@@Tjosenn willingly? I jumped in blind, did a few dungeons, then went to the big scary castle. Boss was reasonably easy. Had no idea I was beating the end game boss. However once I did I had 0 interest in another playthrough. What's even the point in doing all the dungeons if you only need a few things to beat the boss with ease? Like 3 dungeons and your golden.

[@aelechko]

​​@@First-Last_name you didn't know something named ganon was the final boss? Jumped in blind 6 years after it came out? Story is full of holes son. Nobody's buying it and you shouldn't be selling it.

[@miggiepatateatomique]

"You can never have enough towers! my games are full of them. My dog is named tower...." I laughed so hard and rewatched it 10 times

[@billveusay9423]

@Deception Thundercracker WELL ANYWAY !

[@billveusay9423]

When I went to paris, I licked every screw of the Eiffel tower

[@chrisray4748]

I imagine that Breath of the Wild was actually Nintendo responding to the people that say "Zelda is too linear and holds your hand too much" by making the complete opposite of that and saying "is this what you neck beards fucking want?"

[@riokollivier]

You’re actually not that far off. BOTW was influenced by the reception to Skyward Sword.

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

And the answer was apparently 'yes' with great enthusiasm.

[@blakksheep736]

​@@KingOfElectricNinjasfollowed by "more!"

[@TedWilder]

I thought it was a redo of the original 1984 game

[@pretends2know]

I wanted to come back to this in the year 2020 to say that characterizing Ganon in this game as a force of nature plaguing the land is the kind of villain that I can relate to. Thanks Coronavirus.

[@lukeskywalker987]

Nah it's not too accurate. Maybe we'll get one in BOTW2 where Ganon is a terrible but somewhat manageable threat made infinitely worse by fuckwits who can't comprehend the ridiculous instruction to wear their "anti-ganon charms."

[@lukeskywalker987]

@@amunago080 Well speak of the fuckwit...

[@ChalenaRose]

99.99 percent survival rate is a plague to you? And I assume the other comment is a reference to masks that litteraly don't do anything expect fill up land fills. Fuckwits the both of you.

[@blakksheep736]

With TotK out and Ganon so literally plaguing the land people are actually becoming physically ill from his presence, this is even more true.

[@blakksheep736]

​@@lukeskywalker987well, we didn't, but you aren't entirely wrong.

[@MrPhange]

For my entire life I've wanted a console that could also be portable (and not just a handheld approximating a console). So yes, I did ask for it.

[@PSIHedgehogChris]

No, Yahtz, Link walking forward and falling off the tower of his own volition wasn't the Joycon's connection, that was good old Joycon Drift.

[@pftburchell5197]

More syncing issues then the Titanic. I loved that.

[@icyclimber4215]

Jesus Christ, a nintendo review that wasn't about to put it so far in the ground you could see it from china? Who the hell put you in a happy mood?

[@hellsingfan89]

lithium 1817 The nintendo hookers were expensive, so there is that.

[@typacsk]

I just want to point out that it is entirely coincidental that he has a girlfriend now.

[@tobaccoroad2291]

lithium 1817 Beating a dead horse is fun but at some point you've spent enough time with it to start a lengthy courtship and have a marriage and kids.

[@b3rz3rk3r9]

Seeing as it's Japanese, wouldn't it be so put into the ground it ends up in Myrtle Beach?

[@gizmofrompizmo2177]

I get the feeling that the problem with figuring out if the Switch is a good product or not is that on one side you've got Nintendo fans who will forgive Nintendo for every design flaw and dodgy quality control and you've got Nintendo haters who will hate anything Nintendo puts out no matter what because they're obsessed with seeing Zelda on a PS4 and will blow any minor issue into the worse thing ever. It's really hard to get any hard data.

[@skuzzyj]

Gizmo fromPizmo I'm Nintendo agnostic, for the most part. I can acknowledge they might exist but don't bother trying to care because they haven't done anything worth bothering with in so goddamn long that it's an expected disappointment that I'm not about to spend money on. "Oh, you're doing another Mario and Zelda game with your new console? That's about it, isn't it?" I think they should really get behind software and maybe peripherals rather than doing their own home systems anymore. Maybe if they did, I'd actually play one of their games before it's more than a decade old

[@matthewmoore7301]

Honestly, I feel like it's almost impossible to truly evaluate how good a console is or not until we get a better look at the games its got backing it up. Be honest, do you sit down to play your PS4, or do you sit down to play God of War 3? We shouldn't judge the Switch until it's gotten time to settle in the market.

[@Shadow60f]

I like nintendo and their games but I'm a gamer first and foremost and the switch is a great console it just has issues which sadly means that the people who bought it will have to suffer until the lite switch comes out, (yes I went there dood) as for the breath of the wild I haven't even played it myself and can see issues with it but by no means is it a bad game, just flawed, people really need to stop hating and realise that and strangely the same for people who are nintendo/LoZ lovers too dood.

[@matthewmoore7301]

If I had summarize BotW, I would describe it as an incredibly solid core with some little annoyances. Yeah, weapon durability, rain, and stamina are all little, persistent irritations, but you just cannot resist the magic of exploring the world, and being tangibly rewarded for it.

[@matthewmoore7301]

I looked at a list of known Switch games, and there's a lot of promise. Of course, Skyrim is all but confirmed to be released for the Switch, but Bloodstained is also planned, along with a Blazblue game. There were a lot more, but those are the ones that stick out for me.

[@saifis]

I love how everyone has been trained and well versed in Yahtzee to understand that he likes the game through this review.

[@OneOfTheLoveless]

Wdym. He critiques the game because he's a critic it's his job. What about: "it's an absorbing experience" is hard to understand to English speaking people.

[@KelsonArwhi]

"a Fisher Price piano with an egg whisk." (crying from laughing so hard)

[@Ash-gv7uj]

I regularly come back to zp videos for lines like this, staying away just long enough to forget exactly what was said and it always gives me that same kind of laugh.

[@KelsonArwhi]

@@Ash-gv7uj Oh, me too. "Stick a U-bend on their todgers and piss up their own arseholes" is another one of my personal favorites.

[@432pro]

"More syncing issues than the _Titanic_" Yahtzee will kill me someday, I swear it

[@richmahogany1710]

Summed up my initial thoughts on the product well: "Nintendo are vastly overestimating its average user's tendency to leave the house." Maybe it's just a Western thing but I never see people playing handheld video games on anything other than their smartphone. I mean where am I supposed to keep the thing, my purse?

[@thomasshepard7891]

Jack Hoff A good pair of cargo shorts actually holds this pretty comfortably. Granted, you have to put the console in one pocket and the joycons in a side pocket.

[@weregretohio7728]

What looney would want to carry a $500 rig around anyway? And how lame would it be to carry a case or a bookbag for this thing? Haven't played handhelds on the go since I was a kid getting dragged out by my mom. Jesus people, put down the electronics for a moment and stop being afraid to live with your own thoughts... Idk, the whole mobility gimmick is extremely pointless. People talk about bringing it to Cons and shit, but fine, whatever. It's not that big of an improvement. You gonna haul it to the drs office and play for five minutes? Or take it through airport security? Or are you gonna sit out somewhere in public trying to be cool, maybe play basketball games next to a basketball court like the ad suggested, heh.

[@zstick]

+Google Sucks I bought it almost entirely on the promise that I could take good games with me. Phone games lose their luster after a day or two and I haven't been tempted by a portable system since my GBA SP. Honestly I've played this thing at least 10x as much in handheld mode as I have in console mode because it fits my life better than sitting chained to a TV. I also travel for work quite frequently, so taking this on trips was a huge up-side. Not to mention the USB battery packs I already own keep this thing running just fine if I need to play more than three hours at a stretch. Plus using USB-C instead of a terrible proprietary connector is a huge bonus because of cheap and available accessories. I've largely ignored the gaming world since I boxed up my Wii several years ago, but this thing grabbed my attention and I love it. If you haven't played one, maybe reserve judgment until you have because playing for 5 minutes here and there works remarkably well due to the OS's speed, and my console, Joy-Cons, battery pack, cables, and games all fit into a $10 padded zipper case from Amazon that's maybe 3x as thick as the console itself and maybe an extra inch in the W and L measurements. If it's not for you that's perfectly valid, but don't claim "the whole mobility gimmick is extremely pointless" when that's one of the things many people like about it the most. We carry around phones and tablets that cost north of $500 all the time. Why not pack this on your road trip, business trip, etc. as well?

[@astrangeone]

I have a 3DS in my pocket. That's all. I won't travel with a Switch because it's a pain in the ass...

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

Funny thing is that I went to the Kilimanjaro with my switch and played it that night when I was resting.

[@falkierikrascand7784]

If Nintendo claims this video, I am calling for pitchforks and torches.

[@steeledminer616]

Yup. That's my thoughts. Except for the scenery, I felt the areas were diverse enough that I could get a sense of familiarity and nothing overstayed its welcome.

[@anthonyhackett1101]

His switch review was way off though.

[@Hawkeye04300]

To people asking if there's any spoilers: How the hell does one spoil a Zelda game? Link wins, Zelda rescued, evil gone, bla bla bla. It's the same recipe with every damn game form the franchise.

[@samuelstephens6904]

Hawkeye04300 It's not so much about the story, but about particular encounters and moments. There's a lot of neat stuff in this game and it's best to go in not knowing what to expect.

[@hoodedman6579]

Wind Waker had a remotely interesting plot; Majora's Mask had a series of interesting mini-plots. Can't speak for any others though.

[@matthewmuir8884]

Link's Awakening is so well known for its big plot twist that it almost isn't a plot twist anymore (like the fate of Aerith in FF7), Twilight Princess' plot was more a series of setpieces but it too had twists such as Zant being an insane minion of Ganon (that one was a bit disappointing) and Midna being the true ruler of the Twilight Realm (that one was predictable but pretty good).

[@Smellbringer]

Note that, once Tetra became Zelda in Wind Waker she lost her personality. So it's more like like we just traded Ganon having a personality for Zelda having a personality, Also I feel Wind Waker and BOTW have the same amount of personality, though my BOTW refresher playthrough is still fresh and I haven't played Wind Waker since the HD version dropped.

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I'm not sure, the map had a lot of work put in to make all the areas different. Map is quite unique throughout. Only the cliffs look samey, as they do in life. XD

[@denimchicken104]

It’s the shape of the cliffs that offends. All the hills and cliffs are really rounded, like they were built for a Trials game.

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

@@denimchicken104 Yeah, most are like this because they're designed to climb up. If they etch out too far you would fall or run out of stamina. I remember there are a few like that, though. Mostly where you're not meant to go haha

Interesting coming back here from his Immortals Fenyx Rising review where he sounded even more positive about BotW! And its funny that that Ubisoft BotW knockoff did the exact thing he predicted and plastered icons all over.

[@jonathanrist8274]

Calamity Gannon, as everyone and their mother calls him in breath of the wild is a characterless force of evil in this game because he is literally a arguably sentient curse. The character Gannondorf is ancient demon king curse + gerudo. wind waker gannondorf has either gotten rid of said curse or drastically decreased its influence on him, resulting in him having a personality. Calamity Gannon has no personality because it's the curse without Gannondorf as a host, resulting in less of a character and more a mindless evil

[@pappisteve]

But the Gerudo Gannon is there even the npcs will tell you that and the Gerudo hero even tells you that it's him kek

[@weberman173]

the Gerudo Hero said that it was once said that Calamaty Ganon was once a gerudo, she doesn't know for sure because its just a legend. I find everthying about thos great. nothing said is sure, evertyhng is just a legend, rumors, or a tale,

[@mordirit8727]

The Gerudo Hero was just talking about Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time. The society from Hyrule in BotW is one that was advanced and lasted enough to finally notice that the Hero, the Princess and the Demon had been reincarnating since the beginning of time, so they had many "legends" that they found out by learning the stories of the previous iterations of this fight. Ganon tried to take a physical form a thousand years ago and got nuked the fuck out by the guardians and the Celestial Beasts. So the second time he came around he ditched the physical body and just came as a curse to overtake the technology.

[@jameshaas5107]

We know how it works. Still doesn't solve the problem that it made for a rather uninteresting villain, because it lacked characters and dramatic impact.

That will happen with anything. If he were to do this to XBox, it'd be the XBox fans doing this. So on so forth.

[@prw56]

Well, atm there are 0 dislikes

[@110000116699]

TGX Game Reviews he'll probably get ddos like Jim sterling

[@dannykazari]

I'd say he was overall pretty positive for Yahtzee standards. Anybody who gets upset at that is just stupid

[@andrewporter1348]

You released this video on my birthday! thanks man!

[@SnivyTries]

Looks at Traveller's Bow. It snaps into pieces Looks at Traveller's Claymore. Shattered in seconds Looks at Breath of the Wild. Broken into bits.

[@nixiedreamstar]

So is it a 7/10?

[@JessieShadowhold]

This is the most positive review Yahtzee has given a Nintendo game that I can remember.

[@SparksMentalz]

He gave Resident Evil 7 a good review too

[@richardlionerheart1945]

and is rezi 7 a Nintendo game

[@ls200076]

the quest for unusual gibus yes

[@richardlionerheart1945]

now dear Elektron I would like to introduce you to capcom

[@JessieShadowhold]

No, it's not MADE by Nintendo. It's on Nintendo consoles, but not MADE by them. It's made by Capcom and has also showed up on PlayStation consoles as well.

[@ColorExplosive]

These videos will never cease to make me laugh.

[@NachtKaiser666]

Just letting you know that the Switch had the Japanese market in mind when they made it a console/portable hybrid since the Japanese spends arguably 75% if their time away from home. May not make much sense from our perspective, but from theirs, it's a win-win.

[@Inriri]

I disagree with the lack of character. Every npc has their own name and quite a few of them have much to say.

[@Izunundara]

Inriri I have this rock called Cockrocket and it recites the entirety of the Encyclopedia Britannica weekly =Character

[@Inriri]

I'm not sure what point you were trying to make with your idiocy.

[@flamemasterelan]

Honestly, I found the NPCs to be lacking, for the most part. Loved what they did with almost everything else, but the NPCs and, to a lesser extent, the towns, felt like filler. Hopefully Aonuma looks at the Trails/Kiseki series for inspiration on how to build a believable world via NPC interaction.

[@megaman6944]

Inriri if you can't get the simple point he was making then your idiocy is getting in the way

[@Inriri]

Mega Man no one character in the entire game is a walking dictionary. Every character has different dialogue depending on the time of day, what clothes (or lack of) you're wearing, if you helped them against enemies or not, if you've done certain quests. There's even a guy that freaks out if you climb up on the bridge he's near and tries to talk you out of suicide. So no, his point is idiotic and so are you for trying to parrot him.

[@roylee6466]

The problem I have with Zelda reviews on major gaming outlets is how they are always reviewed by huge fans of the series. This applies to any game really with a large fan base. Why do we have super fans reviewing games when we know they'll give a 9 or a 10 because they'll love it unconditionally. Who would these reviews even target? The big Zelda fans would buy it anyways. It would make more sense gonna be people who are minor fans of Zelda at best. So that people that aren't big into the series can see if it's worth their time. I mean this happened with Skyward Sword where critics loved the game but is dislike by a number of fans.

[@ugxsan]

Because if you don't like Zelda games, why do you care about a review of a Zelda game for any other reason to complain? A fan of a particular game series is familiar with what generally makes that series likeable, meaning they can speak to fans of that series on whether or not the new game in that series has anything for them. You don't send someone who has never played a Zelda game before, because they'll have a completely different experience to what 70% or so of their readers are likely to have. You also don't send someone who has a love/hate relationship with the game or a general "meh" reaction to it because they'll be just a biased (believe it or not) since reviews are subjective, anyways.

[@Weezygeeza97]

Roy Lee It's a reviewers job to give people THEIR opinion of the game, and whether or not THEY would recommend it or not. Just because someone is a super fan of something, doesn't mean they're completely incapable of looking at something rationally as seeing what's good and what isn't. Jim Sterling is a big fan of Zelda, and he didn't give it a completely glowing review. The people that attacked him for giving it a 7/10 are the people you don't want reviewing games

[@supermax64]

I agree with your point however, honestly this game is probably the one that could most appeal to random non Zelda fans.

[@flamemasterelan]

You know the worst thing? When a really good game gets a 5/10, just because the person who rated it doesn't like RPG's. You *should* have a fan of the genre or the series rating it, because most people will be wondering how it stacks up against other games in its genre, or its series.

[@williamproto6164]

+Weezygeeza97 I would agree if they actually got fans of every series they had reviews of instead of just always using superfans for the big names to be safe. Look at Yakuza, 0 and Kiwami reviews were universally done by people who admitted to not having played any of the series beforehand.

[@Jim724]

"Big electronic Kit Kat." I lost it.

[@Catslug]

jam was a great book, can't wait for this one

[@HardyRyan]

Sharks are mammals!

[@Shashank7170]

Matthew Hardy what? no.

[@zidanetribal1406]

Matthew Hardy No they're not. Mammals produce milk to feed their young produced by the mammary glands. Hence the name of 'mammals'. Whales do this, dolphins do this, but sharks do not. So that is why sharks are fish, and not mammals.

[@HardyRyan]

Coconuts are hairy and produce milk...coconuts are mammals!

[@zidanetribal1406]

Matthew Hardy … No. For one, Whales and Dolphins aren't hairy and they still are mammals. And two, Coconuts lack the mammary gland that produces the milk.

[@RegretfulDeadMan]

Okay, one thing I very much disagree with Yahtzee on is the "Underestimating how often it's users will take it out of the house" I work a full time job so being able to take a full console level experience on the go is very useful for people with a busy schedule, i.e. most people, I've already seen people in the break room at work playing on the switch, it is a much better idea than yahtzee is giving it credit for

[@dzonialucard]

2:42 that RE7 reference! nice one

[@ZeroMidnightfull]

The "tower" part fkcing killed me I'm dying of laughter

Babby's first Bethesda Open world RPG

[@leafstormblaze9449]

Bethesda games are babies first zelda's, many people i know can't even beat a lot of zelda games cause of the puzzles alone but they love elder scrolls cause it is casual. lol

[@Jangulo157]

why do people in the comments like to hate on games they have never played

[@Carstuff111]

Great review as always, and, I am going to have to find this book....

[@orngjce223]

The reason for the charging port being at the bottom of the screen becomes obvious once you see an accessory they are now selling: a stand that elevates your Switch far enough off the table that you can reasonably plug a cable into the bottom. Oh, and it costs $20. For a piece of plastic with a notch cut in the bottom. Sweet dreams!

Those speedrunner jokes are so, so good. Even the speedrunners themselves have admitted that they are obsessive anti-social psychopaths with their "hobby" 😂. And seriously, just made a quick check on the speedrun Reddit, those guys have already made a fuckton of speedruns for this game. I honestly can't fathom how the hell these speedrunners even figured out the things that they'd done on their speedruns.

[@WalkthruGuides]

Yessss I've been waiting for this! I love it when he tears my favourite games a new one!
