re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
Playing older Zelda games to quench my appetite is having the opposite effect it was intended to.
Not sure I can hold off from trying to snag this and a Switch at launch.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
Went looking for a thread on this game and couldn't find it. Realized it was titled "Zelda WiiU".
Changed the name and system in anticipation of release. I'm sure some talk will go in switch thread but game specific stuff can go in here.
I am so ready.Comment

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
I was going to sell my Switch pre-order but the previews and impressions of this game have changed my mind. It looks and sounds like this game is going to be very awesome. Can't wait!
Definitely will be buying a pro controller and using the switch as a mostly big screen console, though. Just never was a portable guy.Comment

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
I'm really interested in hearing about how well the Wii U version runs, that will decide if I keep my Switch preorder or just return it. I've read some where the framerates drops but I watched a couple Wii U vids of it on youtube and could never see anything. Maybe it is just something you feel more than see when playing.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
Based on NeoGAF reports, it doesn't sound pretty. Sounds like serious frame rate issues and low image quality in some areas.
Could be a day 1 patch coming though, hopefully?
Strictly talking the Wii U version right nowComment

Reviews are off the chain for this game. Looks like we're in for something special on the Switch version.
Metacritic 98 (from 56 reviews)
IGN | 10/10
Eurogamer - EssentialThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterclass in open-world design and a watershed game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a wonderful sandbox full of mystery, dangling dozens upon dozens of tantalizing things in front of you that just beg to be explored. I’ve had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each one has a unique story behind what led me to them, making them stories on top of stories. And even after I’ve spent more than 50 hours searching the far reaches of Hyrule, I still manage to come across things I haven’t seen before. I’ll easily spend 50 to 100 more trying to track down its fascinating moments.
GameInformer | 10/10All that has been either swept aside or remade from first principles. It's hard to overstate the courage and conviction with which producer Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and their team have rewritten their own work, and the size of the risk Nintendo has taken with a beloved property. Breath of the Wild isn't just the most radical departure from the Zelda tradition in its 30-year history, it's the first Nintendo game that feels like it was made in a world where Half-Life 2, Halo, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Skyrim happened. It's inspired by those greats and others, but it doesn't ape them any more than it rests on its own laurels. And if we're talking inspirations, we have to recognise one game above all others, an uncompromising adventure from 1986 that dared to take gaming off the rails, that put a whole world beyond the TV screen and invited the player to explore it: the original Legend of Zelda.
GameSpot | 10/10Breath of the Wild is an achievement in the design of a living world. Hyrule is massive, with multiple environmental systems layered on top of a grand adventure. The only technical issue I encountered was one related to the framerate when fighting multiple enemies in busy forests. Despite the massive scope of the game, Breath of the Wild retains Nintendo’s knack for polish without any major technical hiccups to disrupt the experience. I was entranced by this version of Hyrule, and it surprised me at nearly every turn, from its wealth of discoveries to the way it shuns the established tropes of previous Zelda games. It represents a profound new direction for one of gaming’s best franchises and a new high point for open-world interactive experiences.
Kotaku | Open-world perfectionNo matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality. It's a game that allows you to feel gradually more and more empowered yet simultaneously manages to retain a sense of challenge and mystery--which, together, creates a steady, consistent feeling of gratification throughout the entire experience. Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created.
GiantBomb | 5/5And as you talk about Breath of the Wild with your friends, there’s one word that will rarely if ever come up: “can’t.” Stories about the new Zelda will instead revolve around what you can do. How you climbed all the way to the top of the Temple of Time just for kicks, or how you parachuted down to the lowest point of Hyrule to see what kind of secrets you’d find there. How you found a brilliant method to brute-force your way through the freezing, snowy mountains, or how you set a forest on fire just to see if you could.
Or, how you tried something as ridiculous as flipping over a maze so you wouldn’t have to solve it, and the game somehow let you finish the puzzle anyway. Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game to date, and it accomplishes that simply by saying yes.
Press Start | 10/10Nintendo may have changed so many long-standing traditions of the Zelda franchise, but the spirit of discovery is as strong as it’s ever been no matter your age. I didn’t think I’d feel the Zelda magic this strongly ever again, but I couldn't be happier to be proven wrong.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will go down as one of the best launch titles of all time. Yes, technically it’s a Wii U game that was ported over to the Nintendo Switch, but Nintendo made the right decision in holding this game back. It perfectly compliments the Nintendo Switch and highlights why it has the potential to be such a great console. Many have doubted Nintendo’s ability to bring this series into the modern gaming age, but they’ve done that and taken it one step further in creating one of the best open-world action-adventure games ever made.
Man this sounds great.Comment

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
It's the only reason I want a Switch right now. Game sounds amazing."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
Looks to be some great reviews. I really like GameXplain, and their review video has some critiques about menu management and controls. I'm wondering if some of these things will be patched.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
I almost worry that I am buying a switch to only play this game. Hopefully I get my money's worth with other exclusives down the line, but this game sounds like it is absolutely amazing. The reviews are just outstanding so far.Comment

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch/WiiU)
Did they say the story takes 50 hours to complete? Seems short for an open world game..
Am I reading this correctly?Comment
