Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best games I've ever played. I've played through it 4 different times now and bought it for friends as a gift. It's excellent.

As a casual zelda gamer, I always take all the perfect scores these titles seem to get with a grain of salt, there have been some times (windwaker, a link between worlds) where zelda games feel authentic and natural, this is one of these times. straying away from the usual zelda formula, serves this game just right. the open world is huge and there's lot to do, the physics are amazing, and the shrines can be fun and challenging. this game takes cues from Zelda itself, skyrim and even shadow of the colossus, what's more impressive, it makes it work in an amazing way. in a few words, this game deserves all the accolades it's been receiving, it may not be the best game of all time, but it sure comes close

Every Zelda game that came before BOTW now feels like they have been stepping stone for this installment. I don't want to spoil anything because I want you to expirence the game for yourself. I will say that the weapons breaking has been a moot point for players. In my opinion the system is designed to make you immerse yourself in combat. I approach battles in different ways. I sneak I use outside objects. This is the first Zelda game that doesn't feel like a sword and shield hack n slash. I know that sounds harsh but during my travels battling never became dull for me.

[Employee of bestbuy] Finally got around to playing botw. With totk right around the corner, I figured I should finally play this game and man was it good. I cant really put it into words how good it was, but its been a while since I've played such a great single player game. The overall mechanics and feel is so well crafted. The combat loop is fun and satisfying while exploring the world is exciting.

First off, this game is incredible. A huge open world to explore and do whatever you want and go wherever you want. Being able to play on the go and on the TV makes it even more enjoyable. I have put probably close to 100 hours into this and still haven't found everything. The negative on this is the dungeons. There aren't any. Instead of dungeons you are tasked to take back control of "devine beasts" which are basically dungeon replacements. Being an avid Zelda fan for years and years, this was kind of a disappointment. The story line is a little weak, but that is expected with an open world game. Just a couple negatives, but those in no way ruin the game. Still one of my favorites of all time.

Even if you're not a big Zelda fan, this is an amazing game in general. It's large open world experience allows for hours of fun and something new to explore around every corner. Great game for all ages.

All the accolades this game gets is well deserved. Lots of things to do, amazing story, and great combat has made this one of the best zelda games ever made!

This is probably the best Zelda game yet. It is truly open world and allows for the style of free play that every Zelda fan deserves. I'm probably gonna spend hundreds of hours in Hyrule this time through.

A free roaming, free climbing? I'm sold! The colors, story, interactions are very intuitive. The exploration and shrine based way of discovery is great! I've been enjoying it very much! I highly recommend!

Amazing game and perfect if you can only get one game for the switch this game will never be boring three years later and we’re still learning new things about it

Best game ever made! The first play through this game is an experience that can’t ever be recreated. The world is huge and oppressive especially at first. Then it opens up and constantly tugs at your curiosity. The puzzles are clever but more bite size than previous games in the series. But there are so many of them. The only thing that compares is the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom.

You can totally lose yourself in this game. Amazing open world, awesome puzzles... I have no idea how Nintendo's going to top this. It should be rated the best video game of the decade.

This was my first ever Switch game, and I was not disappointed! Open world game playing is so much fun. Plus, the graphics are beautiful! Definitely recommend!

One of the greatest games of all time. This is the game that brought me back to nintendo. Everyone need to have this in their collection.

This game changes how open-worlds work in big ways. I love that it's up to the player to place markers at interesting places and truly explore rather than being given a bunch of icons that point out what's important. It helps the world feel like a real place rather than a checklist. The shrines throughout the world are fun to handle and the rules the game sets stay consistent enough that you can successfully play around with them and solve numerous scenarios in various ways. It's a breath of fresh air in a stale style of game-making that I can't recommend enough.

THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE! Its been a week of playing this game so far and I am bewildered. The map is immense and I'm convinced you could spend a month playing without running out of things to do. The puzzles are challenging yet not impossible. The enemies are pretty intimidating but you could also run away if you're in a casual mood. You could spend so much time doing the most miniscule tasks. I spent an hour cooking different combos of food with meat and plants I foraged from around the map. Graphics, soundtrack, and game play are all A+ from me. Would definitely recommend

There is so much to do in this game. The story, graphics, gameplay are all superb. My only Qualm is that there aren't separate save files for multiple players. Hands down one of the best games ever.

The game looks and plays great. While the world isn't as open as they would lead you to believe, it does a good job of letting you explore the surrounding areas and play the game at your own pace.

Breath of the Wild is the best game I've played in a long time. The visuals are stunning, the fighting is clean and fun, and the story is interesting.

Very enjoyable and different kind of Zelda game. The open world can be challenging but figuring out how to survive and maneuver through the world can be very rewarding.
