YEAH, it's a good one.
gameranx first like. Been here before 1 mil ! Love you guys.
gameranx Hi Jake! I think that this might be a question a lot of us have, but would you reccomend that I purchase a switch just for Zelda and Mario Kart, and maybe Super Mario Oddessy down the line? It seems expensive but if the games are really good then it would be a must buy for me. Thanks for reading this (if you do), and have a nice day!
gameranx read your guide on the korok locations. good job
so would it be worth it on Wii U? its one of the reasons i got the console between breath of the wild and mario maker. Did you guys test the performance on that system?
I got it on the WiiU and it plays great. The only time it dropped frames was in an area with a lot of people.
dont buy it, youll never stop playing
too late
True, I'm 135 hours in and I still have so much to do
If you have online games you play with friends is about the only think that can pull you away. Even then while I am playing with them I am thinking to myself, come on, lets finish this up early so I can jump on Zelda. When we done I yell at my friends "HYRULE BITCHES" They know where I am going lol
ill never stop playing? then im buying it.
PaladinPizza fuck switch is arriving tomorrow with Zelda. How much time do I have left here?
My husband took our switch to work, so I'm filling the void by watching videos like this
lol when the loves of you life both leave for the day jk
lol
lmfao my brother took our switch to work . dealing with the same thing.
My dog took my switch to the bathroom. I think it's gone forever
the schmuck wowwwww lmao
I have never played zelda before, wasn't very excited for this game at all, picked it up for my wii u a little over 48 hours ago and have 24 hours in it..... when spring break is over I fear for my grades....
BuzzKillModder so what happened to youre grades? 😅😅
BuzzKillModder sxD
Gary Bravo what happend to your grammar?
he's still playing it to this day. failed out of school, and dined on the finest fast food for dinner. it was a good year.
Oliver Stigsen what happened to your spelling?
Actually their graphics are very smart cuz now video games are too 'real' to be fun so this is a nice balance
I think he was talking about the resolution not being all that great but yes i agree on the graphics
Agreed
Maybe your opinion. I like games like RDR2, GOW, or Witcher waaay more.
@@geraltvonriva9873 idiot the game designing of those games is not meant to be realistic, they are made to be graphically impressive. Learn both the terms.
@xiaguan whisky Detroit become human is great tho. and the graphic ain't even that good. story wise its one of my faves
I guess you could say weapon durability is...
_Hylian convenient_
+Zireael COTY- comment of the year
gameranx all you have to have to do is put 'highly' before any word starting with in or an. It is my most Hylian ticipated game of this year
I Hylian agree. ...Damnit!
The Weapons are made of...Hyliantanium
Zireael hahha
With this game it's like they're saying, "You have a brain right? Figure it out." They never tell you anything or guide you. Everything you do and find is based on your own skill and it is so rewarding for that!
EDIT: This is also my very first Zelda game. No nostalgia is needed to enjoy this game.
So dark souls?
Pretty much. Just like Dark Souls, you can perform devastating attacks after pulling off a successful parry, you can light fires and skip time with them, and most importantly- you die a lot.
master dark or just back to the original Zelda roots. Dark souls wasn't the first game to have no handholding
Ex Team Rocket Grunt They tell you enough so you know what to do, but the game doesn't hold your hand.
Fatalsprigs If that was the case literally no one would buy it. It would be worse than E.T for the Atari.
**watches this after spending several hundred hours playing**
Aight
Just got a week ago and already have over 50 hours on it. It's on par with GoW 4 and how the complete overhaul transcended the game. This is definitely my top 3 game of all time currently along with GoW 4, obv lol, and Persona 5.
I think I have 210 hours on this game
@Gavin i just messed around also i looked on my switch and i have 370 hours now
@Gavin I have proof of that claim look in my profile and you will see a video in which I show how many hours i have
@Skungi I have 270 hours , after the first play I ended with around 150 hours, then I downloaded the DLC and decided to start master mode.. I'm doomed Master mode is the most hardcore it gets specially at the beggining and the master quests
The graphics for this game are amazing. I was standing in a spot last night and the lighting literally changed cause a cloud moved in front of the sun during a huge gust of wind. I've never seen that happen in a game before. The cool thing is is that the lighting changed again after the cloud moved.
These graphics aren't PC ultra or PS4 4k but they're definitely one of the best I've seen in a game since the art style and immersion are something new to me. I've been a gamer my whole life and these graphics are great for what the switch is on the inside.
@João Eduardo PS4 Pro offers 4K rez fucking moron do some research before commenting
Ruddi yeah but it’s not named PS4. Stop getting triggered over an opinion dimwit
69 likes! Don't dislike or like
@@Ruddi031 dynamic resolution & upscaling =/= native 4K.
The 4K of the PS4 Pro (and also partly the xbox one X) is largely a marketing gimmick.
Not even an RTX 2080Ti, a 1200$ graphics card, can reliably produce 4K 60fps in all games.
Let alone, an Xbox one X with an RX 580.
You should do some research before calling people morons.
@@Ruddi031 that wasn't the point of the comment...
Some of the little details in this game were very refreshing to discover. I was on top of a mountain freezing my ass off, i put on my Doublet but it was still too cold, i hadn't prepared any warming meals so i was pretty sure i was gonna die. Then i found a little camp fire and i used my flame sword to ignite it......then i realized my flame sword was keeping me warm!! I got that extra increase in my heat buff just from an elemental sword, it was a beautiful touch. Same worked for my ice sword when i was in a hot environment. Im in love with this game
VideoBase where do you get an ice sword? I'm not sure :/
I found it in *SPOILER ALERT* Hyrule Castle when I ran there right after getting the paraglider.
There are great flameswords in a couple spots around the map like a giant tree stump southwest of Hyrule castle and in a maze thing North of the ancient tech lab
I've found a frostsword carried by a random mob on Mt Lanayru and frostspears as well. Usually black Bokoblins.
You can also find electric greatswords in a shrine or two and some Lizalfos carry electric spears and arrows
never played a zelda game before this played bout 10 hours im so addicted this is literally my favourite game of 2016 2017 so far combined
Sausage Saurus I have Put 30 Hours into the Game And it is amazing
Jacob Michalski noobs I have “275 hours or more”
I’ve never played Zelda but I think I might get it for Christmas, it seems cool!
+Madison Blue WII U IS BETTER THAN THE SWITCH!!
Danielle Wehr it might be but personally I like the switches design. I think it would function better as well.
3 year's after and i'm still playing it
Same here! And there’s still so much stuff to do
Are you really still playing it I’m gunnu get it for Christmas
@@elvinlorenzo477 same
Lol I'm still playing 2020 November 28th and I don't plan to stop😂
Hey question is this a good game for people new to the series
Before you buy
JUST BUY IT
GreenHood44 i got a copy and played for 6 hours straight so i agree
GreenHood44 Not for 360$. Gonna hold out for a while, pick it up when/if a switch is worth buying.
JUST DO IT
JUST DO IT
- Meme 2016
GreenHood44 I'm broke, so homebrew launcher is my friend here :)
this got 10/10 from a reviewer that gave advanced warfare a higher score than uncharted 4 😂😂*cough*IGN
Najuyel Ahmed it also got 10/10 by nearly every other reviewer
This got 10/10 from several reviewers that have only given 10/10 to a handful of games in some 20 years.
Uncharted 4 imho was kinda boring. I actually never bothered finishing it. Not everyone agrees with me, sure, but it was actually the weakest in the series for me.
Najuyel Ahmed well to some people, the Uncharted games are boring as shit
its not like ign was the only reviewer lmao i don't know why people seem to think that
Ι picked the switch Last year. 3 days ago i got Zelda. I know I'm late. I've never played a zelda game before so i didn't know if i was gonna like it or not. To shorten things up, the game is AMAZING. The only thing i hate is the cooking recipes aren't stored anywhere and the fact that the weps break. Please buy it.
LegendJim I have had my switch since Christmas. I have never played a Zelda game either.I was thinking of getting the Zelda game or super Mario odyssey. What do you think?
@@Vividersnake im getting my switch tomorrow and im buying zelda first. im prob buying super mario odyssey later, but to me zelda seems like a better game to buy atm
heina pelto alright cool
@@Vividersnake ok.
I recommend botw because to me smo was boring after the main game ended and you gat 500 power moons/ 50 hours. However I play botw to this day
This game is awful. I mean, have you licked the cartridge yet?
Xx_AnonyousSwegster404_xX I was about to say... 😂 yeah. The game tastes awful. Key word; tastes. 😂
pro xgamer it is horrible.
I tasted it and got nothing for like 10 minutes and thought it was an inside joke. Then i was playing it and like 20 minutes later my mouth tasted like fucking chemicals and death. The game was like "That's for licking me earlier you perv"
I wanna lick it too but I bought it digitally Q_Q
I have. I was trying to switch to mk8d because a friend showed up, and put one of them between my lips for temporary storage. Worst decision ever.
There is no "Before You Buy" with Breath of the Wild, YOU JUST FUCKING GET IT BECAUSE IT'S AN AMAZING GAME 😭😭😭
TheSlyMario2416 yeah with them frames? Funny how no reviewer is commenting on how bad this game perform
I DO JUEGOS because like he said the frame drops are so minimal they don't really matter in the grand scheme, I had frame drops in around the 20's in the starting area(not often but still bothered me) but after I jumped off the great plateau the frame drops are like once in a blue moon for some reason and game is just plain amazing
TheSlyMario2416 what if you dont have a switch
Joel Boafo well a lot people I seen on the internet and people the I trust their opinion disagree with you big time and if we look at the facts you could argue the same about almost every game that suffers from frames drop on the other consoles but somehow people love to bring that an over exaggerate it
I DO JUEGOS true people disagree but look objectively how few people actually do, it gets 9-10 from literally every reviewer, so if you don't trust ign's reviews go someplace else and they will still tell you it's an amazing game and the frame drops aren't frequent at all once you're off the the plateau (trust me :p)
I'm just gonna put that opinion out there; it's okay if you don't like this game. Lots of people are loving this game, but some others think it's boring. That's fine. I'm only mentioning this because I'm seeing a lot of people get some flak for having a different opinion on the game than the rest. We all have our dislikes and likes, so why is it so bad to shit on people we disagree with?
Yeah, people tend to forget that game quality is entirely subjective. A lot of people will consider the game to be really bad, others will find it okay, while others find it amazing. They act like the quality of a game is a set fact when it's really not.
The game IS SHIT. I was bored to tears after 2h LMAO
Watch the uncharted effect
OMG I played Witcher 3 and it Suuuuuucks.
because even if there is a thing called "freedom of speech" , there is also something call "bad taste" or "useless opinion", it is determined by several thing such as art aesthetic, ethics, consensus, etc. so if you say zelda is not your things, it's a proper good opinion but if you say i think zelda is a boring game then it still a proper opinion but with poor taste. even worse if you say "zelda is boring" it is a bad opinion with bad taste. btw i just answer a question, nothing personal and no need to get angry.
P.S : another example is "the Witcher 3 suck", it's a shitty opinion with bad taste, you can say that if you want however it will bring you nowhere.
I played this without the map. Minimalist UI made the game so much better as it forced me to look at the environment and really understand the lay of the land and remember where stuff was. Easily one of the best if not THE best open world game I've ever played. Its so good
I just ordered my switch OLED and this game👍 hope I love it!
Before you buy...
Your a bit late, lad
A.Z.Z. King *you're.. I just had to, apologies
No you're a bit late. About 5 months late
Your profile pic perfectly expresses the comment you made.
I am hahaha
I’m 2 years late
Clarification: Everyone who shit talks this game never played it, or bought it. Same for those people who claim to have played it, and didn't. Yes, there is legit people out there who actually lie about buying the game and talk trash about it. It's mostly the Sony fanboys, who are known for talking trash about games they've never touched.
I mean, or there are just people that have a different opinion from you... I bought it, and it's fine. Not Game of the Year material, but fine.
Falcondorf Keep in mind when hearing criticism: someone who rated this game low said that they hated how the music deviated from traditional Zelda music.
*the music was from the first Zelda game*
I bought it with the switch, its a great game for sure and im only 4 hours in, it also pulled me away from Horizon zero dawn but as of now I dont see why it was rated a 10/10. Maybe as time passes and i put more hours into it my opinion might change. Other amazing games such as the Witcher 3 have a much deeper story that draws from ancient lore and is executed nicely.
Uh sorry buddy but someone out there doesn't like the game ..
+The Corndawg Skyrim and fo4 are pretty damn mediocre in their own rights chief. (obviously, as skyrim is years old now, we can talk about it's bullshit and rampant flaws... shame morrowind and oblivion just cant look good enough with mods.)
Why is everyone so salty that this game is getting such high praise? Too be honest this is the first game since witcher that actually made me like smile with joy while playing its already made it into my top 10 games ever
And also if your gonna claim the good reviews are only cause it's Nintendo and its nostalgia then you honestly have to be stupid. The wii u and it's games got shit on, the switch itself isn't receiving high praise and none of the Zelda games from the past ten years have gotten such high praise. To be honest a lot of them have been ignored
TinyHippo Gaming hey what's so good abput witcher 3? i just got the game and its my first witcher but so far its not pleasing me right now i just keep dieng. plz tell me it gets better
at what point are you at?
n6george the lottchkin or whatever its called...very early
the thing with this game is that you need to immerse yourself with the characters and the world around you, play some more and if you still feel that it's boring then propably you won't like it.
It's closer to the original Zelda, just in a more updated format. Which is good. The fun part of Zelda is it's nonlinearness.
I played the original Zelda, and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link on NES, but then I went the Sega route and so I never played any other Zelda games. I'm sure they're great, people seem to love them, but I just never had the chance. Well, I'm back with Nintendo and I'm playing BOTW and it's so strange how this beautiful new game keeps giving me nostalgia for the original Zelda! The music, the sounds, the enemies, the world, somehow everything is reminding me of a 30+ year old game.
I had issue with the durability system in the beginning as well, but items get better and last longer, also you can extend your inventory and even upgrade the amount of weapons you can carry. It adds a new level of strategy and you value certain weapons than others, and you keep some for harder fights.
I am not a big ledgends of zelda fan becouse i have not played a single zelda game. But im thinking about buying the switch to play breath of the wild on becouse it looks like so much fun!
yes do it, but one warning, your entire social life will be gone.
Rikth Humayun HaHa xD yeah I guess so!
Andrew Ryan, would you kindly talk some sense?
Andrew Ryan What dough im not baking cookies and you cant make cookies out of the switch either!
lol he comes the haters..... why don't you just be satisfied with what console you have and mind your own business
comment section in a nutshell
"overrated"
- some Hater
"better than *insert some other open world game*"
- some fanboys
not haters, *People who aren't blinded by Nostalgia
Alexandrewvice its not nostalgia, its a whole diff game my dude
not fanboys, *People who can afford the game. (The salt is real)
+Griffin Noseworthy "i dont see" yes because you're blinded by Nostalgia
No many are haters. If you look in the metacritic user section you see a lot of people who don't even have the game give it a 0 because it is made by Nintendo. There will always be haters and while there are some good points to why this game is not a ten game there are points to every ten game that it should not be a ten game.
I never really played a zelda game before, cause like i didnt have it in my childhood. But damn this game looks beautiful and im convinced to buy it
I’m considering buying it
@@mcspankied9540 I'll buy it with the switch lite, cant afford the switch
Did you get it? Whats your opinion?
@@aki-tq8dl Its a blast but definitely overpraised or overrated. The game is 7/10 it feels great but sometimes you get lost and it feels empty but when you just try to make the game fun like exploring more and just look at it freely. Because before all the fun I was feeling negative about the game cause sometimes you dont know what to do next because the game just lets u be free so its up to u what u want to do so get lost and stumble into something its worth a shot. I'm not really good at explaining stuff but i hope u get what im saying😅😄.
@@Gyroeg do you like the game now I have over 125 hours top 3 best games in my opinion
Welp I beat breath of the wild! What should I do now? *stares at the "new game" button casually"* Whoops! I accidentally pressed it! Time to replay the best video game in history!
MrMonic master mode is definitely worth another play through
I think by far half life 2 is the best game ever. It changed everything. It just revolutionised everything. Character models, characters, graphics, story, gameplay and physics just to name a few. I think skyrim, gtav, witcher 3 and last of us still beat Zelda because that story was honestly just bad. I know that's not everything but a story i think is one of the most important details though. Everyone has opinions though and I respect yours.
I think the witcher 3
Lol the sequel is being released now
Um have you played the last of us
i wanted to make a pun but I didn't want Tri and Force it
Fi I could see you also TRIED to make a good joke
Josh didnt want to* TRI
Don't try to force yourself to make one then.
Josh omg
Come on guys. With these puns you sound like GanonDORKs (not to be mean)
What about for people who aren't Zelda fans - or who have never played Zelda? How does this match up to say Skyrim or the Witcher?
Chad W Smith It is better than Skyrim for sure if you can somehow compare a 1st and 3rd person game together.
As for the witcher 3, it depends on the taste whether u like simple fighting mechanics or complicated one.
it is a lot closer to the Witcher 3 that it is with the other 3D Zelda games, it really does go back to it's roots, the 3D Zelda games were linear as fuck and there was no sense of exploration.
It's better than Skyrim and arguably better than Witcher in terms of open world dynamics. The video doesn't even go into the explaining the hundreds of tiny details in the game that makes the world feel connected and real and open. Definitely check out some more videos and gameplay, but it is something you need to experience first hand. And this is coming from a non Zelda gamer.
yep
Jorge R Zelda is a ripoff of Skyrim? Oh the irony
Been playing it for months now and for me the weapon degrade system is really a good refresher to this type of games.. Like it makes you use all kinds of weapons and planning to use them efficiently. Maybe some are too lazy to plan and ahead but I like the challenge plus at the end game. Its sooo easy to farm the weapons..
What I like in this game is how when I first encounter a guardian you get hit with the panic of having absolutely no chance of survival compared to the 10th time where I see them I know exactly what to do, also learning how to defeat the boss type enemy's are fun as it makes you feel smart
From what I'm reading everyone is either 10/10 or 0/10 I'm with the 10/10 group. The main complaints are
Emptiness
Graphics
Breaking weapons
Story
And nostalgia hype
I have put some hours into this game and I am reaching the end I'll give my honest opinion.
First my reasoning behind 10/10
I am a zelda fan boy. I'll admit it but this game doesn't deserve anything less than a perfect score. A perfect mixture of difficulty, adventure, choice, survival, interaction, character development, and connection to the main character are enough for this game. You throw in all the added mechanics the cohere with real world physics and you've got yourself a recipe for success. I give the game 10/10 but it deserves No less than an 8.5.
As for the complaints
1. I do agree the game can feel empty at times, but it is nothing like the emptiness of skyrim or fallout when you are traveling in breath of the wild it doesn't feel as empty as it is. There are always mountains to climb, rocks to mine, camps to raid. Or something in the distance to make you forget you've been running through an empty field for 2 minutes. Nintendo did a good job of keeping the player on the look out for the next mystery.
2. The graphics in my opinion fit, not every game has to have the most realistic graphics to be great. Look at to the moon, life is strange, binding of Isaac. And borderlands! Borderlands 1 still looks great today and that reason is cel shading the same technique botw is using. 10 years from now this game will still look great. And if the graphics alone are reason to bash the game then you don't play a game for the concepts or storylines. Go play cod.3. The breakable weapons mechanic is annoying yes, but the game overcompensates by giving you more than one weapon. It makes you strategize. I have never been without a weapon but there are multiple times when I have to take a new approach to a group of enemies. The entire game is one puzzle even the combat you have to think like a tactician and not just run into waves of enemies mindlessly swinging.
4. For new zelda players the story is easy to follow, for us veterans we get a thrill about trying to piece together a difficult timeline with only clues hinted ever so often. The story doesn't just take place in the game but throughout the many lifetimes of the hero. The story hints at connecting timelines and gives the players another reason to explore, Nintendo did this very well.
5. Nostalgia hype.. trust me when I say I get tired of the band wagon ocarina of time get praise as the best zelda when other titles were 3x as good, however the only thing nostalgic about this game is the story and the reference back to the original legend of Zelda. Oot didn't sell this game. Twilight princess didn't sell this game. Majoras mask didn't sell this game. Breath of the wild sold itself through listening to feedback actually taking a proper amount of time to develop into a full game. It didn't quit halfway through when all the preorders were in. The developers put there hearts into a great game. They made a game where the player could choose his/her own adventure decided what approaches to take and how to fulfill links destiny. This connected the player to the character. You get to do what you want as link thus making link you. This game was hyped up on nostalgia it was hyped up on the fact that there haven't been any astounding games since the last of us. This zelda game will be a marker for all new games to come. I believe it will change the open world RPG game type forever.
But people say it's the greatest game ever, which it isn't. It may be the best Zelda game as some people claim, but isn't the best open world game, or game in general.
TL,DR
asgerØK there are no best games of all time because everybody has his or her different opinion on everything so if you ask me no game is the best one
havent played it yet so i honestly cant judge for myself
Isn't it? Well, then I really need to play more open world games, because this one doesn't have the most aggravating problem most of the games of the same genre have, that is emptiness. Everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE you go, there's always something kind of reward, and not just money or weapons: finding shrines unlocks fast travel points, fighting enemies gives you their equipment and materials that all have some use in a way or another, reaching a higher place provides a better look at the environment to help find more stuff AND usually there's a Korok there that gives you a very useful collectable (don't want to spoil what it does, but get as many as you can), there's a lot of side quests that are different from one another and usually they reward you with money (which is also very useful in this game) or some rare equipment.
And if you're one of the people that says the combat is lacking, then you're the one lacking creativity, and probably just seeing melee combat as if that's all there is. Not only there's a lot of different weapon types, which also gives the ENEMIES a lot of power, requiring you to make different strategies depending on their weapon, even the environment can be used a weapon, but you need to learn how by yourself.
I am fairly new to the Zelda series, so there is not too much sentiment on my behalf. However, I am well-experienced in a vast number of JRPGs, MMORPGs, and RPGs. From my own perspective, this game really does live up to its rating of approximately 10/10. It accomplishes something which many games do not: it builds atmosphere, emotional appeal, and intensity to a nearly unprecedented extent.
Someone didn't play the game
Klaudia J. tell me, then, why did they craft every individual mission to advance different goals for characters and villains?
3.14159265358979323846 26433832795028841 but zelda is not an RPG jrpg or mmo
Paw Hunter what is it then
you clearly had a nostalgia bomb dropped on you
Picked it up for Wii U, couldn't sleep all night playing it!
Julio Ricardo Moran LOL WII U
Jalen Barnes, that's not funny
Jalen You know there's a reason it was released on Wii U dumbass
Great game on either system!
Can we talk about the music? Like the first time you hear the main theme for legend of Zelda, it’s just great. Fits the mood perfectly, and gives you that extra motivation to push forward, and zeldas lullaby, it’s just so many feels
I totally understood why Nintendo went for the weapon durability. In your everyday RPG (which BotW takes slight inspiration from), you grind. A LOT. This makes the gameplay a chore, to get certain XP to level up to equip a certain OP armor/weapon, or even sidetrack you so you won't feel too much of the challenges with fights.
But in BotW it's different. The gameplay goes towards a 'learn while you play' kind of scenario. Every enemy NPC acts and attack in different ways, and ANY of em can kill you if you lack the proper eqs (also makes you learn how to react to these said enemies). This makes you WANT to explore even more, to find more gear for your battles, to search for shrines to upgrade your health or stamina.
Overall, while I understand that not everyone likes this mechanism of weapon durability, I personally enjoy it as I realize that playing this game and doing so much exploring, Link isn't the one that is earning experience, but the player. I learnt how to adapt to certain situation while knowing that I need to save my resources for more important battles.
With the open free-roam nature of the game, weapon durability was absolutely essential. Without it, players could have easily sneaked their way into Hyrule Castle with little to no gear, grabbed some really good items, leave, and then dominate a very large portion of the game with ease.
Is there a way to repair or prolong the duability in anyway? Maybe get back something that has been broken/buy it back? I like the idea behind it as well but it would be such a sad feeling if you can't avoid it breaking no matter what
There are a select few (literally "few" as in only three.) weapons you can repair or get back if they break. There's only one weapon in the game that has infinite durability though.
Guessing that would be the Master Sword huh?
LooGiezz it's a dark souls and Bloodborne copy cat.
Zelda: Breath of the FPS Drop
GregPlease do u think only the Switch drops framerate?
Go play Just Cause 3 on the ps4,i have it and i love it,but the madness on the game does make the FPS drop
GregPlease lol salty. and I play on pc.
The only thing your reply taught me is to skip consoles and get a PC
Greg please!
GregPlease that actually made me laugh
ive done 100 shrines and i havnt done that one with the bridge
XD
fucking same lmfao just hit 100 today
This was my first ever Zelda game as also my first Nintendo console. I'm so glad i got this as this game and others left such an huge impression on me leaving me with countless hours, spending so much time dedicating myself to explore every little aspect of the game. It is an absolute gem and i couldn't have been any more happy to have made this purchase. Well deserving of a 10/10. Maybe i could even say an 10/10 is a mere understatement. But that's just my opinion, great review.
weapon durability is to balance the game so you cant just go to hyrule castle early and get a strong weapon just to let it carry you throughout the whole game. you should also be conservative about which weapons you use, weak weapons for weak enemies, strong weapons for strong enemies.
Holy shit never thought about it this way....
thats exactly my view on it. the weapon durability system is just another layer of tactical thinking.
Misha I think I've sunk about 40 hours into this already and I tried going to the castle early and promptly got my ass handed to me, I got to the final boss with two weapons left because I didn't look for any along the way
Those pick ups in hyrule castle are so damn good. I go there every bloodmoon.
S3D Productions 1: Progress through the game.
2: git gud
Warning: Long post and personal opinion ahead! Proceed with caution!
I am playing for quite a while now and I feel like giving my feedback.
tl;dr: The game holds up to its score.
First: I am highly impressed how dense the story feels sometimes. You find yourself in the role of someone who wakes up a hundred years without any memories of the past (not the most creative opening but it works) while the story successively envelopes in front of you bringing back your lost memory bit by bit. And what you discover on your journey often tackles pretty mature themes like losing a close person.
NPCs in this game have their own personality and quirks. Most of them are really nice to meet. Things get extremely amusing when they start talking to themself or about other NPCs while directing the camera towards them. I laughed so hard in certain interactions with the citizens.
Second: This world map is so damn huge. You have some red thread guiding you to certain events but you are always free to roam the field as you will, take a break from being a hero, make some food, tame a horse and give it a kick-ass name (because it's your very own steed). The directions a player receives are scarce so when you are going to resolve a quest, you are on your own. The game gets really creative in these regards and finding the missing piece feels even more rewarding when you finally finish your mission.
Third: The graphics may not be everybody's flavor however, people complaining that it looks outdated should go back and review their favorite copy of modern warfare (and I don't mean the re-makes). Twilight Princess was an attempt of giving Zelda a mature setting but unfortunately this has led the game to age very badly when looking closely to the textures... It's a muddy nightmare which had to see an HD re-make as soon as possible. Nintendo has learned from their past games when it comes to styles and shading. It offers some really complicated lighting and shading effects you can also admire in modern, so-called realistic games but they managed to blend it with Wind Waker's style perfectly. The game despite running on technically outdated hardware, looks fantastic and fits the art style. If they would only find a way to fix the FPS issues but I am afraid this can't be done on their current hardware. Nintendo games are usually extremely optimized already.
Fourth: The audio experience in the game is outstanding. For someone who enjoys listening and sometimes editing/mastering soundtracks I have to say I fell in love with it. I am playing on a 5.1 audio setup and the first thing I remember when starting my adventure was me shivering upon the sound of a breeze coming from the speakers behind me.
There is orchestrated music and calm piano tracks mixed into an else silent and sound driven environment. Villages all have ther very unique setting. I discovered Nintendo to focuse on their Japanese roots more often in their games. If you don't know what I mean you better go to Kakariko again pay more attention. All that is well-blended with the more tech oriented theme of the Shiekah tribe.
Whoever tells you this game has bad music, he probably has no music taste besides the usual mainstream garbage running on radio stations day in and out. It might be one of these candidates who mute the game and run their *insert mainstream music genre here* on top of it.
Fifth: Breath of the Wild has an outstanding physics engine. When you fall off a cliff without energy, get hit by a boulder or a moblin armed with a stolen two-handed sword or the Hylian guard... You are going to feel it. I've learned the hard way that the game does not let you freely travel each region right from the start. Well, you can but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Sixth: This game is hard depending on where you go first. I already mentioned that you are provided with some kind of red thread throughout the game with a fair tolerance in taking aternative paths. There are overpowered monsters blocking your way at various points in the main story and they easily one-shot you and your 5 hearts. It means you have to git gut one way or another. The controls and UI take a little time to get used to but once it clicks it gets better and better.
Final notes: So yeah, this game holds up to its score as I mention in the beginning. It's a well rounded experience which leaves little to no expectations unsatisfied. There are a few things I find strange. It's not that I don't like it but I miss an actual dungeon in this game with good old map, compass, big key and a nice item to get but I doubt this exists. I need to say I reached one main dungeon in 38 hours of play time and I might be close to the next one. They arent as big as I hoped them to be but the puzzles are engaging anyway due to the well definded physics.
If you look closely you discover lots and lots of details in this gem of a game. When checking the game statistics I couldn't believe I already played for this long. At this pace I can look forward to play 40-60 hours more.
The fact the game gives you a chance to kinda choose what path you take, like for example u could go fight the last boss whenever u want once u get the glider
Well, there's a number 2 coming out.
Should I wait until 2 or get 1
STORMER 281 get 1, you will love it
@@ryancondon2246 Play 1 until you finish it, 2 it is a continuation
there's also a number 2 coming out somewhere else if ya know what i mean
Number 2 is a sequel so play it after playing 1.
" before you buy " ..... too late o.0
xD
Dash dingo Yeah.... Yeah..... I have been playing this every moment I can for the past week. I love this game. My only complaint is what do I do next. I have only done 1 of the main "dungeons"
"My only complaint is what do I do next. I have only done 1 of the main "dungeons""
Same and that took me almost 25 hours to get around to, sitting at just over 103 now. Unlocked two and three bit by bit along the way (and I'm almost to the fourth and explored Hyrule Castle today), but I haven't gone all in to complete them yet.
Still only at 72 of the 104 minimum (I assume, they say 100+ and since you need 4 per heart/stamina that rather imlies there has to be at least 104 of them) Shrines found too.
Yeah I preordered it lol I can't hate any Zelda game, I get too captivated by the stories, and I always looked up to the Hero aspect, Legend Of Zelda was my childhood, it always has a place in my home, be it a bad game by reviewer standards or an Absolutely Amazing display. It's always got a place with me Because it's Stories like this series that have Molded the very way I think, I reckon if it comes to Zelda there shouldn't be a Before you buy it should be a "Let's have a look at this" Kinda thing
Sigils, ETHEC. There's 120 shrines
Most peoples issues is that they don't want to spend $360 or more on a game :(
+Somebody Yeah, because Wii U isn't being sold anymore, the Switch version is the version they are marketing.
Actually, that's a shame, Wii U has some pretty decent games, for example Bayonetta 2...
buy a used wiiU
Used Wii u is surprisingly expensive...
You can get a refurbished one for 200 dollars.
Before you buy:
Zelda is awesome, the graphics are amazing and it has a good storyline, but...
The monsters are fricking scary
Slow Poke perfect callback to Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask
the story is a pretty lackluster especially for such interesting looking/sounding characters..
@@plasticity1248 it's about the journey do sum exploring the game is more than the main story line
@@plasticity1248 I have over 125 hours and most of that is just exploring the land technically you can go straight to ganon after tutorial but you have to explore I'm telling you
So it's a story game ??
I have never played a zelda game before and i'm a total mario fan so this video very much helped me out
I'm a huge Nintendo fan, but my favorite franchises of theirs are Mario and Metroid. I like Zelda, sure, but it's never really 'grabbed me', per se. My favorite Zelda is still Link to the Past on SNES.
...that is, until this game came out. This game has grabbed me like no Zelda before. I haven't been able to put it down at all. I bring my Switch to work to play for 15 minutes on my lunch break. Not even just a Zelda thing -- it's been a while since any game(other than a Tales game) has gotten my attention this much.
Nihzlet have you played the Witcher?
asgerØK They're both really good.
asgerØK Played Witcher 3 and DLC 100% but have 2 say this game is better and im not even a Nintendo fanboy its my first Console from them
+Noctis D Zoro Same, never before have I had THIS much fun playing an open-world game. Or maybe even a game in general.
They are, but people in this comment section are fucking retarded nostalgia up the ass people who think it has no flaws. They ignore it's faults, and anyone who disagrees is a "sony fanboy". Not to mention you have to pay 360$ to play the damn game, and it doesn't even run well on the switch
Awesome game! I have it on the Wii U and it plays great. Yeah, the frame rate dips at times, but those a few and far between. I've only put in about 15 hours or so, but I can't see myself putting it down any time soon. This is the first Zelda I played since Ocarina of time on the game cube(?). To anyone thinking about getting it, do it. Totally worth it.
Ian Heibel it took me 60 hours to beat the game. it was great
Ian Heibel Ocarina of Time was on the N64 btw.
they made a gamecube version. majoras mask too. i think they were like a preorder bonus with windwaker
Trinity B トリニティビ they made a GameCube version
I'm probably gonna get it, but I am the tiniest bit low on storage, I need 11.gb and I might have to delete smash bros update data. Should I get it?
Finally getting a Switch and BOtW this Saturday, I'm pretty damn excited!
2020* I just bought the switch and got Zelda two days ago. I’m 8hrs in and I can’t remember the last time I’ve had this much fun with a game. It brings me back to the N64 days at my grandmas house. It reminds me of why I love video games. God Bless the gamers.
The Wii U version is actually really really good. It is identical to the switch in terms of graphics, and the framerate only dips from time to time.
EVEN THO slightly lower res but yeah
Oh good, I was worried I'd be forced into buying the Switch. Thank you!
that's not true at all, both switch and wii u version have the same frame rate issues
That's a lie Terminal, I have the game, and it runs just as well as the Switch version.
it isnt a lie. terminal is right. it lags in literally every large city.
Spoiler Alert: THIS GAME IS SO GOOD
yes
Leo Duck The final boss is Ganon
SPOILER ALERT, you play as link
IAmThe GameBoy SPOILER ALERT:
Theres trees in the game
SPOILER ALERT). Link wins.
I love your before you buy series! I had a problem with the rain. I think the rain was a good idea, but not being able to combat it was a problem for me. And it felt like that the main story was way too short. While they put in 900 seeds and 120 shines.
Can't wait to place this game I've. Been waiting for two years. My Nintendo Switch is being delivered to my house this evening. Really happy I made this purchase. Nice video.
Daniel Gurney I get mine in a week
im really really happy that it is being well received. Congrats to nintendo on doing a great job with it
This year is shaping up to be the best year for games in a while. Already we've gotten:
-Resident Evil 7
-Yakuza 0
-Nioh
-Horizon Zero Dawn
-Nier Automata
-Zelda (best of all)
And there's more to come there's been no better time to be a gamer XP

OrCube sorry didn't play it
I’ll never forget the magic of playing through this game the first time and exploring the world and all the intricate things they have in this game. Hope botw2 gives this same since of adventure
Today is the day to find out my friend
This game is brilliant,the little details like the sun rising and setting,little bits of sun coming through gaps in structures,the different wind directions,the way the horse handles.
I have the game on Wii u and i already played 45 hours. The only problem on Wii u is the framerate issues when in detailed areas/Towns. In Kakariko the Fps go down heavy-- BUT it does not affect the gameplay in any way
10/10, one of the best games from Nintendo.
My opinion on breaking Weapons: I think it forces the player to use all kinds of weapons, in that way every single fight is different and newly exiting! (You will never run out of weapons, most of the time you have to decide on which sword to leave behind to grab a better one)
no life
6:14 - Aside from some frame rate drops during particularly busy moments, the WiiU version runs like a dream. I honestly don't think the Switch version improves upon much aside from smoother gameplay.
I like scope that the game gives you, it feels like a lived in world that has been attacked. The one thing that stood out to me from the start was when leaving the plateau towards Kakariko there is leftover battle flags and equipment. Also in front of Fort Hateno there is a battle ground full of dead guardians and craters. they did a good job making the landscape in my opinion
i hope u do a before you buy video for KINGDOM HEARST 1.5+2.5!!!!
guys before you bash on Zelda haters remember, they're little kids and not as mature. So just ignore them and enjoy the game.
Actually most Zelda fans are adults, since kids these days play COD, which so dumb and boring
ShinyClaws The first Zelda came out over 20 years ago. NEXT
I find it sad that 2 people in a row can completely misread your comment ShinyClaws, people see what they want to see I guess.
Ryan Evans I know its sad, at least your smart.
Ryan Evans no
Looks great. I think I'll pick it up this week, I haven't played a Zelda game since Windwaker, I hope I'll enjoy it!
David C you need to play twilight princess
NostalgiaFactor Twilight Princess is nasty
Love your reviews man. This game is honestly a classic. Definitely a must try
The thumbnail is everyone when we find out we’re starting school early.
bruh 💀😂
Daniel Kotselov kdkdkdkd
well uhh,
Unless you're a big zelda fan, I wouldn't get a switch now. I'll probably wait a couple months and see what other game bundles we get. Also fingers cross for MHXX bundled Switch.
its on wii u as well
Mii Rico finally someone with common sense
connorbnelson The Wii U was a generally good console (in my opinion) with some of the exclusives it had. However I don't know why it got so much hate, it was a good console, especially if you had friends to play with as games like Nintendo Land, Smash 4, and Super Mario 3D World were pretty good.
Mii Rico MHXX won't come to Switch, it's developed for 3DS for now, they'd probably do Monster Hunter 5 if anything.
Mii Rico WOOO MH FAN HEERE GOING TO BUY THAT SWITCH EVEN ONLY FOR MH
I love the breaking weapons. It makes it complex and you plan stuff out and adds difficulty. You feel a lot better than usual when you do something great.You never really feel annoyed and run out of weapons. You just lose you valuable weapons but it's really good.
I have spent like 100hrs. In & barely scratched the surface, I am extremely excited for where the series is going, It definitely lives up to the hype, Legendary Franchise.
This game feels to me, like what the devs imagined, and i myself imagined as a kid while playing the original NES Legend of Zelda. It just feels that way. Like THIS is what they had in their heads all along, but didn't have the tech to do it. The graphic style reminds me of Nimh mixed with a water color painting and it REALLY hits that 80's nostalgia for me in the aesthetics department.
Me me big boy
bad day?
Cool cool
I know your busy, this will only take a few moments ok?
Doopy Doody when did the jacks films community get here?
Pupper is smol..
The people hating on the switch and Botw are the worst type of gamer
They are fanboys.
Not normal fanboys though.
They love a console.
But they seek out other consoles and people who like that one and make them miserable.
Just because it's not their favorite console.
I think they're afraid.
They're afraid that their console will become obsolete.
When someone hates on your console, just remember,
They're scared of it.
Buddy, look... No one is afraid that the Switch is gonna make anything obsolete. XD
Garrett Lee if someone played Zelda for over 2 hours then he is allowed to hate on Zelda if you never played the game and decide to hate the they are just idiots fanboy ...
kurumi life nah 2 hours is not enough, they need 10 hours then they can criticise
Then why seek it out and try to stop people from buying it.
just don't buy it yourself, no one minds
Garrett Lee I'm a Pc player and we dominate anything consoles have ever done.. we're shitting on the Nintendo switch due to its fanboys and how a gaming laptop defeats the Nintendo switch's entire purpose
Loved it! But my biggest con is that Gannon was too easy to beat. My first try at him I didn't die and beat him really quickly. Honestly I felt he was easier than some of the world sub-bosses.
This is the first ever Zelda I have ever played and I am really looking forward to future zeldas now but it's hard to get past things without just running away from enemys
JUST BUY IT! YOU DON'T NEED TO WAIT!
I'm loving the game but, unfortunately, the dungeons are definitely not the best in the series. They aren't bad and I love the mechanics they use, but they're small, too easy, and too similar to each other.
some of them are too easy and some WAY too hard....and some are kinda luck based
Dominik Zamojski Ya like the Major tests of strength. More like spam bomb arrows until you win.
More like actually prepare and do them at the appropriate time
or uhh... git gud?
And the dungeons are very important in a Zelda game! They are so much fun if they are done right! :(
Another amazing video. Keep them coming
The breakable weapons was one of their best design chooses in the game. You know that without it, you'd quickly fill up on the best ones and only use a single one of them and have no reward when getting a hold of a good new weapon.
the whole idea of having more then one weapon is stupid. zelda is about fighting bosses, and solving puzzles, and completing complex dungeons. this entire game detached it self from what zelda is.
@@ZeldaMaster500 What about the people unfamiliar with Zelda?
@@jeffghant4760 this comment right here is the reason why games are never as good as they used to be. fuck the people that dont know the series they have had over two decades to check it out.
@@ant135 I mean that new Zelda fans like me won't care about what used to be. They can enjoy the game without bias.
@@ZeldaMaster500 not this zelda. This isnt just any zelda game but a whole new concept

Zelda: 1000 Ways to Die in the Wild
John Doe xD I've died in some of the funniest ways! Dying is as fun as playing the game. Probably getting struck by lightening and getting instantly murdered, or just getting a new horse and it going it's own way right off the fucking Bridge of Hilya.
this is like my fav game of all time next to OW and that saying something because its so refreshing to see something completely new and fun to experience. It really just lets you do what ever the hell u want to do.
good video, ive been playing on the wii u and it runs very similar to the switch version. the framerate drops and sometimes completely freezes up for a few seconds but its never caused me to have any issues in the game. playing on the gamepad is a little blurry but thats because of the gamepad screen, still it doesnt look bad on it either. on my tv it looks pretty good as well (lg 1080p LED).
the motion controls can be a bit annoying but overall I'm loving it, ive logged around 60 hours so far and still have a lot to do
The Wii U is the exact same. As in REALLY GOOD
Kitokeke mmmmm....
naw
ACtually the Wii U has less framerate drops when playing on a TV...which is how i like to play this.
Really? I've experienced a lot of frame rate drops when in the big towns.
Wii U and Switch versions handle the game differently. Whereas Switch lags a ton in areas with a lot of detail, Wii U lags in places with a lot of action
Can you take your Wii U and play it without wall power?
I wanna play this on acid.
me too my friend, me too
Just don't venture into the lost woods.
I can't wait to do this!!!
Fuck that, I've been smoking while playing and it's amazing.
Lord Beerus you've never had good acid lol
Best game I've ever played. You get immersed and sucked into the story, attached to the characters and there are SO MANY UNIQUE CHARACTERS. Then there's the puzzles, and figuring something out is genuinely rewarding and not just on an enhancing your character level. The world is gorgeous and is what it needs to be. Cute or attractive or creepy or terrifying. Bosses are a challenge and a threat and beating them feels like an accomplishment. It is a must play game.
I have it on the Wii U and it is amazing. Best game ever!!!

Top Ten Questions Science Can’t Answer!
This game remixed the familiar Zelda experience with a lot of the good parts from recent open world RPGs and new ideas added on top of that. It's not perfect though. For Nintendo standards it is not quite as polished as you'd expect from the framerate side (it lags and drags when there's something specific happening on the screen even at 30 fps on Wii U), but it doesn't render the game unplayable. The content is great, with so much to see and so much to find, you can spend 60 hours in it and not make story progress at all easily just because of how cohesive and inviting the playground is. I've been playing it on Wii U for the last couple of days and I have nothing but good things to think about every time I stop. That said it's so open and at times overwhelming I can see people not liking parts of it or its entirety. To each his or her own it's still a fantastic game, Zelda or not.
“Figuring shit out is ur reward”. FACTS. I just now ordered this and im replaying WW for the first time in 10 years. And i noticed right away how theres no quest log and arrows pointing me where to go. And. I love it! Just like when I was a kid growing up on Zelda 1.
Fantastic game, 100 hours in and I'm still making new discoveries every day, can't put the game down. Although I feel like the blacksmith that made Arthur's armour in the Ghosts and Goblins games might have had a hand in forging most of the weapons in Breath of The Wild.
Breath of the Wild has been such a magical experience for me in the past couple of days. Exploring the open world without anything or anyone telling me that I can't go there or not do this is absolutely fantastic. The villages in the game are all fantastic and each have so much personality and history behind them, they almost feel real to a point. One of my favorite moments from is using ice cubes to climb a freakin waterfall! It took me a couple of tries and a long time, but I did it and it felt satisfying know that there is a million and one ways to traverse in Breath of the Wild. Also playing this game on the Switch screen is amazing in of itself and sometimes even my preferred mode of play. Seriously, if you haven't played this game yet, get on it now! You are missing out on a fantastic adventure!
TheMasterThief My favorite part was me thinking that i would climb that waterfall, spending many hours, discovering the Zora armor, and going back to find the waterfall
Alright, I'm buying a switch! If only I could find one in stock /:
you will have to wait a few months

I always put this off due to the switch graphics limitations but that change when I got it running perfect at 80 fps on my pc ❤
As a former PC player i switched and botw is now my all time Favorite game
I was like: why did you put Zelda's face on a video about ......... oh yea, thats about right
''before you buy''
first of all i need the switch..
Just bought this on my lunch break. It’ll be my first experience with any Zelda game
Thoughts?
the wii u version is still awesome btw, i played through a little bit on a friend's switch and the main story quest on Wii U and have to say that the Wii U version holds up very well.
