finished this masterpiece
this is the best Zelda game and the best Nintendo game EVER
it truly is a remarkable achievement in the gaming industry
it gives you the true definition of Adventure that no game has ever done until BOTW, gives you the freedom to do whatever you want and when you want, this is the freedom i wanted in a video game
BOTW is like the most video game video game ever
i'll start with what the game does right
+ the best open world exploration EVER, exploring the huge world of BOTW was so much fun and addicting, unlike games like Skyrim and Witcher 3, i love them both but when you explore their world you're mostly gonna be bored in few hours, in BOTW, it's so much fun and addicting that i didn't even want to use Fast travel, when you see the world in the trailers you would think it's empty like MGS V and FFXV, but no, there is so much things to do and discover, FUN things not boring typical things like in Ubisoft games
+ the shrines, holy shit, the damn brilliant shrines, how did they make them ?? so much creativity in such a huge game, i think if they released a game with the shrines in BOTW alone, it would still be a masterpiece
+ the loot is so awesome and there is so much things to find and add to your inventory, unlike Horizon where there is not a single weapon to find in the world
+ huge variety in gameplay mechanics, you can stealth, you can surf, you can drop things on enemies, you can use the weather to your advantage, i had a helm that protects me from lightning, so i got near an enemy and let the lightning hit me, ofcourse i got nothing thanks to the helm but the poor enemy has turned into a steak, there is much more to be discovered
+ the variety of the world, there is lava, ice, jungle...Etc, just like we are used in the Zelda series
+ the Korok seeds puzzles, there is 900 of them, and no, they are not all the same, they are different, creative, and can be found in the most unexpected places
+ the mini games are so damn good and varied from Sand-seal racing, snowling, surfing and more
+ the shrine quests, those are my favorite part of the game, they are so UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE good, so much of them and they are the most creative riddles i have played in a video game
+ the game is challenging this time especially in the beginning, in previous Zelda games, when you fight a boss, you can kill him without touching you, usually with the 3 hit kill, but in BOTW, if you are not prepared you will get your ass kicked
i know there is much more to be talk about concerning the positives of this masterpiece
now i'll list the negatives, every great game has flaws( except RE4 )
- the "Dungeons" i don't know why nintendo decided to change and ruin the best thing in the Zelda games, they ruined everyhing that was good in the Dungeons, no more keys, no more varied environment, no more mini-boss room, no more boss room, the boss nearly has no tactics, all the bosses look and fight almost the same, the "Dungeon is small AF and it's always inside a machine, and there is no enemies, it's so bad and dead inside, what a shame
- the whole bosses of the game, they really disappointed me with this, Zelda games bosses were amazing and had unique ways to kill them, now they turned them into a normal enemy with huge health with no unique way to kill
final score: 10\10
despite it's flaws, the game gave me an amazing experience that no game ever did, which is exploring a huge world and actually loving it without looking for fast travel
Nintendo has created one of the greatest game of all time, i have never been this addicted to game in my whole life, i woke up, turn my wii u even before going to the bathroom so i can charge my controller, play for at least 15 hours straight, NEVER BORED, i only stop because i'm exhausted and need to sleep, even when on breaks like eating, i think about the game and where to go next on my adventure
my Game of the generation remains The witcher 3, if BOTW had Dungeons like Twilight princess, it would have surpassed Witcher 3, but BOTW is now my second favorie game of the generation, surpassed MGS V
i hope in the next 6 years when we get a new Zelda game, they keep everything from BOTW and focus on the Dungeons and make them like the classics ones
i cannot wait to see what Nintendo do in the next Zelda game, i know many won't agree with me, but i hope they do nothing like Majora's mask
