Customer Ratings & Reviews

As you may have already heard, this game is a brand new experience in the Legend of Zelda universe. From the artwork to the game play, it’s like a whole new series. You still have the things you are used to in the series, but with stunning graphics and a style that makes the game less passive, more active, and so much more immersive. Played it once on a friend’s switch to pass time, loved it, and it’s honestly the reason I bought a Switch in the first place.

I was on the fence about this for a long time, mostly because it was so expensive and I'm pretty tight with my money. Finally bought it and, wow, this really is as good as advertised. Almost too good. Like the way I've heard people describe what it's like to take opioids is how I feel when I play this. Entire hours go by, so be careful. But if you're looking for a good game to buy, it won't be wasted if you buy this.

What else can I say about this game - I am playing through for the 2nd time (first on Wii U) and it is probably the best game ever made. Especially in these horrible pandemic times, being able to spend a few hours roaming through this beautiful immersive landscape and get away from it all is very therapeutic. I really hope they nail BOTW2 when it comes out, or make Ocarina of Time with this game engine.

Haven’t played a Zelda game since the 90’s and Ocarina of Time was all the rage. This game immediately grabbed my attention and I haven’t put it down since.

What more can I say? This game is near perfection. Game play is tight, world design is outstanding, the flow of the story and the pacing is wonderful. You can do anything in almost any way imaginable, and yet it still feels far less overwhelming than other massive open world games. Attention to detail is on another level, as is often the case with Nintendo. This is a whole new level of Zelda, and in my opinion it's a perfectly executed direction. This game has it all. BUY IT!!!

Most fun I have had with a game in a long time. Challenging, but not punishing. So incredibly open and fun. Love everything about it.

The legend of zelda has always been a great franchise and this game is the perfect example of why. Great story and game play.

This game is by far the best thing to come out of Nintendo for a long LONG time. They have essentially gone back to the roots of what Zelda was meant to be- a game all about exploration, your drive to quest, and the freedom to approach a scenario however you think best! If I had to describe it, it's like the best parts of an Elder Scrolls game combined with Zelda- open world, expanse terrain to explore, resource management and collecting, and more importantly, plenty of adversity and challenges to keep you hooked!!

This Zelda brings me back to Ocarina of Time. Its a great game packed with an open map challenging puzzles and great gameplay

Wonderful game with tons to do and excellent replayability.

I've played this game for many hours and there is still so much to do. The open world is great for exploring with lots of content.

Fantastic game, has a ton of content and the open world is extremely immersive.

This game is amazing!!!! I bought it for my boyfriend but I’m the one playing it the most. It’s super fun

Stunning sums it up. Imagine being able to move throughout the map of this massive iteration of Hyrule with absolutely zero load times. Gameplay is perfect with exploits galore as you learn new techniques. Story is lacking overall as most reviews will point out, however I make up my own story for Link as he moves from each imposing environment. This is an experience for the ages.

Easily the best Zelda game I have ever played. So many different ways to solve puzzles, combat enemies, traverse terrain. Over 300 weapons, tons of outfits with set bonuses, crafting of items and so much more. If you are an RPG fan and love a good open world this is for you. The sheer amount of side quests alone will leave you flabbergasted as to how long it will take to fully complete it since it offers multiple different endings. As the great Phillip J Fry. Put it so eloquently, "Shut up and take my money!!"

I'll keep this one short and sweet. Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece, coming from someone who hasn't cared for any Zelda games (aside from Windwaker) since a Link to the Past on SNES. It breaks away from the mundane formula of all the other 3D Zelda's. This game is like if Nintendo had a baby with The Witcher 3 and Far Cry. Huge open world with an INSANE amount to do, this game can literally keep you playing for a year if you are limited on time. Don't even think about this one, just buy it and don't look back.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is simply an astounding game. Very few games, in the history of gaming, have the ability to create an experience such as the one BotW has crafted. There is magic here that will likely go down as one of the best games of all time. Not since OoT has a game come out that will likely drive the way video games in general are created, and after BotW, there is no looking back.

[Employee of bestbuy] If your looking for a switch game that actually keeps you coming back for more this is your game. Also if you haven't played the new sequel Tears of the Fallen kingdom you will be spoiled with 2 great games to play without the long wait that happened to most fans

I love everything from the gameplay to the music. I've only really played Ocarina of Time and 4 Swords, but this game sucked me right in far more than previous titles. I love sandbox games like The Witcher 3 and Fallout 3, so this was much more up my alley. It has a very wholesome and mysterious vibe; finding and solving the puzzles is a blast! I highly recommend this game to anyone that wants to get lost in fantasy and epic adventure.

I've been playing Zelda since the first one came out for the NES. This is an evolution of that game, giving you just what you need and leaves the rest up to you. This is a grand, open world adventure that let's you decide how you will play. There's no straight path to the end. You can either explore the vast world or go straight to Gannon if you feel up to it. The world is filled with interesting sights, characters and quests. If you managed to get a Nintendo Switch, this is the only game you'll need for a while.
