Customer Ratings & Reviews

The apparent love of the craft and attention to detail in this game speaks for itself. The only knock on this game is that amount of stuff to do is actually ridiculous, but a lot of the completionist checklist stuff is optional. Much of the story and gameplay feel relatively standard, but something about how it's all put together makes this game a lot more interesting to me thank other open world games like far cry and horizon zero dawn. Expect future open world games to borrow from this title liberally.

I was skeptical when critics started reviewing the game and it was getting perfect scores. I am giving you my opinion on this game as a portable game because that is the only way I play my Switch. This game is fun, great art style and possibly one of the best handheld games I've played besides Pokémon silver. My only criticism was the durability of the weapons but I don't mind it anymore because you always pick up new weapons so scarcity is not an issue. Controls take some getting use to but not a deal breaker.

The scope of the game is massive and the world that has been built is really incredible. The amount to do is endless and the story part of the game is challenging but fun.

The best game I've ever played. I'm 36 years old. I have had nearly every game system ever sold to the public, including the TurboGrafx 16 and Atari Jaguar, so I'm pretty confident that I've played a fair amount of games and I can honestly say the breath of the wild is the best game I've ever played. I have nearly 240 hours into the game now and I'm about 85% complete. This game fills every gap that Minecraft left and it's open world survival experience. I am amazed at how much fun I have had playing this game.

Pick up Breath of the Wild and join the growing community of adventures in this award winning title!

I own many games on the PS4, but this year I decided to get the Nintendo Switch. From all the recommendations across the internet, I decided to buy Breath of the Wild. This is my first Zelda game, and it did not disappoint. The game is a huge open world experience, with a multiple ways to play. From solving puzzles in the Shrines, to hunting chicken/boar, to farming goons for weapons, and use bombs to fish: there is always something for you to do. This isn't a game for kids, as it requires some thinking, but can be a great present for teens and up who own a Switch. Definitely recommend.

Full of mystery and wonder. This game grabs your attention right away with the story of link and the treacherous Calamity Ganon. Embark on a journey of epic proportions as Link and his task to learn about his past and save the princess Zelda.This game is pretty fantastic. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is really fun. It’s one of the only games I have played that throws you in with no reference on how to fight but once you learn there are quite a lot of possibilities for different combinations for moves! Try this game out it’s amazing!

I've been a fan of the 'Zelda' games since the NES. I played the original game at a neighbor's house before I got my very own NES as a kid, and was immediately hooked. I've loved every game, and over the years, have definitely found myself more of a fan of the 'Ocarina of Time'-styled games in the series. This game takes hints and cues from all of the games in many ways, and nods to some of the lesser storylines in previous efforts. It's HUGE, a lot of fun, and can keep you busy for many hours. If you've ever played a Zelda game - and liked it - just buy this. Don't even think twice about it. It's a must-own!

I have fallen in love with so many aspects of this game so far. We have been Zelda fans forever and in my opinion this is the best one yet. I like the open world environment where I don't have to follow the storyline. I really like the subtle bits of humor and attention to detail. My only frustrated point is the weak weapon system. Weapons break too quickly and not enough slots for weapons. The real problem is I may have to get a second Switch so my wife and I don't have to fight over who gets to play.

I never thought I'd end up being so interested in geography, but in this game, every tree, every river, every mountain interests me. Unlike a standard game where there's one linear path to defeat the big bad, there is no linear path in this game (other than the very beginning). That said, I spent four hours just picking apples from trees. Then another two hours chopping wood. Then I realized there was a bad guy I had to beat and decided I'd have to cook my meals some other time. If you're into the open-ended exploration do whatever you want, this game is for you. TLDR; Game good. Waste lots of time picking apples.

This is the first Zelda game I have played and now want to explore all the history and the story behind the game. This game is filled with cool game design elements, awesome puzzles and brilliant combat mechanics. The open world and non-linear nature of the story does not put pressure on the player to do any specific task. Also, the game is filled with easter eggs from previous Zelda games. You can truly spend more than 100 hours in this game and still have some missions to complete or some items to find.

Good games are popular at the time they're released, but then the hype dies in about a month. Great games last longer because of better story or more online options to let people interact, but in about a year once again it's hype dies down and is only remembered by a small crowd. The best games never lose their replayability and last for generations as amazing games. THIS is an AMAZING GAME! Enough to give skyrim a run for its money, and then some! Nintendo, kudos to you. I was worried about your future, but based on this game combined with the great console the switch is, you have turned your luck around. Bravo!

This game really is amazing. I love the freedom to approach the quests as I choose. Controls are great, visuals are impressive

I have really enjoyed the time I have logged so far in the game. It was my main reason for purchasing a Switch (That and the rumor of a Pokemon Port) I have played most all of the Zelda games to date and this reminds me of all my fantastic Hyrule adventures. I have already explored what seems like a massive area and a lot of quests and side quests and I feel like I have only scratched the surface. Enjoyable and smooth gameplay, lots of things to discover and try, and a fantastic open world experience so far. Being able to switch play from the TV to the tablet has proven to something I do far more than I thought I would.

Wow! This is one of the best games I have ever played. I've owned nearly every Legend of Zelda game made. I am very much a fan of the games, lore and characters. This game combines the love of the LoZ storytelling and the open world of Skyrim/Fallout to create a game like no other. There are so many things to do. I got this game at launch and I have barely scratched the surface of the main story. I've been too busy getting distracted, finding treasures, and doing side quests. Highly recommend this.

Anything you think of, there is a way to do it in this game. The open world amplifies the enjoyment of exploration previous zeldas offered to an entirely new level. The graphics are beautiful, the physics fit in very well with the world, the enemies are fun and the story is fantastic. How the developers went about using dungeons in this game is creative and unique, with the smaller rooms of a typical dungeon being scattered across 120 shrines, and pivotal elements to the story being used as the main dungeons. Im continuously blown away by this game every time I play it. Do yourself a favor and pick it up if you haven't.

Love this game. Great story easy game play. Amazing game saga for new to the story or life long followers

Awesome!! I played it all day. Hard to stop once you get started.

Best open world game made yet, the polish is great, plays amazingly well in tablet and TV mode (with some fps drops on tv but only in certain areas). Nintendo's own clever spin in what is otherwise a saturated genre (open world action adventure) that knows when to be goofy and serious. Its very open to many people's play styles but I do warn any 100%ers that its gonna be tedious to uncover all the collectables/heart&stamina containers without any guides. I've put over 75 hours into this game so far and am only 75% done with the main story/easy to access shrines. Haven't even gone to Hyrule Castle yet!

I have been waiting for years to play this game and after all of that time it still did not disappoint! This is fun to play. Completely new but also nostalgicly familiar. It's set up in a way that's good for those who have spent lots of time with these games or even for beginners like my boyfriend who have never played before! You can get lost exploring, cooking, creating, etc. around the world and sometimes completely forgetting about the main quests. I would recommend this game to anyone!
