I purchased the Switch Digital Download version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I prefer to have all of my games downloaded onto a microSD card rather than needing to purchase the game cartridge and needing to carry that around with this portable system/home console hybrid. I could have bought the digital download via Nintendo's eShop, but this way I receive rewards points by purchasing it trough Best Buy. The process is simple: after you purchase the digital version, Best Buy e-mails you with a 16-digit code, which is what you input into the Switch eShop under the "Enter Code" option. The game downloads immediately once you have successfully entered the code. It is a 13+ GB download, so depending on your internet connection, it will take awhile, but the game is worth it! I've only had the game for a day, but I can say this game is a must have, especially for Zelda fans! It is a well crafted game, the mechanics work well, and now you can take an HD Zelda title on the go! The world is huge, so I know it will take me quite a while to explore everything!

Not joking when I say this may be one of the best games of all time. Great game for new and old Zelda fans. The open world is amazing and the story is fantastic. 10/10 game and has a ton of stuff to stick your teeth in.

The Zelda franchise is my favorite. I love the wide open nature of the game, roaming from region to region, undertaking quests, and side quests, fighting diverse monsters, puzzling over strategies to achieve your goals. Graphics are great, Link is better than ever. Endless fun.

Probably the best video game I have played in a long time! Love all the Zelda games and this one really gathers everything in about the series - so much to do and and explore and challenging at the same time with the puzzles and gameplay.

This is the best zelda game by far. The open world is huge and you can pretty much do anything. If you want to climb that mountain you can, if you want to cook you can. The weapons now has durability and if you use it too much it will break. Plus the switch is a amazing console, I can play zelda wherever I go.

This is really one of the greatest Zelda games ever. The open world is huge and gives you lots of challenges. You'll probably be spending months, even years playing this game. The joy-cons positioning really helps make the controls in the game fluent and easy to use. This is a must for any fan of Nintendo.

Forget everything you know about about Zelda games. Okay, maybe not everything. You still have your dungeons, familiar enemies, horseback riding, but it's now in a rich open world for you to explore at your leisure. You have a crafting system as well as breakable weapons and shields (for better or for worse).

This is a great open world Zelda game that I have spent over a hundred hours on. I could get lost in the game just from exploring the beautiful environments and secrets that are hidden within the lush world of Hyrule. Can't wait for the sequel to come out!

The game takes place in a world that is bigger than any video game I have ever seen, the puzzles are challenging, and the graphics are very detailed. My only gripe is that many of the battles are way too difficult for a casual gamer. To finish this game you will need a lot of patience and trigger skills.

The depth of this game is staggering! This has the feel of Zelda's of yore, but instead of one or two weapons, there are HUNDREDS. The control mechanism is easy to pickup and the puzzles are different. Just started playing and already I can see why everyone liked this game! LINK CAN FINALLY JUMP!

In my opinion, the most satisfying Zelda game to date. Combines all the usual excellent features of Zelda with rpg elements and a massive open world. It's Zelda meets Skyrim meets Fable with a vaguely Dark Souls 3-esque feel at times. Beautifully done, with so much to do, solve, climb, conquer and discover.

This is an amazing game. If you love the Zelda series this game will exceed your expectations. I love how they have added hunting for food and cooking how you replenish hearts. It has great puzzles and an exciting story line. You will not be disappointed.

Great game. The open world is extremely nice and the story is great too. Combat system feels smooth as well.

I probably have somewhere around 20 or 30 hours in this game, but I have barely scratched the surface of the story. There is so much to explore and experience that it is easy to get lost in your own rabbit hole rather than the story set out for you. Luckily, the game still shines when you're just exploring.

Going into this game, I had heard that BotW was a game changer. To be perfectly honest, Zelda was in need of something refreshing because every console Zelda game has followed the exact same structure as Link to the Past. Not that it's a bad game to build a basis off of, but the tried and tried to formula was getting a bit stale. My first Zelda game was AoL and while many don't consider it a good Zelda game, I thought it was great because of what I learned after playing the original, is that it's just you with your sword, shield and your willingness to explore. The more I put into it, the more I got out of it. I get that same sense out of this game that I did out of those original games. There is no hand holding, very little map to look at, it's just you and your willingness to explore. If you are a long time Zelda fan and have not tried this game yet, you should because it will bring back so many memories of those originals that you will lose yourself in it. Highly recommended!

My first experience playing Zelda was on the Nintendo 64 with Ocarina of time. For any real Zelda fan this is a must buy. For any adventure game fan this is also a must buy. Breath of the Wild is one of those very few games in the past couple of years that has really tried to innovate it's games design and in doing so created a very fun and enjoyable game that tells a very fresh tale about Link in a vast open world game. This is a living and breathing world you explore battling a large number of interesting enemies and picking up upgrades for Link aswell as new weapons to keep the combat interesting. The game alone is stunning and for a console that is able to be played in handheld mode your going to be putting ALOT of hours in to this one. Do yourself a favour and pick up the absolute marvel of an experience you will not be disappointed.

Pros: - Hundreds of hours of gameplay - Classic Zelda feel, but completely unlike any previous Zelda game - Can go fight Ganon from the start - Portable, console-quality game - Countless hours perfecting the perfect recipes Cons: - Breakable weapons A must buy for any Nintendo Switch owner!

Great game, have spent hours on it, lots of stuff to do and the story is great. This game is just beautiful, and would recommend it to anyone.

Very challenging, BUT I absolutely love the fact it puts my mind to work! Getting to explore mountains, oceans, and awesome forests. The adventure is amazing and they did a great job! It's a much more challenge with the fact every weapon breaks, hopefully I can find a weapon that I can keep for longer.

This was my introduction to Zelda game and it is awesome! There is so much to explore and you are able to do it at any pace you like. It is incredibly fun and looks great on the both the handheld and the TV. If you own a Nintendo Switch, this is a must-buy! Another contender for Game of the Year!
