The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild: 12 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

1. It Might Be One Of The Greatest Games Of All Time

Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild Reviews
Nintendo & Metacritic
"Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created." - Gamespot
"In an open world full of big changes, Breath of the Wild also almost always feels like a Zelda game — and establishes itself as the first current, vital-feeling Zelda in almost 20 years." - Polygon
"The new Zelda is an outstanding achievement in video game design, even by the standards of the franchise. But the size and scope of the adventure, and the freedom you’re given to create your own stories and cherished memories, makes this the best Zelda there’s ever been. And that’s no small compliment, because that immediately confirms it as one of the best games ever made." - Metro
"I didn’t think I’d feel the Zelda magic this strongly ever again, but I couldn't be happier to be proven wrong." - Giant Bomb
"Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda game to date." - Kotaku

And finally, the words every Zelda and Nintendo fan wanted to hear, that with its towering Metascore of 98, Breath of the Wild is one of the very best-reviewed games in history, and is deemed by many critics to be both the best Zelda game and the best game Nintendo has ever released.

That's some lofty praise, but considering the clear exuberant landmark quality of the game, it seems entirely earned. Breath of the Wild is destined to endure as an all-time classic, and what a relief that is to hear.
