By Edge: 10The result, for all the longevity of its series and the familiarity of the open-world genre, is a game that evokes feelings we haven’t known for 20 years. Not since Ocarina Of Time have we set foot in a world that seems so mind-bogglingly vast, that feels so unerringly magical, that proves so relentlessly intriguing. Plenty of games promise to let us go anywhere and do anything; few, if any, ever deliver on it so irresistibly. Nineteen years on, Ocarina is still held up as the high-water mark of one of gaming’s best-loved – and greatest – series. Now it may have to settle for second place.
By Games Revolution: 10The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn’t just good, it’s the best launch title I’ve ever played. It will single-handedly validate the purchase of the Switch for many people, and given the device's $299 price tag that's a huge accomplishment.http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild
Congratulations Nintendo, you just earned my first ever perfect score on GameRevolution.
By US Gamer: 10The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an amazing game. As someone who loves open-world games, this is one of the best out there. As someone who enjoys the Zelda series, I honestly think I can say the same thing again. Nintendo has brought together a number of different ideas and mechanics, but integrated them into something that stands on its own. It's the kind of game where I don't want Nintendo to do something completely different for the next Zelda. I want more of this.http://www.usgamer.net/articles/legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review
By Giant Bomb: 10This sense of wonder is something that I haven’t felt so strongly since I played A Link to the Past when I was seven years old. Ocarina of Time was able to capture some of that same magic in my teenage years. Now that I’m in my thirties, I don’t think that I expected it to be possible for a game to make me feel like that again. I’ve been reviewing video games for twelve years now, and I’m used to describing games in a certain way. “This game controls well. This mechanic is innovative. The graphics are stunning. The skill tree feels limited.” That type of language doesn’t adequately convey how Breath of the Wild made me feel. Nintendo may have changed so many long-standing traditions of the Zelda franchise, but the spirit of discovery is as strong as it’s ever been no matter your age. I didn’t think I’d feel the Zelda magic this strongly ever again, but I couldn't be happier to be proven wrong.http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review/1900-760/
By Gamespot: 10No matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality. It's a game that allows you to feel gradually more and more empowered yet simultaneously manages to retain a sense of challenge and mystery--which, together, creates a steady, consistent feeling of gratification throughout the entire experience. Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created.http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review/1900-6416626/
By IGN: 10The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a watershed game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a wonderful sandbox full of mystery, dangling dozens upon dozens of tantalizing things in front of you that just beg to be explored. I’ve had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each one has a unique story behind what led me to them, making them stories on top of stories. And even after I’ve spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend 50 to 100 more trying to track down its fascinating moments.http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03/02/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review
By Laboured Go To PostLooks like a WiiU game.
Shaking my head. 😘
By Laboured Go To PostWill look like a PC game soon.

I should get it tomorrow as it's already in the last mile, but probably not the console. So there's a chance I'll only play it Monday.
Fnac.com, please.
Anyway, been getting hyped with the praise but haven't watched much footage at all. Gonna go in all fresh and shit.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti want to get a switch, beat this and then flip itI did that with the Wii and Galaxy and made a profit. I don't get the feeling that the same type of demand is there for the Switch though. We'll see next week. They'll certainly sellout the initial shipment.
I wonder if Nintendo will try to improve performance via patches
if not I'll just play on cemu (still buying it tho dw). having the game literally pause mid fight is too much for me.

It was teetering between a 9.5 and 10, but with the latest update that went live this morning much of the frame drops have been fixed. That was really my one main complaint.
By masud Go To PostI might have to fight someone to get a switch tonight…You can always do it at Nintendo World.
If you really want I can tell you how to cut the line.
Imagine wanting something so badly that you're willing to risk jail over it, but still didn't pre-order. 🙃
By Forever Go To PostYou can always do it at Nintendo World.I wish, but I don't live in NY anymore.
If you really want I can tell you how to cut the line.
I've never had to preorder a system in the past and I refuse to start now fuck Nintendo and their fake shortages.
By FootballFan Go To PostMy switch arrived an hour agoDamn you
What a time
Seeya m8s
By Forever Go To PostDamn you
Agreed. FF, what games did you get?
Who am I kidding; you too busy playing to notice this post. Enjoy mate.
Amazon still ain't shipped my shit yet and some poor customer service rep is gonna get it if I'm not playing Zelda tomorrow
By masud Go To PostDaughters bed time is in two hours, then I hit these streets…Good luck. Arm yourself.
By FootballFan Go To PostIt's a good game for sureNow I'm paranoid about the delivery people fucking up my shit.
Need this game in my hands right now.
By masud Go To PostDaughters bed time is in two hours, then I hit these streets…
Stay safe, don't catch a case.
Fuck...
Went to 3 GameStops each had two to five people camping for the only gauranteed available units. I'm now at a bestbuy behind about 120 people. Apparently employees came out about 5 minutes before I showed up and asked everyone what color they wanted and didn't turn anyone away so that's a good sign. But it's fucking cold and there's 2 hours to go. I don't know if I'm built for this camping shit...

2 hours is nothing I've waited way longer than that lol.
You've come this far might as well stick it out.

Why do nintendo supply like 3 consoles per store over there?
Then they have way more stock here in new zealand, such odd decisions. I can walk to the store and pick another one up atm.
Who makes these decisions
I hope you find yourself one masud m8

You'll be playing it before me lol.
Played it last night a bit at a friend's house.
Seems legit to be a great Zelda. I'm not the biggest fan but even I could see myself sinking time into it.
The only thing I don't like is the quick menu but I'm sure I can get used to it.
Just so slow it seemed.

Other than the clear resolution difference looks pretty similar. I am sure the WIi U has more frame rate problems not really shown here though.
