Customer Ratings & Reviews

The more I play this game the more I fall in love with it. It's got all the hallmarks of a traditional Zelda title but mixed in with true open world aspects that blend together seamlessly. Additionally, this is one of the toughest Zelda games that I've ever played. From the beginning, enemies can kill you in one hit, which makes you develop a smarter and more pragmatic play style. I could rave about this game for hours but I won't do that here. Instead, you should pick it up and try it out for yourself! I can almost guarantee you'll love it.

best game on the platform. beautiful. so much to do. literally the game to own if you own a switch.

One of the best games i have ever played. Game play is addicting. Always something new to explore. Mass weapons and gear! Pure gaming enjoyment

I was never a huge fan of the "openness" of Ocarina, nor of the non-linear dungeon order of Link Between Worlds, which just made the dungeons flat and lifeless. But Breath of the Wild unlocks the true potential of these concepts, proving that the details make all the difference in the world. This is an open world brimming with personality, and a level design that gives complete freedom while still affording a genuine sense of progression (as you roam the world, you'll find equipment that is better in ways beyond mere offense/defense points).

This game is fantastic. It is challenging, but at the same time rewarding. The graphics are wonderful and the story line is immersive.

This game is great. It really is zelda at it best open world with a lot to do. It has great puzzles and better baddies. And it looks amazing!!!

Amazing quality game. A Zelda game from Nintendo being amazing is hardly a surprise but this is a really great experience. Gameplay is fantastic. Link moves fairly well for a Nintendo full 3D title. Horse mechanics are a little clumsy but the rest of the controls work well. There are some challenging parts that require you to think or talk to the in game characters for hints of where to go. Story is mediocre. But the gameplay is fantastic and they tell the story well, it just requires a powerful suspension of disbelief.

I love this game! It has a wide open world with (It seems like) endless experiences. If you love any of the Zelda series this is a must have.

This is probably the best game on Switch and definitely the best Nintendo title on the console. However, I would say in the general spirit of past Zelda games, I liked Wind Waker more. That said, BotW has far more depth of gameplay mechanics and puts any Zelda title before it to shame in that regard. Must own Switch game.

One of the Greatest games ever, certainly for the Switch.

Wow!! Love how beautiful this game looks and the ability to be able to explore so much of it.

Well worth the wait, stands confidently next to the best Zelda's in the franchise. You'll feel the sense of wonderment just like you did when you played your very first Zelda, again and again. I was amazed by how much is really packed into this game. Any critiques people give this game really boil down to players personal preference. As a open world, this game is as near perfection as you can get. I haven't been this excited to get home and play since I played Dark Souls the first time. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this!

Fantastic game. Had it on the wii-u but never finished it do to the game getting broken. Decided to buy it again when I got the switch. Still just as good. If you're a fan of Zelda games, especially Ocarina, Majors Mask or Windwaker, then you'll enjoy this. The game also doesn't rely on knowing anything about the previous games so its a good game to jump into the series with if you've never played a Legend of Zelda game before.

My daughter loves this game. It’s so much fun and the graphics are terrific.

It is my first time playing a Zelda game and i love it. The story is great, the obstacles, the quality of the game is really good

I love this game as open world so much more than the previous fixed story versions. No matter where I go there is an adventure to be had.

I've always been a fan of the Zelda franchise. I didn't think anything could de-throne my 90s fav of Link to the Past (though Twilight Princess came close). Breath of the Wild is so grand and daunting, that it feels like an actual adventure. There is so much you can do that I'm constantly being surprised. The only difficult part is setting the game down for a while to take a break. It pays homage to the previous titles while being completely unique to itself. It's the only reason I purchased the Switch. Well worth it.

This game has so much depth, and lets you tackle it however you want to. Gone are the typical dungeons however. In their place out “Shrines” which each offer an environment challenge, puzzle involving a single or multiple items, or a mini boss fight you may have found in any of the predecessors dungeon rooms. These are all scattered among a gigantic world that is completely unlocked for you to explore from the get-go. There seems to a plethora of side quests to keep you busy for quite some time as well. So far so good here!

It is a refreshing take on the Zelda formula. It says a lot that my wife, someone who wouldn't normally play a Zelda game, played it from start to finish. She even wanted to do all the side quests and find all the shrines. You can pretty much go anywhere from the get go, and do anything in whatever order you want. It still retains a lot of the classic Zelda themes and characters, which means if you liked the older games, you will like this one too. I highly recommend.

BOTW is a fantastic game. I have put over 150 hours into it, and I am about halfway done. There is still so much to explore!
