When will Zelda's reign of terror end?
Just the logo.
Leaves room for more accolades
I already got all most important reviewers I think haha. (Image is WIP and just example text)
Edit: Removed image.
Use stasis rune on a boulder and hop on

Jeffrey Grubb appears to be a writer for VentureBeat.
I can't explain Fox Ribon though. It looks like he manufactured an identity and somehow Nintendo saw fit to give him one. Doesn't even have a website. That's odd.
I should have shoveled in a couple recent filler news stories and reviews on my website. Might've been able to convince Nintendo to send me a Switch.
VentureBeat, no? That's there. If I forgot any other please tell me.
Also, VentureBeat appears to rate in a scale of 100... All the ratings in the image are already adjusted for how the sites rate. The ones with ?! don't give scores so I'll need to find a word for it...
This game may be the next Ocarina of Time as far as speedruns go if Nintendo doesn't go nuts with patches. Lots of exploit potential
I was thinking...
- Guardian Amiibo to drop an Ancient Block
- Use Stasis Rune on it
- Smack it 3-5 times
- Grab On
- WEEEEEEE!

Fox Ribon please
I ordered a little red goblin amiibo because it looks neat and I want to see what it gives me
SL1 says hi.
I'm sure we will some crazy fun stuff in the future.
Final boss beaten with 29 sticks lol.

Nintendo has never patched a game for non-gamebreaking/multiplayer exploitative reasons
Also Jobbs' review, make a spot for that.

They certainly did with remakes of Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. Also removed the epic Wario momentum cancel in Smash Bros 4
9.3489/10
Yeah I'm excited for that. Everyone talks about how polished and bug-free the game is, so I want to see what glitches and bugs break the game

Nice to Skyward Sword getting some love in here and other places around the web lately. It was an absolutely brilliant game. For a while it seems a loud vocal minority consisting mainly of motion control and Wii haters set the narrative that it was a bad game.
It has beautiful music, art design, visuals, great interesting combat, fun story with good characters, great bosses and dungeons. It had its problems to be sure, variety of locations and environments being the biggest flaw. It was quite easy and much too hand holdy at times. Don't get me wrong about the motion controls too. Whilst I have no problems getting them to work and do not in any way consider them broken, I did feel like they were unnecessarily tacked on in places. Flying the bird and using bombs were the biggest offenders. I like motion controls when they are used intuitively where it makes sense, not just for the sake of it. Anyway seems any flaws that SS had have now been addressed in BOTW, which is great.

Delet ur acont.
well jobbs is a ghost,
Same. I've seen enough so I'm just going to read the text blurb from each site.
Oh I'm 100% expecting people to be able to do it. Just majority of people who attempt it won't be able to do it, especially on the first try.

Ooh, I like this theory. I didn't think of that.

I want to start this off by saying that we're friends.
But, I have to disagree with this! It had a plethora of locations and variety, I felt. You had three core areas, but those areas had sub-areas; Faron Woods for example, which had Lake Floria. The desert, which had the initial area, the sandsea, the caverns, etc. The sky had Skyloft, Thunderhead, several smaller islands (Bamboo Island, Pumpkin Landing, etc). Then you account for the seven dungeons, each of which were pretty large with their own visual theme.
I wouldn't really say that it lacked locations or variety compared to other Zeldas. But maybe it's subjective somehow? Every time I replay it I'm always happy with the selection of locales and dungeons.

The game had so many memorable moments, I cant wait for SS HD so I can relive them all. God I love this game.

No one should complain about Breath of the Wild's graphics now.Replaying Twilight Princess HD right now and that scenic view from atop Snowpeak made me so excited for Breath of The Wild.
It looks great compared to past Zelda games. Far outdone by games on other consoles.
The Trees in the background there...yeesh
I think breath of the wild is beautiful.
Art direction, animation, and color selection are really king at this point. Horizon wows me primarily for these reasons, too, even though it's very impressive technically in addition to that.

Because it's not as ugly as a game that came out a decade ago? I don't have a problem with how BotW looks but this doesn't make much sense.

I bought a Wii U when the intial BotW trailer dropped (the reveal).
I'm about to trade in my 3DS + Vita and anxiously await more stock for the Switch. I'm so weak for Zelda... 😓

Could've left it majority of people trying to do it really
The possibilities with this game are mind boggling. I wonder what perfected 100% runs will clock at?

I never played this game and I consider myself a Zelda fan. I truly hope they make an HD version of it for the Switch.

I judge games by their lineage, not by other games with more advanced tool sets.
THAT doesn't make much sense.
(Breath of the Wild looks like what Skyward Sword should have)
lol I did the exact same thing. Bought my Wii U in June of 2014 after the E3 trailer. I long got over the fact that it was all for naught.
