Game Name: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Platform: Nintendo Switch Time Spent: ~90 hours Do you recommend? Yes What you rate the game: 9.5 Initial Thoughts: The beginning of the game was like opening a mystery crate; it was mysterious, the controls weren’t all unlocked yet, everything was interesting and it just kept revealing new things to me. The gameplay was easy enough to pick up and the starting enemies were perfect for easing the player into the flow of battle and also basic mechanics. What really kept amazing me was the scenery-- it never failed to amaze me. Gameplay and Story: Admittedly, the story wasn’t too important or in depth. It was the typical ‘Ganon is evil and did a bunch of evil things and you gotta save Zelda.’ But, the sheer amount of gameplay and features in Breath of the Wild compensated. There were many hidden mechanics that aren’t explicitly taught (i.e. crouching dashes, shield surfing, and mounting certain enemies). Finding them or learning of them made the game interesting and more in depth as compared to previous Zelda games. In my opinion, one of the best parts about Breath of the Wild is the ability to be creative in whatever you do. For example, there’s always more than one way to take on an enemy; you could sneak strike them from behind, you could rain arrows on them or you could use a Korok leaf to blow remote bombs on them. There’s just so many different methods of doing things. That said, as a player, I constantly found new items, methods and little easter eggs scattered about the gigantic map. There are so many points of interest in the game that honestly, I would have expected more quests for them. This brings me to my other point: quests. You have your Main Quests such as “Defeat Ganon,” Shrine Quests, and Sidequests. Although some quests are the same (i.e. Defeat x!, Gather these items!, or Find x!), some are genuinely interesting to play through. One quest that stands out in my mind relates to the construction of an entire town from the ground up (Literally named From the Ground Up). It’s the longest quest in the game, but playing through it was fun and interesting in my opinion. Backstory: The backstory to this game is essentially the basis and catalyst for all the game's events. To summarize, everything that happened in the past with Ganon and all has a direct effect on the present in which the game is playable. Some characters are the ancestors of characters of the past that may or may not hate you for your actions or lack of action. Overall, I'd say the backstory does well to support the main story, but the story as a whole falls short of other games. Pros: Scenery (Probably the best part about playing the game is just looking over after climbing a mountain and enjoying the view.) Fluid, Adaptable gameplay that evolves as you learn Lots of Content and Easter Eggs (Like Mr. Iwata/Botrick here.) Exploration/Map Size and Good Difficulty Curve DLC and Future Updates Planned Cons: After beating the game, it gets difficult to find new things to do. Many quests or goals are very tedious and require a lot of resources, time and patience. You can find many weapons, but there are no permanent weapons other than the Master Sword. Travelling to places without fast travel points is tedious and having a horse around isn’t always guaranteed. Resources are always limited, so grinding for enough or just peace of mind is inevitable. Final Thoughts: Breath of the Wild, in my personal opinion, was a brave new step in the right direction for the franchise. It’s open world exploration and mechanics were very interesting to play through and provided many countless hours of playing. I usually get bored fairly easily, but this game kept showing me new things to do and new places to check out-- I haven’t even finished all the quests and shrines yet. And because DLC is on the horizon, the game is guaranteed to provide even more content. Anyone can pick up the game and start playing; you don’t have to be a fan of the series already, which is one feature I like about it.

+1 nice guy, friendly enough a:7 m:7

omG I LOVE YOUR GLASSES

Im not sure if i can even +1, but I would like to say that his in-game self has made MAJOR improvements, at least when im around. I wont vouch that he's anywhere close to perfect but i will say his levels of toxicity and general bad sportsmanship have diminished every time ive been on surf

I'm sorry, but I have to stay neutral on this. Issues you've caused have been too frequent so even though I haven't seen you recently I can't assume you've actually improved this time without having solid reason to do so. Best of luck with your application, but I can't give this a positive vouche anytime soon.

Unfortunately, we are here to say goodbye to one of our own, TrollFace aka Asa. Trollface was one of the original members of the community and one of the first higher ups alongside Silence. We found out of his death a few days ago from his girlfriend, and we'd like to formally give our condolences on the forums. XenoGamers would not be where it is today, if it wasn't for him. I wish his family and loved ones all the best, and remember to always show your appreciation to your friends and family cuz you never know when they might be gone.

incorrect/dead profile link, cant find any record of him on our servers on gamme -1

Overall I do love this game. I really do wish the weapons weren't breakable, though. In my opinion, that makes the weapons feel too much like they're just disposable trash and not something that you're meant to hold onto for a while.
