LoZ - Breath of the Wild
This game needs a thread!
Off the bat - let's keep spoilers (story, bosses, etc) in spoiler tags for everyone's well-being. I have played a lot of this today after getting up to leaving the first area the previous night. So much exploring to do in this game! Truly a joy. I like that you have fancy weapons off the bat compared to... any other LoZ game I suppose. I took some screenshots - minor spoilers at best, I found a dragon flying around a spot and no idea if I will have to fight it (probably?). I feel it is a rare occurrence. http://imgur.com/gallery/eTPJu |
I want to play it. Likely gonna be a few months until I can though. Have fun everybody!
|
Never played a Zelda game but this will most likely be my first. While I can't afford a Switch right now, I'll probably get one later in the year and get BotW with it. Visuals for this game look stunning!
|
Almost fell to my death from the first tower in the game. So that was fun.

God I need to go around and get some more stamina. I fell off the thorn tower near Hamtaro-or-whatever Village multiple times before giving up and just going off taking more pictures of ladies with the Stone.
THIS GAME IS AMAZING. |
I have some money saved up. Im a very apprehensive spender... is it worth buying the Switch now for BotW? I probably wouldnt buy any other game until another Fire Emblem or Pokemon game comes out.
I should wait until summer so i have more time perhaps. |
I got lost for about 2 hours right at the beginning of the game because I didn't know where to go even though they gave me the marker on the map. It was turned off somehow and didn't know that you could make markers from the Quest Log. It was really fun discovering the game like that with no guide or anything since I had no clue and was going off of what remembered what they explained.
The game is really impressive and fun, anyone on the fence about buying because of there only really being Zelda at launch will probably be satisfied with it. I have gotten past the first Plateau area and have the glider so I can explore the whole world pretty much. Having so many different weapons is fun and I like the fact that they break often because it keeps me on my toes using different items. |
I love the Assassin's Creed nature of this game. Once I got the glider I immediately headed for a tower a ways away in a section clearly not meant for visiting yet. Almost got destroyed on the way there, but it was so worth it.
Haven't played a Zelda game since the N64. Could have easily skipped this game and the launch of the Switch. Glad I didn't. |

I personally got the Wii U version and even though there are framerate drops - seriously, this game is pushing the console's hardware to it's absolute limits - it isn't unbearable or a deal-breaker for me. It's gorgeous and it's also very much a direction I wanted Zelda to go into after decades of formula. It's pretty much the original Legend of Zelda with all the improvements other games have made to the open-world sandbox genre since then. |

Picked it up yesterday for WiiU. I love it! So much to do and explore.

How open is this game?
Instead of travelling to Akkala by way of horse on roads, I went around the mountains climbing and swimming on occasion and got asstons of ore to get money from, then ran through fields screaming like a little girl while Guardians were trying to blast my ass to cinders. And I still got there. That's how open this game is. |
I've really enjoyed this game thus far. I've been playing it nonstop. I finally made it to Kakariko Village earlier today - it looked so nice! Afterward, I ventured out [to activate a nearby Sheikah Tower] and wound up activating the Zora quest, but I decided I'm going to go to Hateno Village first.
I love all of the shrines, too! I'm trying to evenly upgrade my stamina and hearts. Also, climbing is such a great feature. I feel like I can pretty much go anywhere. |
Ran into the first thing I haven't enjoyed so far: the Naboris dungeon. A disappointment through and through. The leadup to it was very enjoyable, however!

How open is this game?
Well here is a cool side story. I was fighting a couple of Bokoblins at the edge of a cliff. They got a really good hit on me that sent me rolling. Link kept rolling for a couple seconds and I was like "don't fall off, don't fall off". He falls off and lands straight into the river below. I saw the smallest little patch of land at the edge of the river connected to the mountain, I go swimming barely making it because of stamina drain. My hearts are down to only half of one. So I decide to put some food into my hands to hold, thinking that maybe I could eat it in one shot outside the menu system (just so you know, you can't). I move forward a bit and since the piece of land I was on was so small Link hits the wall and drops all the apples I had in my hand and they roll Into the water. Had to jump in to collect them back. I've also gotten to Kakariko and I'm loving this version of the town. This world seems so alive it's crazy. The town looks great and the people are so lively. I just spent the whole in game day chilling with the kids. I just decided to drop all quests and just hang out for a while and see what would happen. Also they are adorable. About to head to Hateno myself too after one more shrine so I can get some stamina upgrade. There are no words for how open this game is. |
