The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Review I Play Legit

"Around every bend and over every horizon there is more to do. Shrines, hunting, fishing, speaking with characters there is no end to the involvement you will find and there is no shortage of it." Ms. Throwback of Play Legit Writes

Amazing that this won't get the traction on N4G, while a 7/10 will.

ZeekQuattro2604d ago

I never knew people would be so salty that BOTW was/is so well received. Its like any high score regardless of the source is labeled as either a Nintendo fan site or the person giving the review is said to be suffering from nostalgia and any site that gives the game a low to average score is legit and its reviews are taken as fact. lmao

jonniethm2603d ago

Actually I wrote this review and I couldn't agree more. When speaking in private with others from the play legit site I in fact stated that there were certain nostalgic things I missed from past Zelda titles such as the metal boots or the hook shot. However, there were so many more good things about this title that I had to get over my fan girl ways and not lower the score just because I miss something. There is a good reason those things were left out. It's called balance.

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."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64147d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

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..

FinalFantasyFanatic146d ago

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

Vits147d 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_drake146d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex146d ago (Edited 146d 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.

babadivad146d ago (Edited 146d 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.

CDbiggen286d ago

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

kythlyn320d 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.

Inverno320d 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.

CrimsonWing69320d ago

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

Duke19320d ago

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