Customer Ratings & Reviews

Seriously one of my favorite games ever. I've spent over 80 hours in the game so far and am still finding new things to do and see, and have so much game left to go. Highly recommend for Zelda fans and anyone looking for a great open-world game to dive into.

Wrote this after beating it: I think BOTW is a great jumping back in point for older fans of the series like myself. I got a kick out of how they handled a lot of the older ideas of the series. My only issue with the game would exist with a couple of the "mandatory" motion control shrines that just weren't nailed as excellently as the rest of it. But overall, the game is fun. I never felt like I was "wasting time." And creativity with the games built in mechanics meant I was constantly learning and relearning how to deal with the game even at its hardest moments. Very gratifying. My suggestion for the DLC is if you are a new player to BOTW and want the extra content, go for it. But in terms of someone coming back to BOTW after the fact, just enjoy what you have.

Wide open areas and plenty of collectibles to find. You can either just play just for the story or really hunt around and find every item. Collecting items to make food is a lot more fun than it sounds. Best adventure game I have played since the WItcher 3 .

Breath of the Wild absolutely lives up to my expectations as a franchise fan, and even if another game that I want comes out for the Switch, it was worth it to purchase just for this game. Nintendo has done a wonderful job by creating a truly immersive world, where the only thing stopping a player from getting somewhere is Link's current stamina and the players patience, ingenuity, and ability to think outside the box. There are many added game mechanics in Breath of the Wild, but they all feel natural to the evolution of the game. No matter who you are, whether a first-time gamer, or a Zelda fan from the days of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, this game is something you must play.

This game is very big. Although it has some slowdowns in frame rate, most of the time I didn't notice it. The game has a lot to do. I'm STILL not done with it after 40+ hours of gameplay. Two thumbs.

The game is excellent, the game play is smooth and the large open world brings a new level of depth to the Zelda universe

Best game ever, this is a vast opened world game, and if you like to explore you'll love this game. It is highly recommended.

Great open world game a different Zelda but in a good way you'll find yourself immersed in a new Hyrule being sidetracked with many wonders and intrigued by many aspects of the game maybe a little hard getting use to but once you delve in you won't be sorry.

Zelda has been taken to a new level. The combat is fun. The world is huge and there is a lot to explore. The game doesn't stop you from traveling throughout the map right from the get go. While you may run into some enemies too tough that is part of the fun.

One of the best games I have ever played, and with the Switch I can take this amazing console-quality game anywhere! Beautiful, Epic, Perfection. Adding open world flow to the Zelda franchise ended up being the exact right way to evolve the series. LOVE IT.

This is the same Zelda game you've loved for years, but with tons of new features, gameplay mechanics, and a more expansive, open world. I've only put a few days into this game so far, but it's been extremely fun and I can't wait to see how it continues.

So much is done in right in this game that it is hard to not give it 5 stars, but one glaring flaw really hampered my enjoyment of the game. Weapons can break, and very quickly in some cases, including the legendary Master Sword. The idea behind the decision is sound, the developers wanted to force the player to use a variety of weapons and be able to adapt to what they find. But in practice, I found it to be a major hassle and it detracted greatly from what was otherwise a masterpiece.

I recently bought and Nintendo Switch, as kind of an impulse buy. Breath of the Wild was the first game I got for the Switch and I haven’t been able to put it down. About 45 hours in and enjoying every minute of the game play and story.

This game is definitely a little different than the older Zelda games but the open world environment and exploration is a nice touch and there's a lot to do, only annoying thing I've found is that weapons tend break pretty easily.

Really great game, honestly my favorite out of all of them. I put around 100 hours into it and I am not done with the story yet. There is so many side things to do it is really worth the money.

This game is just ridiculously fun. Very similar to the original Zelda in which you're dropped in a world and you just have to figure out what is going on. Seemingly everything is an option for you to try. One of the best video games I have ever played.

This game is absolutely awesome!!!! Graphics, history, EVERYTHING is perfect i have a few hours playing it and is great!!!

After a subpar entry "Skyward Sword" Nintendo have answered our call and created an open world Zelda that feel so new and exciting. The game is a technical marvel. Who expected they could do this on Wii U hardware. I really can't say enough. MUST PLAY.

I have been a fan of Zelda since I first played as a child in the 1980's. I have not been able to play too much as I am a 35 year old adult, but this game has a different Zelda vibe to it. I get vibes of Ocarina of Time as well as an RPG vibe. I hear good feedback from other reviews of this game and I can say from playing for the first two hours that it is quit enjoyable. I look forward to more gameplay and to dwell deeper into the story of this installment of Zelda. I was once a very avid gamer and I have good expectations from playing this game for little time I have. Big Thank You to Nintendo for never letting me down when it comes to great titles like this!

This game is great in every way. It is challenging, fun, and beautifully made. The story has many twists and turns, with great characters and side missions and the gameplay varies enough to keep it from feeling stale. Absolute must have video game.
