Holy shit at that meta score.

 

[El Topo]

Any reviews that focus on the story?

 

[kever0nicas]

Watched 2.5 mins of EZAs review.

Couldn't take it. Will wait till my copy is delivered to work tomorrow.

 

[Blobbers]

did Jim Sterling not receive a review copy?

 

[Kouriozan]

IGN 10/10, wow
We had to wait 5 years for this game but it was so worth it.

 

[Shaii]

He didn't direct the game.

The scores are only due to brand, right?

 

[The_Lump]

incoming edgelord/hipster reviews. Prepare for the 6's

 

[SomTervo]

You didn't believe, GAF. You didn't believe!

Hot damn Zelda you are making history again.

i'm guilty, random25, i'm so guilty

not quite eating crow but close

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Holy fuck how does Nintendo do it?

lots of time, lots of money, lots of talent.

 

[Nickle]

He didn't even direct the game.

 

[Kaffeemann]

Easy Allies GTFO.

It's you who should GTFO.

Insane scores overall, congrats to the developers!

 

[AmyS]

They made Zelda Great Again!

Gamesradar - 5/5

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild review: ”It’s taken 18 years, but Nintendo has done it again: this is the adventure game to beat.”

 

[Huge Succeeded]

It's the exact opposite with Zelda though

If you're just going to try and discredit Zelda's reception constantly, on some GameFAQs level console wars shit, like you have been the last few days, then please just contact a mod and get yourself banned the quick and easy way. Anyone can look at your post history.

THE KING

 

[LotusHD]

He didn't direct the game.

Lol

This might review higher than anyone expected.

Dude, my expectations were too low, WTF

 

[Shambalakan]

WOW!!!
It is (and will be) the best launch title of all time?!

 

[Chase Lebowski]

[Sylvatica]

It wont stooooop! I love it!

 

[Martin5000]

Oh god....WHY AM I IN JAPAN AND MY SWITCH AND ZELDA ARRIVE TOMORROW IN AMERICA?!?! ;_;

Go to shin koiwa.
I lived there and there was an awesome game store. Maybe you can get it there! Just do it for Zelda!!!

 

[skypunch]

The scores are only due to brand, right?

Brand name largely influences the score, yes.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

9/10 from Shacknews.

+ Enthralling and vast game world.
+ A plethora of content.
+ Evolves the franchise in a meaningful way.
+ Challenging and rewarding gameplay.
- Switch's hardware limitations lead to muddled graphics and some framerate issues.

 

[White Wolf]

Ocarina of the modern era.

don't you mean, ocarina of the modern time ?

 

[mjp2417]

These kinds of reviews are both extraordinary and unsurprising. The buzz around this game has been unlike anything I can remember in quite some time.

[Hoho for breakfast]

I think it was going to score so high not only because it'll be a fantastic game but being the Wii U swan song + Switch launch is going to help reviews. Nobody wants to see it fail when it comes down to it.

Also, no 8s yet. I'm telling you people will flip out. Imagine like a 7.9 lol

 

[AGoodODST]

Nintendo's first attempt at a true open world and they do it better than everyone else.

lol

 

[Unison]

Whorizon?

Dang, it's overtaken my expectations.

 

[The Last One]

Mine's up also, and it's massive!

Also, it's so big it required a separate companion article.

Jesus Christ


The Polygon and Kotaku are also mind blowing ones

 

[BitStyle]

Goddamn!

Can't wait to get my paws on this at midnight

Ex-ONM Chris Scullion's review

https://tiredoldhack.com/2017/03/02/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-switch-review/

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is the best Zelda game to date.

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is the best game I’ve ever played in my life.

[Indelible]

I have no words to describe how hyped I'am for this game, Friday will be glorious.

 

[Principate]

Unquestionable GOAT series. The fucking King has returned.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Fuck it y'all.

This is an amazing goddamn game.

My review at USgamer. 5/5. And I hate giving those out.

Open for questions, as always.

how is the voice acting

it seemed like one of the only rough spots in the trailers. is it still as hammy and cheap sounding? :/

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Nintendo's first attempt at a true open world and they do it better than everyone else.

lol

Sounds like Nintendo alright

 

[CEJames]

Ugh....I'm salty it's doing so well. Horizon is officially taken off of its pedestal.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Review from Gamecentral:

http://metro.co.uk/2017/03/02/the-l...-of-the-wild-review-best-of-the-best-6483294/

In Short: The best Zelda there’s ever been, and very possibly the best video game ever made.

Score: 10/10

(Gamecentral reviews rather like Edge, so a 10 is a big deal)

wow

 

[LotusHD]

Nintendo's first attempt at a true open world and they do it better than everyone else.

lol

I kept telling my friends, if Nintendo can't do it right, then no one can

 

[JoeM86]

One from Nintendo Insider

Nintendo Insider - 10/10

Breath of the Wild delivers the adventure of a lifetime, and it is exciting that it will thrive on shared experiences around the way that everyone chose to interact with the world before them. 

We have long awaited the day that Ocarina of Time was dethroned, and here we have a renewed blueprint that will similarly have a momentous impact on where the series is steered next. How appropriate it is, then, that Breath of the Wild will be remembered as a legend in its own right and, perhaps, the greatest game that Nintendo has ever created. Never has a world impressed me so much.

 

[metalslimer]

Before anyone bashes Easty Allies (yes I know it's a 9 but some will) they say the only real problem is they faced some serious framerate issues docked.

 

[Little Mons†er]

ALL THOSE 10s!!!!!!!

SLAY QUUEN!

 

[MonsterCrab]

10/10 on Dutch site Gamer.nl

English translation of the conclusion:
"Breath of the Wlid offers the same great feeling of scale and adventure as the first Zelda-games. This game throws you in at the deep end, and you get a great sense of freedom in return. The new version of Hyrule is to die for."

 

[Herb Alpert]

Ho fuck

 

[PillarEN]

Gamesradar 5/5

http://www.gamesradar.com/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-review/

"Refreshingly jank-free for a game this size"

That Bethesda shade lol

 

[Hoo-doo]

Congrats Nintendo fans, the wait really paid off. Incredible scores.
