Yes, we have a glut of BotW threads, especially right at this moment. But during all of this past glorious year we have not had a straight-up (except for one sorta, but not really) screenshot thread! Of one of the most eye candy games of all dang time! Well, it's clearly time to rectify this! :D

****RULES****

You can post your own, or others. Larger, good quality pics are preferred. GIFs are permitted, but don't go overboard on them.

NO videos.

Keep text to a minimum. You may give a brief reaction, point out a nice effect, or say if something's memorable/important to you. And of course, you may always reply to a quote. But otherwise, please let the pictures speak for themselves.

No macros (captions), Photoshopping, or enhancement. Cropping is ok.

Maximum of 7 pictures per post. Wait for three ONE other person to post ~ OR 48 hours ~ before posting again.

Aside from that, it's up to you! Link, Zelda, mountains, fields, sunsets, weapons, enemies, dungeons, shirtless poses next to farm animals, absolutely ANY kind of traditional or silly shot is welcome! :-)

uh oh...even though I have a 120 hour game and it's been months and months since I've played it, I feel myself being drawn back to this game again. It was just such an amazing game/experience.

I never really messed with the screenshots. Are the goofy facial expressions something you can add in-photo (a la newest Uncharted), or are they right-moment captures?

And people think I'm crazy for having nearly 200 hours on the game, only one divine beast completed and like barely 2/3 of the map cleared. If you're one of those gamers that just likes to pan the camera around and take in the sights, Botw is the best thing ever.

Precisely this and this is me to a T. It took me 320 hours approx to beat the game the first time and I missed an absolute TON of content which I STILL haven't seen even on my second game! 440ish hours now at a much quicker paced second game on Master Mode but there's still quite a lot for me to do and see.


I love the reflections I see at the very bottom.
Trying to recreate the official art best I could:

Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Never even thought to do this.


My favorite of your pics.

Does anyone know how to import and edit video from Switch? I have a few that would make nice gifs, but importing into Premier or Photoshop doesn't seem to work (CS5).

This thread is a perfect anniversary present for this absolutely stunning game.

Oh and if somehow you haven't played this thing yet... get outta here! Don't look at these! Go play!

Not the first two pics I took but definitely the first two I decided to put captions on and share on Facebook.

I probably didn't even know how to parry or dodge then!

Oh man...much like Grand Theft Auto V, every time I see a screenshot thread for Breath of the Wild I'm reminded just how INCREDIBLE the game is!

Something this game does really well is conveying the temperature and density of the air — whether it's the a moist dewy morning, the steaminess of a jungle at noon, or a chill fog lingering over a snowy peak at night. Atmosphere is so thick you could cut it with a knife! Some don't like this "haze," but it adds a lot, and it's very deliberate — you can see it shifting as it rolls across the land, and at times it lifts entirely.

Man, I wonder how long it will be until the next game that delivers this kind of experience.

Logged 300 hours into the game already, and love seeing all these pics here. Subbed. I am going to fire up the game again tonight, and maybe make some screenshots too.

Already tried posting the video (the 30sec clips) on Twitter and downloading that video to your PC for editing/archiving/etc? (BTW, those videos are mp4, 720p@30 and the mean size are 5-11MB depending on how much movement are on the clip)...

That's what I'm doing with my videos since I haven't a MicroSD for my Switch yet...

-----------------

Another batch from my early game (the game is SO massive that I've put 55h doing sidequest, shrines and none of the main story... XD)...

I've been trying to get them right off the SD card. The mp4s show as blank—a black video—in all my editing programs. If I try to convert them to a different file type every frame becomes a green rectangle. The only program that opens them is VLC, where they play fine.
