If you have a switch and you don't have Breath of the Wild, you probably don't want your switch. This is the greatest game on that console and will be one of those games you will remember where you were when you started it, finished it, and all the stories you make for yourself in between

I am only a couple of hours into the game, but so far it is amazing! I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys open world games. There is a lot of exploring to do, but if you enjoy that sort of thing it's a lot of fun!

This was my introduction to Zelda game and it is awesome! There is so much to explore and you are able to do it at any pace you like. It is incredibly fun and looks great on the both the handheld and the TV. If you own a Nintendo Switch, this is a must-buy! Another contender for Game of the Year!

Very challenging, BUT I absolutely love the fact it puts my mind to work! Getting to explore mountains, oceans, and awesome forests. The adventure is amazing and they did a great job! It's a much more challenge with the fact every weapon breaks, hopefully I can find a weapon that I can keep for longer.

I bought a switch for this game and I'm so glad I did. The open world design gives you hours and hours of fun. I never thought I'd play a Zelda that I'd enjoy as much as A Link to the Past or Ocarina, but this is right there with them.

I finally beat the game after 125+ hours. One of the best games, if not the best, I've played in my life. Great story line, combat, open world that you can explore, all objects to interact, etc. Can recommend this game to anyone, gamers or non-gamers, for a time they will enjoy very much.

Nintendo hasn’t released a new entry into the Zelda franchise since the Wii. Sure they have put out remasters on the WiiU but finally a new game!
This game is HUGE! An open world Zelda? Yes please!! A definite must have if you consider yourself a fan of the Zelda franchise.

Enough said. This is the best video game I've ever played. Hyrule is a beautiful place to escape to. The story is interesting and well-delivered. The difficulty level is just right to give you that feeling of accomplishment, unlike most games today that are just too easy. I can't recommend this enough.

I waited a very very very long time for Nintendo to release this game. It was teased as far back as the Wii days (heh). I bought a Wii with Twilight Princess and after playing that, a new Zelda game was announced. Then the Wii U came out. I bought the Wii U in anticipation for this game. I bought Mike Tyson Punch Out...as I awaited this game then nothing. Wii U was a flop. Then all of a sudden this Switch console was released with this game. What?! Due to my frustrations and disappointment with Nintendo, I didn't purchase until the unforeseen Pandemic hit. Well after finally deciding to purchase one as my circumstances aligned with an uncanny coincidence, I bought A Switch with Zelda. All I can say is, well done and well worth the wait. All is forgiven Nintendo, but I still don't trust you. Haha.

A little bit different feeling of open world-ish game that Zelda usually is, but still a great entry. Reminds of Twilight Princess, at least first 5 hrs into.
Has some issues with frame rate in certain situations when playing on a big screen. I use pro controller as I could not get used to joy cons.

Game was hard, real hard in the beginning but as you get used to it, it gets more fun. There’s so much gameplay time in it that it’s well worth it’s full price tag. Just need to get past the initial hurdles and it gets really fun.

Firs of all, I have never played a Zelda game in my life. This is tha first time. If you love the characters and what the world of Zelda has giving you, this is by no means a Masterpiece. It has hours and hours of play, and how the game is made is just masterful. However, if you just want a video game to entertain you and to pass a good playtime, Zelda sometimes doesn't give you that. You can spend minutes and minutes without doing almost nothing. The world sometimes feels empty, and also the fact that weapons break, make the fights less enjoyable to be honest.
Depends what you are looking for this could be the game of your life or just a sometimes enjoyable experience.

This game was purchased as a gift.
I was never a Nintendo-child. I grew up very solidly in the camp of Sega and the blue hedgehog. That said, one of my best friends made sure to introduce me to the Legend of Zelda series in my mid-20s. I was reluctant to jump in at first, but very quickly came to enjoy the simple pleasures to be found in exploring and adventuring within the land of Hyrule. Each game in the series provides a different take on a familiar story, allowing us to experience new and exciting discoveries amongst a backdrop of the familiar. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes this familiar formula and opens it up to heights never seen before in this series. Painstakingly hand crafting an open-world adventure, and borrowing many elements from its contemporaries, this title is able to become more than just the sum of its parts. It is a game that is sure to be talked about for years to come and has raised the bar by which future open world adventures will be judged.

Whether you've been playing Zelda games since the 80s or this is your first time, BotW is a perfect game for you. The gameplay is buttery smooth, the story is fantastic, the visuals are breathtaking. Perfect on your big screen TV or on the go, this game is great!

This game has everything. It has a beautiful open world where you can spend hours exploring and find new things every day. It has a beautiful story with heartwarming characters. It has tough battles and challenges. It is the perfect game, especially if you are a Zelda fan.

Even with all the great reviews before I bought this I didnt know I would love it this much. Ive had it for quite awhile and still play it. Its one of the best open world games out there, and the best Zelda title Ive played for sure. Im really looking forward to a sequel!

Fantastic game to start off with on the Switch. Definitely utilizes the entirety of the console. Really is a breath of fresh air to the Zelda series. High recommend if you like to spend a lot of time exploring and fully immersing yourself into the character, world, and stories you find along the way.
