Customer Ratings & Reviews

Really great game, I got this game to get the Switch 2 edition because it was on sale, and so I got it, and the Switch 2 upgrade made the experience so much better. The Game looks really beautiful on both consoles though. This is an amazing game for beginners as well as it has really great tutorials for controls and gameplay. Worth it if you're thinking to buy Tears of the Kingdom as well.

**The only Spoilers in here are time to beat and how to use a skill they don't tell you outright (that you have access to from the start)** So I've finished the game after doing a large amount of shrine searching (taking about 90 hours), and this game still has me coming back for more. The guys over at Nintendo really made this Zelda title a work of art. It's not too handhold-ie and not too vague that you have no idea what is going on; however, do expect to die a little bit until you "get it" but even before you get it, it's not so punishing that the game can become un-fun (see: the Dark Souls series / From Software titles). It's a great game, and I'll be playing it for a while longer (especially after Hard Mode gets released in a few months). P.S. If you get the game, you can Shield Surf by holding ZL, then pressing jump at the same time, and while you're in the air press A. It took me a while to figure this out and isn't stated anywhere unless you do certain things, but it is a skill you have from the start of the game. Good luck, I wish I could forget it all and do it again fresh.

The visuals and the atmosphere are unparalleled. The open world approach frees it up from some of the constraints that have frustrated me in previous Zelda games. It's fun. It's not without its flaws, but those are tolerable. Just a great game.

All of the other reviews and recommendations of this game as a "must have" are correct. Great gameplay and fun on both console or a TV. Since you can't spend all your time getting bells to pay off Tom Nook (can you?) this is definitely one to add to your library.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a breath of fresh air in the midst of all the games I've played this past year. The world in-game is the largest, and by far, most beautiful I've ever had the opportunity to explore in my 25 years of gaming. Exploration in this game does not feel like a chore either. It just feels natural to see something of interest off in the distance and then spend the next hour or so making my way there, taking care of random enemies and finding hidden treasures and secrets along the way. One of the things I love most about this game is that you're not overwhelmed with music: it's carefully peppered in for choice areas in the game to really add to the ambiance. Character designs are just top notch as well. Purah and Prince Sidon are just a couple of my faves. If you're a Legend of Zelda fan and you either haven't played or currently playing this right now, you need to remedy that and pick this gem up immediately. If you've never played a LoZ game before in your life, prepare yourself for one of the best games you've ever played and play this game!

As a Zelda fan, I didnt believe things could top my experiences from Ocarina of Time, or Skyward Sword or even Twilight Princess. I am happy to report: Breath of the Wild is an absolute masterpiece. 1) Exploration. It is massive, it is open, it is dangerous, and it is beautiful. You really feel one against the world in this game. There is so much to see, and nowhere you cannot go! Link is all over the place! From horses to flying to swimming, the exploration is on point. 2) THE WEAPONS! This game totally got this right. From awesome ancient Tron-looking weapons, to flame and thunder blades, to simple clubs and boomerangs, the weapons are so much fun to get and find new ones. 3) It is perfect. The only faults arent even the games fault, its the processing power of the Switch's fault. 10/10 would play 100 times and enjoy it each time

VERY GREAT GRAPHICS. The game is open world concept and each activity is fun to do. There is also very great guides in game on how to do certain tasks such as cooking, gliding or gathering food.

Started playing this with 3 of my friends and we are all in different areas and took different paths. The open world allows this in the game. We have told each other how great the game is and are all for different reasons. Long story short, love it

I love open world games and this really was the game for me. Never played a Zelda game before in my life but if you know the base of the Zelda and Link story then you’ll be fine. The graphics aren’t modern but more artistic which makes the game even better.

Traditionally, I would say Zelda titles are overrated. A beloved series, it often gets points for the title alone. This is the first Zelda game I have played that I feel truly deserves the scores it's getting. The sense of exploration and the fun puzzles truly help make this one of the best games I've ever played.

The hype is real if you're into exploring and adventurous battles. I shouldn't be typing this. Go to other gaming sites and see for yourself. You'll be playing for days, weeks, maybe a month's worth before completing the game. Recommend getting the DLC. The summer's DLC is great to add more replay value.

A Zelda for a new age and a great expansion on their previous gameplay and exploration!

If you like explore a huge open world, this is defintely one you should play. Combat is a bit simplistic and there are some limitations to your abilities in terms of a stamina meter and weapon durablility but is overall defintely one of the greats

Simply one of the best video games I've ever played in my life. I actually purchased a Switch after 6 years just to play BOTW. This adventure challenges you to think outside the box and encourages experimentation in ways that few other games do. The graphics look beautiful and the world is massive, with secrets at every turn. You can stall the main story as long as you want as you explore. Combat is supremely fun with varied weapons at your disposal, including bombs, arrows, spears, swords and even environmental effects. Easy to spend hours upon hours on this beautiful game!

Game is great. Reviews had perfect scores across the board. Finally got my hands on it and it did not disappoint. Graphics are amazing and story is great and interesting! Definitely must have game! Especially if you are a fan of the Zelda series

This is one of the best Zelda games ever. If you have yet to play it and are a fan of the series, this is a must play. Definitely looking forward to the sequel. If you have never played a Zelda game before and are a fan of open world RPGs, you have to give this a try.

Excellent game that's as good as the classics. Although there is a story line, there's a wide open world to explore and conquer. Gameplay controls are solid. There are challenging puzzles and the combat is not that hard for novices. Great game!

One of the best games I have ever played. It is exciting and allows for so much freedom in gameplay with a beautiful setting and story. It is quick to pick up, challenging enough to keep you on your toes, and an overall joy to play.

Loving how many different ways there are to play this game. You're rewarded well for using all your abilities, and every item you pick up has a use...cooking, upgrading gear, quests... it's great fun, too. Loving the beautiful art and story

This is unlike any zelda game I've ever played but that's not a bad thing. I'm not a fan of open world games, yet this game does something that hooks me entirely. I enjoyed every gameplay element in this game from the cooking to the fights even to the weather elements that affect the way you can traverse across the map. You can almost immediately go anywhere right away giving you freedom to make your own story. This is a long game from what I can tell. I'm over 40 hours in and haven't even uncovered a third of the map. If you don't enjoy games that don't give you much direction this might not be for you. There's a lot of experimenting to learn different things and ways to progress in the game. I may be a little biased because I've played and enjoyed nearly every zelda game. I've only not played skyward sword.
