The open world makes it challenging but leaves the whole game up to you. Gameplay is awesome. Story is just like Zelda should be

This game has been monumental in my mind in how it transforms video games for me. The world feels so alive and has so many things to do that you can spend half of your time just having fun on the side before actually dealing with the meaty content of the game. The very essence of the game is just fun and it can be very difficult to move on to other games after playing something with as much freedom as this allows.

I love this game. it's unlike any zelda game before it. It takes a bit getting used too if you've played previous zeldas, but once you embrace the freedom that the game gives you, it becomes very fun. I've found that the fun isn't the boss fights or the dungeons, but in getting to these buildings, because the game is very good at making it hard for you to get to different landmarks. i still haven't beat it, but this is a great game to buy and one that will last the average player quite a long time

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.

Game is amazing. It's very different than any other Zelda game but also very familiar. Graphics, story, and gameplay are all top notch.

I'm a big fan of the Switch overall. And I haven't owned a Nintendo console since the 64. Best Buy staff was a lil rude but it was late

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.

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.

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

This game is fantastic. A huge open world with tons of exploring. If you like Zelda, you will love this family friendly game.

For years Nintendo have been trying to reinvent Zelda but in the end the new ideas have not worked terribly well and the parts that still work are the same old thing. This feels like an actual reinvention while still feeling like Zelda. While not quite up to the hype it's received, it's still an open world that truly feels complete and without limit. It lack direction at times but for most that won't really matter.

Play this. You won't regret it. Beautiful atmosphere, accessible game play, and a world you will not forget.

Top 10 all time games in my opinion. Lots too do. Great story. Graphics are great. Love playing this on the go

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.

Wasn’t expecting to like this so much but I’m obsessed

[Employee of bestbuy] Its a good game for exploring and fighting enemies

After trying out this game and end up loving it and finishing it in 2 weeks I must say I'm impressed with how large and long it has been to play (and in a good way). For it to fit into a switch is such a dream to have an AAA game on the go. The gameplay itself is decent, though the horse mechanics is garbage so I ended up spending most of my time just running around. Overall this was a great experience!

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!!!

With breath of the wild the classic feel of the old school 2D Zelda returns in this brand new massive 3D world to explore, with enough POLISHED mechanics to have more than 5 ways to obtain the objective and which way you go is entirely up to you. I just can't emphasize enough how polished everything thing is and how every level and step you take was carefully planned and tested, don't miss out on the game of 2017.

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