If you have a switch and you don't have Breath of the Wild, you probably don't want your switch. This is the greatest game on that console and will be one of those games you will remember where you were when you started it, finished it, and all the stories you make for yourself in between

Genuinely one of my favorite Zelda titles of all time. There isn't much to talk about here. The graphics are great, the amount of freedom to simply explore and take in the scenery is liberating, and the characters are memorable.

I bought a switch for this game and I'm so glad I did. The open world design gives you hours and hours of fun. I never thought I'd play a Zelda that I'd enjoy as much as A Link to the Past or Ocarina, but this is right there with them.

This game took over my life. I'm over 100hrs in and the world is still exciting to explore.

I finally beat the game after 125+ hours. One of the best games, if not the best, I've played in my life. Great story line, combat, open world that you can explore, all objects to interact, etc. Can recommend this game to anyone, gamers or non-gamers, for a time they will enjoy very much.

Like Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild is an open world with lots of possibilities. The graphics are good. Would recommend this if you are a Legend of Zelda fan

Enough said. This is the best video game I've ever played. Hyrule is a beautiful place to escape to. The story is interesting and well-delivered. The difficulty level is just right to give you that feeling of accomplishment, unlike most games today that are just too easy. I can't recommend this enough.

Wish i would have picked up this game a long time ago. Heads up if you’re a parent. You’ll need to have your own profile cause your kids will take over the game and leave you in the dust. I play at night when they’re in bed ;)

A little bit different feeling of open world-ish game that Zelda usually is, but still a great entry. Reminds of Twilight Princess, at least first 5 hrs into. Has some issues with frame rate in certain situations when playing on a big screen. I use pro controller as I could not get used to joy cons.

Firs of all, I have never played a Zelda game in my life. This is tha first time. If you love the characters and what the world of Zelda has giving you, this is by no means a Masterpiece. It has hours and hours of play, and how the game is made is just masterful. However, if you just want a video game to entertain you and to pass a good playtime, Zelda sometimes doesn't give you that. You can spend minutes and minutes without doing almost nothing. The world sometimes feels empty, and also the fact that weapons break, make the fights less enjoyable to be honest. Depends what you are looking for this could be the game of your life or just a sometimes enjoyable experience.

I absolutely love this game, there is hours upon hours of gameplay and it’s just always fun. I haven’t put this game down since I got it lol. I would 100% recommend this game to anybody who likes legend of Zelda or wants a good fun single player game.

Nintendo hasn’t released a new entry into the Zelda franchise since the Wii. Sure they have put out remasters on the WiiU but finally a new game! This game is HUGE! An open world Zelda? Yes please!! A definite must have if you consider yourself a fan of the Zelda franchise.

Game was hard, real hard in the beginning but as you get used to it, it gets more fun. There’s so much gameplay time in it that it’s well worth it’s full price tag. Just need to get past the initial hurdles and it gets really fun.

a video game worth the money giving you at least 100 hours of game play or more! ive been up till 4am most nights playing, THIS IS WHAT VIDEO GAMES OF RPG SHOULD BE! LONG LONG LONG! yes zelda rocks but so far iam enjoying it. tho the controlls are a little messy. i may need to try the pro controller.

Fantastic game to start off with on the Switch. Definitely utilizes the entirety of the console. Really is a breath of fresh air to the Zelda series. High recommend if you like to spend a lot of time exploring and fully immersing yourself into the character, world, and stories you find along the way.

Breath of the Wild is a return to the open-world, go anywhere design that hasn't really been present in the series since Zelda for the NES. The world is HUGE and the vistas when you reach a tall mountain peak are incredible. Combat is fun and varied, and difficult enough that you are encouraged to use different abilities and equipment types. There's a full cooking and collecting system, ability upgrades, a compendium to fill out (like Pokemon Snap!), and tons and tons of shrines to conquer. The shrines are super fun and varied, and many offer multiple solutions to the puzzles. They reminded me very much of early Portal levels. Bosses are exciting and huge! Finding new equipment and locations is fun on its own. Overall, this is the most impressed I've been with a Zelda game since Ocarina of Time on the N64. Definitely worth the long wait between games. I can't wait to see Nintendo developers apply lessons learned here to their other franchises. I can easily see myself putting 100 hours or more into this one game.

This game was purchased as a gift. I was never a Nintendo-child. I grew up very solidly in the camp of Sega and the blue hedgehog. That said, one of my best friends made sure to introduce me to the Legend of Zelda series in my mid-20s. I was reluctant to jump in at first, but very quickly came to enjoy the simple pleasures to be found in exploring and adventuring within the land of Hyrule. Each game in the series provides a different take on a familiar story, allowing us to experience new and exciting discoveries amongst a backdrop of the familiar. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes this familiar formula and opens it up to heights never seen before in this series. Painstakingly hand crafting an open-world adventure, and borrowing many elements from its contemporaries, this title is able to become more than just the sum of its parts. It is a game that is sure to be talked about for years to come and has raised the bar by which future open world adventures will be judged.

I have grown up on the Zelda franchise, the first console I ever owned was the original NES, and the first game I played on it was the gold cartridge Legend of Zelda. Since then I have played every single Zelda game release so it was no brainer that I would be picking up this game. As a matter of fact I purchased the Nintendo Switch specifically to play this game. The game is amazing, graphics are very nice, not the best but absolutely nothing to sneeze at. Unlike previous Zelda games you do not have to complete temples in a specific order, and their isn't any real push or guidance other than some general instructions. I have been playing around 10 hours, and have spent much of that time exploring the enormous world. I have only completed the elephant divine beast, and I know I have much more to complete, but I am enjoying getting lost in this new world. As a side note, it is great to have this on the Switch and be able to play this on the go, and effortlessly transition between mobile gaming and home console gaming.

Came fast, works great! I would recommend that you get the physical copy while you can.

I love being able to bring such crisp clear zelda with me when I'm out and about, no more squinting at those nintendo ds screens! I haven't really played a Zelda game on console for awhile...twilight princess just didn't appeal to me. I love the windwaker like characters and wish they would go back to that animation since I find Nintendo is geared towards kids anyways. The game is fun to play and easy to maneuver...though I did spend 10 minutes trying to get the last apple down from a tree and couldn't until I took an axe to it and when I cooked some of the apples a lot of them got lost =( I still haven't finished the game yet as I do get motion sickness from it....but I get that from all the zelda games. I'm liking what I've played so far and can't believe how easily it goes from console to handheld!
