Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the engaging gameplay, expansive open world, and compelling story of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer's Edition." Many appreciate the game's vast content and exploration opportunities, along with the included map and guide. However, some players found the difficulty challenging, and the weapon durability system frustrating. The price point and additional content of the Explorer's Edition were also frequently praised.

    The is one of my favorite games on the switch. Make sure you follow the Zelda group on the switch feed. They provide some cool free content.

    So, bought this for my son and he's put about 30 hours into it in 3 weeks of which, I've watched probably 10-15. It's his fav game on the Switch but he's never really played a WRPG game (action rpg or otherwise) so while it's a good recommendation, I don't think it's the be all end all of open world/action RPG games. I've played around 6 hours myself and I just don't like the weapon degradation system (if a weapon degrades, I should be able to repair it with a like weapon). The guardian enemies and several bosses are beyond annoying with 1 hit kill ability but more hearts/better armor may fix some of that. The exploration and shrines are fine but they seem to be a bit on the easy side (i.e. easier than TR tombs or AssCreed puzzle rooms so far but they may amp up a bit). I like all of the concepts and they seem to come together enough for a cohesive game experience but overall just feel a bit "meh" about it....possibly because I've been playing open world RPGs for several years (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Witcher 3, etc.). I might change my tune after playing a bit more. So far it's very good, don't get me wrong and I find it much better than the Wind Waker (the only other Zelda game I've played recently).

    Definitely a must buy for the Nintendo Switch. After the initial hour of gameplay, it becomes an open world game and its fun exploring.

    Nintendo hit it out of the park with this one. This game had an incredibly gorgeous open wold with tons of secrets to discover.

    This is a step forward for the Zelda franchise. Best Buy had it ready to go when I showed up. Simple, and I'm loving the game.
