    This is IMO one of the best games to come out in the last 30 years. The scope of this game is insane. The gameplay is so much fun. The exploration is so HUGE. If you love adventure and love zelda this game is a must.

    I haven’t played Zelda since the GBA days. The world is huge, and there is tons to explore in BOTW. Looks stunning on the switch and the mechanics are smooth. This is the BEST first game to get on your new switch.

    The Legend of Zelda returns to its roots with this highly engaging open world game where exploration is very rewarding and fun. This is a great step for the franchise in general, and a contender for the best Zelda game Nintendo has made.

    Honestly wouldn't even know how to go about writing a review. This game lets you go anywhere and do anything. If you have an idea of what to do, you do it. I constantly surprise myself at what I'm able to do, even 70 hours into the game.

    This game is so addictive. I cant stop playing if i say I'm only going to play for an Hour or 2. I end up playing 8 to 10 instead. Theres too much to explore i always get distracted when I'm heading to the main mission. I love this game.

    After being leery of being let-down by another Zelda game, I picked this one up reluctantly. Twilight Princess did not hold my attention, nor did Wind Waker. Breath of the Wild, however, has not only grabbed my attention, it's holding strong to it. I am on a mission to collect as many collectibles as I can this time around, which is a departure from the norm, where I struggle just to finish the main campaign. The expansiveness of this game is awe inspiring. I cannot put this game down. So far, I'd rank this among my top favorite Zelda games of all time, which include Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past. Absolutely would recommend this game.

    I am still playing this game and so far all I can say it is as entertaining as you can spect from one of the iconic games of nintendo. Excellent graphics convined with a great open world map, lots of secrets yet to discover, I love it.

    Finally, Nintendo is putting some time into a story that reminds of the nostalgic Zelda. This quite possibly could be the best of the series! 100's of hours of exploring and game play! this is a must have if you will invest in a Switch

    This game represents the highpoint of the Zelda series. The open-world setting rewards exploration and the puzzles are logical and present just the right amount of challenge. Fantastic fun!

    There are few games that ever come out that are as fun as this game can be. Just the promise of seeing something and walking there without needing anything else like other games will is impressive and it's own journey along with reward.

    This game was amazing! So much depth and exploration, and a great story as well. This game is what you make of it, I logged hundreds of hours and still haven't gotten bored with it! The shrines and huge map keep things fresh.

    This game beat every expectation I had for both Zelda games and the nintendo switch itself. The graphics are spectacular and you truly can go anywhere on the map. It feels weird playing a game of this quality on the go. 100% should buy.

    I knew I had to get a switch when I saw this game coming out. The graphics are good, puzzles are generally pretty easy but not boring. Loved open world exploring but glad there was fast travel using unlocked shrines.

    This is the best Zelda game ever! For the Zelda fans out there, this game does complete the story in a long time! For no. Zelda fans, you will securely become one once you start playing it. It's long for sure but fun none the less!

    Great Game, Not Quite Zelda

    Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent game! Absolutely you should buy it right now! Unfortunately, to me it doesn't feel like a Zelda game. There is very little music, doesn't seem to be any item that's critical to the game (such as the ocarina, Wind Waker, etc.,). It's almost too non-linear, when you really do need some direction if you don't plan to die all the time. I love many of the elements in the game such as the cooking aspect, the upgradable armor, etc., but breaking weapons and having limited slots for them is annoying. There should be a way to store more than three of each somewhere as this means dropping great weapons all the time to make room for new ones. Minor gripes, this game is totally worth the $60. I would definitely use a guide, it's too easy to get lost exploring.

    This game is a must have for the Switch. There is so much to do. Developers were told to break form the traditional Zelda formula, while they did do that, this still feels very much like a Zelda game and there are a lot of game play elements that longtime fans of the series will enjoy. I wasn't thrilled when I first heard about weapons that degrade with usage; however, the weapon system works well enough. The only area where the game utterly fails is puzzles that require motion controls. The motion controls are very difficult to use and cannot be turned off for puzzles. (At least motion controls can be turned off for aiming with the bow.)

    This is hands down one of the best games I've ever played in my life. So much intricate detail. Story line. No plot holes I can think of. Open world at it's best. Well deserved game of the year award! Recommend to everyone.

    I beat the Witcher 3 and wanted to play another game to fill the hole it left in my life. I had never played a Zelda game, but oh man this was a great ride. It's confusing to figure out how this world works in the beginning, but by the time you've completed all the shrines, other games just don't compare. The freedom of this game is astounding, see that rock? you can climb it. just so much you can do that other games don't let you. I started playing Horizon Zero Dawn after this, and got frustrated that I couldn't do a ton of things Link could. Worth a play for sure. My only gripe is I don't want to beat it because then it'll be over.
