Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow! This is one of the best games I have ever played. I've owned nearly every Legend of Zelda game made. I am very much a fan of the games, lore and characters. This game combines the love of the LoZ storytelling and the open world of Skyrim/Fallout to create a game like no other. There are so many things to do. I got this game at launch and I have barely scratched the surface of the main story. I've been too busy getting distracted, finding treasures, and doing side quests. Highly recommend this.

I love this game. I had the game ordered and ready in a few hours locally, and it was price competitive to other places. In my opinion buying a switch 1 game if the upgrade pack is available is a no brainer. I spent the extra 10 bucks I would have spent for the switch 2 version on the upgrade pack and I now I can choose which version I want to play. This can be important for some gamers as the switch 1 and 2 versions allow for different glitches should that interest you, and the game is easier to share IMO with a switch 1 physical copy.

Anything you think of, there is a way to do it in this game. The open world amplifies the enjoyment of exploration previous zeldas offered to an entirely new level. The graphics are beautiful, the physics fit in very well with the world, the enemies are fun and the story is fantastic. How the developers went about using dungeons in this game is creative and unique, with the smaller rooms of a typical dungeon being scattered across 120 shrines, and pivotal elements to the story being used as the main dungeons. Im continuously blown away by this game every time I play it. Do yourself a favor and pick it up if you haven't.

I have been waiting for years to play this game and after all of that time it still did not disappoint! This is fun to play. Completely new but also nostalgicly familiar. It's set up in a way that's good for those who have spent lots of time with these games or even for beginners like my boyfriend who have never played before! You can get lost exploring, cooking, creating, etc. around the world and sometimes completely forgetting about the main quests. I would recommend this game to anyone!

We are really enjoying this game! The story line is fun, the adventures and side quests keep us occupied! The graphics are a lot of fun and have details we can all appreciate. The difficulty levels as you advance are reasonable and keep you going back for more game time. The characters are fun and the extras hidden around are really worth the hunt. One of my favorite things is the cooking. I don't know why, but it keeps me entertained! It's even fun to watch if you're not playing. I would definitely recommend this game.

In my opinion, this is the best Switch game out there. You can do whatever you want whenever you want and are never forced to continue the story. Want to collect and cook a ton on food? Go for it! Want to power through defeating the divine beats and Ganon? Go be that hero. Want to collect every treasure from every shrine? Yes you can do that too. Hundreds of hours of play that slowly and casually reaches you how to play without being annoying about it. I haven’t played a lot of Zelda before and yet this game came naturally to me because of its great design.

Best open world game made yet, the polish is great, plays amazingly well in tablet and TV mode (with some fps drops on tv but only in certain areas). Nintendo's own clever spin in what is otherwise a saturated genre (open world action adventure) that knows when to be goofy and serious. Its very open to many people's play styles but I do warn any 100%ers that its gonna be tedious to uncover all the collectables/heart&stamina containers without any guides. I've put over 75 hours into this game so far and am only 75% done with the main story/easy to access shrines. Haven't even gone to Hyrule Castle yet!

There are no flaws to this game. Great story. Open World. Great graphics. It is as close to perfect as a game can get.

THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THE COLORS, GRAPHICS, STORY, GAME-PLAY, OPEN WORLD, EVERYTHING. THE NINTENDO SWITCH GOES PERFECTLY WITH THIS GAME. WELL DONE NINTENDO!

Breath of the Wild is a massive world that suffers from being just a bit too empty at times. Like other open worlds (Skyrim, Dragon Age: INQ, Assassin's Creed) there is a massive amount of land to traverse, and a basket full of side activities to do...but they are scattered throughout a very open landscape that could have used more additions. The controls take some getting used to, and the run sprint/jump buttons are switchable from the options menu, which is great, but I would have liked to see more customization in that regard. The biggest problem with BotW is its dated, absolutely counter-fun inventory and weapon system. Your limited inventory is used to hold weapons/shields/bows that seem to break every time you sneeze, and the inventory is only expanded by finding hidden creatures. So if you don't have fun hunting down every single little thing, you'll hate this system even more. It's nice to see a variety of weapons to use (boomerangs, two handed swords, spears, swords, wands) but it is a horrible feeling to get a really awesome weapon and have it break, or have to save it for eternity for a really tough battle just to get the most use out of it. Ultimately, that is BotW biggest problem. It changed things that didn't need to be changed just for the sake of changing it. The old inventory/weapon system is better, and this new one made an otherwise amazing game significantly worse. Still a fun, albeit frustrating, experience worth playing.

The game is very open and for Zelda, it feels weird, it's very hard at first but before long you get the mechanics down, it turns into the best Zelda game ever.

I'm loving this game so much. It has given me such a sense of wonder as I explore more. I can't wait to fully discover the land of Hyrule and learn more of the story.

This game is beautiful, entertaining, and perfectly balances story/combat/exploration. It's got the feel of an original LoZ game without the structure of an LoZ game.

One of the best games for the Switch, great gameplay and story.

I have played most of the games in the Zelda franchise, with my favorite being Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. I pretty much bought a Switch just for this game. Have probably put at least 50 hours into the game, but I haven't gotten bored yet. Exploration is the best part of the game. I haven't been interested in exploring big maps since Guild Wars 2. The difficulty was a bit rough at first, but after getting used to the controls and building up an arsenal of upgrades I can take on anything in the game. Overall it is definetly worth playing and likely game of the year material.

Hands down this is the best Zelda game since A Link to the Past. The open world perfects what I wanted from other open world titles in the past five years and is the first with gameplay that had me hooked enough to 100% the game (except for all of those Korok puzzles, of course). Each Shrine gives you a new experience which feels like Portal test chambers instead of a Zelda dungeon which was brilliant. Having the game on the Switch was a great experience just to show the power of what you can take on the go with you and definitely gives me more options of when and where to play this wonderful game.

After 30 years of Zelda games, Nintendo went back to its roots and just put you in the middle of nowhere and encourage you to explore. It works. You will encounter Bokoblin camps which encourage different techniques to take them, mini-dungeons with puzzles, and a very vertical environment which encourages the player to explore bby climbing. And this is just the first hour! The game continually offers more systems and more gratification for the entire duration. A masterpiece.

A fun and challenging game. A game of exploration

This is the ultimate game. Link is the best. I am not even close to making a dent in this game. But so many things. Really amazing. The graphics are great. Who cares if only 1080p. The open world and endless bombs. All the old characters and new. Just so much. It is a game that will take a while. But you will enjoy all the challenges along the way. Very thought out detail. Just love it.

I'm not as much a fan of Zelda as my fiance is. That being said, i've played a few of the main games in the series – mainly during the Nintendo 64 era (as well as the remasters for the 3DS). I probably won't have the nostalgia for this game like I do for the others, nor will it be quite as memoriable in terms of characters or gameplay. But somehow this game is still one of the best I've ever played. The pickup and play ability of it is perfect. It's unique and open world suits Link – even if I've never been an open world fan. Just get it. I haven't met anyone who regretted the decision.
