The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - US Version

This is just a fight game I recieved a Used game that was missing it's pamphlet the used order was cancelled that this changed to new condition without approval we would have possibly just cancelled. It is nothing like Zelda Ocarina that was a group of small mini games all sewn together in a fairly great fable. At first I was very hesitant to buy this game because a serious gamer said he beat it in 30 hours and we had a few years of fun playing Zelda Ocarina of Time all it's side games and mini games while using it to teach the children to read instructions. They became great fans of Zelda and when they got older asked for a Wii they specifically asked for the game and bow set up for I guess the name was Link for their birthdays as they both are born in March. I have not played this Link line of games since Nintendo 64 and as I play through it not using walk throughs as I was told it is a short game I am learning this young man must have skipped all the side actitivies, competitions and looking for all the game gifts just fought his way through the game.I think if the information that comes with the new game helps play the game it would have been worth purchasing a new game or at least a book to help me find things. I do not know if there is a map to discover in the game like in Ocarina but I am very lost and tracking backwards without a good map in this game. I hope it turns up somewhere or I can buy it as I just bought salt for the recipes. The recipes are fun it would be nice if I could keep a list of what was done so I can make the better ones again as I discover them in game play. I find the mountains very difficult to climb without the speed and stamina elixers.It is growing on my slowly.This is not a child's game like Zelda Ocarina of time with brighter colors that would probably be excellent updated for the Switch for younger children...but it is an adventure game. At first because it is a big jump from the 64 game I did not like it but as time went on it began to grow on me I am beginning to like it but I sure would like a map I am so lost even driving without a physical recent map.Do you want a nice review or do you want the truthThe graphics apparently are very good on Zelda Breath of time for the Switch.But like with Skylanders Imaginators which runs on Toys to Life which I began playing because my nephew plays it on my Switch gifted to me for Christmas.I found the new Switch Zelda game to be very difficult loaded constantly with Boss monsters and difficult puzzles.These is only normal run and Pro run games so it is apparently designed for the hard core gamer unlike the Zelda Ocarina of time I bought used for near new price many years after it as designed for the Nintendo 64 because it was more a younger persons puzzle and adventure game loaded with mini games and not as much violence.This is a Hard core games game apparently someone who just finds a way to fight to the end then resells or soon after purchasing it like I bought it used missing all the pamphlets and information and then it was tried to be foisted off on me as a new game.If it had been new I would have returned it because I am a beginnger level player always will be even though I have playe 20 years.I use walk throughs and information to help me play most games.But as this is a constant fight fight fight M for Mature Violent game now if you are a hard core gamer you can rent the game fight through ignore all the side quests, not enjoy the horses which are very untameable and do not follow good directions so much I often found myself walking and whistling for the away horse.If you like near impossible puzzles and fighting very few clues in a game that does not like to let you go back where you have been and just want to fight through a game this is the game for you.But rent it and play it on the Switch handheld counsel as it looks very washed out on the tv.Designed for the Switch and for the Hardcore gamersNot a child's game.But if you are a hard core gamer I suggest you get the Ammibos to up the gameplay a bit which they do not tell you can be used in the game and run it on professional level before you try to resell it.Also the harder part of the game than the monsters are some of the many Shrine puzzles one which runs like a marble roll game there is a trick I am working out on how to solve it.If it was for a child or a novice player and less about fighting and adventure I am sure it would be kept by the right people driving up the pice like Animal Crossing has.If you want a review that you do not pay fordon't punish the honest person for saying I don't like itBut the hard core gamers love it.So I knew when someone told me they beat it in 30 hours it as probably just a bang bang fight fight hit hit hard core gamers game.I rate it M for Mature and Lots of Game violence as the bully monsters constnatly beat up travelers whom you can save to come back and find them stuck eternally in the same scenario with the same monsters for the same small monster organ rewards for killing them and saving the victims.I found most the recipets to be near worthless against Boss Monsters which this game is loaded with.I give it a big thumbs up for young hard core fight gamers but for novice and children along with parents I suggest you find a game that is less violent as apparently children are shooting us after playing this lot of very violent games out now.If you are a hardcore gamer like the Game store employees are rent the game don't open the package and try to sell it off to me as new after you have used it or here. And remember some of us who are not serious gamers need the pamphlets and all the help we can get because our minds are different than yours we like to stop eat the apple, cook the meals, see the worlds all over Built by Nintendo and buy the Amiibos.I did not want to buy the game at the game store as I knew as hard as the employee tried to sell it to me "new" at a reduced price he had played it while off work and then brought it back repackaged it. Don't sell me a game think I don't know it is not new and do not change the name to new condition and then charge me illegally to my credit card for a used game especially when I know it is missing every single pamphlet that it comes with that gives information like you can use an Amiibo in the game.This game after all these years seems to still be a single player game which having the option for 2 to 4 player adventuring and fighting the huge monsters online or at home would surely be more entertaining.If I had paid full price I would be disappointed and stuck with a Used game. Rent these games first before buying if you can find a place to rent them. But so far I have put the Switch down sometimes for months like the Xbox One which has not been used in over a year as the PS3 controllers can be run wired not run out of battery power, run on the tv and the cherished but not mass produced PS vita system which still runs high used because of limited production and high popularity for the number produced.As I understand it is a loved Gamer hard core game I gave it a 5 starbut for me I give it as sit in the corner now for awhile if the horses are not able to be tamed and are programmed to run away from any sigh of trouble or into a big fight to kill you no in between the horses are crazy. So just walk through.If all you want to do is run to the end not enjoy the fabulous perk hard to tame and catch seriously wild horses that develop personality issues such after encountering Ogres and other monsters rent the game don't try to resell it to me as new as I buy new games also but as these sold out it has been difficult locally to find it not being resold as a new game when it is used also.

Game of the year!!! Congrats Nintendo!Very beautiful game.I didn't want it to end. After 100 hours I decided to beat Ganon. I completed 112 shrines, collected over 200 korok seeds and completed many quests. I decided to start a new game and it still feels like a new experience. I find myself going straight to my favorite parts of the game and it is still amazing that there is no mandatory order or path to keep going.I feel like over the years everyone has been spoiled with better graphics and gameplay. The most complaints I heard about the game was frame rate/lag issues, especially around multiple monsters or non-playable characters. But that means nothing to me. I experienced it a few times but it did not drop the game rating from 5 stars.I love the scenery. No matter where you are there is always something beautiful to look at. The landscapes are gorgeous and I love the way everything shines when it rains. Catching wild horses is also fun. I swear I have caught over 40 or 50 horses.It doesn't matter what you get into in the game. There are always tricks to getting more of what you want. Take a picture of whatever you want to find, vegetables, stones, ingredients, tools, weapons, anything really, and your Sheika slate (tablet that Link uses in the game) will help guide you to find more. I'm always looking for precious metals/stones and it is the easiest way to get 10 thousand rupees or more. However much you need or want.There are so many quests and challenges. Puzzles that require you to find different characters to get hints or answers. Or to help you find a location of something. Everyone has their own likes and opinions, but to me, Breath of the Wild has no frustrating tasks or quests. I have enjoyed every bit of the game. I loved, loved, loved Breath of the Wild.The first Zelda game I played was on the Gameboy, Oracle of Seasons. I thought it was fun and great. Especially for its time and portability. I did not consider myself a big Zelda fan until Twilight Princess, though. I own the Wii version and the HD version for the Wii U. I think it will always be my favorite. It is hard to beat a game that allows you to turn into a wolf! I was very excited when I found out that you could bring wolf Link into Breath of the Wild and even use Epona. I use both of them all the time. I'm also very excited about the upcoming DLCs and new story to come. UPDATE: They are here! Very good so far! Good back stories.Recently, I have started playing Ocarina of Time on my 3DS. It is hard to get used to the controls, the smaller screen, and lower graphics but I have heard from so many of my friends that it is one of the best Zelda games ever made. It is hard to compare Breath of the Wild to Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword because you do not have all of the freedom to roam around wherever you want. Breath of the Wild IS freedom. Skyward Sword did give you the option to fly anywhere above the clouds and the worlds were very big but it still does not come close to Breath of the Wild. I haven't played Wind Waker, Majora's Mask or other remakes and older entries of the series but I will eventually.

⭐ Rating: 4.9/5“Breath of the Wild” isn’t just a game—it’s an experience. From the moment you step into its vast, open world, it recaptures the magic of childhood gaming, evoking a sense of wonder, exploration, and limitless possibility. It’s as if Minecraft and Fallout had a baby, offering both the freedom to carve your own path and the deep, engaging storytelling that keeps you hooked for hours.The beauty of this game lies in its non-linear design. Whether you’re diving into main quests or getting lost in a side mission that spirals into an unexpected adventure, there’s always something new to discover.

The current hardware struggles at times, and while it doesn’t ruin the experience, it does leave you wondering how much more immersive the game could be with upgraded performance.Should You Buy It?✅ Absolutely. If you love open-world adventures that let you play your way, explore endlessly, and feel genuinely free, this is one of the best games ever made.❌ If you’re picky about graphics and performance, consider waiting for a hardware upgrade to experience it at its absolute best.Final Verdict: Breath of the Wild is an unforgettable journey that sets a new standard for open-world games. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re in for something truly special.
