Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is huge, it changes everything that you ever knew about Zelda, in a good way. The first game to break from the stale formula and lets you play the game how you want to.

Wonderful open-world fun. An action RPG with a ton of puzzles to solve, beasts to fight, towns to visit, NPCs to talk to, dishes to cook, quests to do and one princess to save. Great adventure and fun for all ages.

If you have a switch, you should get this game. Not because it's great, but because it's average and still offers hundreds of hours of play time. The negative reviews are all correct, and so are the positive reivews. The actual reality is somewhere in the middle. It has a big beautiful world, but many areas are just empty other than trees and grass. Most of the game seems to focus more on basic survival like gathering supplies and cooking, rather than working towards a goal. It may as well have been called Legend of Zelda: woodland survival. Link is hopelessly outmatched and really needs to work hard to live in this world. The best way to try and make the game more playable would be to collect 13 heart containers and go straight for the master sword so you won't have to worry about weapon breakage every minute (although the sword still needs to recharge between uses). Then start working on adding stamina so you can swim and climb mountains. The old style of Zelda involved many dungeons that would grant you powerful new weapons, but in this game there isn't much in the way of that. Since Link is so weak most of the time, this game really requires you to use creative thinking and interaction with the environment to beat enemies and puzzles, rather than charging in with an old bow or sword that will break after a few swings. It is the total opposite of past games and something you need to get used to. It is still a good overall game that can be enjoyed if you look past its many flaws and work with the game dynamics that are given. If you try and play it as a traditional Zelda game, you will be disappointed. Just wander around and have fun finding mysteries and enjoying the scenery. It has some amazing unique graphics and scenes you will enjoy. This is a whole new game style and takes some getting used to, but satisfying if you want it to be. This is the first game where I feel like a strategy guide is mandatory, otherwise you could waste huge amounts of time searching for areas and items on your own. Perhaps the biggest achievement (and downfall) of the game is that they made it far too realistic. Most of what happens is what you would expect in real life. Rain puts out fires and makes rock slippery, lighting strikes are dangerous, fire can burn things, and weapons can break. Add to this the stamina wheel where Link gets tired after a short run, and it leaves you wondering if they added too much realism in what is supposed to still be a video game.

By far one of the best Zelda games to date. The world is huge and there is so much to explore if you don’t want to go straight into the story. Gameplay is smooth and the story itself is great

Best Nintendo Switch game ever. Perfect gameplay, immersive story, graphics style is perfect for the switch. Everything is perfect and as intended.

I liked how open world the game is an how visual the graphics are in the game.

Other than being a huge Nintendo/Zelda fan, this is just about the best open world type Zelda, think GTA! Hopefully, this will be the type of software to keep the Switch alive and around!

Fans waited years for this game and boy did it deliver it. This game isn’t like your traditional Zelda game, but rather goes all the way back to the Original Zelda on the NES by putting the adventure into the players hands by dropping you into the world and just letting you go for it. If you want to go fight Ganon right away, you can! This game doesn’t have traditional dungeons like it’s predecessors, but instead has 4 large Divine Beasts and Hyrule Castle which act as this games dungeons. The world is also littered with shrines that can offer puzzle solving or combat challenges. This game is very large and has lots of things to do. Just don’t go into it expecting it to be like just another Zelda game and you will have a blast. Made even better since you can take it on the go!

I bought the game after I saw my nephews playing it. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is challenging, which is refreshing. New monsters, new story, having a blast playing the game.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a great game. It is one of the games that you need to buy if you're buying a switch or have one. It is a great time killers with exploration, battles, and puzzles.

The world in Zelda is absolutely huge and it looks gorgeous. Fighting bad guys via combat is pretty difficult though, it seems like the difficulty is higher in this game versus the other Zelda games

Found the breath of the wild, game of the year 2017.should be the first and only game that you buy as soon as you get your switch. He has comedy, care, adventure, on an open world. The graphics are amazing at handheld and on your TV .

It's a really great game! You never run out of things to do on it. It's expansive and challenging. The fighting system is very entertaining and I never want to run away from a battle.

The open world mechanic os the game is amazing. In addition, this game offers so many different mechanics that offers you a wide variety of play style. If you get a Nintendo switch, then you must get this game!

It’s a fantastic game. Nintendo took their time to release it because they wanted to get it right. Well, they did! No wonder it’s still so expensive almost 5 years later (bought it 49.99$). The storyline is heartfelt and true to the legend. The fighting is engaging and easy to get into the groove of. The art and scenery is breathtaking. The visuals are phenomenal. The to-do list is endless. Best of all, it’s child friendly! My four year old loves to run around in fields and chase the wild life. She also loves to jump in muck water because Link makes funny noises when he drowns and it makes her laugh. I’m really glad I got it.

Graphics are beautiful. The game is open world and even after the main story, there are a ton of side quests, massive world to explore, and many items to collect. Well worth the money. Got the Nintendo Switch just to play this game on the go.

Haven't played a Zelda game since N64 / Gansvube days and this new Zelda is a breath of fresh air for this old gamer. Haven't felt this engaged ins game since 200+ hours of Skyrim. Not even the new Final Fantasy XV could fill that void of another great adventure. Everything I loved about Skyrim is out into this Breath of The Wild and enough to hold me over until Skyrim is realeased for the Switch. Numerous enemies, catching story, ingredient collecting, map that takes forever to explore, horseback riding, countless armor and weapons, and the nostalgic puzzle dungeons now known as Shrines. Zelda Breath of the Wild is MUST OWN for any Switch owner.

I am blown away with this game. The graphics are great, the story is great and humorous. Growing up playing Zelda on n64, I had to have this. The world in the game is huge with a lot of stuff to do including challenging puzzles at time.

I love this game! The open world shines because it encourages you to use all of the items you find, and doesn't expect you to solve everything with one specific solution. Your creativity is the limit!

Been a Zelda fan since I was a kid and I was insanely excited for this game! It has been breathtakingly perfect so far! Gameplay is fresh and exciting, great story, beautiful graphics and characters, and just all around fun! Get this game!!!
