What the GamePad does offer is the same control flexibility as seen on the Switch, understandably as Breath of the Wild was originally intended to showcase the pad. We're not even kidding, they were talking and expressing themselves as if they were bumping gums about a fun weekend hunting wild boar. You'll see strange and unexpected things happen, and you'll even be able to observe enemies behaving in very individual ways - at one point on Wii U we actually saw a group of Bokoblins sat around the fire having a nice chat. The development team achieved something special in creating not only the mechanics to pull the world together, but in what it achieved with this depiction of Hyrule. Even on multiple playthroughs for the process of our content and reviews, we've found ourselves playing in different ways each time, pretty much by accident. Even simple environmental puzzles can have 3-4 solutions, some of which only became clear to this writer from talking to others. This is an experience that will be different for everyone, in terms of the order in which they discover and tackle problems, to how they explore and perceive the world. That's a lot of Zelda, but ultimately what we've been doing is trying to answer one key question - does the game stand up on Wii U, and does its quality shine through on the system?įrom our own multiple saves and conversations with fellow gamers, what shines through in this game is that it's not a pretend approach to this genre, nor is it compromised and giving an illusion of freedom that is overblown. What we have been doing is playing through multiple areas and parts of the Wii U entry, while also playing through a similar amount in a fresh save on Switch.
Promises have been made that, some performance features and 'dynamic' sound aside, these are the same games - we've been putting that to the test.įirst and foremost, let's be clear in saying that unlike for our Switch review we have not played through to completion once again on Wii U. After all, this title was announced for Wii U and was primarily developed for the system, with Nintendo making a relatively late decision to port to the Switch with a 3rd March release date. Yet not everyone is buying into Nintendo's latest hardware yet, and there have been plenty of fair questions around how this game shapes up on its original home - the Wii U. We've been playing a lot of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, mostly on Nintendo Switch.
