Where it takes mechanics from others in the industry, it improves upon them; where it introduces new ones, you slap your forehead in amazement that it hasn’t been done before. Breath of the Wild is development done right, and damn near the best game you’ll play all year.
Breath of the Wild doesn’t feel like an experiment for the Zelda series, it feels like the realization of what Zelda always wanted to be. It easily stands toe-to-toe with the best open world games of the generation, and is a marvelous way to introduce a brand new system. Whether you’re a Zelda fan or not, this is certainly an experience you should not miss out on.

Amazing game.
This is the kind of game that pulls you in with its mechanics. Every interaction from climbing, fighting, flying, provided tools, or even cooking makes you wonder what else can be done with those mechanics and everything feels so natural.
The story and its narrative are okay, which I don't care about too much.
It is ultimately a massive game and the best thing is, it has content for both people who solely want to experience the game freely and others who want to go through every tiny corner of the game.

Perfect game design with good Movement and a beautiful big world with a cute but emotional story makes this a 10 out of 10 for me

Breath of the Wild’s only tangible constraint is how creative the player can be at any given moment. The game is genuinely challenging, with secrets and rewards to be found around every corner. As you play, the staggering amount of ways in which you can interact with Hyrule naturally reveal themselves. There is always something new to discover, but at your own pace. Somehow, the adventure never loses momentum over dozens of hours of exploration, the inspired design holds up, making for an unmistakable Zelda game that completely changes everything expected from the series. After spending so much time with Breath of the Wild, it is already hard to imagine going back to the antiquated presentation of the past.
I was entranced by this version of Hyrule, and it surprised me at nearly every turn, from its wealth of discoveries to the way it shuns the established tropes of previous Zelda games. It represents a profound new direction for one of gaming’s best franchises and a new high point for open-world interactive experiences.
Breath of the Wild changes up the formula and offers a gigantic open world for the player to discover. It is truly an unforgettable experience.
For any gamer that views Ocarina of Time as the highlight of the franchise, Breath of the Wild is a very pleasant surprise. The innovations Nintendo offers are -nearly all- amazing and Hyrule is more appealing and grandiose than ever before.
The audiovisual beauty alone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is liable to convince you that more is indeed better.
Adventure by exploring! I love the freedom that player have in this game. A lot of mechanics was innovative and game itself make a big impact on gaming industry

I honestly don't find this game to be fun. The controls are horrible and the combat plus puzzles are not better than other games

I mean it’s a decent time, but temper your expectations if you go into this believing the GOTY hype. The land is unique although bland and repetitive, the story is fine, the combat is solid. This is a game that should be played, but nowhere near living up to the hype.

Personally, I say I'm giving Breath of the Wild the benefit of the doubt it would be a 2 or a 3 if this wasnt a great game. Honestly I'd consider this a 9 or a 10 if it didn't pretend to be Zelda.
In my opinion, one of, if not Zelda's lowest point. And I've been an avid Zelda fan since Ocarina of time and Majora's Mask. Also, no this is not just nostalgia calling. I have played Breath of the Wild more than four times now and I still haven't been able to capture what I felt when I first played it.
Breath of the Wild is fun for a first time playthrough but the open world aspect dies out the moment you explore each corner of the map and realize it's just another Korok or just another shrine. The Divine Beast boss battles were fun and the Blight Ganons were different. And heck even I liked the DLC but those things don't make a Zelda experience, do they?
And look I'm all down for customizable link and open world and all that. But come on if your going to plaster Zelda's name on it at least make it feel somewhat like Zelda. This new format has something, but it needs to be seriously refined.

Let me be clear right now: I HAVE NOT FINISHED THIS GAME nor am I ANYWHERE CLOSE!
I don't like Zelda breath of the wild and I don't think it's the game's fault. Zelda BOTW is definitely one of the best open world games ever made, it's just not my thing. I don't like open world games and I think that was made very clear when I played this game. I found it boring and not fun at all. Maybe it gets better as the game progresses, I don't know. I recommend trying it out somewhere else before buying it yourself if possible.
