Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is really my first Zelda experience-but even still it is a great open world adventure game like RDR2 or Fallout. However, this is much more kid friendly so my kids (5-12) can play too! Only complaint is the shrines with puzzles where you have to move the controller in contorted ways.

It's a good game. Very good. I play it all the time.

This game is drastically different from the Zelda games you are used to. At the same time it also is extremely familiar. The new gameplay mechanics and open world style, give this fantastic franchise a new direction while still respecting its rich history.

This game has renewed my console gaming life. I have been playing strictly console games all my life until 2 years ago when I started playing PC. This game + the switch has brought me back to the console world and I just have to say this is so worth the GOTY award it got and the hype. Just get it. It is amazing.

I've never been a zelda fan, like ever, played ocarina of time on 3ds and never even finished it, but this game here is a whole nother level. So many side quest, interactions, weapons and equipment all in a open world map (which is HUGE). To me, this should be a game everyone atleast tries out before discrediting.

Zelda take on the open-world genre takes the complexity of it and simplifies it enough that you enjoy exploring and doing whatever you want in the game, while still giving a large variety of what you can do in this world. This is a great title and if your looking for a huge time sink, this is your game.

This game really is great and it can be separated into nearly two distinct games. The 'main story' portion is actually rather short compared to Zelda games of past, but the 'additional' content is extremely huge and plentiful, enough to be it's own game in itself. Is it great? Yes. Should you buy it? I highly recommend so.

Seriously, stop reading and buy this game. I am only sorry I could not give more than 5 stars. Just go watch some videos of it online to be sure, then buy it. The only important thing to add here is that it is not at all necessary for you to have played any of the past Zelda games to enjoy this game. It stands on its own.

I'm probably 40 hours in to Breath of the Wild and the hype is REAL! This is the best reviewed video game in history for a reason, and you're probably better off googling any major outlet's take on the game (IGN, Gamespot, Destructoid) than reading about my ramblings about how much fun it is to cook food and kill Guardians :P

I have a younger brother, who's a huge Legend of Zelda fan. I was glad to pick this up for him, as a Christmas gift. I know of the LoZ series, as I am an old school gamer myself. Definitely a pickup if you're a Zelda fan, and also have an Nintendo Switch.

Like most, Ocarina of Time is a standard I hold many games up to. Even after playing it nearly 20 years ago I can still remember how enthralling it was. Breath of the Wild recaptures that happiness. It's great to see the franchise reach those heights again.

There’s a reason it’s so popular - get one for the gamer in your life

It really fun it cool the graphics are nice and it’s free Rome which that’s fun

In general its a great game, well worth the money. Whats more it to me, is that joy that this game brings my partner

I bought this for my son, since he had played it on another game system and loved it. This was for his Nintendo switch, and it did not disappoint!

Great game as always. The alight differences betwen the old version from older game system's up until this one were on point and great changes! Makes the game a little more difficult in terms of it being challenging but not impossible.

Bought thi for my son for Christmas. He loves Zelda!

The Nintendo Switch's definitive game of the year, and Super Mario Odyssey isn't even available yet! After many years of scripted, linear Zelda titles, gamers worldwide are rejoicing in a Zelda title that offers little in-game direction, similar to the first few games in the series. A 30th anniversary title not to be missed!

I was very skeptical that this game was as good as the critics say. Then I realized I stopped playing at 5am my first night with it. It, like most Zelda games, are a bit of a slow burn in the beginning but I felt so much agency to do what I wanted that every time I pick of the controller I am discovering something new.

Originally bought this for my daughter who loved the open world nature of Mario Odyssey and then got to play BOTW at her cousin's house over the holiday break. She likes it well enough, but the puzzles are still a bit hard for her to get completely on her own, so she had me start playing it. And now I can't put it down. I'm not a classic Zelda fan, nor even open-world type games, but I really do like that this game can be what you want. If you don't want to fight some over-powered monster right now, go do other stuff for a while and come back to it later. Want to spend time exploring? Collecting? Completing side quests? Whatever. For me, pretty much perfect.
