Totally agree. It is truly a 10/10 game, mayhap the best game ever created so far. I have yet to play NieR: Automata to see if it too can join Zelda as the best game ever made. Me who has only played Zelda: The minish cap on Gameboy advanced 10+ years or so ago ended up getting Breath of the Wild and it is truly the best game I have ever played.
Geralt of Rivia He likes the game so that makes him blinded by hype? You Witcher spammers are the equivalent of the people that come to people's houses trying to shove religion down their throats.
43 years old, many decades playing games and again, having this long lost feeling of discovering a new magical world, like first time i played a video game. Thx Nintendo
JackofAllSpadess Every game has some kind of flaw(s) in them, including this one. Another Zelda could top this with gorgeous and beautiful graphics like the witcher 3, no frame drops, more dungeons, etc
Nintendo knows what video games are all about. I really like how one of the developers said that they prioritized features over everything else. That's something a lot of developers could learn from.
iMad 2108 Indeed. Realistic graphics are nice but what's the point if the game itself doesn't have much in it? I love how the world feels alive, the way NPCs react and how the environment will teach you a lesson if you wear metal during a lightning storm or go to a desert without the proper materials or equipment.
I find this game technically impressive on the Wii U, not so much on the Switch. The Wii U is very limited with it's Hardware and the GPU and CPU is just a little bit more better than the Xbox 360. The Large Open World, Gameplay Mechanics, Loading times, Visuals, the small details, the Physics. It's so impressive how they were able to pull that off with a System with 1GB of RAM. I think it had 2GB of RAM so correct me if I am wrong.

Some developers have learned from Nintendo. Square Enix, Blizzard, Bethesda, 2K, Bandai Namco, ect. I understand that some developers want to push a System to the limit to show off the technical potential the Console and Developer has. Naughty Dog and Uncharted 4 is a great example of this and having good graphics isn't a bad thing since it helps with the immersion of the game which makes you feel like you are apart of this world. I've had that feeling with Breath of the Wild, it makes me wish I was apart of that World.
I honestly spent almost two years just watching videos of the game, yearning to play it with all my heart. Now, I finally could afford to buy a Switch and Zelda and it's the best game I've ever played without a doubt. Even though I've seen tons of let's plays I still find so many cool things I had never seen before...
All of the creators' intentions were freakin on point. Enjoyed all the small details in the sounds and am absolutely obsessed with the music. Loved that there was no correct way to navigate the game and we could try anything and it still works. Enjoyed soaking in the beautiful, amazing visuals, especially when playing during covid when we couldn't actually go anywhere. Loved exploring all the strange things along the journey, and enjoyed all the surprises hidden throughout the game. And lastly, I enjoyed the entire game by "watching" my friend play, yet, I was every part as involved, just short of holding the controller. Breath of the Wild is so so so amazing, can't wait for Part 2.
I'm admittedly not a big Zelda fan and still haven't picked this game up yet but I have to give these guys props for creating a game that looks so fun and endlessly exciting
@@Superstrike_11 I did! Yeah it’s got issues and it honestly didn’t live up to the hype of the Switch presentation trailer in terms of story but it was still fun for the second Zelda game I’ve completed (first was Wind Waker)
@@backseatpalace Well when I say that I’m mostly referring to that trailer in the presentation. I hadn’t been following the game closely and I guess I just wasn’t prepared for half the cutscenes (and easily the most interesting ones) to be flashbacks. Also I understand the purpose of making the soundtrack more subtle and I appreciate that but I was really hoping something on the level of the song in the trailer would show up eventually and nothing really compared imo. Again though, it was still fun. If you enjoy the other more “traditional” 3D Zelda games and don’t mind the cartoony aesthetic I don’t think Wind Waker will disappoint. It’s got good music and nice characters. I played the HD version that came with a few QOL changes though so the original would likely be a little more tedious. Apart from a dungeon or two not being my thing, I don’t really have any complaints. In a word, yes, it’s worth it
I didn't like Twilight Princess too much. It was my first Zelda game. Played the HD version first on my Wii U. It was alright. I hope BotW is much, much better.
Cedars take it from me, I can understand why people didn't like twilight princess. I mean you can look at all the Zelda titles and they all have their pretty big flaws. But I'm not even talking Zelda now, BOTW is THE most flawless game I have ever played. With almost 200 hours of gameplay since release, I can say this is the most time I have ever put into a single RPG or Zelda game, and it is a masterpiece. I am so glad they took the extra time to perfect this beautiful game/story. And don't take my word for it, BOTW has already been voted by ratings as the 4th best game of all time :-)
Jideko Now that they've gotten the core gameplay mechanics and world structure out of the way, they can focus on the story. Which I'll be ready to purchase once it comes out.
im still debating whether to try skyward sword, i def want to get twilight princess on switch should they decide to port it over to switch cuzi don't have wii U
Greatest gaming devs right there. You just feel the passion in whatever they say and see the result in the end. GGOAT. Almost 100 hrs in, 400 something seeds found, 62 shrines completed only 1 divine beast beaten, just found the mastersword yesterday and went to Gerudo town, so much stuff to do there and fun quests to complete like the GSC quest/rewards. The fight agains Vah'ruta ( the elephant beast) before climbing in was so tense and great I swear I havent had this much fun playing a game in a LONG time and thats coming from someone whos been gaming for 29 years now. Nintendo just knows how to make fun,timeless games.
+pghdave420 Actually old Zelda games such as the original are more about exploration and excitement rather dungeons. For the past decade and a half, Zelda games have been 5% explore and 95% dungeon tasks. Nintendo stated they wanted to go back to their roots and start a brand-new type of Zelda game in the image of the first and they did it near perfect.
"Recent Zeldas are too linear and hold your hand and don't let you explore and wah wah wah" Did *_ANYONE_* play a Link Between Worlds!?!?? AKA the game right before BotW that brought back nonlinearity!?!?
you all make me cry with the amount of care you put into this game. i wish i had the same passion for one thing and had a bunch of friends all gathered around that share that dream.
Thank you so much for this game. 110+ hours in and I'm still amazed. Probably my favorite game of all time now. It's beautiful no matter how you look at it and I didn't want it to end! Thank you for this experience! It was worth the wait.
Every time I see interviews from Nintendo game designers and execs, I realize just how much they can relate to cultures outside of Japan. I think Nintendo of America is doing a great job conveying our feedback. They chose to make their main two protagonists an Italian and white blonde-haired blue-eyed guy.
Game is an absolute masterpiece and I have really enjoyed these behind the scenes videos. Nice to see Nintendo being a bit more open and allowing their developers to talk a little bit more about their craft and design philosophy. I really hope that the freedom and willingness to go against convention filters through to other first party titles. If this game is a sign of what's to come in the future from Nintendo, it's gonna be a great time for gamers!
I get emotional just hearing these guys talk about this game. It's so clear how much passion went into this game and I think I speak for a vast majority of BotW players when I say that we appreciate every ounce of passion you put into it. It's beyond words sometimes because I'm caught up in so much emotion playing through it, even the second time through.
A lot of wind waker fans think rock salt is evidence of their favorite timeline. A dev just said he wanted in the game because he likes salt-grilled fish.
Im here a day after they announced the sequel at E3 2019 and i just hav to say they knocked it out of thr park with the first game. Its great to see people who actually care about their work and their fans first and money comes afterwards. Im stoked for thr next one bc ik its going to be on that same par
after getting extreme pressure from my friend to purchase the game (it was his first zelda and he absolutely got punched by it), i thought considering buying that strange game that people were talking about. I was only 12 years old back then, so i couldn't watch any videos or resumes at the time about it, so i had absolutely no knowledge of zelda whatsoever. When the pandemic broke out, our nintendo switch, which we (my younger brother and sister) had in christmas of 2019, got plenty of games to make confinement less boring. So we got luigi's mansion, mario odyssey, mario kart, smash bros and... zelda. For a kid whose biggest knowledge was mario kart on the Wii (our only other console), zelda was absolutely fascinating and my brother and sister even quitted everything they did when i lit up the switch for breath of the wild. As far as we knew, our knowledge was so limited that we thought that zelda was link's name, that funny green guy that we saw sometimes in the windows of some shops... and that was it. It was so impressive and huge that we even stopped playing the game for a while, almost scared of its sheer power to process everything that we learnt so far. Playing that game absolutely changed me, and i started collectionning nintendo old consoles and games, with objective to play every single zelda games on their original consoles. I must have now at least 500 hours put into the game and i collected all the koroks, and played the game in master mode. Zelda was like a wildfire and my family now loves zelda music, story and characters thanks to this single game. I played many other games after that, but none captured that feeling of raw wonder i had, and i often find myself replaying zelda instead of, say, a brand-new game i just bought. This is the best game i ever played, and its absolutely impossible that another games dethrones it in my heart. Thank you all the dev team, you god-sent incredible geniuses for providing some of the best memories i've ever had... and making me know that the main protagonist's name is actually link! Wow, i wrote much longer than i thought... congrats on making it to the end! (also, sorry for bad english, i am not a native english speaker)
Even after the 120 shrines and all of the side quests, I still find myself running around and exploring just for the enjoyment of it. You've truly created a master piece, thank you.
This game may have some framerate issues, and minor voice acting problems, but those are both so small when taking into account all the greatness of this game. When people say Skyrim is open world, The Witcher 3 was open world, or even FF15 was open world, no, those all fail when compared to this game. That's one of the great things about this game, you can go anywhere you want. Just be prepared to die a lot. I also love the character progression of this game. You start out so weak and vulnerable, then later on down the line, you're taking out enemies you once ran away from. It feels so good to finally overpower those you once feared. There's a lot more to like about this game, but I'll leave it here.
AshXXMayftw while i love this game i must disagree. skyrim is also an open world game. maybe compared to Botw it may seem smaller but thats because it realeased in 2011 (6 years ago) however I do agree that this game has a very large open world to explore and definintely deserves to be Game of the Year.
I want to say that Playstation and X box sucks ! Totally Trash ! Garbage ! I hate them so much 🤬😡😠 , Nintendo rules the multiverse , and I am a botw fan and this game has a special place in my heart as it is my first Zelda game.
What aonuma said at the end was soo true,I've had a blast playing this game with my friends,it's so much fun and they tell me to try this and that,to go to this place,to look for shrines or to engage or not engage in battes,it's just fun to play in this world,
This game is just so wonderful, hearing them talk about it and the little details and what took priority is so fun. Thank you Nintendo, for putting so much care into this game
Watch how this will get top comment... ugh... this lady always gets likes because of her profile pic. If I just said "Game of the year", I wouldn't even get a like... and this lady gets top comment for saying the most simplest of things...
I started playing this game this month and since I'm not much of a gamer, Its been really fun to find my own way to play this game! I'm constantly impressed with the possibilities and there is so much to do! I also am constantly catching myself just admiring the environments or observing the animals around me. Thanks for making this amazing game, I've never enjoyed playing something this much. I truly believe this game can be played and enjoyed by anyone wether you're a gamer or not
I was expecting one of them to whisper when they were talking at the end and for the guy to go "shh" all happily.. Seem too much fun to be around! No wonder the game is what it is.
I played it for basically 3 weeks straight (whenever I had time) and beat it but there was still so much stuff I didn't do! So this game has a lot of replay ability and it is definitely one of the best games of all time!!!! (At least to me)
iMad 2108 I got all the memories and all the divine beasts but I don't know what the "normal" ending is so I don't know if I got the secret ending or not... But either way it was a good ending and game!
This Zelda is, by far, the best game I ever played. After doing thru-hikes of the Appalachian and Pacific Crest trail I miss being out in the wild and this feels just like I did on those two thousand mile backpacking trips. Thank you for all your hard work.
It's really fun looking back on all the people awestruck at the game with no clue how they'd ever top BotW, knowing now just how vast an improvement TotK is in nearly every way
Thank you for this bonus interview! I really admire the design philosophies behind this game, especially the bit about choosing functionality over graphics whenever they had to.
One of the best games I have played in a long time, Thank you Nintendo for always creating polished games, For always pushing the conventions of play and for always finding a way for everyone to have fun away from the day to day.
I love how I can literally do whatever. I was skeptical of how they would pull this off well and they did. I've been playing since launch and not even 1/4 through the game. I love taking my time and enjoying everything in it.
Thanks Nintendo for making me happy😃 this Switch made my family time/game night even better and thanks for Legend Of Zelda BTOW its an awesome game and Super Smash Bros and more , I’m 12 years old when I grow up I’ll remember these days in the future and how happy these games made me other then stress and anger, but I did have Anxiety but when I played on the switch it kinda made my stress and dark thoughts go away more likely disappear, idk how but it did🙂 now my family don’t get angry at me because of not coming out of my room😅
I can agree wholeheartedly with what Aonuma said. I played through the entire game while at a nephew's house, while he was also playing his own copy of the game. Since we both went to completely different directions, it was really fun talking about all the things we came across and giving each other tips about the areas the other still had to find. Sharing our discoveries really made for a very memorable gaming experience.
I owe these people a lot. Most of my 200 hrs run of botw have been during 2020, this crazy year, and getting the opportunity of explore and live this beautiful story has been such a healing experience...
Thank you for making such a beautiful and awesome game ...Sometimes I will just sit back and just watch one of the dragons fly by...I love them,and the music that plays as they do..yes I do farm dragon parts ...but I love watching them..
*This game is just fantastic.........hard to put it down.....will be playing it for a long time to come........the joys of getting lost and discovering*
My favorite character is Yunobu. The guy that did the voice for him deserves some cred. Idk why I like him. He's just cool. Oh and then there's Zelda... Never mind
I was so happy with the Switch in the first place cause I don't have a TV to play on, but when I visited my family for spring break and put the game on the TV, I was ecstatic the way it captured my family's interest and awe. My whole life I grew up constantly being told to get off the TV and stop playing games cause no one wanted to watch me play, it was boring or annoying. Ironically now that I have a console that makes that task easy, everyone is so interested. It meant so much to me to have my parents be impressed by this game and understand why it was so important to me. I can't thank these guys enough for making a game capable of getting that across so well.
I only started playing BOTW a week or two ago. I'm not even half way done with the main quest line -- only one divine beast defeated and I still have the four westward regions to explore. Maybe 60 shrines completed. Etc. Not terribly far into the whole game. And I still LOVE exploring each region. I still love planning and executing attacks on encampments of enemies. I still love how simply playing the game feels. You can feel the effort that went into developing this game. The design of the world and the sonic landscape as well lends itself to fruitful and enjoyable exploration. The very fact that you can see something marginally suspicious and the game rewards you for checking it out is worthy of applause. All of the new mechanics and themes within this Zelda world, as well as the world building congruent with the precious Zelda titles, make for a phenomenal gameplay experience. Thank you for this game, Nintendo. And to the Zelda team specifically: thanks for the hard work and dedication to your vision. I grew up playing and loving videogames. Sometime in the early to mid 2010's I grew disenchanted and fell out of love with the game industry as a whole due to feeling like the industry had fallen so far from the standards they upheld years ago. In a world where most AAA titles feel like they were developed more for the money and less for the fan, Breath of the Wild really feels like a breath of fresh air. Pun not intended but definitely worthwhile. Sorry not sorry for fanboying. Much love.
Truly the best game ever made. I have been playing for 20 plus hours, and every detail is so flawless. A thousand ways to do anything you want at any time, and in any order. Seemingly limitless possibilities...It is as if Nintendo has laid out the pieces of a watch, and they slowly show you how to figure out a way to put the watch together how you see fit. It is ingenious, and utterly and truly breath taking. The most fun I have had gaming in my life. Thank you, Nintendo.
I'm grateful that I decided to keep my pre order for my Wii U copy as well as getting it on Switch, because my 7 year old niece is as fascinated by this game as I am. We've been playing side by side for days, her on the gamepad, me on the Switch. She is actually really clever and suggested some puzzle solutions that I never would have thought of. Thank you for this absolutely amazing game.
I 100% agree with the idea of playing this game with friends and family. With one of my friends, we took that to another level, since we're playing together, each one having a joycon in hands. At first, it's kinda hard, but with communication, you can manage to play as if there was only one person holding both joycons. It's a really fun, interesting and original way to play. If you have the occasion to do it, try it ! You can also try to incorporate personal challenges while playing the game, for example don't fish or hunt and only cook with vegetables and mushrooms. That makes the game more challenging and totally changes the experience.
This is amazing. So much love and work put into it, they are talking about it like some childhood memory, they really consider this game to be their baby. This is a part of the history, best game ever made, and all of you should be proud - and I can see that you are. This game is truly special and I am enjoying it. Thank you Nintendo for being part of my life from mid 90's. I can proudly say that at some point I had most of your game consoles in my possession. SNES is still with me.
I have finished it after 140 hours and I still can't get enough of it. I keep going back and thanks to the Switch I'm playing it everywhere and showing everyone. I'm really hoping for some patches to improve performance though, especially in docked mode.
I didn't think something sometime will replace The Wind Waker as my favorite game ever. Now I'm in love with this jewel. Is like the perfect game for me, the perfect mix between the freedom and the plot that drives everything. Thanks for everything, Nintendo. Thanks for everything.
The guy sitting by Aonuma has such an interesting face. When he smiles and closes his eyes, he looks just like the Happy Mask Salesman. But when he has a straight face he looks like Japanese Trump.
The fierce deity Yeah, but I don't want to wait. The next Zelda game is most likely going to be like the traditional ones. Besides, waiting 20 years for another awesome Zelda game will be unbearable
Thank you for making this game. It's an unforgettable one, and will be a classic for a long time to come. It's incredible that I have played it for 150 hours and still have not experienced everything it offers, whether it's locations, secrets, activities, or ideas. I still feel very compelled to continue discovering and exploring while being completely sucked into the experience and world as I play. I'm also very glad that there is additional content in the future to build upon this incredible game.
I can confirm, when I got this my whole family was watching and playing. My parents understood it, unlike games like Overwatch or even Smash where there's just a lot happening and fast paced. But they really got it, it was a blast.
Link I know what you mean, it was quite frustrating when I played it as a kid back then. But now I kinda appreciate how the game encourages the player to do some exploration. This, and some other stuff as well there, could have been executed a bit better though!

this is why i freaking love Nintendo, they're always about fun, rather than having the most graphically powerful console.
Hunter Allen I love how one of the devs pointed out that they made the gameplay features a priority over graphics and whatnot.
yea thats why the wiiu FAIL

glad you like it
HMK Hey you
HMK Oh hey HMK. Are you still in the Breath of The Wild void?
HMK dude where have you been the past 5 days I need my daily dose of HMK
I just have no idea how they're going to top this game honestly
JackofAllSpadess People said the same thing about Ocarina of Time. Now look where we are.
Raiguard
oh great, so another 20 years? 😂
There's always room to improve and try new things. If one thing burns you out, try something you've never done before or in a long time.
JackofAllSpadess Every game has some kind of flaw(s) in them, including this one. Another Zelda could top this with gorgeous and beautiful graphics like the witcher 3, no frame drops, more dungeons, etc
A stronger story would also be a huge plus. BotW's plot was alright, but it was very traditional and didn't really do anything mindblowing.
Pixelating the dubious food was such a brilliant idea. The implication that you made something so disgusting it needed to be censored is hilarious.
Not to mention Links facial features while cooking ‘em is hilarious 😂
But now I really wanna see the original
Nintendo knows what video games are all about. I really like how one of the developers said that they prioritized features over everything else. That's something a lot of developers could learn from.
-cough- PS, Xbox and PC -cough-
i like them all but they all focus too much on graphics...
and now so do my friends...

I find this game technically impressive on the Wii U, not so much on the Switch. The Wii U is very limited with it's Hardware and the GPU and CPU is just a little bit more better than the Xbox 360.

And don't take my word for it, BOTW has already been voted by ratings as the 4th best game of all time :-)
Jideko Now that they've gotten the core gameplay mechanics and world structure out of the way, they can focus on the story. Which I'll be ready to purchase once it comes out.
im still debating whether to try skyward sword, i def want to get twilight princess on switch should they decide to port it over to switch cuzi don't have wii U
Greatest gaming devs right there. You just feel the passion in whatever they say and see the result in the end. GGOAT. Almost 100 hrs in, 400 something seeds found, 62 shrines completed only 1 divine beast beaten, just found the mastersword yesterday and went to Gerudo town, so much stuff to do there and fun quests to complete like the GSC quest/rewards. The fight agains Vah'ruta ( the elephant beast) before climbing in was so tense and great I swear I havent had this much fun playing a game in a LONG time and thats coming from someone whos been gaming for 29 years now. Nintendo just knows how to make fun,timeless games.
underrated game, should be 10000/10
TRU DAT
So 1000/1?
+pghdave420 Actually old Zelda games such as the original are more about exploration and excitement rather dungeons. For the past decade and a half, Zelda games have been 5% explore and 95% dungeon tasks. Nintendo stated they wanted to go back to their roots and start a brand-new type of Zelda game in the image of the first and they did it near perfect.
Noah Cool Man wait what do you know what the divine beasts are?
"Recent Zeldas are too linear and hold your hand and don't let you explore and wah wah wah"
Did *_ANYONE_* play a Link Between Worlds!?!?? AKA the game right before BotW that brought back nonlinearity!?!?
Zelda is the Goron, right?
SuperPiposaru Zelda is the moblin
SuperPiposaru no Zelda is the Hinox
SuperPiposaru no, zelda is the dark beast
no, she is the Lynel
SuperPiposaru No, Zelda is the Rito.
I LOVE THIS GAME! :)
devinsupertramp DEVIN!??!?
you all make me cry with the amount of care you put into this game. i wish i had the same passion for one thing and had a bunch of friends all gathered around that share that dream.
Dogs are domesticated wolves. Also, Kass is best character.
Kass means bad in Swedish. That's why I also like Kass.
JixD01
So... he's Michael Jackson in disguise?
Maybe he is. who knows...
I just found it hilarious that he is playing accordion like a pro and when I walked up to him it said bad.
no not true, dogs and wolves share a common ancestor, but dogs were never wolves.
none of them mentioned our beloved shark husbando as their favorite characters
Don't forget about the ghost shark waifu.
hes gay, in to male hylians
A homosexual in a Zelda game? Well, that's unusual.
It's possible that the none of the devs are gay. Just saying.
MarioaddictC I think Ghirahim is gay.
Thank you so much for this game. 110+ hours in and I'm still amazed. Probably my favorite game of all time now. It's beautiful no matter how you look at it and I didn't want it to end!
Thank you for this experience! It was worth the wait.
I love that Aonuma's last point is to try playing with friends and family
I simply adore these insights!
Every time I see interviews from Nintendo game designers and execs, I realize just how much they can relate to cultures outside of Japan. I think Nintendo of America is doing a great job conveying our feedback.
They chose to make their main two protagonists an Italian and white blonde-haired blue-eyed guy.
This "The Making of" series was amazing! Thanks for the insight!
Game is an absolute masterpiece and I have really enjoyed these behind the scenes videos. Nice to see Nintendo being a bit more open and allowing their developers to talk a little bit more about their craft and design philosophy. I really hope that the freedom and willingness to go against convention filters through to other first party titles. If this game is a sign of what's to come in the future from Nintendo, it's gonna be a great time for gamers!
I get emotional just hearing these guys talk about this game. It's so clear how much passion went into this game and I think I speak for a vast majority of BotW players when I say that we appreciate every ounce of passion you put into it. It's beyond words sometimes because I'm caught up in so much emotion playing through it, even the second time through.
Still obsessed with this game. It’s a masterpiece.
Masterpiece of a game :)
A lot of wind waker fans think rock salt is evidence of their favorite timeline. A dev just said he wanted in the game because he likes salt-grilled fish.
Actually he is the director of he game
Im here a day after they announced the sequel at E3 2019 and i just hav to say they knocked it out of thr park with the first game. Its great to see people who actually care about their work and their fans first and money comes afterwards. Im stoked for thr next one bc ik its going to be on that same par
after getting extreme pressure from my friend to purchase the game (it was his first zelda and he absolutely got punched by it), i thought considering buying that strange game that people were talking about. I was only 12 years old back then, so i couldn't watch any videos or resumes at the time about it, so i had absolutely no knowledge of zelda whatsoever.
When the pandemic broke out, our nintendo switch, which we (my younger brother and sister) had in christmas of 2019, got plenty of games to make confinement less boring. So we got luigi's mansion, mario odyssey, mario kart, smash bros and... zelda.
For a kid whose biggest knowledge was mario kart on the Wii (our only other console), zelda was absolutely fascinating and my brother and sister even quitted everything they did when i lit up the switch for breath of the wild. As far as we knew, our knowledge was so limited that we thought that zelda was link's name, that funny green guy that we saw sometimes in the windows of some shops... and that was it. It was so impressive and huge that we even stopped playing the game for a while, almost scared of its sheer power to process everything that we learnt so far.
Playing that game absolutely changed me, and i started collectionning nintendo old consoles and games, with objective to play every single zelda games on their original consoles. I must have now at least 500 hours put into the game and i collected all the koroks, and played the game in master mode. Zelda was like a wildfire and my family now loves zelda music, story and characters thanks to this single game. I played many other games after that, but none captured that feeling of raw wonder i had, and i often find myself replaying zelda instead of, say, a brand-new game i just bought. This is the best game i ever played, and its absolutely impossible that another games dethrones it in my heart.
Thank you all the dev team, you god-sent incredible geniuses for providing some of the best memories i've ever had... and making me know that the main protagonist's name is actually link!
Wow, i wrote much longer than i thought... congrats on making it to the end! (also, sorry for bad english, i am not a native english speaker)
cant wait for botw2 releasing soon! :D
Even after the 120 shrines and all of the side quests, I still find myself running around and exploring just for the enjoyment of it. You've truly created a master piece, thank you.
This game may have some framerate issues, and minor voice acting problems, but those are both so small when taking into account all the greatness of this game. When people say Skyrim is open world, The Witcher 3 was open world, or even FF15 was open world, no, those all fail when compared to this game. That's one of the great things about this game, you can go anywhere you want. Just be prepared to die a lot. I also love the character progression of this game. You start out so weak and vulnerable, then later on down the line, you're taking out enemies you once ran away from. It feels so good to finally overpower those you once feared. There's a lot more to like about this game, but I'll leave it here.
The voice acting might be weak on the english version, but the japanese one is pretty good.
AshXXMayftw while i love this game i must disagree. skyrim is also an open world game. maybe compared to Botw it may seem smaller but thats because it realeased in 2011 (6 years ago) however I do agree that this game has a very large open world to explore and definintely deserves to be Game of the Year.
Have you ever played The Witcher 3 ? There is a loooot of liberty in this one too.
JM ever heard of subjectivity?
This is the only commet section I feel happy in, all the other ones are diseased with switch haters and sony and xbox fanboys
really? that much hate? i haven't played it yet, but i still want to try it at least:)
I want to say that Playstation and X box sucks ! Totally Trash ! Garbage ! I hate them so much 🤬😡😠 , Nintendo rules the multiverse , and I am a botw fan and this game has a special place in my heart as it is my first Zelda game.
Thank you Nintendo for this great game! It must be good, even my wife enjoys playing it.
What aonuma said at the end was soo true,I've had a blast playing this game with my friends,it's so much fun and they tell me to try this and that,to go to this place,to look for shrines or to engage or not engage in battes,it's just fun to play in this world,
Thank you fro creating such amazing experience! Mount Hylia song the best for me.
This game is just so wonderful, hearing them talk about it and the little details and what took priority is so fun. Thank you Nintendo, for putting so much care into this game
Game of the year
Watch how this will get top comment... ugh... this lady always gets likes because of her profile pic. If I just said "Game of the year", I wouldn't even get a like... and this lady gets top comment for saying the most simplest of things...
Master Chief Try saying something interesting. Everybody is different. Those that worry to much about others won't get far in anything.
Master Chief That's true.
SupaPixelGirl game of the century
Seeker
Is "Game of the year" interesting enough for top comment?
I started playing this game this month and since I'm not much of a gamer, Its been really fun to find my own way to play this game! I'm constantly impressed with the possibilities and there is so much to do! I also am constantly catching myself just admiring the environments or observing the animals around me. Thanks for making this amazing game, I've never enjoyed playing something this much. I truly believe this game can be played and enjoyed by anyone wether you're a gamer or not
5 awesome peeps in one table lol
I was expecting one of them to whisper when they were talking at the end and for the guy to go "shh" all happily.. Seem too much fun to be around! No wonder the game is what it is.
These guys all have amazing minds. I honestly can't believe the amount of hard work that went into this game. Thank you.
I played it for basically 3 weeks straight (whenever I had time) and beat it but there was still so much stuff I didn't do! So this game has a lot of replay ability and it is definitely one of the best games of all time!!!! (At least to me)
Isaiah Budd when i get it, im just gonna try to get all the memories and see if there is a secret ending where Link and Zelda kiss :)
iMad 2108 I got all the memories and all the divine beasts but I don't know what the "normal" ending is so I don't know if I got the secret ending or not... But either way it was a good ending and game!
This Zelda is, by far, the best game I ever played. After doing thru-hikes of the Appalachian and Pacific Crest trail I miss being out in the wild and this feels just like I did on those two thousand mile backpacking trips. Thank you for all your hard work.
Is reallly nice to hear the designers of the game talking about all this things, thanks for this. Greetings.😁
It's really fun looking back on all the people awestruck at the game with no clue how they'd ever top BotW, knowing now just how vast an improvement TotK is in nearly every way
I *love* these Behind-the-scenes videos!
*Please, Nintendo:* Make more of those, also for other game series! :)
Thank you for this bonus interview! I really admire the design philosophies behind this game, especially the bit about choosing functionality over graphics whenever they had to.
love this game so much! Beat it a couple days ago :)
These guys made such an amazing game. I'm at 190 hours and still loving it.
Revali = Best Rival
Daruk = Best big Brother
Urbosa = Best big Sister / Best Mom
Mipha = Best Waifu ftw (call me weaboo)
Zelda = Best Tsundere
Just Help I normally don't say this kind of thing, but if Mipha asked me to marry her and move to Zora's Domain. I would say yes without hesitation!
Well, okay.
Weeaboo.
What about the Shark husbando, Sidon?
I like mipha but the rest is just unnecessary cringe man, really
Revali = Best Twin Brother
One of the best games I have played in a long time, Thank you Nintendo for always creating polished games, For always pushing the conventions of play and for always finding a way for everyone to have fun away from the day to day.
Revali is also my favorite character 😂
I love how I can literally do whatever. I was skeptical of how they would pull this off well and they did. I've been playing since launch and not even 1/4 through the game. I love taking my time and enjoying everything in it.
Thanks Nintendo for making me happy😃 this Switch made my family time/game night even better and thanks for Legend Of Zelda BTOW its an awesome game and Super Smash Bros and more , I’m 12 years old when I grow up I’ll remember these days in the future and how happy these games made me other then stress and anger, but I did have Anxiety but when I played on the switch it kinda made my stress and dark thoughts go away more likely disappear, idk how but it did🙂 now my family don’t get angry at me because of not coming out of my room😅
Thanks for being part of our childhood .. yet growing up together .. much love for you 💚💙❤💛
thanks again for this legendary game
I can agree wholeheartedly with what Aonuma said.
I played through the entire game while at a nephew's house, while he was also playing his own copy of the game. Since we both went to completely different directions, it was really fun talking about all the things we came across and giving each other tips about the areas the other still had to find. Sharing our discoveries really made for a very memorable gaming experience.
Oh yes! I like THAT ONE TOWER as well!
He said the super tall one, there's one tower that's way taller than the rest.
Also known as, the one nobody expected to hear an Accordion on.
He's on about the Gerudo tower in the Gerudo highlands. It's WAY taller than the others.
He also mentioned something at the top - there's one tower where you get a Shrine Quest at the top, so it must be THAT one.
Yeah, when he says "You know who", he's talking about Kass.
I owe these people a lot. Most of my 200 hrs run of botw have been during 2020, this crazy year, and getting the opportunity of explore and live this beautiful story has been such a healing experience...
Why am I watching a video with people talking about their favourite food in a videogame
Because those people made the GOAT game.
Thank you for making such a beautiful and awesome game ...Sometimes I will just sit back and just watch one of the dragons fly by...I love them,and the music that plays as they do..yes I do farm dragon parts ...but I love watching them..
As a creator, I laughed out loud when they were asked how they relax. "What does that mean??" 😂
*This game is just fantastic.........hard to put it down.....will be playing it for a long time to come........the joys of getting lost and discovering*
theres two games that i will carry with me forever, its red dead redemption and Zelda breath of the wild.
Bernardo Salles mine are BOTW and Sonic Forces
SO cool! So nice to watch this before the sequel releases! Love it! Beautiful! Hope they make another of these for TOTK! :D
My favorite character is Yunobu. The guy that did the voice for him deserves some cred. Idk why I like him. He's just cool.
Oh and then there's Zelda... Never mind
Yeah Zelda has a great VA, I agree.
Yeah, he's also really good. This game has a lot of good characters.
Like the flower lady :)
I like yunobu too, he is good character
I was so happy with the Switch in the first place cause I don't have a TV to play on, but when I visited my family for spring break and put the game on the TV, I was ecstatic the way it captured my family's interest and awe. My whole life I grew up constantly being told to get off the TV and stop playing games cause no one wanted to watch me play, it was boring or annoying. Ironically now that I have a console that makes that task easy, everyone is so interested. It meant so much to me to have my parents be impressed by this game and understand why it was so important to me. I can't thank these guys enough for making a game capable of getting that across so well.
*Hajime:* "...I don't think a lot of other people will like Revali much."
*My bird-crazy little sister:* WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY
I only started playing BOTW a week or two ago. I'm not even half way done with the main quest line -- only one divine beast defeated and I still have the four westward regions to explore. Maybe 60 shrines completed. Etc. Not terribly far into the whole game. And I still LOVE exploring each region. I still love planning and executing attacks on encampments of enemies. I still love how simply playing the game feels.
You can feel the effort that went into developing this game. The design of the world and the sonic landscape as well lends itself to fruitful and enjoyable exploration. The very fact that you can see something marginally suspicious and the game rewards you for checking it out is worthy of applause.
All of the new mechanics and themes within this Zelda world, as well as the world building congruent with the precious Zelda titles, make for a phenomenal gameplay experience. Thank you for this game, Nintendo. And to the Zelda team specifically: thanks for the hard work and dedication to your vision. I grew up playing and loving videogames. Sometime in the early to mid 2010's I grew disenchanted and fell out of love with the game industry as a whole due to feeling like the industry had fallen so far from the standards they upheld years ago. In a world where most AAA titles feel like they were developed more for the money and less for the fan, Breath of the Wild really feels like a breath of fresh air. Pun not intended but definitely worthwhile.
Sorry not sorry for fanboying. Much love.
Keep em coming Nintendo!
Truly the best game ever made. I have been playing for 20 plus hours, and every detail is so flawless. A thousand ways to do anything you want at any time, and in any order. Seemingly limitless possibilities...It is as if Nintendo has laid out the pieces of a watch, and they slowly show you how to figure out a way to put the watch together how you see fit. It is ingenious, and utterly and truly breath taking. The most fun I have had gaming in my life. Thank you, Nintendo.
why would people dislike revali
I actually like him the most from all champions
AqareCover Each champion has a different personality so each person will feel attached to a different character
I'm grateful that I decided to keep my pre order for my Wii U copy as well as getting it on Switch, because my 7 year old niece is as fascinated by this game as I am. We've been playing side by side for days, her on the gamepad, me on the Switch. She is actually really clever and suggested some puzzle solutions that I never would have thought of. Thank you for this absolutely amazing game.
Bring back Puzzle League / Panel De Pon!
I 100% agree with the idea of playing this game with friends and family. With one of my friends, we took that to another level, since we're playing together, each one having a joycon in hands. At first, it's kinda hard, but with communication, you can manage to play as if there was only one person holding both joycons. It's a really fun, interesting and original way to play. If you have the occasion to do it, try it !
You can also try to incorporate personal challenges while playing the game, for example don't fish or hunt and only cook with vegetables and mushrooms. That makes the game more challenging and totally changes the experience.
*Hidemaro:* "I like Urbosa best."
*Everyone else in the room:*
I love how much these guys genuinely live the series love the game love the console it shows through when someone is or has played and loves something
None of you are first...
We all arrived at the same time
MankeyGamez Yeah, everyone started the vídeo at 0:00
MankeyGamez true true
This is amazing. So much love and work put into it, they are talking about it like some childhood memory, they really consider this game to be their baby. This is a part of the history, best game ever made, and all of you should be proud - and I can see that you are. This game is truly special and I am enjoying it. Thank you Nintendo for being part of my life from mid 90's. I can proudly say that at some point I had most of your game consoles in my possession. SNES is still with me.
I CAN'T HANDLE THE MUSIC OF THE GAME..... IT MAKES ME WANT THIS AND THE SWITCH MORE AND MORE! I can't afford one :(
I feel so bad for you
+Nightcore Butterfly I feel bad for myself....
Have you got one now?
I have finished it after 140 hours and I still can't get enough of it. I keep going back and thanks to the Switch I'm playing it everywhere and showing everyone.
I'm really hoping for some patches to improve performance though, especially in docked mode.
One of the best games ever!!!
I didn't think something sometime will replace The Wind Waker as my favorite game ever. Now I'm in love with this jewel. Is like the perfect game for me, the perfect mix between the freedom and the plot that drives everything. Thanks for everything, Nintendo. Thanks for everything.
The guy sitting by Aonuma has such an interesting face. When he smiles and closes his eyes, he looks just like the Happy Mask Salesman.
But when he has a straight face he looks like Japanese Trump.
Yes! That "one tower" is my favorite too! Hearing Kass playing as I climbed up made me so excited to talk to him when I finally got to the top!
The one thing that worries me is that they won't a game like this one again...
The fierce deity Yeah, but I don't want to wait. The next Zelda game is most likely going to be like the traditional ones. Besides, waiting 20 years for another awesome Zelda game will be unbearable
Thank you for making this game. It's an unforgettable one, and will be a classic for a long time to come. It's incredible that I have played it for 150 hours and still have not experienced everything it offers, whether it's locations, secrets, activities, or ideas. I still feel very compelled to continue discovering and exploring while being completely sucked into the experience and world as I play. I'm also very glad that there is additional content in the future to build upon this incredible game.
AWESOME bonus
harambe is better
I can confirm, when I got this my whole family was watching and playing. My parents understood it, unlike games like Overwatch or even Smash where there's just a lot happening and fast paced. But they really got it, it was a blast.
Here’s to the BOTW team as they embark on the sequel!
Thank you Nintendo. You're a true credit to the gaming industry as a whole. I'll always be by your side to support you down the path as a company.
New favorite game of all time, surpassing Wind Waker for me.
Link Nah, TWW is still a brilliant game! :)
Link I know what you mean, it was quite frustrating when I played it as a kid back then. But now I kinda appreciate how the game encourages the player to do some exploration. This, and some other stuff as well there, could have been executed a bit better though!
Link Yeah, we all have different tastes. 👍😎
Just Focusing on every little detail makes such a big difference and makes the game fell way better
