The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild may be the best game ever | Metro

Nintendo’s highly-anticipated new adventure is finally here, but is it reason alone to buy the new Switch console?

Relientk772649d ago

These reviews are insane. Breath of the Wild sounds awesome

Fishy Fingers2649d ago (Edited 2649d ago )

Didn't you just make the same statement in a HZD thread...?

http://n4g.com/news/2025725...

Haha. The irony. Title includes "may be" and it's only their opinion, keep your knickers on.

deafdani2648d ago

LMAO. You said the exact same statement for Horizon.

Fanboys... smh.

It could very well be. It's impossible to say because there's no objective way of comparing games in that way. But for many it may be the best game ever. At the very list it's safe to say that it's a GOTY favorite for 2017.

gammaray132648d ago

your dreaming GOTY goes to Horizon Zero Dawn easily as that is a game for gamers not a childs game like Zelda for 10 year olds

BlackDoomAx2648d ago

Nor loosers, don't play it .

masso91122645d ago

Have you even played BOTW? It is certainly not a "kids game".. As for GOTY, Horizon is a serious contender, but I think they'll give it to BOTW.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

LG_Fox_Brazil162d ago

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64162d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga161d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic161d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits162d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake161d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

babadivad161d ago (Edited 161d ago )

It isn't...

Nintendo not thinking about older Zelda games, "difficult to say" if classic style will return

The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has again commented on the possibility of revisiting the style of past entries in the series – but there are no plans as of now. Speaking with RTL Nieuws, Aonuma said that games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were possible because of what came before them.

Which is very sad. I still wish we could get a zelda like twilight princess, the dark tone and theme in the traditional style. But times have changed and the masses prefer open world sandbox. Smh. Perhaps we can get a proper hd remake of ocarina of time some day.

CDbiggen301d ago

I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.

kythlyn335d ago

If they can bounce between 2D and 3D Mario games, they can bounce between classic and modern Zelda games too. I thought this was a given when the Switch combined a handheld with a primary console.

Inverno335d ago

Then this is where I part ways. I won't disagree with anyone who says that the old formula was getting stale. And I do think BoTW in a few ways was a step in the right direction, but there's way too much good that was left with the old formula in the transition.

CrimsonWing69335d ago

I want it to. I’m sorry, but these new Zelda games I just can’t get into.

Duke19335d ago

Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator
