Just had an emergency brain surgery almost 3 weeks ago to remove a 6 cm tumor (everything is good :)). My aunt and uncle got me a Nintendo Switch and this game as a gift. This game is amazingly good and has helped my brain come out of the fog from my surgery. Never would have thought a little handheld gaming system could pack so much fun. Amazing game that will have a special place in my heart for distracting me from the pain and anxiety in the early stages of my recovery! Great game!
Never played a zelda game in my life, got this one for my birthday, went completely blind into it and beat it yesterday. Absolute masterpiece, deserves the 10/10
Big Zelda fan. Been out of games for about ten years. Just got this yesterday and a switch right before that. 3 hours yesterday. Im hooked. It's 1998 all over again. Haha
I heard breath of the wild got delayed a year because the developers wanted to take their time to perfect it.....get it EA and Ubisoft?...."TAKE ....THEIR ....TIME"?
UnderThe RedHood ubisoft doesn't rush their games anymore, there will only be ac games every 2 years, the only reason ac odyssey is coming out this year is because they were working on origins and odyssey at the same time
Arcode42 - Witcher 3 and BOTW are both amazing but completely different. Witcher 3 excels at story, deep Side Quests, and moral choices. Zelda has great blind exploration and excellent puzzles. They are both great games but completely different experiences.
As a mid 30's dude, I've always held steadfast to the gaming era of my childhood, NES and SNES. My favorite games were the original 8-bit Zelda & 16-bit A Link To The Past, and I never really got into any gaming consoles since then. That's all changed now thanks to Breath Of The Wild. This game is AMAZING - with wonderful parallels to the original. As a 6 year old, the 8-bit world felt huge, impossible to conquer, and sparked the most wild imaginations. Now, I'm totally taken back and reminded of those feelings. BOTW tapped into something bigger and deeper for me. Much more than "a game", it's the amazement and wonder of childhood revisited. Bravo Eiji Aonuma!
As someone that grew up in the same timeframe, I think Breath of the wild accurately shows what my 8 year old imagination was seeing in my head as I played through the first loz. This game is an experience, not just a game. Really took me back to my childhood and remembering sharing tips and tricks on things we found in the original game with my friends
Theawesomedud44 it takes about if you take your time and like 60 hours if you rush through the story. It will probably take 200-300 hours if you want to 100 percent it. Buy it if you havnt already it's a great game.
Botw Link you sure? Cause to 100% this game you need to complete the story with all 4 divine beasts, complete every main quest, side quest, shrine quest, complete all 120 shrines, get all 900 korok seeds. I might have forgot something.
I'm 42 and have been playing video games since 1981. This is the best game I have ever played bar none. Completed it after 100 hours of play and have been utterly blown away by it - and still much of the game remains unexplored. I never thought a video game would excite the way retro games of old did but BOTW has done it. It will be a very, very long time before anyone creates a game of this magnitude and greatness again.
Fun fact: Scrolling through the entire comment section's first page, most comments complained about others who complained about the game, but not one actual complaint about the game.
Here are your complaints. All 120 shrines. Got the Master Sword, all memories, all 4 main dungeons, etc. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Outstanding game from beginning to end without a doubt and since it just makes it in that mark, I believe this is a masterpiece among video games. The cons of the game are as follows. You can spam health items. I believe it would have been better to make any item selecting in real time but you do have a finite amount of healing items, very few of the side quests rewards were not all that unique (usually Rupees), Would have been nice to continue playing after final boss but no Legend of Zelda to my knowledge does this so I guess it is a very minor thing, the slight frame drops are a bit of a miss and a single blood moon bug which is impressive for a game of this scale.These are all minor obviously and doesn't do that much to take you out of the game, and thankfully for only but a few shrines you have to use motion controls which are pretty clunky and tough to deal with. Sure am glad there was only a very small amount of those though, and the 4 dungeon bosses while enjoyable in their own right were not that specially designed and they all looked quite a bit alike though that final boss was very well done and quite challenging. At least there were some cool overworld bosses though that had some variety. Also would have seen a bit more variety in boss enemies and just other enemies in general. All minor gripes though. Couldn't find a single major flaw anywhere though many might mention the durability mechanics in the game but I do not consider them that much of a problem. It is something different and honestly pretty balanced overall. And it keeps you having to use more items. There might have been a few other quirks here and there but I won't mention them as they are nitpicky more than anything. Pretty much this game does everything else I did not gripe about exceptionally well. So I believe those 10/10 scores it seems to keep getting are at least justifiable. This is as strict as I could honestly be about this game. I would recommend it to anyone but like all games, no single game is for everybody. I do recommend if anyone wants to beat the game themselves for the best experience story-wise, get the Master Sword and locate all memories. Then beat the final boss. It gives a bit more closure in the end. Also locate and read all of Zelda's Diary.
I'm playing this for the first time during this pandemic. Now that I have all the time in the world till this is over. Girlfriend recently dumped me as well and this game is just what I need to get over it all. Thank you nintendo.
It's quite literally the first time I've felt kinda sad knowing full well that I'm coming close to the end of this game. It's like watching a season from a great TV series come to an end. That's the first time a game's ever done that for me. Well done Nintendo.
I haven't played Breath of the Wild yet, but have strongly considered buying a Switch in order to do so. I have however, been through the feeling you described with the Witcher 3 & Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's a painful feeling.
Matt Norris if you have big hands, consider getting a powerA or horizon controller ($15-20) for playing at home, these little joycons can get painful after an hour or more of play
first of all- eyyy a fellow ghost fan wassup, second of all- I think it's the best game ever created, it's not my favourite game ever, windwaker holds that title. I will be surprised if any game tops this in the next ten years
Based off the reviews that have come out so far, this is legitimately one of the best video games ever made. This is incredible. Video game history being made here, fellow nerds!
I'm happy to see it happen. I would have loved to see Ocarina of Time do the same thing back then. I you consider yourself a gamer, you need to play Zelda Breath of the Wild THE END.
Never played it I'm debating on getting a switch lite and this game. Give me some advice. This game or a mario game or immortal. Plz help me decide. Lol
For those of you saying this game only got a 10/10 because it's a Zelda game... have you guys stopped to think why Zelda games are highly rated in the first place? Nintendo's game designers are some of the best in the world. They know how to make good games on a repeated basis, taking time between each installment instead of rushed bullshit like Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed. If you haven't played this game or don't have a Switch/Wii U, go to a friend's house and spend some time with it. I will guarantee an hour with BOTW will change your minds completely.
I would have preferred full voice acting for all the characters instead of the weird grunting noises, but still an amazing game, and I've never played zelda before. Love it!
Sir KG if I compare this to other Zelda games on Zelda standards the trails behind windwaker, tp and skyward. Sadly to me this game felt way to focused on the main quest. Like there is nothing rewarding enough after you beat the main quest. And even the main quest felt short and easy, like there are only 4 dungeons and all are optional
Slotho That doesn’t make sense. That’s the point. They want you to play however you want. You can immediately beat the game. You can challenge yourself. You can 100% complete this HUGE game packed with tons of content.
I lost count how long I've been playing this, because not only can I play this huge open world game at home in my Tv, but I can also carry this thing everywhere I go. I can't say how many people like "this" zelda game, but I sometimes forgot that I'm playing A zelda game, wether thats a good/bad thing, I enjoyed my time exploring hyrule on the switch and even then I still havent gotten all shrines, seeds, quest, so I might come back again....
Ikr? It's a splendid mix of positive comments raving about the greatness of this game and salty fanboy comments miserably trying to convince everyone it's bad. It's beautiful!
Michael Riordan wind waker was great i dont get how people were bored of sailing which was the best part of the game imo but the mirror dungeon and the triforce fragments quest kinda killed the game from being best game ever made like lot of zelda fans claimed in the past
Liam Masters What??? If you like TF2 more then it deserves to have a higher score than BotW. I don't understand this notion that games can be reviewed objectively. They can't.
People complaining about the FPS drops that did not affect the 10 rating Guys. blame the console not the game. GTA V runs shit on PS3 and Xb360 yet it got 10/10
yet it's not an exclusive. the switch port was done in a very short timeframe and the WiiU sadly is underpowered. if you play it in handheld mode, there are no fps dips
As someone who is A huge PC Gamer I have one thing to say. I do not know why there are so many salty people in the comments. Just because Nintendo starts getting good reviews all you people think is that "the media is bias towards Nintendo. This is coming from someone who does not really play Nintendo games and I already know that if anything most of the people hating on this game has not played it.
so far i think it well deserved it score :) and i have only finished windwaker and twillight princess and to everyone i love witcher 3 too so yeah, i agree. Sometimes i dont agree with reviews this time i actually do
Paul Teodori it's funny because the gaming world is actually biased to the realistic games they praise, rather than Nintendo. Nintendo is always shit on as a company because it doesn't follow what other companies do.
Xbox guy here. Bought a Nintendo Switch Lite a week ago for work. I've never been a Nintendo gamer, and I've never played a Zelda game. Bought this game as my first, and I'm absolutely stunned. Approximately 6 hours in and I can say that I've never played a game quite like this. The landscape, realism, cooking, hunting, combat, mobility, storyline, everything is just stunningly perfect! I can't wait to see what unfolds in my adventure in Hyrule!
C'mon people... I see many people in the comments are criticising the graphics of this game. Graphics don't tell a game, it's the actual gameplay!!! It's like telling 'Don't Judge a book by its cover'. And People are also comparing this game to The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn, ok now I have played both of them but Zelda is different. Nintendo wanted to change Zelda's formula. So Zelda just took a couple of aspects from other games so it's not totally wrong. It's like telling call of duty is copying the original battlefield cause it had first person shooting mechanics. I just wanted to explain the people.P.S: Sorry if this comment is very long!!!;)
gameplay over graphics every time. People should stop focusing so much on graphics and instead use a moderate mix of graphics with a nice art style. This kind of look doesn't really age compared to those games that try to be as realistic as possible. WindWaker still looks amazing now and it is quite a bit older. Agree with you completely.
It still shocks me that there is an amazing new addition to the gaming industry like Breath of the Wild, which everyone should be happy about because it's an amazing game that they can play, but yet people are hating on it for NO REASON. 10/10 logic
I have 50 hours in the game and I haven’t done a Divine Beast yet, I’m just doing Shrines to get Link stronger (I have 36 so far), but I have also done a lot of exploring.
For all people saying the only reason it's getting high score is because it's "zelda," well, why do you think Zelda games always get perfect scores. Its more than just a game. Its music, story, and the way it unfolds makes you feel something, more so than the witcher 3 or any other game could do for that matter. Zelda makes you feel the FEELS, and not necessarily because of a moment in the story, but because how much you grow with it and come to love the world and its quirky and light-hearted characters, yet it has a darker tone set for the story and world. Its beautiful, and gamers who love and play zelda understand. That's why Zelda gets high ratings, and maybe higher than games like the Witcher. There's more than just story and gameplay in a game. Its the music and themes and little details that makes Zelda games continue to score so highly. There's a reason zelda games take so long to develop and there's a reason why people stick around and wait for the next one.
That's because those comments complaining about the salty comments are now top comments, look at the oldest comments from when this video released and you'll find the salt mines.
moocowisback is this a post complaining about people complaining that people are complaining about the video, and that These complaints are not present in the comments?
XXX XXX lmao Nintendo first party games stay exclusives. Look at the Wii U, it didn't have a good life yet the game's were never ported for another system.
@@linkalot7415 yeah you are right. It has flaws. But I think what it is able to present is really new and refreshing. Therefore it deserves 10 out of 10. Every game has flaws but if it does something new and able to execute it properly. Then it deserve this ranking.
Crash Bandicoot - I just played Horizon and Zelda back to back. BOTW has better exploration and puzzles but Horizon has better combat, better Side Quests, better graphics, and better story. They are both great games that are fun for different reasons. Probably both top 10 open world games ever.

Looking back at this, it is pretty mind boggling how risky BOTW was. The wii u was a flop, the new Switch console was revealed 5 months before it launched, the only big launch game was BOTW. Think about if this were a mediocre zelda title, or maybe even a bad one? The switch would probably have had a terrible start, possibly affecting the rest of its life span. It was a risky move, but it was worth it.
And now look at it. This game jumpstarted the life of the switch, and it's already on it's path to becoming one of the most sold consoles of all time (if the predictions are right). It's truly an amazing time to be a nintendo fan.
You've got that right. It is incredible what nintendo has accomplished this year. BOTW, Mk8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Pokken Deluxe, Fire Emblem Warriors, and our big boy Mario Odyssey. Along with that stellar line up of 1st party games able to grab support from Bethesda, and 2K from the beginning was huge! 2017 is truly nintendo's biggest year in a while.
@@trungnguyenhoang6821 Exactly what I was gonna say, probably the safest bet of all time. Also very likely the reason it was delayed too because of how confident they were in the game blowing minds!
So from what you guys are saying in the comments, when a game gets a 10/10 it's because the games nostalgia? Lmao, Hyrule Warriors got a 7/10 and Hyrule Warriors Legends got a 5.3/10 bringing many Zelda characters from the past to the big screen yet it didn't get a good score Why can't people just accept a game is good and not go on a total rampage in the comments, there was a reason people were so excited for this game and keep in mind how long its been in development and its many delays, while I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played because I haven't played it I'm not surprised this game got the score it got
because you have all these xbox and playstion kids who where never there to experience what the original zelda for nes, snes and even n64 were like and experience the rich story in each of the games. Link is an icon in the gaming industry and should be recognized as such. If you are born after the year 2000 and have bad shit to say about TLOZ then you are the issue of the new generation
Hey, keep the Playstation kids out of this! We love gigantic sprawling worlds. Why else do you think Horizon Zero Dawn is selling so well? It's the Xbox bros that can't appreciate these games. They're too busy broing out to Gears of War and Halo pretending they're macho because they can spray bullets at poorly made enemy AI.
Cause in my country Nintendo and Xbox aren't popular as PS ,so that's why and if it was any other way i would get switch just for this game :) Damn, have fun playing this amazing game, i ll keep playing Horizon :D wich is also an awesome game!
Is this real? A fellow PS4 gamer not spouting bullshit and raging because one of my favorite series got a good score? This is fantastic! Why can't here be more gamers like you?
Im a zelda fan, but this game is in another level. Seriously, i never thought i would feel that kind of pleasure playing a game after growed up. PURE ART. I think this is the most beautiful game ever. More a play, more im in love. Videos reviews cant show how beautiful this game is. I have no words to describe.
there is actually a video on youtube where u can see future games. i must say im not so in interested in many games, only zelda and mario odyssey...well i dont know its a lot of money for "one" game BUT.... BUT ITS ZELDA xD.
As the first Zelda game I’ve played from beginning to end, I have to say this is honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played. I bought a Switch just to play this game and Mario Odyssey, that’s how hyped I was for it. I can only hope that Nintendo eventually re-releases some of the older Zelda games onto the Switch so that I can play the ones I’ve missed. I’m especially hoping they port Wind Waker and Twilight Princess onto the Switch, those are the ones I’ve always wanted to play.
Why do people constantly try to start console wars? I've owned Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft systems throughout my life and I loved all of them. We're all gamers. We all want the same thing. Great games. It shouldn't be a competition over what system has the best game or exclusives. Xb1, ps4, and hopefully switch are all incredible systems all with their own unique and fun games so just appreciate them all god damnit. Also, if we're being frank with eachother. Pc truly is the optimal place to play video games. It's just such a high cost to get started
This is soo true, I like playing Nintendo the most out of everything else but that doesn't make every other gaming company that is not Nintendo garbage. Ps4, Xb1, Switch, and PC are all wonderful systems and they all have their unique aspects when playing but this doesn't mean we have to go against each other just cause we have different opinions from one another.
Because humans, psychologically proven since the beginning of history, long to be apart of an organization, group, club, or opinion they can self righteously cling on to. Its what we feel gives us power and individualism while also bonds us to those who share the same opinion. Its not just gaming, its professions, religions, and even our political views are all divided in a spectrum you get to choose from. I believe this is where the negative terms, "snowflake" and "sheep" come from. I agree, its frustrating.
As a huge fan of open world games. I would one day buy switch and play this game. It looks really awesome. Hats off to Nintendo for creating this epic 30 year old series, they honestly deserve every media attention right now. :)
I'm a PS4 gamer myself and I gotta say gratz on this game for taking Game of the Year cause sorry nothing else is gonna come close to tipping this. Welcome Back Nintendo I wish the Switch a prosperous future.
This is my dad’s favourite game of all time. He’d hadn’t played a video game since the ps2 and now after buy me a switch he started to play Zelda and now he’s put over 400 hours in this game. Amazing.
So let me get this straight. When a Sony exclusive like Horizon Zero Dawn gets good reviews its considered “legitimate” and “unbiased”, but when a Nintendo exclusive like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gets critical acclaim the reviews are considered “biased” and only gave a good score because its Zelda? And on top of that those who are saying it doesn’t deserve those reviews haven’t played the game. Yep. The reviewers are the “biased” ones.
You're absolutely right, but an argument can be made about Jose Otero being the biggest Nintendo fan on ign, so it is an easy target for anyone who wants to hate on the review.
So let me get this straight: When a PlayStation or Xbox game gets a perfect score it's legit and everyone's happy. But when it's a Nintendo game it's always "the critics are stuck on nostalgia." "They're just catering to Nintendo fans." Bs logic.
For real, Nintendo can never win. This game's got 98% on Metacritic by 44 critics that have actually played the damn game, then you have salty commenters saying it doesn't deserve it when they haven't even touched the game.
strowen the frame rate drops happen every once in a while or so. The critics said that the frame drops weren't bad to where they were severely hindering gameplay.
Runner Up See? This proves my point! Any developer can have a minor problem like frame rate issues and it's a slap on the wrist, but if it happens with Nintendo everyone's quick to throw shots.
This game fully deserves to be rated a 10/10. Its everything we as fans hoped it would be an more. This is a game that will be remembered as a massive leap forward in The legend of Zelda series, for Nintendo and the entire gaming industry. This is a game that was worth the 4 year wait entirely. Its rare to have such an excellent masterpiece of a game these days when most gaming companies only care about the money they can make of the game and not the final product itself. Thats why i as a fan always go for Nintendo becouse they always deliver. Yes sometimes they make bad mistakes but the good things they do far outwheighs the bad ones. Its like Nintendo is entering a completely new era with the Switch after the failure of the Wii U. Nintendo believes in itself again and is confedent for the great future ahead. They show that with this excellent masterpiece. I believe thoroughly that this game will be remembered as one of the best zelda, nintendo and all games that the gaming industry has the offer in its entire history. The last time i was this confedent in Nintendo to be succesfull was during the N64 era when Super mario 64 came out. Nintendo, the big N has done it again. Making an excellent masterpiece of a game when nobody believed in them anymore, proving them all wrong.
Try putting on some quality headphones while playing. This game has some of the best sound design in gaming I have ever heard. Just listening to Link climbing, running through grass, shiver in the cold. Or the animal making noises, the sound of glistering sparks of fire, the wind blowing through the landscape, etc. It is magical.
As a Sony fan, I give my congrats to the big N and I'm glad that its finally doing something right. That being said, Nintendo needs to keep this momentum going with its games (both third and first party). I don't want Nintendo to just come out with a few amazing games on the switch and then just give up like they did with the wii u.
I like your honest opinion, pretty neat. Now then about the Switch, they are bringing an arsenal of games like Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Warriors this year...THAT alone is way better than what Nintendo did their first year with the Wii U dont you think?
SpiceYourLife I was talking about years down the line, not just this year. Plus we really don't know how Nintendo will deal with games in the future. I just hope they stay dedicated like this through the switch's lifetime.
Samuel Shiels yeah but the future is uncertain. anything can happen. what do see it plenty of games coming out this year although most of them are indies but still pretty good games.
It was really really early, I was here within the first hour the video was here and they were spammed everywhere. Now you probably have to load a dozen times from all the time that's passed
The Game Awards are going to be VERY INTERESTING this year. With Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, and other games later in the year such as Mass Effect Andromeda and Red Dead Redemption 2... What a time to be a gamer!
Aidan_Echoes_ Act_3 Ac I did the main story, around 65 pf the side quests, all shrines, and I got 135... dlc plus doing som Koroks hunting is goin to be insane.
watching this again now that ToTK got the same 10/10.. im so glad im alive playing these games, they're legendary and iconic and it's a privilege playing them. thank you nintendo.
the game is still shit compared to Ocarina of Time it wont have that many good reviews : www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time
boof's2cents Nintendo has already stated that they will close the company and NEVER port games over to competitor consoles. After what happened to Sega I'm not surprised The Switch won't flop either, just like Breath of the Wild didn't flop as well. Yet you still have people denying the scores
I've played through the game about 3 times with many, many hours, yet this game never seems to end its breathtaking, beautiful scenery and freedom. My heart skips a beat at it's sheer beauty without dulling.
JUST got a Switch finally only because of my need to play this game. . I haven’t had a Nintendo console in such a long time. Zelda was the one for me as a kid and now feel it’s time. I’ve been pretty much a Playstation fan since the PS1 days and hadn’t looked back. Got my PS2, PS3, PS4 still and just got my PS5 a couple of months ago...so prety much just wanted to say Can’t wait for this experience! 😎👍🏻
I freaking love the way they made the visuals in this game. They went almost all out with the lighting, but used the art style as a way to lower texture resolutions on the whole. Overall, it makes the game run smooth, but also makes it look AMAZING. Anyone who says that this looks bad for a game from 2017 is pretty special in my opinion. The lighting in this game is TOP NOTCH.
Nuka-Nilo bro if you can buy it on the switch. The wiiu version is a laggy mess I'm playing it n At the moment and I played for like 2 days now and i can tell you I enjoy it but I believe my experience with the game would be mich better if I had played on the switch
i don't want an open world metroid prime personally. the fun of metroid is the fact that the entire world is like one 20 hour dungeon. opening it up would ruin it imo
Just had an emergency brain surgery almost 3 weeks ago to remove a 6 cm tumor (everything is good :)). My aunt and uncle got me a Nintendo Switch and this game as a gift. This game is amazingly good and has helped my brain come out of the fog from my surgery. Never would have thought a little handheld gaming system could pack so much fun. Amazing game that will have a special place in my heart for distracting me from the pain and anxiety in the early stages of my recovery!
Great game!
Aww man I'm so glad you are doing alright ! Bless you
Michigan1985 so, how are you? 😁
This...This is it chief.
I wish you a safe and healthy recovery!
Hope everything is going well man!
Never played a zelda game in my life, got this one for my birthday, went completely blind into it and beat it yesterday. Absolute masterpiece, deserves the 10/10
Congrats, man! Glad you enjoyed it!
well it did win goty
My bro, I recommend playing some of the older ones like ocarina of time, and the wind waker. They are equally amazing
Bloodborne is better than any Zelda game!
@@twik2699 Ok bud.
im the type of person who gets bored of most games. I spent over 250 hours in this game and not once did I get bored
agreed
I also get bored playing games, usually stop playing them after 40-50 hours. Plan to buy this game when it's on sale!
Amar Mohamoud its not going on sale, just buy it now
Amar Mohamoud Nintendo first party game NEVER goes on sale.Especially a game that won GOTY 2017 and is a masterpiece.Better buy it now.
@@Ingenium04 did you get it?) I'm thinking to get it but still crazy money)
Who else wishes they could go back in time to experience this game again for the first time.
Miles Salacuse me too, me too.
Ill buy it soon
Big Zelda fan. Been out of games for about ten years. Just got this yesterday and a switch right before that. 3 hours yesterday. Im hooked. It's 1998 all over again. Haha
Ocarina of time was the same for me a true masterpiece
Absolutely. I can’t play it whenever I try nowadays. It’s a game that you can easily forget how to play
I heard breath of the wild got delayed a year because the developers wanted to take their time to perfect it.....get it EA and Ubisoft?...."TAKE ....THEIR ....TIME"?
2* it was 2 years
Wasn't it announced in 2014, that's 3 years of development.
Fun fact: games have to be developed before announcements
Edit: at least they have to start developing
Yea I'm seeing the same thing Ubisoft rushing the assassins creed series and watch dogs and EA is a disaster as well
UnderThe RedHood ubisoft doesn't rush their games anymore, there will only be ac games every 2 years, the only reason ac odyssey is coming out this year is because they were working on origins and odyssey at the same time
9.0/10

Why do people complain so much about Witcher 3 vs. Legend of Zelda? Just enjoy the fact that the world has been blessed with the two games
first world problems
Arcode42 - Witcher 3 and BOTW are both amazing but completely different. Witcher 3 excels at story, deep Side Quests, and moral choices. Zelda has great blind exploration and excellent puzzles. They are both great games but completely different experiences.
That's true stop fighting over witch ones better and play the games they are both amazing and breathtaking
Arcode42 the answer to which ones better is Skyrim
Sturzam The Saiyan Demon Oblivion is better than skyrim and morrowind is better than them all
As a mid 30's dude, I've always held steadfast to the gaming era of my childhood, NES and SNES. My favorite games were the original 8-bit Zelda & 16-bit A Link To The Past, and I never really got into any gaming consoles since then. That's all changed now thanks to Breath Of The Wild. This game is AMAZING - with wonderful parallels to the original. As a 6 year old, the 8-bit world felt huge, impossible to conquer, and sparked the most wild imaginations. Now, I'm totally taken back and reminded of those feelings. BOTW tapped into something bigger and deeper for me. Much more than "a game", it's the amazement and wonder of childhood revisited. Bravo Eiji Aonuma!
Bit late but this comment is awesome
I too am late to reply but I had the same experience with this game. Well put
Kristoffer Wright you should find an n64 and play Ocarina of Time, you’ll be blown away. Still my favourite game ever.
Well explained sir, and I totally agree with you.
The game is phenomenal!
As someone that grew up in the same timeframe, I think Breath of the wild accurately shows what my 8 year old imagination was seeing in my head as I played through the first loz. This game is an experience, not just a game. Really took me back to my childhood and remembering sharing tips and tricks on things we found in the original game with my friends
Holy Shit! For anyone who doesn't know, before Jose Otero played this game, he said he would never give a game a perfect score. This is huge!
Ex Team Rocket Grunt Seriously???
Ex Team Rocket Grunt Yea
Lol yeah the man seriously gave Super Smash Bros 4 a 9.8
Maybe it's because of nostalgia
Who knows
If you buy any game this year, ANY game, BUY THIS ONE!
ProtoMario love your videos proto!
Yakuza Zero is better,
ProtoMario but i don't have a switch
Horizon Zero Dawn!
ProtoMario look at Porto showing up! My only complaint is that my Switch and Zelda doesn't arrive until tomorrow lol.
Just beat the game. It definitely deserves the 10/10. A masterpiece.
snipersev07 how long did it take
Theawesomedud44 it takes about if you take your time and like 60 hours if you rush through the story. It will probably take 200-300 hours if you want to 100 percent it. Buy it if you havnt already it's a great game.
Botw Link you sure? Cause to 100% this game you need to complete the story with all 4 divine beasts, complete every main quest, side quest, shrine quest, complete all 120 shrines, get all 900 korok seeds. I might have forgot something.
noo fool
@Gage Petas I doubt that. Like when you go onto your map does it say 100% in the bottom left?
I'm 42 and have been playing video games since 1981. This is the best game I have ever played bar none. Completed it after 100 hours of play and have been utterly blown away by it - and still much of the game remains unexplored. I never thought a video game would excite the way retro games of old did but BOTW has done it. It will be a very, very long time before anyone creates a game of this magnitude and greatness again.
tcr333 your a og gamer :0
Witcher 3
I felt the same, It had been a long time since a videogame made me feel the way I used to playing as a child
People say Witcher 3 but IMO i thought Skyrim was better. Never played this game though. Ill be getting a Switch Lite
@@Guttlegob damn right. All these comments saying the same thing now I gotta get a switch
50 hours in and this is now among my favorite games of all-time.
i don't know why.. but when i am playing BOTW it reminds me of "Princess Mononoke" the anime movie. It has that atmosphere to it.
Damien John same fam
I know right?! Especially the blue tunic and the fact that you can ride deers ;)
why is that so?
it only took me like 5 hours to get it to my fav of all time
Fun fact: Scrolling through the entire comment section's first page, most comments complained about others who complained about the game, but not one actual complaint about the game.
Sir Kurokodairu Well, if you were early, you would've seen the salt before it dissolved in the water
Here are your complaints. All 120 shrines. Got the Master Sword, all memories, all 4 main dungeons, etc. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Outstanding game from beginning to end without a doubt and since it just makes it in that mark, I believe this is a masterpiece among video games. The cons of the game are as follows. You can spam health items. I believe it would have been better to make any item selecting in real time but you do have a finite amount of healing items, very few of the side quests rewards were not all that unique (usually Rupees), Would have been nice to continue playing after final boss but no Legend of Zelda to my knowledge does this so I guess it is a very minor thing, the slight frame drops are a bit of a miss and a single blood moon bug which is impressive for a game of this scale.These are all minor obviously and doesn't do that much to take you out of the game, and thankfully for only but a few shrines you have to use motion controls which are pretty clunky and tough to deal with. Sure am glad there was only a very small amount of those though, and the 4 dungeon bosses while enjoyable in their own right were not that specially designed and they all looked quite a bit alike though that final boss was very well done and quite challenging. At least there were some cool overworld bosses though that had some variety. Also would have seen a bit more variety in boss enemies and just other enemies in general. All minor gripes though. Couldn't find a single major flaw anywhere though many might mention the durability mechanics in the game but I do not consider them that much of a problem. It is something different and honestly pretty balanced overall. And it keeps you having to use more items. There might have been a few other quirks here and there but I won't mention them as they are nitpicky more than anything. Pretty much this game does everything else I did not gripe about exceptionally well. So I believe those 10/10 scores it seems to keep getting are at least justifiable. This is as strict as I could honestly be about this game. I would recommend it to anyone but like all games, no single game is for everybody. I do recommend if anyone wants to beat the game themselves for the best experience story-wise, get the Master Sword and locate all memories. Then beat the final boss. It gives a bit more closure in the end. Also locate and read all of Zelda's Diary.
lol. That was a funny comment.
This is true.
Sir Kurokodairu
It's because those comments are getting drowned in likes while the salty comments remain at the bottom.
False fact.
"It took me 40 hours to slay the final boss". That is one long boss battle...
Eliseo Palacios lol
Eliseo Palacios still not as long as FF15 secret boos, oh wait no that was a lie it only took an hour to beat that boss.
Eliseo Palacios LMFAO
I think he means it took him 40 hours to beat the game
DanTheMan33088 I think the original commenter was being sarcastic
I'm playing this for the first time during this pandemic. Now that I have all the time in the world till this is over. Girlfriend recently dumped me as well and this game is just what I need to get over it all. Thank you nintendo.
Sorry for you man
Probably why she dumped you

OP, felt the same way when playing Witcher 3 after my dog died.
@@ItsSauIGoodman damn wtf hahahaha
It's quite literally the first time I've felt kinda sad knowing full well that I'm coming close to the end of this game. It's like watching a season from a great TV series come to an end. That's the first time a game's ever done that for me. Well done Nintendo.
imagine your surprise when the sequel was a announced :v
I haven't played Breath of the Wild yet, but have strongly considered buying a Switch in order to do so. I have however, been through the feeling you described with the Witcher 3 & Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's a painful feeling.
Matt Norris if you have big hands, consider getting a powerA or horizon controller ($15-20) for playing at home, these little joycons can get painful after an hour or more of play
I was literally experiencing grieving from completing this game I’m so glad they’re making a sequel
Bro I tried dragging out the end as long as possible xD
Did not believe the review until I finally played it myself... It really deserves the highest possible score, whatever it is...
GOTY very likely.
Shi Tony and you got it right!
It actually won GOTY 2017
Boi do I have news for tou
This is legit one of the greatest games ever made.
Stormin' Norman couldn't agree more
Just what about is so good?
WeedIsHealthyForYou imagine a game with no limits to your exploration, well it's here..
WeedIsHealthyForYou
The openness of the game, the beautiful music and graphics, and the interactive NPCs...
first of all- eyyy a fellow ghost fan wassup, second of all- I think it's the best game ever created, it's not my favourite game ever, windwaker holds that title. I will be surprised if any game tops this in the next ten years
Who’s here after the sequel was announced?
Here I am
J-Squeezy me!!
can't wait but,
long waiting ahead...
*Raises hand*
Hell I just got a switch for Marvel UA 3, and grabbed this one as well. Sounds like I have some gaming to do
best launch title ever
Best video game ever*
ZMM well, Super Mario 64 was a more evolutionairy launch title tho...
ZMM It’s really close, but I think that goes to halo combat evolved
Twilight Princess and Super Mario 64 beg to differ. But it's definitely in the top three best launch titles ever.
You guys are all wrong. BECAUSE THE BEST LAUNCH TITLE IS KNACK FOR THE PS4 BABYYYYYYYY
PlayStation:Horizon Zero Dawn
Nintendo: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
Xbox: Scalebo.......... never mind they cancelled it
that game looked garbage anyway
21st Century Legendary Dreamer Last of us 2> all of the games you've just mentioned :)
21st Century Legendary Dreamer So?
21st Century Legendary Dreamer Well you can otherwise games wouldn't be considered the best of all time, fool
21st Century Legendary Dreamer plus Spider-Man is out this year which shits on all the games you've mentioned
Based off the reviews that have come out so far, this is legitimately one of the best video games ever made. This is incredible. Video game history being made here, fellow nerds!
pleasedtomakeyousmil gta 4 had a 98 too... so...
Wesker12349 "one of the best"
also ocarina of time has higher score
hell yeah
just wish i had money for a switch hahaha
I'm happy to see it happen. I would have loved to see Ocarina of Time do the same thing back then.
I you consider yourself a gamer, you need to play Zelda Breath of the Wild THE END.
why am i watching this, i bought this game like 3 years ago
Same
Literally me
That probably just means you’re obsessed lol
Same lol
Never played it I'm debating on getting a switch lite and this game. Give me some advice. This game or a mario game or immortal. Plz help me decide. Lol
All the Zelda games
Link together
EzNiro oooooo
EzNiro well the official Zelda timeline says otherwise
EzNiro u get props
Woah.
Badum-pshhh
For those of you saying this game only got a 10/10 because it's a Zelda game... have you guys stopped to think why Zelda games are highly rated in the first place? Nintendo's game designers are some of the best in the world. They know how to make good games on a repeated basis, taking time between each installment instead of rushed bullshit like Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed. If you haven't played this game or don't have a Switch/Wii U, go to a friend's house and spend some time with it. I will guarantee an hour with BOTW will change your minds completely.
Though there seemed to be a few negatives he glossed over, Such as the mediocre voice acting.
I would have preferred full voice acting for all the characters instead of the weird grunting noises, but still an amazing game, and I've never played zelda before. Love it!
jewelbell5 well, go play more zelda games they're all quiet amazing
Sir KG if I compare this to other Zelda games on Zelda standards the trails behind windwaker, tp and skyward. Sadly to me this game felt way to focused on the main quest. Like there is nothing rewarding enough after you beat the main quest. And even the main quest felt short and easy, like there are only 4 dungeons and all are optional
Slotho That doesn’t make sense. That’s the point. They want you to play however you want. You can immediately beat the game. You can challenge yourself. You can 100% complete this HUGE game packed with tons of content.
Zelda and Horizon in the same week? What a time to be a gamer!
Blue Danger and mass affect andromeda
Partiasan Nemeses doesn't andromeda come the 22nd?
Partiasan Nemeses that's still weeks off
Partiasan Nemeses too bad Andromeda will be shit
Botw will beat horizon in sales and mass effect andromeda should have released sooner than later.
I lost count how long I've been playing this, because not only can I play this huge open world game at home in my Tv, but I can also carry this thing everywhere I go. I can't say how many people like "this" zelda game, but I sometimes forgot that I'm playing A zelda game, wether thats a good/bad thing, I enjoyed my time exploring hyrule on the switch and even then I still havent gotten all shrines, seeds, quest, so I might come back again....
Rocket 69 Well, your Switch will keep track of how long you've been playing it ;)
I bankr explain it either, but sometimes I too felt a little like I wasnt playing a zelda game.
It is, this is the new era
I’ve played for over 600 hours and I still haven’t went everywhere

10/10 right amount of water
unlike wind waker
duh!
lol
wind waker was dope for it's time dont hate
Michael Riordan wind waker was great i dont get how people were bored of sailing which was the best part of the game imo but the mirror dungeon and the triforce fragments quest kinda killed the game from being best game ever made like lot of zelda fans claimed in the past
This game is really Wii U's final breath

Silver Gamerr right behind ocarina of time...
Liam Masters What??? If you like TF2 more then it deserves to have a higher score than BotW. I don't understand this notion that games can be reviewed objectively. They can't.
Dont worry, just pick up witcher 3. Then you will realize who is the king of open world games.
Silver Gamerr u triggered my inner nerd for a second
@@Nrzpokrter The witcher 3 is now among my top 5 favourite games of this generation
People complaining about the FPS drops that did not affect the 10 rating
Guys. blame the console not the game. GTA V runs shit on PS3 and Xb360 yet it got 10/10
JackOps I agree with you, but games can be more optimized for the consoles they release on
Hitly96 especially exclusives...
yet it's not an exclusive. the switch port was done in a very short timeframe and the WiiU sadly is underpowered.
if you play it in handheld mode, there are no fps dips
GTA V got a 10???
They're reviewing the GAME not the console people.
As someone who is A huge PC Gamer I have one thing to say.
I do not know why there are so many salty people in the comments. Just because Nintendo starts getting good reviews all you people think is that "the media is bias towards Nintendo. This is coming from someone who does not really play Nintendo games and I already know that if anything most of the people hating on this game has not played it.
so far i think it well deserved it score :) and i have only finished windwaker and twillight princess and to everyone i love witcher 3 too so yeah, i agree. Sometimes i dont agree with reviews this time i actually do
i'm not sure but i think if AngryJoe reviews this game, Nintendo will instantly claim they own his video & run adverts to make money off it.
The Greatest Debator in the World I don't know what monetization has to do with IGN's score of this game but ok.
I mean PC has CEMU for Nintendo games so...
Paul Teodori it's funny because the gaming world is actually biased to the realistic games they praise, rather than Nintendo. Nintendo is always shit on as a company because it doesn't follow what other companies do.
Xbox guy here.
Bought a Nintendo Switch Lite a week ago for work. I've never been a Nintendo gamer, and I've never played a Zelda game. Bought this game as my first, and I'm absolutely stunned. Approximately 6 hours in and I can say that I've never played a game quite like this. The landscape, realism, cooking, hunting, combat, mobility, storyline, everything is just stunningly perfect! I can't wait to see what unfolds in my adventure in Hyrule!
It's the best game I've ever played

@@arevalosole91 that is why it's called breath of the wild
C'mon people... I see many people in the comments are criticising the graphics of this game. Graphics don't tell a game, it's the actual gameplay!!! It's like telling 'Don't Judge a book by its cover'. And People are also comparing this game to The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn, ok now I have played both of them but Zelda is different. Nintendo wanted to change Zelda's formula. So Zelda just took a couple of aspects from other games so it's not totally wrong. It's like telling call of duty is copying the original battlefield cause it had first person shooting mechanics. I just wanted to explain the people.P.S: Sorry if this comment is very long!!!;)
Sai Avinash ever played the superior, witcher 3?
You mean inferior? We are talking about "games" here, right?
gameplay over graphics every time. People should stop focusing so much on graphics and instead use a moderate mix of graphics with a nice art style. This kind of look doesn't really age compared to those games that try to be as realistic as possible. WindWaker still looks amazing now and it is quite a bit older. Agree with you completely.
The visuals are gorgeous
Sai Avinash Jim
It still shocks me that there is an amazing new addition to the gaming industry like Breath of the Wild, which everyone should be happy about because it's an amazing game that they can play, but yet people are hating on it for NO REASON. 10/10 logic
They're scared of nintendo beating their precious playstation and xbox games, So they're going to hate on it and nitpick at every little thing.
Fusion Swarly Thing is Nintendo Switch has 1 masterpiece, 10/10 but Playstation has dozen of masterpieces so...

40 hours to beat final boss
im over 50 atm and i havent done a single main dungeon yet
cuz i end up exploring too much lol
200 hours for 30 percent of the game
I have 50 hours in the game and I haven’t done a Divine Beast yet, I’m just doing Shrines to get Link stronger (I have 36 so far), but I have also done a lot of exploring.
The Emerald Axe I have 200 hours and only upgraded all the clothing today.
I played this game for nearly 100 hours and I still wanted more. Easily one of the best games of all time, IMO.
For all people saying the only reason it's getting high score is because it's "zelda," well, why do you think Zelda games always get perfect scores. Its more than just a game. Its music, story, and the way it unfolds makes you feel something, more so than the witcher 3 or any other game could do for that matter. Zelda makes you feel the FEELS, and not necessarily because of a moment in the story, but because how much you grow with it and come to love the world and its quirky and light-hearted characters, yet it has a darker tone set for the story and world. Its beautiful, and gamers who love and play zelda understand. That's why Zelda gets high ratings, and maybe higher than games like the Witcher. There's more than just story and gameplay in a game. Its the music and themes and little details that makes Zelda games continue to score so highly. There's a reason zelda games take so long to develop and there's a reason why people stick around and wait for the next one.
Macius Zaremba well said, dude
Macius Zaremba Habe you even played Witcher 3 ?....This is where feels Hit you

Crash Bandicoot Well..one uf them is at least.
Wilson Diabetes This is why we can't have nice things.
Thomas Linssen or both
Crash Bandicoot - I just played Horizon and Zelda back to back. BOTW has better exploration and puzzles but Horizon has better combat, better Side Quests, better graphics, and better story. They are both great games that are fun for different reasons. Probably both top 10 open world games ever.
Its all opinion I guess. Horizon is more like an 8 to me. But yes both are great.

Looking back at this, it is pretty mind boggling how risky BOTW was. The wii u was a flop, the new Switch console was revealed 5 months before it launched, the only big launch game was BOTW. Think about if this were a mediocre zelda title, or maybe even a bad one? The switch would probably have had a terrible start, possibly affecting the rest of its life span. It was a risky move, but it was worth it.
And now look at it. This game jumpstarted the life of the switch, and it's already on it's path to becoming one of the most sold consoles of all time (if the predictions are right). It's truly an amazing time to be a nintendo fan.
You've got that right. It is incredible what nintendo has accomplished this year. BOTW, Mk8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Pokken Deluxe, Fire Emblem Warriors, and our big boy Mario Odyssey. Along with that stellar line up of 1st party games able to grab support from Bethesda, and 2K from the beginning was huge! 2017 is truly nintendo's biggest year in a while.
@@N8R_Quizzie and now we're getting a breath of the wild 2 sequel. It just can't get any better.
Zelda games have never been bad and when devs had so much joy developing it as said, it was guaranteed a great game to bet everything on
@@trungnguyenhoang6821 Exactly what I was gonna say, probably the safest bet of all time. Also very likely the reason it was delayed too because of how confident they were in the game blowing minds!
you cant walk in this game more than 5 minutes without something geting your curiosity. this world is wonderful, piece of art.
So from what you guys are saying in the comments, when a game gets a 10/10 it's because the games nostalgia?
Lmao, Hyrule Warriors got a 7/10 and Hyrule Warriors Legends got a 5.3/10 bringing many Zelda characters from the past to the big screen yet it didn't get a good score
Why can't people just accept a game is good and not go on a total rampage in the comments, there was a reason people were so excited for this game and keep in mind how long its been in development and its many delays, while I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played because I haven't played it I'm not surprised this game got the score it got
OJorgeO Because it's 2017 and everyone wants to ruin someone else's good time lol
CCT93 ikr
because you have all these xbox and playstion kids who where never there to experience what the original zelda for nes, snes and even n64 were like and experience the rich story in each of the games. Link is an icon in the gaming industry and should be recognized as such. If you are born after the year 2000 and have bad shit to say about TLOZ then you are the issue of the new generation
7/10 is still good
Hey, keep the Playstation kids out of this! We love gigantic sprawling worlds. Why else do you think Horizon Zero Dawn is selling so well? It's the Xbox bros that can't appreciate these games. They're too busy broing out to Gears of War and Halo pretending they're macho because they can spray bullets at poorly made enemy AI.
I m a PS4 gamer, but I gotta say I would play the crap out of this game! Congrats to Nintendo and Nintendo gamers :) !
Why just define yourself as a PS4 gamer? I own a PS4 (and love it), but will still get this game. :)
3BulletsLeft4You preach.
Cause in my country Nintendo and Xbox aren't popular as PS ,so that's why and if it was any other way i would get switch just for this game :) Damn, have fun playing this amazing game, i ll keep playing Horizon :D wich is also an awesome game!
Respect
Is this real? A fellow PS4 gamer not spouting bullshit and raging because one of my favorite series got a good score? This is fantastic! Why can't here be more gamers like you?
Zelda botw is hands down the best game I've ever played. I wish I could forget that I've played it so I can have the same experience again with it
Then you haven't played many games
@@wowftw120 so you are really you going to go around and tell everyone that the game is terrible. Ok your insecure
@@wowftw120 bro shut up
Im a zelda fan, but this game is in another level. Seriously, i never thought i would feel that kind of pleasure playing a game after growed up. PURE ART. I think this is the most beautiful game ever. More a play, more im in love. Videos reviews cant show how beautiful this game is. I have no words to describe.
What is your favoriet Zelda game? My favoriet is Breath of The Wild
I haven't had a Nintendo console since the GameCube. This one game has me considering buying a switch. Well done 👍🏼
Justin Ammerman im considering it too and my last one was the N64
Justin Ammerman maybe wait until Christmas and see if there are any more games you are interested in
there is actually a video on youtube where u can see future games. i must say im not so in interested in many games, only zelda and mario odyssey...well i dont know its a lot of money for "one" game BUT.... BUT ITS ZELDA xD.
apparently its bad for a Zelda game to be good....
mmm nope
TimtheEnchanter Super Mario 3D world was excellent.
Don't know why people are surprised. Nintendo is the best developer in gaming and always has been.
noo way super mario sunshine was better
holy shit best game out there
As the first Zelda game I’ve played from beginning to end, I have to say this is honestly one of the best games I’ve ever played. I bought a Switch just to play this game and Mario Odyssey, that’s how hyped I was for it. I can only hope that Nintendo eventually re-releases some of the older Zelda games onto the Switch so that I can play the ones I’ve missed. I’m especially hoping they port Wind Waker and Twilight Princess onto the Switch, those are the ones I’ve always wanted to play.
Two best games to start the Switch library with ❤️🥰
The final big first party exclusive for the Wii U
BeastBlood1996 and yet, it's also the first big first party title for the Switch
Patrick Leal yup
Feels like passing the torch, doesn't it?
Serial Killer Anime David Bowie yeah
Is it just me, or does it seem familiar to when Nintendo released 'Twilight Princess' on BOTH the GameCube and the Wii back in 2006.
Why do people constantly try to start console wars? I've owned Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft systems throughout my life and I loved all of them. We're all gamers. We all want the same thing. Great games. It shouldn't be a competition over what system has the best game or exclusives. Xb1, ps4, and hopefully switch are all incredible systems all with their own unique and fun games so just appreciate them all god damnit. Also, if we're being frank with eachother. Pc truly is the optimal place to play video games. It's just such a high cost to get started
JR Turner finally a guy that gets it
JR Turner *talks about how console wars shouldn't be a thing*
*calls PC gaming optimal*
10/10 logic
Stuff148 I don't own a pc. That's not my opinion. OBJECTIVELY, pc is a better gaming platform.
This is soo true, I like playing Nintendo the most out of everything else but that doesn't make every other gaming company that is not Nintendo garbage. Ps4, Xb1, Switch, and PC are all wonderful systems and they all have their unique aspects when playing but this doesn't mean we have to go against each other just cause we have different opinions from one another.
Because humans, psychologically proven since the beginning of history, long to be apart of an organization, group, club, or opinion they can self righteously cling on to. Its what we feel gives us power and individualism while also bonds us to those who share the same opinion. Its not just gaming, its professions, religions, and even our political views are all divided in a spectrum you get to choose from. I believe this is where the negative terms, "snowflake" and "sheep" come from. I agree, its frustrating.
Just picked up a switch a few weeks ago with mario odyssey and mario kart. This will be my next game.
Shoulda got this first man lol
Super mario odessey vs breath of the wild whats better ?
@@r.i.pxxxtentacionforeverre949 zelda imo but both amazing
not your first what wrong with you
Played both and party on my buddies, getting a switch in december this is facts the first game im going to be grinding
4:27 the guardian dabbed lol
🤣
Heheh
🤨
Sus
😐
As a huge fan of open world games. I would one day buy switch and play this game. It looks really awesome. Hats off to Nintendo for creating this epic 30 year old series, they honestly deserve every media attention right now. :)
switches are way too expensive rn sadly. /:
twibute $300...4th cheapest launch price. But I guess I can't blame you, consoles are expensive in general
Darth Distortion it was like $500 at walmart last time i checked and everywhere is sold out locally. All online prices are $480 and up
Buy a wii u.
Get Breath of the wild, splatoon, and a couple good games, boom only like 330, or so.
Gamespot and IGN both gave it a 10/10. I'm truly excited to play this tonight.
yeaaaahhhhhhh not going to be too excited for that.
+〈SoA〉Horseman Why not?
〈SoA〉Horseman I wont be able to buy tonight ;-; will have to wait 20-30 days. But i can wait i already waited 3 years
Aww, that's a bummer.
I'm not looking forward to the crowd. I'm not much of a ... crowd person.
Floski ツ Im hopefully getting it tomorrow morning. All Zelda fans have, its been a long journey, but the end result is beautiful
I'm a PS4 gamer myself and I gotta say gratz on this game for taking Game of the Year cause sorry nothing else is gonna come close to tipping this. Welcome Back Nintendo I wish the Switch a prosperous future.
topping* haha I can't type.
Last of us 2 might come this year and may win game of the year
Akshit Bhatia you smoking crack. Last of us part 2 won't be out until 2019
you sound like an elitist...I love my PS4 as well as my PC and switch. Why limit yourself to 1 company?
We need more people like you.
This is my dad’s favourite game of all time. He’d hadn’t played a video game since the ps2 and now after buy me a switch he started to play Zelda and now he’s put over 400 hours in this game. Amazing.
So let me get this straight. When a Sony exclusive like Horizon Zero Dawn gets good reviews its considered “legitimate” and “unbiased”, but when a Nintendo exclusive like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild gets critical acclaim the reviews are considered “biased” and only gave a good score because its Zelda? And on top of that those who are saying it doesn’t deserve those reviews haven’t played the game. Yep. The reviewers are the “biased” ones.
Apollo Justice The funny thing is ign is usually biased AGAINST Nintendo
You're absolutely right, but an argument can be made about Jose Otero being the biggest Nintendo fan on ign, so it is an easy target for anyone who wants to hate on the review.
Celox you clearly don't know the people who work at ign
everyone know nintendo games get 3 more points from reviewers...
phar0ahad3 Sure. That explains Mario Party Star Rush, Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, and Super Mario Maker 3ds.
So let me get this straight: When a PlayStation or Xbox game gets a perfect score it's legit and everyone's happy. But when it's a Nintendo game it's always "the critics are stuck on nostalgia." "They're just catering to Nintendo fans." Bs logic.
For real, Nintendo can never win. This game's got 98% on Metacritic by 44 critics that have actually played the damn game, then you have salty commenters saying it doesn't deserve it when they haven't even touched the game.
+strowen But why though? Witcher 3 had framerate issues as well and no one complained when it was getting 10/10 from Gamespot and other reviews.
strowen the frame rate drops happen every once in a while or so. The critics said that the frame drops weren't bad to where they were severely hindering gameplay.
MrLinkDeity you get upset cause someone has an opinion?
Runner Up See? This proves my point! Any developer can have a minor problem like frame rate issues and it's a slap on the wrist, but if it happens with Nintendo everyone's quick to throw shots.
Just finished the video and after seeing the 10/10 im gonna grab my popcorn before i read the comments😌
neonblackbeast hope you enjoyed the comments as much as I did
What would you rate it on the ign scale? I don't have a Switch so just curious.
neonblackbeast I love the game but a 10/10 is a bit much, I would say 9/10 cuz 10/10 leaves no margin for improvement
Which means no game gets a 10/10
bourdier gustave 10/10 doesn't really mean perfect tho, at least to reviewers. Still, it's everyone's own different opinion
Got gifted a Switch OLED for Christmas along with this and it's quickly became one of my top favorite games of all time
Will buy a switch just for this game. This seems to be the definitive Zelda.
goldleader Same getting one tommorow CANT WAIT
goldleader A Link to the Past is the definitive Zelda
Y'all getting Odyssey
Tree yes of course...just not right away.
Tree lol kids like you only hate breathe of the wild because it's too hard lol.
Excuse? " it's not hard " lol
metacritic : 98/100
It's all over man, no games in this year can beat this score
fran991213 Read Dead Redemption 2 is going to blow it out of the water
CG Third I LOVE Red Dead Redemption. RDR 2 Is probably gonna be amazing... You have NO proof it'll be better than this game yet...
CG Third we'll see, you know a lot of ps4 sequel fail to achieve the success of the prequel.
Rad Netro lets pray that won't happen with the last of us part 2
and thts from an average tht came from 53 reviewers. 0.o
GOTY
MrLaeddis1 Nah, RDR 2 will be taking that but good thinking though.
10/10, but good thinking though.
Love how you guys are defending a game that is most likely going to get delayed out of 2017 as 2017 GOTY.
Jesus Christ JESUS YOU CAME BACK JUST FOR THIS
Mrlaeddis1 no lol red dead redemption 2 will win GOTY not even Zelda can touch that masterpiece
Dude I’ve been climbing this mountain rage for the past 5 hours I thought I would be bored but I’m extremely enjoying it
This game fully deserves to be rated a 10/10. Its everything we as fans hoped it would be an more. This is a game that will be remembered as a massive leap forward in The legend of Zelda series, for Nintendo and the entire gaming industry. This is a game that was worth the 4 year wait entirely. Its rare to have such an excellent masterpiece of a game these days when most gaming companies only care about the money they can make of the game and not the final product itself. Thats why i as a fan always go for Nintendo becouse they always deliver. Yes sometimes they make bad mistakes but the good things they do far outwheighs the bad ones. Its like Nintendo is entering a completely new era with the Switch after the failure of the Wii U. Nintendo believes in itself again and is confedent for the great future ahead. They show that with this excellent masterpiece. I believe thoroughly that this game will be remembered as one of the best zelda, nintendo and all games that the gaming industry has the offer in its entire history. The last time i was this confedent in Nintendo to be succesfull was during the N64 era when Super mario 64 came out. Nintendo, the big N has done it again. Making an excellent masterpiece of a game when nobody believed in them anymore, proving them all wrong.
I just lament the lack of music.
Try putting on some quality headphones while playing.
This game has some of the best sound design in gaming I have ever heard.
Just listening to Link climbing, running through grass, shiver in the cold. Or the animal making noises, the sound of glistering sparks of fire, the wind blowing through the landscape, etc.
It is magical.
All you said has nothing to do with music....
Concelhaut It plays music at the perfect time instead of looping the same track non stop.
Capgang channel Gee, Pokeball avatar. defending an average game that suffered from overhype. i smell fanboy
As a Sony fan, I give my congrats to the big N and I'm glad that its finally doing something right. That being said, Nintendo needs to keep this momentum going with its games (both third and first party). I don't want Nintendo to just come out with a few amazing games on the switch and then just give up like they did with the wii u.
I like your honest opinion, pretty neat. Now then about the Switch, they are bringing an arsenal of games like Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem Warriors this year...THAT alone is way better than what Nintendo did their first year with the Wii U dont you think?
SpiceYourLife I was talking about years down the line, not just this year. Plus we really don't know how Nintendo will deal with games in the future. I just hope they stay dedicated like this through the switch's lifetime.
Samuel Shiels yeah but the future is uncertain. anything can happen. what do see it plenty of games coming out this year although most of them are indies but still pretty good games.
WTF? Finally doing something right? Nintendo has been consistently producing amazing games for years! It's their hardware people have had issues with.
Jielm I agree so much with that.
Ironically every comment here talks about salty comments, up to the point where i loaded more three times and never found a salty comment
lol I was doing the same thing
It was really really early, I was here within the first hour the video was here and they were spammed everywhere. Now you probably have to load a dozen times from all the time that's passed
You should’ve been here when the video was first uploaded. It was a salt mine
I see you're a fan of gungeon, you have good tastes 👌
If you have a Wii U, buy this game. If you have a Switch, you already have this game
Matty Busse not me because I'm only 13 and my parents font have the money

I don't understand why people are arguing over ratings.You either like it or ya don't.
You either like it or
The Game Awards are going to be VERY INTERESTING this year. With Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, and other games later in the year such as Mass Effect Andromeda and Red Dead Redemption 2... What a time to be a gamer!
theyll probably give it to horizon only because it has a female protag and to be "progressive"
That's why you gotta stick with /v/'s Vidya Gaem Awards. They always know what's up.
Don't forget Mario!
Pikastroff And Mario Odyssey! ^^
Mog Gles lmao here are the kids afraid of a female protagonist
"Over 100 hours" more like 300 if you get all the koroks
more like 200
Xbox Jared no what's sad is that someone actually found all the koroks in 4 weeks. Someone didn't sleep
The complestionest 100% - ed it.
Aidan_Echoes_ Act_3 Ac I did the main story, around 65 pf the side quests, all shrines, and I got 135... dlc plus doing som Koroks hunting is goin to be insane.
I actually am 145 hours in plus like another 20 playing offline, and I just beat the Vah Ruta Divine Beast. Absolutely loving this game.
watching this again now that ToTK got the same 10/10.. im so glad im alive playing these games, they're legendary and iconic and it's a privilege playing them. thank you nintendo.
"Surprisingly realistic rules"*link roles 20 feet down a hill and dies*

the game is still shit compared to Ocarina of Time
it wont have that many good reviews :
www.metacritic.com/game/nintendo-64/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time
boof's2cents Nintendo has already stated that they will close the company and NEVER port games over to competitor consoles. After what happened to Sega I'm not surprised
The Switch won't flop either, just like Breath of the Wild didn't flop as well. Yet you still have people denying the scores
Horizon Zero Dawn: Game of the Year... For three days. Well played Nintendo
Lol
Nice Joke
Horizon is garbage compared to this
Sometimes it's best to stop replying. You're making it worse for yourself...
Breath of the wild: game of the year... For 17 days >:)
I've played through the game about 3 times with many, many hours, yet this game never seems to end its breathtaking, beautiful scenery and freedom. My heart skips a beat at it's sheer beauty without dulling.

playstation and nintendo killing it with some great exclusives and then.....there's xbox
Hong Lit Shen my Xbox one is steadily collecting dust.
Dash dingo why do you guys sneak in pc all the time in console wars xD therw is a reason we don't bring up pc lol
Dash dingo ?
You can play Xbox games on PC now Dani V basically killing the xbox since now you don't need it for exclusives
Nintedo has only this game though
Just bought a Switch at 4am this morning and Breath of the Wild, I'm so excited. I'm 38 and it takes a lot for me to be this giddy!
Same I’m 40 was gonna get this or three houses?
@@jasondp3546 I mean, the name of three houses alone should make you want botw more
I'm joking of course
JUST got a Switch finally only because of my need to play this game. . I haven’t had a Nintendo console in such a long time. Zelda was the one for me as a kid and now feel it’s time. I’ve been pretty much a Playstation fan since the PS1 days and hadn’t looked back. Got my PS2, PS3, PS4 still and just got my PS5 a couple of months ago...so prety much just wanted to say Can’t wait for this experience! 😎👍🏻
I freaking love the way they made the visuals in this game. They went almost all out with the lighting, but used the art style as a way to lower texture resolutions on the whole. Overall, it makes the game run smooth, but also makes it look AMAZING. Anyone who says that this looks bad for a game from 2017 is pretty special in my opinion. The lighting in this game is TOP NOTCH.
DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY-
24 hours remain
Charles Dysart the clock is officially ticking, the moon will soon be upon us

I think ill be undusting my WiiU pretty soon.
Nuka-Nilo me to dude
Nuka-Nilo bro if you can buy it on the switch. The wiiu version is a laggy mess I'm playing it n
At the moment and I played for like 2 days now and i can tell you I enjoy it but I believe my experience with the game would be mich better if I had played on the switch
And Switch is portable soo:p
chipsmikslp Actually I heard performance on the Switch was abysmal.
chipsmikslp wher did You got It ?
Don't talk to me unless you fought the lynel instead of sneaking past it
Danyal Mohammad Hi
Just "gift" it an ancient arrow...
I didnt
I did for the fire one, the electric one had less space to move around so I sneaked around it, looking for the arrows.
I did, I teabagged it after I rekt it
For some odd reason, I want to cry because of how amazing this game is. No cap, I legitimately have that “why am I not crying rn” feeling.
I completely agree, I still watch the trailer from time to time and am blown away every time
Me 2 🥲
OMG. Pretty much every big gaming website has given this game a 10/10. The hype is real
1993Jinto no but the payments are. Don't be foolish
OMG do people still believe in gaming website review!!??
Frank Castle lol prove it
1993Jinto um..you shouldn't need those reviews to get hype up...kinda dumb tbh.
Salt is real
now give us a metriod prime like this and dont forget fzero!!!
I would love a gigantic maze for the next Metroid lol. It will probably have motion controls
First Wish granted
You predicted it
Just F-Zero remaining now : ^)
i don't want an open world metroid prime personally. the fun of metroid is the fact that the entire world is like one 20 hour dungeon. opening it up would ruin it imo
Perfect example as to why graphics don't make a game "polish" does.
Spoken Like A True Gamer
Abidinator 12 the game still looks beautiful tho so many vistas
Actualy they do,
Graphics; how many pixels you can fit in a specific size
Aesthetics; how those pixels are used (realism, animated)
Grim Reaper are you okay?
Grim Reaper Do you need help?
This game is a masterpiece, and it's not from nostalgia cause this is my first Zelda game. I literally didn't want it to end
