If you've always enjoyed the Zelda games, you can't go wrong on this one. It reminds me the N64 era but with a more Skyrim-like open format. If you haven't ever played a game from this series, this game is a perfect one to start with!
My only complaint has nothing to do with the game itself, but the controllers. It takes a while to adjust to them. I actually enjoy playing it more like a DS.

I was so excited to get this game I'm a HUGE Zelda fan. This game is living up. My husband was not a huge fan of Zelda before, but the open world platform, and the ability to go do something else if the challenge is not something you want to do at the time is awesome. I've played for hours of entertainment, and still have tons to do. You get a huge bang for your buck. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This is a joy to play! It's open world and provides just enough direction to know where to go but it doesn't stop you from exploring. If you go to an area that's above your level, you will be one-shot. The music is minimal which ties in with the plot of the story. I miss the music from Ocarina of Time but I like how this music matches the feel of the story. Definitely worth getting.

If you have played Zelda games up through the different Nintendo consoles, you are absolutely blown away to see the graphics and gameplay of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With an open world such as this game offers, there are hours upon hours of gaming with this Zelda offering. I would HIGHLY recommend this game for the Nintendo Switch.

This truly is a candidate for game of the year. This is by far my favorite Zelda game I've ever played in my life. The open world environment allows you to pretty much do whatever you want take whatever path you want and discover whatever you want in any shape form or fashion. I would highly recommend anyone who loves open world games for Nintendo games in general to pick up a copy of Zelda.

This is in my opinion one of the best Zelda games to date. The amount to do can be a little overwelhming, but assures that you will be playing this for a long time. The physics alone make this game groundbreaking and it doesn't hold you hand. It is the first time in a long time I have had to stop and think about what to do in a Zelda game. I highly recommend this game for any lapsed Zelda fans.

Enjoy this title for everything it is. Complete open world with very little load times. Feel like going right to Ganon and seeing what you can do? Do it... Feel like getting a horse and travelling the country building up supplies, go right ahead. You will not regret this purchase. And now you can play it anywhere!

I skipped this game (and the Switch altogether) 6 years ago because I didn’t think the Switch was a better system than the PS4 and XBox One I had. I also got so caught up in the graphics of the other consoles, that I missed out on the wide open gameplay of Breath of The Wild, and the overall fun Nintendo has given gamers for years. So when Nintendo announced the Tears of the Kingdom Switch, I immediately thought to give this game a try, boy did I make the mistake of passing up this game 6 years ago. I highly recommend that you play this game before you play Tears of the Kingdom, and if you’re on the fence about a Switch… get one, and buy this game!

This isn't your standard Zelda game. It's open world with very little hand holding, which makes for an adventurous time. Expect to spend dozens of hours exploring and learning new tricks while you rescue Hyrule from Calamity Gannon. Easily the best game on Switch and one of the best Zelda games ever made.

One of the funnest video games I've played. Ever. Has a wonderful open world feel without taking itself too seriously like many RPGs do these days. It is like a mash up of Fable and Skyrim in that it's cartoony like the former but very deep in stuff to do like the latter. Combat is better than both and puzzles are very satisfying. If you can only get one switch game, get this.

This game is beautiful. The art style, the music, and the story all come together to make an amazing experience. It is not a perfect game but it is worth every dollar. This has been my first console Zelda experience so I can am definitely not what you would call a Zelda fanboy. If you've got the money and enjoy open world RPGs you should definitely buy this game.

My kid absolutely loves this game! Every weekend, he only gets a couple of hours of game time, and he spends it playing this game. Amazing graphics, even on the original Switch.

What can I say that hasn't been said about this game already? I've always been a big Legend of Zelda fan but this game is IMO the best game in the series. Nintendo really took it to the next level with this chapter in the series. I am excited for all there is to come with the Legend of Zelda. If you own a Switch and you don't have this game already, what are you waiting for!!??

Amazing game and worth the money! The open world means that you have seemingly endless exploration and tasks to do. If you are looking for a fun game to pass the time and be fulfilling, this is the one for you!

An amazing gamestory couple with an equally amazing game mechanics. As with the name, you need to explore most of the map as well as the abilities you have. A downside for this game (at least for me) is that I haven't seen Link taking!!!!

Absolutely amazing game. I am a fan of open world rpgs; Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, etc. I have to say this is one of the best of the bunch if not the best. Great story and lots of hours that you can put into the game. The only annoying thing is how quickly weapons break.

Love this game! There is so much to it! I bought it for my boyfriend and watching him play I ended up buying it too so that we could both play. It's so fun!

Great game with tons of hours of play value. It’s challenging but not TOO challenging. My 5 year old nephew loves it and I love it as wel. You can easily get a couple hundred hours of play out of it just exploring and interacting with the environment alone. The story line is very straightforward but the visuals and hidden things and “puzzles” throughout the game are great. For example you’ll see something at the beginning of the game, then down the line you’ll learn what you need to tackle that challenge. You earn these runes that allow you to interact differently with the environment and the different interactions usually result in different outcomes. So while it’s not all “what you do determines the outcome” it allows you to experiment and tackle obstacles differently and even manage the environment differently such as using ice blocks to climb a waterfall instead of finding a way up the mountain. Love this game :)
