Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is unbelievable. Looks great, feels great, and there is a ton of things to do. Every time I play it, i get surprised by something else I can do or something I find. The sheer size of the world and the detail in it is just unbelievable to me. I don't play a lot of video games, but I honestly get very excited for every chance I have to play this game. I never want to put it down. I now understand why everyone said "If you own a Switch, you need to get Breath of the Wild."

Botw shakes up the linear Zelda experience by introducing a massive open world which you are free to complete objectives any way you want. The way you want. There's no hand holding in this game. You are free to roam and discover secrets at your own leisure with no restraints. I've sank easily over 200 hrs into this game and it's by far my favorite Zelda game...if not overall videogame! Ever. A must play for every switch owner. A definitive system seller!

A good mix of adventure, story, exploration, combat, and puzzles. Very fun and charming game!

You can read this review or you can google the massive number of online reviews. This is one of THE best zelda games in a while, although the titles in between have been good. This title is clearly why you want a switch. It's a deep game; rich in story and gameplay. I highly recommending the Pro Controller when playing this zelda game. It will take away many frustrating issues with the joy-cons.

One of the best games I played recently. This game offers open world exploration like none before. I have been playing this game for 3 months and I am still discovering new mechanics and pleasantly surprising gameplay elements.

I had my reservations going into this game since reviewers generally praise all of the Zelda games which I have found some of them to be chore. This game got a TON of glowing reviews but I still remained skeptical. With that said, this game is AMAZING. It shattered all my expectations and has taken over as my favorite Zelda game, possibly favorite game of all time. The sense of exploration is wonderful and cannot be put into words. This is something to be experienced.

This is a straight up fantastic game. The story line feels new and there are plenty of quests and side quests to keep you occupied indefinitely (or so it feels). The game play is rooted in reality (such as weapons breaking, abilities affected by weather, having to build trust with your horse, etc) which makes for a more challenging and thought provoking experience. Add to that the simply beautiful graphics and you have a winning game.

I've been a Zelda fan since The Legend of Zelda, and Breath of the Wild is absolutely a contender for best in the series. It's blast to play, there is a ton to do and see. The visuals are breathtaking (you'll find yourself stopping and staring into the distance to appreciate how stunning the game is), and the open world style gives you hours of things to do. It's easy to get sidetracked from being sidetracked. I'm about 50 hours in and only about halfway through. This game is the real deal.

This is not your average Zelda game, and that is a high complement! When they say "open world" they MEAN it. I've been playing for over a week and I've still not uncovered half of the map. It's challenging, but not to the point of frustration. Playing on the Switch is truly how this is meant to be played bc of the motion control puzzles, but also the versatility. It looks amazing on the TV in full HD, and also great on the small screen. I can't recommend this game enough, it is fantastic.

This is definitely one of the better Zelda games released in some time. Pros -Open world sandbox feel -Beautiful graphics that really flesh out the world -Controls are easy to use and easy to learn -Easy to play on either TV mode or on the tablet -Game saves automatically and you can also manually save Cons -Weapons break in like 5 hits, very annoying and requires you to constantly gather weapons -Some of the monsters are a bit goofy looking, a little over the top.

Great video game,fantastic gameplay with an incredible story in a wonderful world

Absolutely love this new Zelda game! The graphics are great, it has a wonderfully smooth art style, and great characters. The only thing I don't like is the fact that weapons have durability factors, although it does lend it a sense of realism. People have expressed disappointment with the music, saying it isn't flowy, and that it isn't Zelda-y, but the music, especially the Hyrule Castle music as you climb it, fills me with emotion, and sounds full of purpose. I LOVE the music.

Nintendo was really smart to include this game at launch time. The graphics, gameplay and story are well done! It's awesome being able to take this game on the road! But to be honest, after playing for two and a half months I have lost interest in the game. The replay value is gone and the fact that the new game line up is so thin, I have stopped playing the Switch and I am considering selling it. They set the bar so high with this game that everything else looks boring and weak.

This is easily one of the best Zelda games of all time. The open world and freedom to do what you want to do can make this a truly unique experience for anyone playing it for the first time. The lack of true dungeons is made up by the story and how crazy in depth this game is.

My literal favorite game of all time. I’m sure you’ve heard dozens of people go on and on about this game by now, but it really is phenomenal. If you like open world games, this is the definitive open world game. We all know the switch is underpowered so if you have the opportunity to play this on pc, do it. Legally of course ;)

There are not enough words to describe the enormity or awesomeness of "Breath of the Wild". This game is a revelation. It shows an open-world that other games can learn from. There are so many times while playing that I just have to stop and stare in wonderment at the amazing vistas spread out before me, or I'll just be stunned by the unique things I was able to accomplish in the world or one of the shrines. This is a game that everyone should play. It's challenging, yet rewarding.

I have always liked the Legend of Zelda series, but ambivalent about open world games. Somehow, this mixture turned into something I truly loved. I never felt to overwhelmed with potential missions, and I always felt like I was doing something valuable when I'd wander off the beaten path. This game lived up to the hype for me, and made ever cent I spent on my Switch worthwhile.

Not since Ocarina of Time have I loved a Zelda game so much. There is so much to do, and such a beautiful landscape to explore. Nintendo put their magic touch into this game. I do loathe the weapon-braking, and weather effects can get quite annoying, but they don't detract from my love for this game. I've put 150 hours into and it and purchased the DLC. I've completed all quests, and I still turn it on and play around in the world just to visit and enjoy myself.

Amazing game-play. From shooting arrows floating in the sky to cutting grass and breaking pots (and much more), this game brought what I remembered from my childhood playing A Link to the Past and today's modern open world concept together beautifully. I've put over a hundred hours on it, beat the game, and still can't put it down. Can't wait for the DLC to come out later this year!

I've been a fan of Zelda for years, so my review could be a bit biased, but believe me when I say it takes a lot for any video game to contest with Nintendo's most famous entry into the Zelda franchise "Ocarina of Time". "Breathe of the Wild" not only contests with "Ocarina of Time", it builds upon what made "Ocarina of Time" great, and expands it immensely. The game is also incredibly moving at times, and the story is classic Zelda. This game gets my highest recommendation.
