    For a launch title, Nintendo certainly out done themselves with such a well crafted, beautiful masterpiece that demonstrates the power of good programming using relatively weak hardware. Whether in portable mode or docked, you will get the same experience. A lot of people complain about the weapon breakage, but I found it perfectly compliments the combat system. While in the beginning you don't have much choice but to pick up whatever and use it to fight, later on, you will get to choose whatever that you prefer especially once you get to know the places that weapons respawn. One frustrating mechanic which I wish they would tone down is how rain affects climbing. But even that can be overcome later on with the correct tools. If you expect a story, there is not much here. It's like Mario where you know the end game before the game even starts - save the world and the princess. There is nothing more in the way and you can even go directly to the final boss without doing anything else! This remains one of the best games I have ever played and will likely remain so for a very long time untill, maybe, Nintendo can somehow trump this with the next Zelda game.

    this game gave me chills the entire time i played it, the openness of the world is far more than i could have ever hoped for. when you think you've been everywhere in the game, you find a whole new area to explore. as soon as i beat it, i was immediately sad, because I could no longer experience it for the first time. simply put, this game is a masterpiece

    This is the first Zelda game I've ever played. In doing that, I've have a lot of fun with it. I think it's a great open world game, I haven't done the whole game yet, but I still have fun with it. Things are always catching my eye, and the story+side quests are entertaining at times. Overall I think it's a good game if you like openworld type games.

    I have never played a Zelda game before but WOW. This really set the bar high, I have spent countless hours just exploring the world, fighting monsters, catching horses, finding shrines, and looking for korok seeds. Just when you thought you have combed through every surface, you always discover something new.

    After Skyward Sword, they really needed to rethink what a AAA Zelda game should be and I believe they nailed it with BOTW. Being open world really opens up new possibilities for the franchise while at the same time keeping the familiarity of past games. Although I haven't finished the game yet and I'm far from it, I can already tell this is one of the greats. Pick it up asap!

    This game takes all the best beats from Ocarina of Time, blows everything up 100x bigger, and adds numerous throwbacks from Link to the Past, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Add a heaping helping of open-world exploration (a la Skyrim) and you have nothing short of a masterpiece.

    This game is both beautiful and fun. It's essentially an open world, RPG adventure game where you really get to choose how you want to play. The world, graphics, play style is amazing. If there is any question if you're on the fence of making this purchase (I was, and I usually wait for prices on games to drop), this is a game that feels like it is worth every penny.

    Fun to play. New to saga, still have a lot to learn. Good game for the committed. It takes a hour or so to understand the storyline and controls. Animation's and tutorials move a bit slow

    I haven't played a Zelda game in a long time and this game has made me wish I had never stopped. The game is a huge open world endeavor that has extremely detailed game play. Don't be put off though because it eases you in rather well. Just save everything you get and be prepared to cook.

    Breath of the Wild is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. It is gorgeous when you stand on a hill top and look to the horizon. Wandering the open world is awe inspiring and frightening at the same time, you don't know what will be around the next corner. Enjoying every moment I get to play.

    My boyfriend absolutely loves this game. He plays it all day. The graphics in this game are very beautiful and the storyline is great. There is always something to explore and there are lots of small surprises built within the game as well.

    I have read a lot of reviews about what makes this game great and I agree with a lot of them. This game has a great story and an a open world where you can go straight to the final boss fight if you want to; but I don't recommend it. Because you will be hugely unprepared for that battle.

    The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of my new favorite games and it is family friendly as well. It is a little like dark souls with the difficulty curve but non the less once you sink half your life into it and think you are getting good it will stomp on your dreams like a quarterback. The game is tons of fun though just a little difficult sometimes.

    This is hands down the best video game I have played in the past two years. For anyone that enjoys open world games or great game design this should be at the top of your list. Very easy to get lost in the world and not feel like you are wasting time but instead exploring a living world.
