Seems like a decent game

 

[inc77]

Oh god these scores... I cannot wait

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Holy shit. This really makes me want to get this but the Wii U version's performance makes me not want to.

 

[Stereogatari]

.

Trusted reviews: 5/5

Another greatest game of all time.

This shit is serious isn't it.

Will I miss much by playing it on WiiU?

 

[ratcliffja]

But he didn´t. Fuji-... did it. He also made Minish Cap (best 2D Zelda) and SkyS

Minish Cap is so, so good.

 

[Banjotanooki]

GAF, if I want to play the Switch version, I'll have to wait until April when I get back from Japan.

Or....

Download the Wii U version on my Wii U which I brought to Japan. What to do?!?!?

 

[BitStyle]

Well my MC prediction was btfo

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I suppose all reviews are of the Switch version?
No one got a review copy for WiiU?

 

[JoseDFrog]

Opencritic down to 98 :/. Why can't we get a perfect Zelda? This blows I'm canceling my preorder.

Spoiler

why are there so many good games out right now!?

 

[Milennia]

How the fuck am I supposed to go to school today

 

[munchie64]

Still more that then they gave Horizon.

Yeah. The other Allies kept giving Damiani shit for WW tho lol

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The scores are amazing.

The fact that a number of outlets are calling "the greatest game of all time", even more so.

Damn.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Very happy that it's reviewing so well but I'm surprised that nobody seems to be complaining about the combat. I'm really not feeling it so far. Maybe it gets better.

 

[ckaneo]

That Metascore is like like ffffuuuuuck.
Time to get a WiiU i guess.

Considering the technical flaws, Im not quite sure the wii u version will score as high

 

[Charles Brandon]

woo fucking hoo

 

[Theorry]

Those framerate issues sound very bad tho.

 

[LordOcidax]

Shiiieeettt

Talent ALWAYS wins!

 

[LotusHD]

What an insane start to the year, Zelda looks like a contender for a GOAT. One day I'll get a switch.

Bruh, these reviews are saying it's the contender lol

 

[Andiie]

Wow at the scores. Well done, Nintendo.

 

[Chaos17]

Am i forced to slaughter cute animals for meat? this is important

Nope, you can go 100% veggie

 

[fierrotlepou]

Well shit, I'll have to buy it huh? And a Switch too.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

So nintendo goes from 2D to 3D with Ocarina and creates a masterpiece. Then nintendo ditches most zelda traditions and goes open world with BoT and apparently does it again. So hype for tomorrow.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

From Nibel:

 

[NyMartin90]

Any feedback on Wii U version?

 

[Unison]

But is it Oscar-worthy?

 

[A Link to the Past]

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

To be fair, one of the reasons why launch games are often not good is because later games have more opportunities for refinement; BotW on Switch was in development for the entirety of the Wii U's lifespan.

 

[Frodo]

GAF, if I want to play the Switch version, I'll have to wait until April when I get back from Japan.

Or....

Download the Wii U version on my Wii U which I brought to Japan. What to do?!?!?

My predicament at the moment

 

[Vampirolol]

Everyeye (italian) gave it a 9/10

http://www.everyeye.it/

 

[takriel]

This will settle at 97 or 96... holy shit!

 

[TheBlackAdept]

Is posting my own in here to be added OK? If so, mine for Zam:

[Garrett Hawke]

Bruh, these reviews are saying it's the contender lol

bloodborne was robbed

 

[Jacobson]

I can just hear Dunkey yelling "IT'S A MASTERPIECE!"

 

[MHWilliams]

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? :/

Solid to absolutely dire.

So the game's pretty good then or what?

Damned good.

What is the weakest feature in the game? things that makes you think that Nintendo could have done slightly better on.

Voice acting? Graphics are also a bit rough, due to the limitations of the Switch. Most who are going to play won't care though.

Am i forced to slaughter cute animals for meat? this is important

Not forced, but you probably will. I fucked up some deer.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Time: 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild' Is a Masterpiece.

 

[jdstorm]

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.

Stupid Question time.

Whats the Horse AI like? Did it feel like 4 years worth of work by one designer was put to good use?

 

[vaderise]

There are like a shitload of reviews saying that this is easily the best Zelda game.
I think there we have it guys, the true good Zelda of our age.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

So much high praise. I cant wait to play it.

Best Zelda game
Best Nintendo game yet
Game Of The Generation
Best game of all time?!

Holy shit at the metacritic score!

Wow I didnt even expect it to be that high and I was expecting very high. I didnt think it would ever go past 96.

 

[Realeza]

Those framerate issues sound very bad tho.

10/10

 

[tolkir]

The Guardian 5/5

 

[MikeBison]

Skipped through a video until I heard the words "get you ready (puzzle rooms) for the daunting and excellent dungeons" and NOPED out. Hype through the roof!

 

[Hasney]

Fuck it, I can't keep up with all the quotes. One more from Tye and I'm done

 

[Kouriozan]

Good luck Dystify, seems you are busy right now haha.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Never witnessed anything like this before. Can't wait to play it. I'm staying away from all the review videos, though I want to watch them all badly.

 

[SomTervo]

As much as they have also produced something incredible and received a lot of recognition and success for it, I feel goddamn bad for Guerrilla Games and the Horizon guys right now.

Like, Horizon Zero Dawn is a fucking amazing game.

But Zelda is stealing that thunder. Hard.

 

[AGoodODST]

Not Nintendo's but EPD's first true open world. Monolith Soft did it before them.

Oh yeah I forgot about XBX. That one was great too.
