Rate top gamesIt's probably best Zelda I've played (and I've played almost all of them) but a few things keep it from the ridiculously high scores that the love sick reviewers have given it.
1) Basic melee combat. Sure you can do some interesting things if you go out of your way but the central melee combat is plain and rather boring.
2) Straight-forward story. No twists, turns, or hooks.
3) Silent protagonist. It only serves to weaken a story and this story is already pretty weak.

As somеonе who wasn't initially a fan of thе Zеlda saga, Thе Lеgеnd of Zеlda: Brеath of thе Wild complеtеly won mе ovеr. It stands out as onе of thе bеst opеn-world gamеs, sеamlеssly blеnding a vast and visually stunning landscapе with innovativе gamеplay and mеchanics. Thе uniquе approach to еxploration and puzzlе-solving, couplеd with a captivating narrativе, makеs it a standout titlе еvеn for thosе not traditionally drawn to thе Zеlda sеriеs.

It's a cool game. I like Zelda games. But for a newcomer, it's an open world that is pretty empty if you come from any 2015 + open world pc game. And it will be frustrating from many aspects, especially limited stamina. All in all it's a cool experience but I won't do it twice and won't play a second one like that. But I still recommend for the freshness and the fact that you can play it on the go !
Really, really, really nicely done, Nintendo! This game feels so nice in combat, exploration and overall everything, you just can't really describe what exactly made you love that game, because it's all that well put together. It's sometimes repetitive but yet very enjoyable, and that's quite an achievement.
