I remember back in September or October I was sittinf in class and I got the random urge to get a Switch for no reason. So I went and got one right after class. With it, I bought Super Mario Odessey, Breath of the Wild, and Pre Ordered Let's Go Eevee. Breath of the Wild was only the 2nd Zelda game that I ever played but I heard so many good things about it so I had to pick it up.

During the first few weeks of having the Switch I played Zelda for like 10 minutes and got bored. At the time, I was still in my PS4 phase and also watching a lot of DVD's and working and school and stuff, so I didn't have much time for something new. A couple months ago I fully went into Switch mode now having like 20 games and Breath of the Wild was one of the first games I put a ton of hours into and I wasn't disappointed. I already put in a good number of hours into playing it and still haven't gotten bored yet, despite going back and doing the same thing over and over.

GRAPHICS: 9/10

The graphics are really really good. This is the kind of game where the world is so big that you'd expect it to be on the PS4, XBOX One, or PC to have these kinds of graphics. The world is so colorful and beautiful, with so many details that make is so wonderful to look at. Every design is great as well, whether it's the castle, the divine beasts, the creatures, the mountains, or everything else in between.

All the animations are very smooth as well, meaning there's never any delay, especially in combat, and it's pretty easy to get lost in how real it feels. The game looks great, it runs so smoothly, it's crystal clear, and the graphics gets a 9 out of 10.

SOUND: 8/10

The game sounds pretty good. I can't exactly say that I'm a big fan of the music because I haven't actually played much Zelda before this going back to the original games. So the only Zelda music I have any experience is the original theme song, so I don't really have any attachment to the songs found throughout this game. I think the soundtrack is pretty good though. For sound, I think the game gets it's most points for the regular sounds of the game.

The composers did a good job at making the world feel very immersive, and I played the game so much that I'm used to hearing certain sounds and being like "oh god I'm about to die." Personally I wouldn't call the sounds of this game as good as other Switch games such as Super Smash Bros and Super Mario Odessey but it's still pretty good. The sound aspect of Breath of the Wild is going to get another solid 8 out of 10.

ADDICTIVENESS: 10/10

Breath of the Wild is super addicting, and it's very hard for the game to get old, even after playing for more than 100 hours of playing. The world has the same kind of appeal that you would find in games like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2. There's always something to explore and places to visit. One thing that I love about this game is the blood moo, which is very helpful in grinding but also gives you a fun and challenging reason to go back to areas that you've already been to.

The blood moon just respawns all the enemies that you killed, so when that happens, you can spend countless more hours having fun killing them all over again and its a source of never ending resources so you can keep collecting items, and weapons. Because of weapon durability, you're always on the lookout for new weapons, so you find yourself fighting monsters that you've already killed with more of a purpose than other games, where you would just grind for EXP.

I feel like the combat is the most addicting part of the game because there will always be a monster to fight somewhere and you need to keep collecting items and weapons, so it never really grows old. You can spend dozens of hours fighting, dozens more searching for items and cooking, and even more hours just exploring the world, even if you've already been somewhere before. The addictiveness aspect of the game gets a perfect 10 out of 10.

STORY: 9/10

At it's core, the story of the game is basically just saving the world from Calamity Ganon and doing that by freeing the Divine Beasts. The only issue that I have with the story is the process of finding memories. When you look at all the memories, together they tell you a lot about the story, the world, and the characters. They tell you this through really nice cutscenes too instead of just text.

But you have to find the memories. The game really makes you work to see most of the story. Instead of straightforward reveals like in most games, where you just see the story unfold in front of you, Breath of the Wild makes you spend hours searching for where the story takes place before you can actually unlock that part of the story. To me that kind of takes away from the game a bit. However, once all the work is done, the entire story and all the little characters and plot details are really good and well written once all laid out in front of you. In general, the story of the game will get a 9 out of 10.

DEPTH: 10/10

The game has so much to do. Even if you don't spend time grinding, exploring, and doing the hundreds of side quests, you will still spend many hours playing the game. Heck, even if you didn't do any of the story or quests, and just tried to explore the entire map without gliding, you would probably spend more than 20 hours just walking around, and that doesn't even include combat. When you put all the different aspects of the game together, you get something that will take you at least 100 hours to play and that's not including whether you go back to do more battling or exploring.

The bulk of the depth is split into three major categories.

The massive world with so many different places to explore and different biomes to traverse from plains, to mountains, to volcanoes, to deserts, to beaches. The sheer number of shrines and the different puzzles also add a lot to do.

The story and all the side quests offer a lot as well. Spend countless hours with the diving beasts, build your own house and a village, collect Korok seeds, and do all sorts of other tasks. They all add up and if you do them all, That's dozens of hours down the drain.

Cooking also adds a lot to the depth of the game. First of all you're going to spend so much time finding different ingredients throughout the world, then you're going to spend so much more time actually cooking and going through different recipes.

Beyond those major aspects, there's even more to the depth, but just those alone are enough to warrant a 10 out of 10 at minimum.

DIFFICULTY: 7

This is definitely what I dislike the most about this game. There are a number of times where the game can be very difficult. Running around and exploring the world is a lot of fun. Combat is fun. Flying around is fun. But then you get to some of the quests, puzzles, and shrines, which can either become too challenging or too time consuming.

I remember I was doing the Yoga Clan hideout and I kept raging so hard. I kept getting caught and I was so close to entirely giving up on the game. I died like 40 times in total and it took around 3 hours of game time to beat this one level. Plus a lot of shrines don't really give you any explanation or hints and it becomes too hard at times. Difficulty gets a 7.

PROS:

Beautiful world with lots of places to explore.

Ability to continuously go back and fight enemies that you already killed.

Insane number of deep and well written characters.

Paragliding.

CONS:

Easy to lose interest if one quest or puzzle is too difficult or time consuming.

Weapon durability makes it easy to lose a strong or favorite weapon.

Stamina is a problem the first 40 or so hours.

OVERALL: 9.3/10

Overall, Breath of the Wild is so much fun, so beautiful, and there's so much to do. Right now it's one of my two most favorite Switch games and I don't really think there's going to be another game that takes such a high spot for a while. For fans of Zelda, it's a no brainer that they should play this game, but even for those who don't like Zelda, they should give it a try. This is the perfect game for those who like open world exploration and cool combat systems. This is essentially the Switch version of games like Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption, and even Skyrim.

Overall, the game is really good and deserves a really good grade, so I'm going to give it a 9.3 out of 10. If some of the puzzles were a little less rage inducing, I might have said it was even better.

Yes, I can't wait for the sequel.
