Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Zelda game is the biggest in the franchise. By biggest, I mean Hyrule is massive compared to the other games in the series. There are so many things to do in the game that you'll be side tracked on just exploring. I've climbed mountains for almost the majority of the game looking for shrines, koroks, and secrets. You do have the option of riding a horse as well. I do have a couple issues with the game. This game has a durability system >.>. Some of the weapons break way too easily including the really good weapons. It just sucks having to find an amazing weapon, only for it to break after five or six hits. A certain type of sword also breaks (not permanently) as well. It does take some getting used to but after a while I didn't mind it as much. Now for the weather system. The rain, oh my god, the rain. Make. It. Stop. It rains more often than the cash thrown on a stripper. Nintendo. Please patch. There were a few times when the fps dropped but for the majority of the game it was 20-30 fps. Wished it was 60 constant but what can you do. While these issues may seem problematic, it didn't detract me from immensely enjoying it. (Probably helped that I'm a fan of the series and I was playing AssCreed before it, which wasn't very exciting.) I would rate it a 4.5/5 and is currently my GOTY.

I have never played a Zelda game before but WOW. This really set the bar high, I have spent countless hours just exploring the world, fighting monsters, catching horses, finding shrines, and looking for korok seeds. Just when you thought you have combed through every surface, you always discover something new.

I have always been a Nintendo fan, since the days of Super Mario 64. Most Nintendo franchises have caught my interest, but I never gave Zelda a try until now. This is a great game with a compelling story, and gameplay that is intuitive and often physics-based which feels fresh and exciting.

The Nintendo Switch brought me back to the Nintendo brand for the first time since the Nintendo 64 and Zelda was the reason why. It evokes feelings of ocarina of time but manages to be fresh and new. Lots of extra items and a bit of different strategy but true to the core of the game.

One of the best Zelda games in the series. I have played them all and this gives you hours of play time in exploration and evil doer bashing. I did miss the temples that are prominent in every other Zelda game but after having it for a while I still am finding secrets and exploring areas I have not reached. Great for wasting time while traveling.

One of the best Switch Games in the Library. The best Open World, Immersive games ever made. Good for Zelda fans and people that never even heard of Zelda. The story is a brand new story that does not tie into other games. Feel free to play this game without any spoilers.

This is easily one of the best switch games i have ever played if you are a zelda fan this is a must have!

Expansive, addicting game. The best Zelda ever, and i love Ocarina of Time. I have spent about 20 hours playing the game thus far, and am not even 1/10 of the way into the game. Any Zelda fan or open world adventure fan will love this game. Beware: wives/girlfriends, this may cause your husband/boyfriend to be distracted for quite some time, but he will be HAPPY!!!

An amazing gamestory couple with an equally amazing game mechanics. As with the name, you need to explore most of the map as well as the abilities you have. A downside for this game (at least for me) is that I haven't seen Link taking!!!!

This is a game with ton's of content to keep you going. Nintendo has put fourth a great game. I didn't know too much about it other than hearing great things about it, and I was absolutely blown away in the first hour of playing it. This is hands down, one of the best games I have ever played. It is beautiful, complex, and breathtakingly enormous.

Excellent game! Large open world, with lots of bosses and exploring for better weapons. Graphically the game looks really good.

This is an amazing game. It exceeded my expectations even when I was hyped for it months in advance. I am an avid zelda fan and enjoyed how different and open world BOTW was. My only regret is finishing the game. I put over 160 hours into the game and still play here and there. I see huge replay value in this game. I will be keeping it for a long time!

This game is truly amazing and by far the best installment out of the entire series! The story is engaging, the graphics and gameplay are top notch with plenty to do to keep you playing for months on end. If you’re on the fence about buying a Nintendo Switch, you could buy it simply for this game alone and never be disappointed.

From the beautiful open world, to the story and sound track, Nintendo held nothing back for this game. Definitely recommend for any switch owner for their library, and it deserves all of the scores and praise it's been getting. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to my game.

BotW offers a huge, dynamic open world to explore, with many things to do and discover. The shrines and temples offer lots of puzzles to solve, and while the game starts off very challenging as you progress it can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. And the characters/story while a little on the lean side got me emotionally invested nonetheless.

Growing up as a child, Zelda was on of the first games that I ever played all the way through and beat. Since then, the Zelda series has always brought adventure into the game. If you're a huge fan of Zelda, you need to grab this game. New to the Zelda series? You won't regret your purchase. Rich story, and awesome game play.

I have only played it for about 5-10% of its size. In my very limited gaming experience, my favorite type of game used to be combat racing. Zelda (Breath of the Wild) may have changed that for me. I love the technical side of it. The sound makes me feel like I am there, in nature. The only part that I don't like about it (and it's not Zelda in particular, but these types of games) is the complexity of things that you acquire, the large number items that you can have in your inventory and use to cook, for example. I repeat that my video-gaming experience is limited, but this title has redefined my expectations of what is possible in terms of beauty, art, direction, and technics, especially on such modest hardware as the switch. I purchased the game and tried it because of hearing people about the experience of it being special, and it did deliver; now Zelda holds a special place in my heart too!

Strong and emotional storytelling. Beautiful open world. Enjoyable combat system. Lots of detailed exploration. I can’t say enough good things about this fantastic game. Highly recommended for anyone who loves open world exploration and third person action/adventure. Worth every cent.

A fun and challenging game. A game of exploration

Runs at a smooth 60fps on Switch 2 with no noticeable slow down in over 30hours of play time Well worth the Switch 2 upgrade
