About 12 orbs in, just got to Zoras domain. This will be occupying my attention for a very long time. Who else is binging this amazing game!?

Almost in disbelief its actually this good. Feels like its the 90s again w nintendo.

Yes, it's currently the best reviewed game of all time.

Getting a nearly perfect (98/100) score based on an aggregate of ~70 reviews is pretty insane.

Yeah its hard not to cave in and buy it.

I just wish it had more games on lineup. like Chrono Trigger successor would be nice. Also I'd like access to SNES and NES on it? Is that a thing?

I know Xenoblade is in the pipeline, but what if it sucks? spending 400 bucks for zelda is suspicious. Also, any cloud storage on saved games? What about downloaded games? Downloaded is definitely cloud on the Nintendo account I'd hope... but I heard saved games are non-cloud, theres no cloud system in place to store data.

Thats pretty shitty...ugh so many flaws but so hard to ignore the ratings man... 250 hours to get a "FULL COMPLETE" status is pretty enticing, and 30 hours for a first run through is pretty amazing as well.

faaaaaaaaahkkk.

Honestly, don't listen to me. If it says 'Zelda' or 'Nintendo' on it, I will buy it. Yay having adult money.

Summed up nicely Katrik.

I beat one divine beast (Bird) and just made my way onto another (Elephant). So far the game is really great. The world is staggeringly large and there is a real focus on just exploring the world. I can see this easily becoming my favorite Zelda of all time. There is very little/no hand holding and exploring is actually dangerous. You will do a lot of rock climbing, para-gliding, hopping around on sh!t, and hiding from thunder stroms...speaking of which I have died probably 10 times from getting caught in a thunder storm....this is the first game where when it starts raining and you hear lightning... you better find a cave to hide in or be prepared to get gibbed.

They could completely remove combat from this game and make it 100% 'explorer' based and it would probably still get a 100/100. The combat and Zelda vibe are just icing on the cake.

The autist in me dislikes weapons breaking, but it has yet to become an actual problem and I actually keep getting more and more powerful weapons.

I woke up early Saturday morning and went to buy a Switch after reading all of the coverage on Breath of the Wild.

I am very glad I did.

At first I thought I would never use the switch in mobile mode, but then I played Breath of the Wild. I brought the thing with me to work today so at lunch I can hide in my office and play it.

I may never buy another Switch game, but Breath of the Wild is so god damned good that I will never regret the purchase.

I feel like all the perfect scores ignore the flaws. Weapons breaking all the time is stupid. Cool Rent-A-Sword, hope you like getting 2 battles out of it before it breaks.
Controls are backwards, do all nintendo games like to have the cancel and confirm buttons different than every other system?

Those are the 2 big flaws imo, and I'm admittedly not too far into the game yet, but so far it hasn't been the mind-blowing game I was hoping for.

8.5/10!

Controls are the exact same layout they have been for like 25+ years. It's Sony/Microsoft that made backwards controls and now that's what non-Nintendo only gamers are used to.

You use your weapons too much if they are breaking every 2 battles. You can literally beat every encounter just using the environment and your Sheikah runes.
