Let me get this strait....your a 30 year old guy that plays video games and watches movies all day....and even has a wife that joins him.
You my friend are living the dream!

"Sometimes she'll just run around and go to shrines and not even try to defeat any of the bosses or do any of the main quests."

I'm about 15+ hours into the game, and you just described my experience exactly so far.

The level of salt in the comment section is amazing. the nintendo hate is real people. protect yourselves cause fan boys are out in droves.

[TayDays]

I actually have a legitimate concern of what would happen after this game.Would Nintendo revert back to the old style of 3D Zelda or continue with this big, expansive style?

[VALDASILVA]

Presentation guys... Presentation!!!! I can't emphasize it enough!!!! and this guy got it. Congratulations on your setup. Your wall paint, accent light, figures well placed together and all the gaming collections in an order, all plays together in your presentation in the background.

Let me guess, Chris grew up with Zelda?

[AiZm]

Hi, just wanted to say that I enjoyed your impression Link humming and reacting to cooked dishes.

[BitterComments]

This isn't the first Zelda games with dialogue in the cutscenes, Chris. Haven't you ever played the Zelda CDI games? 😆

[kingofwakanda]

Ok I'm not a gamer at all but I was waiting to see if Chris would review this game. All the hype made me interested.

It is pretty pathetic how serious people get about video games. It never ceases to amaze me how people can get so angry that people enjoy something they don't. If you don't like BOTW, and don't think it is a great game, that is fine! Not everyone likes the same things. How do people actually get upset that someone likes something they don't? Any why does everything have to be a contest? All I see people doing is comparing BOTW to Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Skyrim. Why can't all those games be enjoyed and liked for different reasons?
I personally love BOTW, I have loved the Zelda series as a whole for a long time, and I love BOTW. Now I do agree the 10/10 ratings may be a bit overrated. The game isn't perfect. NO game is perfect. I have my issues with it at times. I do find the weapon system a bit annoying at times, and the Beasts "dungeons" aren't that amazing. So no it is not perfect 10/10. But it is still a great game, and I have had a blast playing it so far. And you don't have to personally really enjoy, or even play a game, to appreciate it is a well made game.

I think the game is receiving both extremes. You have people who are over praising it saying it is perfect, when it is not perfect. But you also get those people who hate when something they don't like is very popular. So you have people completely shitting on the game saying it is horrible because for some strange reason people actually care what other people enjoy.

Play and enjoy what you want to play, and let other people play and enjoy what they want to play. Get over yourself and stop making everything a competition. They are VIDEO GAMES. They are mean't to be FUN.

[percussionplayer]

Do you think it's worth getting a Switch just for this game?

[VezixHaikal]

Apparently you can't Compare Zelda BOTW to any other Open World Games especially Witcher 3, or even have any opinion saying Zelda BoTW is extremely good video game
or you will get crucified.
damn the comment section is scary

[tkprov]

i have put in at least 70 hours and barely put a dent in the game. hands down best game ever!

[fcukugimmeausername]

Hey Chris, have you ever gotten stuck in Zelda and been like 'oh, I'm stuck, man'.

[SCAMDEMIC]

I agree it's a 10. The Switch was my 1st launch day console too.

[JackCaliber]

One of my favorite moments: I climbed the railing of a bridge, and a passing traveler started trying to talk me out of committing suicide. :D

[NeonNokt]

The only flaw with the game is that you can't get an outfit that lets you climb stuff when its raining...

[jacobjoshuaferianc]

Chris, you don't know how excited I have been for this review from you!

[jaipoh]

Wii U isn't dead yet. Playing BotW on it 👍🏼

[ninjaUsee]

This is my first Zelda game (I am an avid Mario fan and never delved into the world of TLOZ) and oh boy is it overwhelming. I bought the Switch with Mario Odyssey and after completing that 100% in under 2 weeks, I decided to pick this up for a change instead of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (also beccause I have literally every Mario Kart console game since Super Circuit). The sheer size of this game, compared to Mario games, has me at awe and I am so into it. I've had this game for about 3 weeks now, playing it everyday and I still feel like I haven't even scratched the surface. There is a sense of freedom in this game and it is so much more challenging than Odyssey. Both games are great and I am so looking forward to complete BOTW.
