I bought this for our 9 year old son and he loves it. He has played through the game, in it's entirety, 2 times now. I have watched him playing it many times, and it really is a great game. Definitely a departure from other Zelda games of the past as this one is a more open world adventure. But, there is a reason why this game consistently rates as one of the best games around, on any system. As a dad, I like that there's nothing in the game that is overly violent or that I would consider inappropriate for kids. I would highly recommend this game. You really can't go wrong.

This by far is the best Zelda game ever! Very beautiful, open world game. There is plenty to do in this large world of Hyrule. Trust me, you're not wasting your money by getting this! (Just losing track of time...lol).

This game I have been waiting to play for a long time and it has not disappointed me at all one bit. The hours of gameplay and the open world is just phenomenal.

One of the best games I've played in a long while! The open world is amazing and the World of Zelda is beautiful and right on the nose with all other games in the franchise. One of the best Zelda games by far!

The story is amazing and there is tons to do, I get lost playing this game for hours on end. I really enjoy the fact that I continually find new things in the game.

This game is so unbelievably fantastic!! I was nervous with the completely open world but it's amazing. You can go ANYWHERE! And it's so beautiful and playing it on the Switch is so easy to control. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Game is amazing! Can't believe Nintendo pulled an open world like this off. Love playing it in handheld mode. The art style and graphics are amazing especially when you factor in that it's being ran on a small tablet.

Zelda is a great game, and Best Buy got it to my door on launch day. With less than 2 weeks since thevrelease, I've already put 60+ hours into it. If you like open world games, this Zelda game is well worth your time.

Breakable weapons is the only reason this game is not a 5 stars. There are awesome weapons in this game, but it sucks that it breaks after a few hits. I do understand some people might like this choice, but it would be nice if there was an option. Overall it is an amazing game, it looks much better than the Wii U version. Playing it with the Switch Pro Controller it is the best way to play .

I'm not usually a fan of single player games--I've tried to find a single player game that I really love, but for the most part, I play it for a few hours at most, and then move on to something else.
This game is different.
It's been roughly a week and a half since the game was released. In that time, I spent roughly 50 hours of that time playing Breath of the Wild, and I'm still not done. There's always something more to discover--whether it's a new shrine in an unexpected location, or a new mountain to climb, there's always something to do.
Theoretically, it's possible to beat the game in one sitting. Speed runners are already making sub-1 hour runs. And that's part of what makes the game so great--it's exactly what you want it to be.

This is one of the best games I've ever played, not just Zelda, any game! The world is fantastic and looks great. The stamina and climbing physics really add extra element to the game. I would highly recommend this.

This game is pretty awesome. I do think that all this “Greatest game ever” nonsense needs to stop though. I would say that it is the best of the Zelda series, it could possibly be the “game of this current console generation”, or even could be the game of the 2010 to 2020 decade.
I will say that I think it is a masterpiece. It offers an experience like no other. It has a wow and fun factor that needs to be played, rather than me telling you. LOZBOFW offers amazing gameplay, controls well, dynamic atmosphere, and smart combat and sneaking mechanics.
Even though the N. Switch isn’t a powerhouse, Nintendo found a way to make this game look gorgeous. This a game that just set the standard on which all open world adventure games will be judged.

First Zelda game in the last decade that doesn't feel like the developers were working from a checklist of things to include.
I highly recommended playing this.

This game was the very reason I bought my switch. It allows for many different play styles and the player can set their own pace and explore different areas on their own time. I've logged well over 300 hours into this game and the only other game that has beat that time is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I will say that Ganon is getting easier and easier to defeat, but I still enjoyed the music, the art, and the little quirky characters scattered throughout the land. This definitely held nostalgic elements of old zelda games, but still captured a great sense of wonder to be able to explore such a large area.

The game is truly amazing! Graphics are great, story line is good and it's fun. Some of the new game mechanics though make it much more difficult than previous Zelda games, and may be frustrating for younger gamers

This is my first time playing a Zelda game and I am love love loving it so far. The open world is beautiful, the fighting and gliding mechanics are stellar, and the puzzles are fun to solve in numerous ways!

I'm back as an Nintendo customer with the new Switch and Zelda. The open-world free roam play style is excellent. The controls are also great and the amount of things to do, fight, explore, and discover is fantastic.
