Is Breath of the Wild really that good?

Are you really saying that you've only expressed an opinion on games you've played, food you've eaten, albums you've listen to?

Also, are you aware of the quote button?

Isn't that what everyone should do? How can you speak with authority on something you've never experienced? Playing 15 minutes of Ocarina of Time twenty years ago does not an expert make.

The OP is ostensibly looking for first-hand data, not the assumptions of people who will probably never play the game.

Well surely no one can speak with authority because everyone is different. I could say, tried a chinese resturant last night and I can speak with authority that it was the best resturant ever. But surely thats only based on their experience and if they have limited experience or tastes or standards, then it doesnt mean a lot does it. What is the reader doesnt like chinese food at all, then that opinion is mute. I can see chinese food on a plate and know if i'll like it or not, dont need to eat the food on the plate, I can tell you if I like a car or not by looking at it, dont need to test drive it. The difference with games is you can get a pretty good overview of a game from playthrough videos... or do you disagree?

Everyone is different, tastes are different. The OP is asking for opinions without giving much information about themselves except, game is scoring well, is it worth getting a console for, we have no idea of the cirucmstances around the OP's background. Do they normally buy nintendo consoles, do they like open world games, so I dont think its too much to have a general discussion. In fact whats wrong with a general discussion about what people like and dont like about the game without the need to go into "Speaking with Authority".
