I'm ~10 hours in, which is nothing plotwise. It is really good, but I still don't see it as the best game of all time. But, this is a game everyone should play. Gameplay, atmosphere, details and mechanics are like no other I've ever played (except maybe Metroid), and if you have an easy, or cheap way to try it out, do so. It is a great experience overall. 

Although, when I am playing, I do feel like I truly love it. It's weird. If I'm not playing it, I feel judgemental, but when I play it, I feel in love. That's probably the sign of a good game

Could've  sworn I saw a 4.5 hour soundtrack of BotW on YouTube 

Well I was completely invested in Horizon Zero Dawn until just before I went to pick up the Switch. I actually felt more compelled to continue playing Horizon instead of setting up the Switch, I just went to a midnight launch for.... I haven't touched Horizon since I started Zelda, played until 5am this morning, played a bunch more hours today already, will continue to play soon deep into the night again. So yes, it is that good :)

It's magic, it's fun, exploration is so rewarding in this game. There are lots of different ways you can tackle problems. No invisible barriers, you can climb anywhere as long as you have enough stamina, great autosave system, short loading times, very challenging depending on where you go.

We were playing Windwaker again before this came out. That was my favorite Zelda game, yet it feels so restrictive now. In BotW you're out and free to explore in just a few minutes! And by the time you get familiar with the first huge area, it turns out to only be a tiny piece of the now completely opened up map.

It's not perfect perfect. Music is held back too much, and the joy-cons aren't that great imo. Plus the controls are a bit confusing at first. Yet sooo much better than skyward sword ugh and even TP on the Wii.

Ofcourse it might turn out to not be very replay friendly. I can play through Windwaker again and have fun while I find openworld games usually too much to start a second playthrough.

oh yeah.  As I said in a previous post I prefer the Witcher, but i think BOTW is much better than Persona.  Personal preference I guess.

It's hard for me to say so far, but what I played I really enjoyed. There's just so much freedom here. As said before, after a few minutes, you're pretty much free to do whatever you want. There is a sort of tutorial, but it never really ties you down. Your only limit is yourself really. You're free to do whatever you want when you want, and there's things to discover everywhere. This is a game I fear just because I feel like I could be playing it for a very, very long time if I want to see as much as possible.

Is it good? Very likely. Is it good enough to buy a console over? Well, that's up to you to decide.

That by no means discredits anyone's comments made on the game, and really, this could be said for any group.

Wow so fast? 

What are those other 4 games?

Off the topic of my head:

Super Metroid

Xenogears

Half Life 2

Okami

As you probably can tell, the Action-Adventure genre is my favorite. Super Metroid is #1, but the rest don't have a particular order. 

I'm about 10 hours into the game and I can say for sure this is the best open world game ever created.
The way they build the world is truly mindblowing, no matter where you go, you will find stuff (and stuff that is actually useful)

I've got about 6 hours in-game. I like it. But, it is not impressive at all graphically. There are frame drops all the time. I haven't experienced this much stuttering in a AAA game in a while. So, it has to lose a point at least for that.

At this point, I'll give it an 8.

Note also that I'm playing on WiiU, which reports indicate had fewer frame rate problems than Switch.
