    One of the best Zelda games i've played and one of the best games i've played.BOTW is a very well made game, you can do anything your way in whatever order you want, it's not linear on how you play it and its very open and expansive, you can play it for hours and hours, and still not be done. BOTW is an awesome game that I think everyone should play

    One of the best Zeldas in years

    I've played all of the past Zeldas and this game really made me nostalgic for some reason. This game absolutely does not hold your hand and this game can be quite challenging in the beginning. But the very diverse open world makes this game feel enormous. I'm 50 hours in, and I still want to play a lot more of this Zelda game.

    Got this as a present, but having played the game myself when it came out , if I ended up on a desert island, and i could take only 1 switch game with me, that would still be this one. Countless hours of adventure, exploration and experimentations. This changed the Zelda formula, but it’s one of the best zelda games.

    Love seeing Nintendo going back to a more cartoon style platform instead of trying to make things as realistic as possible. Makes the game more fun and inviting. The open world aspect is amazing and can make the game rather challenging when traveling to new locations or just searching. Overall the graphics are good and game play works well, but learning how everything works can take a bit of time.

    No words to describe this game. Simply incredible from start to finish. One of the greatest games ever made for any console. Open world map is gigantic, game play is nearly flawless, and you’ll find yourself getting lost in just roaming the land and appreciating the scenic graphics. 10/10 must play this game if you own a Switch.

    I'm new to Zelda and gaming in general. I love this game. It's hard to put down. It's definitely challenging but it's an amazing world to get lost in. I love that even as a beginner I can find ways to overcome the challenges. I'm still in the begining levels and am having a hard time finding attire and armor but i still enjoy it a ton.

    Best Zelda Game in Years

    Finally a brand new Zelda game and not just a remake. If you are a verteran fan or a brand new one for the series, this game offers everything. It is considered an RPG but more adventure like and not like Final Fantasy. It has a lot of different elements and the story is involving. This game will keep you entertained and busy for weeks. There is DLC coming as well to add onto the adventure later this year.

    If you like Zelda, Get it. If you like open world games and exploring, get it. If you want a simple and linear game, you might not like it. Best Zelda since Wind Waker. Yeah, Twighlight Proncess is good, but WW was better. This is a good game.

    Such a beautiful game! It’s been out for years now and I finally got around to purchasing a switch. This was the first game in the cart after I decided on buying the switch. Great graphics, great story, lots of content, what more could you ask?

    I am not a big fan of most Zelda games, just because they're not usually for me. But this game is incredible, and it does a lot of things right. The world is very large, and very quickly you receive several ways to move around the world. The weapons are breakable, which means that you will be forced to try different things and find new weapons as you travel through the game. Don't worry though, as almost every enemy carries some type of weapon you can pick up, and most shrines have a reward of a weapon within a chest somewhere inside. The point of the game is to defeat the final boss, who can technically be reached right away from the beginning of the game. The main point of the rest of the world is to explore and find items and gear to make your final fight easier. The main help will be health and stamina which are obtained from completing Shrine Trials. You must find shrines all across the world and enter them to complete a trial, either a puzzle or a fight with a small miniboss, to receive an orb item. Once you've got 4 orbs, you can exchange them for either more health or more stamina. The other objective in the game is to climb watchtowers to activate them as fast travel points and to reveal areas of the map. I really enjoyed this game, and I think any gamer will find something to enjoy about this game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece of a game. We always knew that if Nintendo ever made a giant open world game that it would blow us away, and we were right. Everything about this game is impressive. The world is expansive and beautiful. The story is capturing. The characters are memorable. The music is enchanting. You won't regret playing this game.

    This is the best Zelda game to date. It allows free moving to anywhere. No more having to follow a linear path, you choose where to go first. The weapons and shields breaking and low storage space is annoying, but you find enough that you're never empty handed. The challenging boss fights and puzzles are great. I recommend to anyone who enjoys character driven rather than story driven games.

    Best Zelda Game in a Long Time

    I am a huge Zelda fan, and although I was disappointed with a few of the newest handheld games (like TriForce Heroes), and I wasn't in love with Skyward Sword, this new Zelda game is epic. It is beautiful, fun, the story is great, and I love the use of amiibos and the controller itself for the Switch version. I don't know how the Wii version plays, but the Switch version is so fun to play around with.

    I've been around for every Zelda game but for whatever reason I never found them interesting. I decided to finally break the ice with BotW and quickly realized that I messed up never playing Zelda before. The story is great, the game is incredibly deep, and it keeps you busy. I don't have the time to sit down and play in long stretches, so this game will keep me occupied for months! Love that!

    This game is an incredible mix of open world and classic Zelda. The only negative is that weapons break easily - but in that sense, the game forces you to rotate weapons more often. This is a top notch game, and it's clear that the creators were paying very close attention to details.

    This is great, they give you quest markers but for the most of the game you have to either explore, or talk to people to figure out what to do next. Open world. I would say its perfect mix of the original Legend of Zelda and Ocarina of time, with a very different weapons system. This has a very nice potion and food crafting system that is NEEDED to progress most quest and side quest. Love this game

    We already owned this for Wii U, but my son wanted it for Switch for an early Christmas present. He immediately commented on how much smoother the graphics are on the Switch than the Wii U, and the DLC (expansion pack) is a huge hit with him. Improved gameplay and improved content equals one very happy boy, which makes me a happy dad!
