11 Hilariously Bad Reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[@angelschair9388]

The person who said there's no voice acting must have *LITERALLY* never played the game, as the first 5 seconds has Zelda talk.

[@TheBrutalSax]

Never played the game. Never even seen the trailers for the game (cause all of them had voice acting I believe). Probably just saw the posters for it, and on the switch ads.

[@Gameboynitro]

That just proves that review is either a troll or just trying to take down the reputation of the game for whatever reason.

[@shadysif6220]

Metaphorically speaking there wasn't any voice acting. That takes consistent talent and direction, they had elements of both at times, but they never could put it all together

[@uprightthumbs5285]

and also never played a single other zelda game because they have never had voice acting...

[@somanyraquazas3167]

People who think anything but realistic graphics are bad really annoy me... Realistic graphics wouldn't fit either the target demographic or game play , just like how pokemon wouldn't work if the designs were realistic and they actually ripped each other to shreds.

[@jibraillaksmono3075]

I agree! oh also realistic graphics are really good to look at at the time of the games release, but after about 4-5 years people will came back to the game and most of the time would say "ugh look at this game" for example gta iv. While "childish" or "art-style" graphic usually last longer like wind waker. (:

[@blahgoose3237]

Realistic graphics look disgusting in a video game.

[@JGar453]

I’ll play Tetris over Call of Duty, graphics don’t mean anything

[@knochenonkel551]

I really like your pokemon comparison. made me laugh.

[@thanesmashmontages412]

I'd be okay with a little blood and battle scars in Pokemon, tbh. Not gore, just signs that they've been in a tough fight.

[@NoahStolee]

"Recycled old Zelda characters" yeah, they really went downhill when they put Zelda in their Zelda game.

[@CipherAres]

Y no preencess pitch. 0/10 cuz Zelda game uses chars from same series. Robbie wants to have a word with them btw.

[@eversplode7792]

der nu robbi rotton in gam. he populur cus maro said he like robie and he from Metroid which da seres da botw ih in dey jus use Zelda n link n ganon n bettle and EVERYONE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE N THE GAME

[@flamingmanure]

they're right though. nintendo are the cheapest and laziest in that regard. rehashing the same games and characters for over 3 decades gets old. try to take your BS bias goggles off and think rationally next time. mechanically speaking, nintendo are the best though.

[@sindrawolf2345]

Every one of their "Rehashes" are different though. MM had masks, Wind Waker had too many to name, TP had wolf link, Skyward sword had the giant birds and islands in the sky. Of course that's not even all of the changes. Actually as far as Zelda is concerned They're all different characters. All the links are different (Mind a few sequels OOt/MM, Zelda 1/2) and all the Zeldas are too with different personalities. The only character that's really the same is Ganon and even HE was different in some games. Heck he wasn't even IN all the games. Mario, yeah always the same guys. But even Mario changes mechanics around.

[@theonethatwon8946]

AH silver but think what would a Mario or Zelda game be without FREAKING MARIO OR ZELDA

[@GANTZ100pts]

Cortez Pierson It is, it's absolutely pathetic. And all of those sad and pathetic people need to watch a video called Graphics vs. Aesthetics. Because they might actually learn something. Then again that video uses some big words so It might just go over their head.

[@SpadeOfNades]

GANTZ100pts I watched the video and it is really important for people to watch it so they won't moan like 3 year olds

[@galeden5700]

I find the Artistic style beautiful myself, plus the attention they put into its environments pays off wonderfully, the way the grass moves in the wind, the way Lightning strikes metalic objects in a storm, It more than makes up for its supposed "Bag graphics".

Gamers are confused people.

[@kaelharwood4804]

they probably thought the whole game was the opening chamber

[@Blackpaper92]

I have a friend who actually thinks like this. He played for 5 hours, and then left the game for horizon: zero dawn, because zelda were too easy in his opinion and nothing to do. Maybe some people don't get, that the great plateau is some kind of tutorial, and the whole game doesn't force you to go a strict path.

[@XANA520]

I think the last review, the guy who played 8 hours, never got off the Great Plateau.

[@willcollison1144]

I had to play for 50 hours to beat first time... playing again and only have played for for 5 hours and just got to karuko village for memories. This guy that played for 8 hours must have just gone straight to gannon or something like that

On the Amazon page for the game, there is some soccer mom getting all triggered that the game is "demonic and satanic" because it involves spirits. It's hillarious.

[@bigevilshark1958]

TheAngryMudkip MudkipsForLife I need to see this

[@bloodbornesurvivor6399]

Saying the graphics are bad is a stupid criticism since the game follows a art style instead of being life like this helps make the game timeless since the graphics won't age badly or become outdated Windwaker has aged really well and looks newer than Twilight Princess even though twilight princess is the newer game this is because of Windwakers art style

[@Codarius]

Bloodborne Survivor I’m playing Wind Waker right now and it’s hard to believe it came out 15 years ago.

[@cricketfanboy2286]

plus it had to use same graphics for wii u which held it back on switch

[@SirSvotter]

The graphics DO look more realistic than in tww and that's why ie an one-shade-only stone texture looks kinda weird and washed out. I do agree with that the graphics are not perfect, most of the areas look better from far away and when u get close it looks like the texture is just overstretched sometimes.

[@_Shay_]

Bloodborne Survivor ikr plus with the HD remake wind waker is only beat by Botw

[@FlatoutBeatZ]

Bloodborne Survivor very good point, wind waker and botw both share a very similar style with cartoonish characters Which will make them never look old. The characters pop out from the more heavily detailed graphics of the world around you

[@jurie6314]

I laugh at the people who never got off the great plateau

[@shadowstriker6506]

I mean my cousin spent over 500 hours on it… decides to let me play a new game he started IMMEDIATELY gets an armor piece (forgot the name, it keeps you warm early game) and a side quest he missed

[@BltchErica]

Why does every asshole want realistic graphics? Wouldn't you want a game to look like a game? The art style in this game is beautiful and feels smooth.

[@frisbeans9144]

I-I don't know...

[@melteddali8000]

Gurosama Bltch If every video game isn’t Shooter McGunman goes to war with a grayscale palette then it obviously sucks

[@henryward2092]

I think it’s a matter of preference. Personally I prefer realistic graphics, but I still think this is a great game. Generally speaking, I think realistic graphics tend to appeal better to the older gaming crowd. When I play Breath of the Wild I find myself thinking damn what if this game had graphics similar to Skyrim? For example. That would be great IMO

[@NinjaTyler]

Gurosama Bltch only thing I don’t like is the rock and cliff textures kinda suck and water could use more animations to it, it’s sadly static, no ripples or visible currents or little waves and such

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

I dislike the art style, but I completely agree.

[@Redheadgamergirl1]

I've been playing Zelda since i was 5 years old, first game i picked up? Ocarina of time, my dad had it, bought it when it came out in 1998 and when i was old enough to figure out what it was, he walked me through playing it, sure he had to beat Bongo for me literally every time i got up to it but the rest of it? i'd work out myself. Yes... even the water temple (i now have the Water Medallion tattooed onto my skin). I've never had a Zelda game that i couldn't complete within a week Ocarina of time? i can do in a day. Twilight princess? give me a weekend Skyward sword? i'd completed that game two days after i got it, on an early release cause i pre-ordered it (technically i beat it a day after it was released to the public, side quests and goddess cubes all completed) Majora's mask took me a bit longer, that took me half a week right there but that game was FUCKED UP yo. Wind Waker? Give me a weekend. etc etc... seriously it's never been longer than a week. This? Breath of the wild? Three weeks in? I'm still playing it. Yes i've completed the main storyline (took me just OVER a week) Ganon can go suck a great big bag of dicks in the afterlife but... i'm still finding new stuff everywhere I go! I CLIMBED DEATH MOUNTAIN FROM THE GROUND UP TODAY! No winding path round it, straight up a cliff face just cause I could. I found the ruins of Lon Lon Ranch today surrounded by guardians and monsters on horse back and GOD did it hurt to see it like that (i killed THEM ALL because HOW DARE THEY STAND WHERE IT STOOD). The weapons system is great, it is, and while i do wish they'd have used some of the oldie but goodie weapons as 'fixable' weapons scattered around it's nice to see the games EVOLVING in ways we wouldn't have expected them to with the use of consumable weaponry because it gives you a sense of SURVIVAL, Link is on his own, unlike other games he doesn't even have a companion to help him, he's 100 years out of his time, he has no memories no friends no NOTHING in this world... his sole purpose is to survive, find a way no matter what and save what's left of Hyrule, there's no big ass tree at the beginning telling you what you are, you LEARN what you are, WHO you are through scattered memories and exploration. There's no hand holding in this game, the most you get is "go find three shrines and i'll give you this paraglider so you can get off this big ass rock" that's IT. Do i wish there were more big dungeons like the other games? a two part storyline like Ocarina of time with it's first three then mini dungeons and then later temples, or Twilight princess with its twilight relic pieces and mirror shards, or hell even wind waker with it's three pearls two activation songs and that whole searching the ocean for triforce shards Maybe, but god i'm more than happy to just climb a damn mountain and get a damn good look at this beautiful world like never before. i'd legit pay for DLC that gives you the ability to explore hyrule before everything went to shit though someone gimmie that.

[@cennisen]

I found the water temple as my favorite temple in the game (OoT). It was a unique concept and I don't see what the complaint is about, it was generally fun for me with the design. My only flaw with it was the room with six tektites that always seemed to scare me whenever I tried to pass ;-;

[@piculra7441]

No guide? Well...impa? I guess?

[@alisethera9349]

I kind of want a great sea DLC. At least some kind of expansion on the boats mechanic. I thought there was going to be some kind of archipelago in the south east of the map. I hoped for a boss battle of the boat.

[@sweetdreams2049]

I thought OOT came out in 1998 I must be off 😯 it was also my first game and can also complete it quickly as well. I love exploring BOTW I feel like I shouldn't rush in it. I love the atmosphere

[@goldencash4]

J Westaroo well there is going to be another story with DLC

[@Undim]

I actually love the graphics style BOTW has. And I'd go far as to say that if most games had photo realistic graphics then it would take away from the creativity heavily, and would be very boring to look at.

[@Undim]

To make a better point, which art work is better? portraits, or starry night, the scream and mona lisa? Plus Nintendo is, at the most part, the platform of creativity. And people complaining that the game doesn't have crazy fps is ridiculous. Its a portable console, it's not gonna have crazy stats. Its come a HELL of a lot far from the ds and 3ds. Pokemon sun and moon look very pixelated and I see nobody complaining about that. The switch does have its mistakes, and ik they will fix them (what company wouldn't?) And nintendo has made bad games in the past, but this is far from one of them.

[@Chameleonxx3]

Artstyle is amazing, I just wish it was clean and technical better. Even the best artstyle slightly fails if your game isn't looking clean.

[@jasongarrett768]

The Extra Credits video on Aesthetics vs Graphics and IIRC the Errant Signal video on Photorealism is something more gamers should watch tbh. Personally I love that they went Ghibli Zelda with this one.

[@RoksTheWolf]

To be honest, if they made the graphics hyper-realistic then a lot of Sony fanboys would just be like *NINTEND0 IS C0PYING H0RIZ0N ZER0 DAWN 0/10*

[@SteveSmith-sd5hq]

Undim. I love the graphics style, but I'd have to disagree about realistic graphic being boring. When I was in the process of beating Unchanged 4, I was constantly stopping and looking at the landscape. It looked so amazingly real, it was hard to believe sometimes.

[@adambarham9114]

I actually spent a good hour on the plateau finishing stuff because I kept falling into the cold water trying to cross the river like a stubborn psycho...needless to say I succeeded once I got that dang metal plate to stay still. Really the only legitimately frustrating thing I found in the game is how wonky the physics engine feels at times. It never changes or anything but when its not doing what you want it to you start to want to punch things.

I've only made it to Kakariko Village, so far, but from my time exploring the Great Plateau, I can say the graphics are amazing, and the frame rate does occasionally drop in areas with a ton of grass. As soon as the game came out I spoiled the story for myself, so I can already say that was great. The open world is HUGE with a ton of stuff to explore. The people writing these reviews must have barely even touched the game.

I think its more about the quality of those dungeons then the number. Dungeons were dangerous, themed dungeons that had a different vibe. They included unique items, new enemies, new tactics to use and cool bosses. I think the new Zelda kinda lost that to be honest.

Not a game reviewer (not professionally anyway, but neither were they) but I am good and I did pay attention. I payed attention through 500 hours across four playthroughs. The game is not 10/10 material. But I’m the kind of person who doesn’t believe in perfect 10/10 reviews. At the very most, it’s worth 7/10, but my personal rating is 3/10 for reasons far too length to type out here.

I'll give a real critical review. The voice acting is pretty meh, voice acted scenes does somewhat pull me out of the immersion because of this. Rewards for Side-Quests are pretty much useless, a few rupees or a bad meal, wish there were better rewards for completing these quests. The story overall isn't that good, but zelda games have never had amazing stories to begin with. And the characters are generic and easily forgettable. It does suffer from framerate drops at certain times, but this is very rarely and only happens for a second or two so no big deal. The open world does feel a little empty after a time. Only thing to find is a korok seed puzzle you've seen 5 times allready, a wandering merchant that sell stuff you don't need, tressure chests with a weapon you don't have inventory for, and an enemy base with the same 3 enemies every other base has. Shrines get repetitive, after the first 20 you've kinda seen them all. Oh and nothing is more infuriating then rain as you are trying to reach a mountain top. All that said, this is my favorite game of the year. Why? I can't rightly say, just wandering around, discovering new ways of doing things. Getting sweet one shot revenge on those guardians that terrified me at the beginning. finally running head strong into battle with the lynels. Or seeing my horse kick an ugly little bokoblin across the field. Its easy to get lost in this empty world. And hey if zelda has been fighting this guy for a hundred years, she can wait a few weeks while I collect seeds for a big rootdude. 8/10

[@ih8techlorine922]

samsote just a game though, and can you tell me the breath of the wild story pls?

[@kaweewattt]

Exactly this!

[@michaelolegario6399]

Bravo. This is a review I can respect especially since you provided claims backed up by evidence. Even though I disagree with things, I am aware of the flaws. Some flaws may be seen as pluses for people and vice versa. Example being the shrines: I saw them all as mini dungeons similar to the dungeons of Zelda's past and I was fine with the large amount of them scattered throughout Hyrule. The spirit orbs rewarded even acted as your usual Zelda heart pieces, with 4 of them equaling a heart container or stamina vessel. People complained about only for main quest dungeons. Me: Yes they were fun and creative and very enjoyable, but a flaw for me was that they were pretty short. Besides even though its only 4 dungeons, the game itself is still complete to keep you occupied with other things. I see the few main dungeons as similar to Zelda: Majoras Mask. Breath of the Wild is still my game of the year as well and deserves the 10 despite its flaws. 10/10 doesn't necessarily mean a perfect game because there is no such thing. This reminded me of Zelda 1 except in the modern day open world setting. There was barely any handholding and linearity in Breath of the Wild and even the 8 bit technically open world Zelda 1 of the 1980s which I truly loved for discovery and exploration.

[@sagehanson190]

I mean I respect this review, but how *dare* you say the Zelda stories aren't very good!? I think twilight princess's story was absolutely astounding. and skyward sword's story was amazing as well. OoT's story was meh, but MM had a very deep and heart wrenching story. WW was all about adventure and had an awesome, light feeling to it. I cannot believe u think the Zelda storytelling, (something which Nintendo made an entire *BOOK* over) is low tier. Edit: Okay I over reacted a bit. and this was a relatable and good review, but why do u think the Zelda storytelling is bad? Please share why u think this, as I may change my mind on the matter and love to see other people's perspectives

Did that guy who played for 8 hours not get off the great plateau? That sounds like a review for someone who didn't get off the great plateau but I just can't imagine that someone could spend 8 hours there. Edit: yes you definitely can spend 8 hours there but if you're playing the game and think it's holding your hand too much wouldn't you wanna get to the point where you can explore the rest of the world? I probably should have said that I can't imagine that guy willingly spending 8 hours there.

[@AbbbezOlsson]

The only 2 problems that I found with the game is the fps drop which isn't a good thing but nothing game braking since I'm sorta okay with 20 fps But the problem is the low resolution, It's just annoying when you notice a square pixel right in the immersion of the game, It's better then Skyward sword in that aspect but still there which I kinda find odd that they can't seem to want higher resolution.

[@eversplode7792]

problems for me= fps drop like once every 2 days and I cant figure out how to get through the yiga clan hide out. that's it. that's pretty much 10/10 or 9.9999999999999999999999999999/10

The best ones were the people who complained about BOTH graphics and frame rate. If you have amazing, super HD graphics it'll have bad frame rate. If you want the game to run seamlessly don't be surprised when the lighting quality, textures, and models look like stick figures. I like that Nintendo chose to balance out these features by making the graphic pretty good and the frame rate moderate. Plus the lighting and physics engine this game runs is amazing.

What I find interesting about the guy arguing that the lack of voice acting ruins immersion is that often the most immersive experiences can be found in books. Because it's actually quite immersive to think of voices to fit a certain character. A good example of bad immersive voice acting would be every Bethesda open world game, where they re-use the same 5-10 voices they recorded for over hundreds of characters.

[@radiantveggies9348]

Thomas Blay agree 100 percent. I love text boxes over voice acting in games. so much more immersion. but I think we are in a very small minority sadly. I feel like it has to do with the fact that barely anyone reads books anymore.

[@XLR108]

Bethesda have gotten better with the voice acting thing in recent years in fallout 4 beyond generic npcs that don't have anything to say and robots most of the voices are different. In skyrim a lot of characters shared a voice actor but it was more varied than oblivion where all elves shared a voice Khajit and argonians shared one, nords and orcs shared one The Bretons imperials and red guard had separate actors but the entire race had the same voice except for a few exceptions

Benjamin Bourdeau that guy clearly took 8 hours to clear the tutorial phase of the Great Plateau, in which the only hand holding is telling you how the controls work. The first thing you do is walk out of a cave and wander around. You battle enemies that you've never seen with a fucking tree branch.

[@hylianro]

[@kennikitty]

"maybe young children will like it" - "oversimplified quests and puzzles" - "the game holds your hand" I'm pretty sure most of these 1/10 and 0/10 reviews never actually played the game, but... that last one is just sad. This is easily the most challenging Zelda since... well.. the NES games and it being as open world as it is makes it entirely unsuited for small children. (spoilers below) The puzzles vary from simple over tricky to downright brilliant, especially when the game doesn't tell you anymore which item to use, it gets very interesting in those shrines. I'm pretty sure I did a good bunch of them not how I was supposed to clear them. The 4 dungeons are works of art, I was super impressed when I entered my first one. Instead of clearing the small puzzles in seperate rooms, the entire dungeon is one big puzzle that you manipulate. It's freaking awesome. And Hand holding? Really? A game that gives you all the tools you need in the tutorial area and straight up tells you "beat Ganon" right from the start - and even gives you the possibility to try, but also the choice to run loose out in the wild and do what the heck you want, is supposed to have too much hand holding. That's so wrong, it's not even funny anymore.

[@midditt3984]

kennikitty ALttP was more difficult too imo. Also, the dungeons are not 'works of art'. They are extremely simple and strange but not in a a good way. I didn't hate them but they weren't great. Having said that, I still love the game

[@JGuy97]

I think the game's difficulty depends entirely on how you play it. If you run towards any enemies you see right away, then chances are you'll die... A lot. However, if you avoid enemies that are obviously too powerful for you until later, it won't be that difficult of a journey. The difficulty definitely varies depending upon how somebody plays the game. That being said, the climb up to Ganon through Hyrule Castle is certainly tense and filled with Guardians and other powerful foes. I found it to be tougher than fighting Ganon himself. I am curious as to what they'll change for Hard Mode. If the only change is enemies receiving longer health bars, I'll be pissed that it's locked behind a paywall.

[@unclejoeljoestar988]

A Link to the Past is challenging, yes, mainly because it belongs to a more hardcore era of gaming. I personally love the dungeons, though they were more combat-based than puzzle-based. BotW beats all, no doubt.

It barely runs at 30fps, with frequent dips to 20 fps. That's shit performance. The fucking /PS3/ had both better resolution(full HD, aka 1080p) and many games ran at 60 FPS with infrequent dips. This includes games that look just as good as BotW like the HD remake of Shadow of the Colossus, dark souls 2 is merely full HD at 30fps, but it looks just as good. The nintendo switch runs BotW at 900p docked at 30 fps with very frequent dips to fucking /20/ FPS. It should /not/ be running this terribly.

[@gamephreak5]

Dude, I own a PS3, there were only 5% of games that ran at 60fps, and none of them ran consistently well except for Platinum's games. I don't know what you're talking about. The vast majority of PS3 games ran at a paltry 30fps and at 720p. Barely any actually ran at 1080p. Shadow of the Colossus also runs at 30fps, not 60, it's just more consistent in it's frame rate than the PS2 original, which ran at 15-20fps majority of the time.

[@vyor8837]

I own a PS3 as well, thank you very much. I had been informed, and some things I looked up supported it, that the grip issues were due to the framerate being higher than the PS2 had, this was apparently wrong. Regardless, there were plenty of games for the PS3 that ran at 60: www.giantbomb.com/60-fps-on-consoles/3015-3223/games/ www.gamefaqs.com/boards/927750-playstation-3/69574012 And the Wii-U is running the game at 720p with.... framedrops to 20 from 30. Meanwhile in handheld mode the switch is locked at 30fps 720p. So the switch's hardware is, going by this game, about 72.5% faster when docked. Meaning they /really/ shouldn't have set it to 900p, rather they should have pused the framerate higher to avoid any stuttering and frame drops.

I have to say, I'm enjoying the game, but it's certainly disappointing compared to what the hype prepared me for. From an objective standpoint, it's probably a solid 8.5/10, but more subjectively it's a 7-7.5/10 for me. Still, I have NO IDEA how anyone could rate BOTW 0/10. That's insane. 0/10 is, like, Big Rigs or something.

[@RussellSmith91]

David Carlton A fair and balanced opinion, thank you.

[@IronCurtaiNYC]

"From an objective standpoint", are you shitting me? Only facts are objective. What factual information would rate this game an 8.5 similar to, say, a score from Consumer Reports for a dishwasher or an inkjet printer (which is something that can actually be subject to objective testing, unlike a video game)?

[@flilix1]

'Objective standpoint'. How the fuck can you objectively rate a game? Have you developed some sort of scientific method to calculate how good a game is?

[@melteddali8000]

flilix1 I agree that all reviews are inherently subjective to a degree, but like whether or not the game runs is a pretty objective thing to take into consideration. Saying that Superman 64 has broken controls and is impossible to complete because of it is an example of that. Good reviews take into account the authors own biases and preferences and spell them out where applicable while also touching upon things like frame rate, control set ups, and potential bugs

[@jstar3382]

Here are my 3 biggest issues 1: The lack of traditional dungeons - There is a distinct lack of dungeons. I understand that there are a lot of shrines and the yes there are the same amount of dungeons as MM, but this is a lot different. This is a really good game and the runes are really creative and fun to use, but I want my traditional dungeons and also *g i v e m e m y g o o d b o s s e s* 2: Its truly a Zelda Game - Yes yes yes, I hear you screaming. I get it. But this is much less a Zelda game and moreso an open world puzzle game. There is so many great things that I love but a lot of them aren't truly "Zelda," if you get what I mean 3: Soundtrack - Hyrule Castle is absolutely fantastic. And so is the theme for the 5th Divine beast. But then there's the lack of over world music. Something small, but not just the occasional slap of a piano would be great. Give us different themes for the time of day, the area, weather, super cool stuff like that. I get that it's a lot of work, but this is the standard that the prior games set.

[@AD-kv9kj]

I have to agree. The game is great and looks gorgeous but it could still be improved quite a lot. I miss things like when exploring Hyrule just finding something like a little river and following it along to a waterfall which you can get behind to find Zora's Domain.. or just seeing a volcano in the far distance and thinking I wonder what's up there - then just going, not using any magic teleports or shrines and just exploring your way up to the mountain and finding the Gorons. The dungeons in Ocarina of Time were so great because finding and entering them felt kind of natural - the Gorons or Zoras would have problems they'd need your help with and you'd get into the dungeon by figuring out a way to open the entrance etc. When it's all shrines and magic doors and teleports and stuff it disconnects me from the world and makes it feel more like game mechanics and a bit repetitive. I also kind of miss a more traditional Link costume. It often feels like you're playing a very different character. I don't see what's so wrong with a green tunic, hat and carrying a sword and shield on his back rather than the character being covered in massive weird weapons and costumes that just make it feel like a totally different character etc. I'd rather just have the option to equip weapons as I like and not have a cumbersome and ridiculous array of giant things all over the character.

[@hussyweissshutup1275]

Zelda should never have "realistic" graphics. Breath of the Wild looks gorgeous, however I will add that just personally I would prefer a little less bright haziness and less of the cell-shading style. I'd prefer modern Zelda games to have a but more of a solid world look, albeit cartoonish, rather than the hazy and cell-shaded look that makes the whole game feel like a dream scene or something. It is beautiful, but could still be tweaked. It's like they tried to combine the Ocarina of Time vibe with the Windwaker vibe in the newer Zelda games.. Windwaker was cool as a one off but I never liked cell shading much. I'd prefer they build the new graphics more fully along the lines of Ocarina of Time (not meaning blocky and primitive - I mean just more of a solid look to the world while retaining that semi cartoonish style, and no cell shaded effects and spirally cartoon smoke etc).

AppointedKnight It's not weak at all. It's just that the main story is just the point of the journey. There are so many other side stories and quests that lead to others. That's how these games work, if it were just one story it'd be less thsn a Zelda experience.

[@appointedknight7535]

True the thing I really really did enjoy was all the backstory they have hidden away. They gave a legitimate reason for hyrule being the way it is. Like the ancient technology and the split between the yiga and sheikah and stuff like that. And while I do feel like they set it very far in the future to appeal to newcomers, I thought it was a cool way to kinda ditch the timeline and leave some room for imagination because honestly it could fit in any branch of the timeline.

[@taidakun_ig]

AppointedKnight It has a fit in the timeline actually. I forgot where, but it's before the 4 swords adventure. Though, I really can't wait to see the future of Zelda. It may never be the same as it used to be.

Slow, boring, repetitive, lack of variety of enemies, breakable weapons and cooking. I played the first 2 hours and I didn’t like it, I played for four hours more and I hated it. Maybe it’s a game for other audiences but not for me

[@fcv1967]

When I first played the game, one of my first reactions was that the graphics were breathtaking. It is like a live action painting. I wonder if they ever do an open world massively multiplayer game? Kind of like what Bethesda did with Fallout 76 except not ruin the franchise ;)

[@xombiekilla]

Breath of the wild based on watching playthroughs from other people. it is a masterpiece. However, what kinda disappoints me is the fact that Gannon is this thing. where's Gannondorf? The game suggest that he once adopted the form of a gerudo. but you only see him as this thing apparently called Calamity Gannon. My final verdict of this game is an 8/10. very good game otherwise, humor in just the right areas, graphics are at an all high, music was marvelous, the story however could use more work.

[@Jangulo157]

charles franks you see him as ganon too were he's the big pig thing

[@parkerbrandner9428]

Please spell Ganon correctly before I ever care about your Zelda review

[@marc789]

Gaonondorf stopped having his gerudo form after link beat him in ocarina of time. with all his hatred for link he used the triforce of power and he got transformed into the beast pig called ganon.

[@alext9983]

Zelda explains at the very end that Ganon (ie Demise's curse) gave up on Reincarnating Ganondorf (Gerudo form) and focused on pure hatred/malice/destructive force. Which is a big factor on why Ganon defeated Link 100 years ago. While it makes perfect sense story-wise, I wouldn't have minded seeing Ganondorf again, a more intelligent villain rather than a mindless force of destruction.

[@BlockSquad1000]

Yeah, Ganondorf doesn't EXIST in this incarnation of Ganon. He's just a pure, enraged beast.

[@eddie0252]

Multi Meter how much time have you put in to appreciate it for what it is

[@JacOfArts]

If I had to make any bad review about BOTW, it’s that it comes from a situation that plagues pretty much every other Zelda game, and it’s that once everything (practical) is done, there’s nothing to come back to. I suppose that’s how it is for a lot of other games, but for Zelda games, it does not take long before everything is finished after the final boss is defeated. Some other games still have things for you to come back to, Super Mario with its bonus worlds is extremely notable, but other games I’ve loved like Dark Souls and Skyrim have gear and weapons you could completely miss out on through the main game (I’m also personally not a fan of BOTW’s weapon breaking system, nobody was, either all of the enemies have incredibly tough exteriors, even those that are made of actual jelly, or all of the weapons are incredibly weak) so not only were there not really a bunch of unique weapons, aside from those of the Champions of course, but using a weapon in BOTW, although necessary, was just another bar that drained extremely quickly and needed constant, manual regeneration, so that devalues what few unique weapons there are, and the only thing I considered worth coming back for was completing all 120 shrines to get Link’s original tunic. A semi-cosmetic reward, but a pretty effective one. (especially with all the outcry of Link not getting a green tunic when BOTW first came out) On the upside though, (kind of) Zelda games do typically have some pretty consistent release dates so it does kinda keep me from being silent after I say “wow, this game was great, what can I play next?”, but it does hurt a little to see that one game of its kind has nothing to be revisited for. Like redo OOT’s master quest and have the same dungeons but introduce brand new items and characters or something like that.
