One of the best games I've ever played. There's not much else beside I wish I got amnesia so I could play this game again. Although, that were my thoughts about 5 years ago when I played it for the first time. I think now, I've become so jaded in video games that I have no idea how well BoTW holds up today.
Found the game very tedious, with a bunch of copy paste outposts, smaller places of interests inbetween and a large walk to the other side of the map just to advance the story a little. The story was decent although I don't remember much from my DS days. Maybe it's just not what I look for in a game now
Easily one of the greatest games of all time
This game consistently hovers around my 1-3 spot in my favorite games ever for numerous reasons, but anyone who's played the game before knows that the reason it's so good is the open world.
Breath of the Wild was one of the first AAA games to give players a truly free open world. Players could do anything they wanted to, however they wanted to, and whenever they wanted to. The only mandatory part of the game was the tutorial section and after that there was 100 hours of you being able to mess around however you want. Playing this game made me feel like a little kid out on a playground doing whatever I thought was fun. I didn't have any parents telling me to get down from there, or to do this quest before I go beat the boss. There weren't any parents yelling at me to get down from there or telling me that this area is too high level for me. Breath of the Wild was a truly free experience and it perfectly encapsulates what a videogame should be.

Absolutely fantastic open world game. With that, I do wish there was more to the story and we got more drawn out characters. Clearly that was not the objective of this game but I always look for that kind of stuff in Zelda games. Since Link himself has no personality, the lack of other characters and lack of personality from other characters makes the game feel soulless at times.
Replayed the game, but in mastermode for the first time. It was difficult at the begining but wasn't too hard after a while. I also never used fast travel and instead just wandered around the map on foot/horse. It was fun to revisit it after tears of the kingdoms' release, and it still holds up I'd say. Its a lot simpler and lacks a few of the QOL changes in totk, but unless youre playing them back to back its not really something you notice or pay attention to, besides a few times where I wish i could use ascend.
Where do I even begin with how great this game is I love it some much it is probably my favorite game of all time. One of my favorite parts about it is freedom to do whatever you want and there is so much to do. The story is great, the bosses are mostly great and the npcs and enemies are great. So much fun.
