Customer Ratings & Reviews

Breath of the Wild is by far the greatest LoZ I've ever played. The control scheme takes some getting used to, but before long, you'll be a pro. The map size is fantastic, having already spent numerous hours just climbing mountains to see what I might find hidden within them. The story seems fairly expensive, but I've spent more time wandering/exploring/scavenging than anything. Definitely give this a solid 5*, would recommend for any gaming fan and Switch owner.

While I suspect some folks might be irritated by the weapons breaking all over the place, I liked the forced improvisation. This game is beautiful, mechanically interesting, and it has a solid story you can track down and piece together. The environmental storytelling isn't quite on par with Dark Souls, but it's leagues above Nintendo's other outings, and it makes for some very poignant moments for longtime Zelda fans. One of my favorite entries in the series.

This game has it all. Amazing graphics, great story, classic Zelda gameplay with many new features, and a beautiful open world to explore.

I am not a nintendo fan boy. Last time I purchased a nintendo was the 64. I finally came around to this system and got it day one along with zelda BOTW. And I have to say. great job Nintendo. This game was great. A lot of fun. The story is great. Great addition to the lore. The graphics are not next gen but pretty good for nintendo.. game runs well and didnt have any issues. If you have or are getting a switch. Zelda is a must no matter if your new to the story.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an incredible step forward for the series. The open world concept, as presented by the talents developers at Nintendo, allows for a new level of exploration and discovery that I have not experienced in any other game. The combat is responsive, challenging, and rewarding. This game really pushes you to think outside the box to solve all of its many many puzzles and discover its many many hidden secrets. 100 hours in and I still have so much to discover and experience. This is a definitive experience that should not be missed.

I haven't played a Zelda game since The Wind Waker and even that I didn't play a ton of but I got the Switch day one and needed something to buy so I picked this up. I had seen trailers so I knew it would at least be a pretty game but I'm shocked at how much I love it. It's a great open world game full of charm. It has bits of Skyrim, Dark Souls, Far Cry and the like but it's got all of those beat in looks. Perfect game for the Switch too. I get so addicted to open world games it's great to have the option of bringing it to bed to get a few more minutes out of the game.

When it was announced that this game was going to be an open world style I wondered how they would spread out a Legend of Zelda game over such a huge map but after playing it I wonder no more. The use of traditional LOZ problem solving just to survive in the overworld is intuitive and fun. Then the shrines and dungeons are challenging without being frustrating. All in all this is a fantastic addition to the Legend of Zelda mythos and timeline.

This has been a ton of fun so far, and I've barely cracked the story. The freedom to explore the world is great, and while you technically aren't blocked from going anywhere, you can definitely tell when you aren't "ready" for an area. The constant struggle of making sure you have enough weapons, food, armor, and keeping track of both enemies, puzzles, and the elements there is no shortage of things to keep you on edge. A must have for any gamer!

If you're asking yourself if you should shell out the money for the new Nintendo console in order to play this game the answer is yes!! This game is absolutely amazing. It's beautiful graphics, intriguing gameplay, open world never-ending aspect take you away.. we have spent countless hours playing this game and still feel like there's so so much to do. It's easily the most fun game in my opinion since Animal Crossing and my husband is obsessed. Just do it, just get the game, just get the console, you won't regret it. This is the Zelda games you've been waiting for

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.

This game is absolutely amazing. The amount of things you can do and the different ways to solve problems make this game incredibly fun and rewarding. My best advice to have the most fun is to go in blind, don’t look things up online. Explore and use common sense to solve problems. You’ll be immersed in the level of detail in this game. I haven’t felt a sense of wonder and amazement in a video game in many years. The world is huge and expansive and you can go pretty much anywhere at any time. Do not hesitate to try this one out.

The graphics in this game are sickkkkk! It has an amazing story as well and is open world! The game is massive.

I want to start out by saying that I've played every Zelda console game. They are all truly superb games and have their own identity. Enter Breath of the Wild. The ability to roam where ever you please in a vast, rich world that is Hyrule. I've spent numerous hours just wandering the various sections of the map finding secrets, tackling challenging packs of enemies, and engaging with NPCs to complete a quest. Each encounter is fun and satisfying to complete. Most importantly, this game is just FUN. Nintendo has truly made a masterpiece with this game.

There is so much to do in this game. You will get hundreds of hours of content to explore in just your first playthrough alone if you try to 100% complete this. It has stunningly outstanding graphics for a game thats on less powerful hardware than XB1 and PS4. It also sounds incredible, plays like an absolute dream, and its presentation oozes with possibly Nintendo's best polish ever seen. Arguably the best action-adventure game ever created. The highest recommendation, and was completely worth getting on launch day with the Nintendo Switch!

Brings me back to old memories from previous games but in a more adventurous way which make my day so enjoyable, would definitely recommend to any Zelda fan!

I was a little confused when this game came out why it was considered Game of the Year by most people when Horizon: Zero Dawn came out and was so fun to play. After playing this game for little over a week, I can definitely see why. It's so fun running around the open world and working to solve the riddles in the temples that you won't even notice how quickly time flies. I'm still not finished with the game just yet but I'm so happy I got to play it and might play it again once I finish.

I have enjoyed the past games and feel that this is a perfect next step in the Zelda/Link lineage. Good story, game play, and overall immersive world.

Nintendo went a little too hard on the open world/survival aspect of this game. It's HIGHLY likely that you will spend more time in the menu screen than the actual game world and, as long as that's not a problem for you, this game is rather enjoyable despite itself. It's still a Zelda game and that puts it a step ahead of the rest, but only a step. The controls are clunky (a circumstance of being a launch title on a new console), and the new gameplay elements are far too gimicky to add any real value or fun to the mix. The story is great and worth powering through any disappointment you have with the game itself, but it's hard at times, especially considering how much time is consumed by aimless wandering, gathering obscure ingredients, or hunting down insufferable quest objectives, all while every weapon in your inventory teeters on the edge of breaking. It's not a masterpiece, despite all the media hype for it, but it's fun and worthwhile. Wait a bit and pick it up on sale and you probably won't be disappointed.

This game really is amazing. I love the freedom to approach the quests as I choose. Controls are great, visuals are impressive

I’m not the biggest Zelda fan, so I haven’t played any version of it since I was a kid. Breath of Wind is incredibly fun and engaging. I was hooked on the first day and played for about 8 hours straight. The only thing that was weird for me, and that’s probably mostly due to my age, is the concept of weapons suffering damage as you use them. But, once I got used to it, it’s been pretty fun trying to make sure I don’t overuse my weapons. I also love all the puzzles and games and side quests.
