Customer Ratings & Reviews

I haven't played every Zelda game, but this one is by far the best one I've played. The open world is a lot of fun to explore and the game gives you a lot of fun challenges without being overly frustrating. It's a really beautiful game too, especially considering the hardware it's running on. I only have one small gripe and that's that the motion controls for aiming feels a little shoehorned in and can be a bit frustrating to use; fortunately they can be turned off in the settings. Zelda fan or not I think this is pretty much a must own game if you have a Switch.

Legend of Zelda is always a classic. This game definitely meets with todays standards of gameplay with a TRUE & VAST open-world sandbox environment, which is a first for Nintendo. The visuals in this game are truly beautiful, even if you are not aware of the Zelda franchise. I found myself taking many in-game screenshots and would even venture out to find some good locations to take screenshots. This game is what Zelda was always meant to be, with no limitations. Also, be aware that is a LONG game with a lot of side quests. However, there are also a lot of in-game goodies to unlock...

As a big nintendo fan when I was a child, I have jumped to the "adult gamer" world after college playing PS4 and XBOX One with those "mature" and "sophisticated" setups (Honestly I have never owned a Wii U). However, Nintendo Switch and this game bring the nostalgic feeling I had 10-15 years ago. All the puzzle solving, the gorgeous natural scenes, and the funny dialogues are just spectacular, not to mention the full-space, continuous immersion of the vast worldview. Pokemon+Monster Hunter+Final Fantasy+..., this one game awakes the memories playing multiple remarkable pieces in youth.

LoZ: BotW is one of the best in the series to date. Controls are tight, world has many things to do (doesn't suffer as much from the empty world like Twilight Princess did). The story is standard Zelda, the difference is that the game lets you do the dungeons in any order. As such, all the runes (special powers) are given from the get-go. The difficulty of the dungeons is on the easier side. The largest complaint I have is with the weapons system. All equipment besides armor (like sword, shield, and bow) can break on repeated usage. This ends up meaning most weapons break after killing a couple enemies. This becomes more of a annoyance than anything else. Game is close to being perfect if it didn't have this problem. Also be warned, the game runs on the Switch with a higher clock on the hardware, so on battery performance does deplete faster than some other games. That's to be expected though. In the end, it's an essential play on the Switch and showcases the power of the console pretty well. It's fun to play on TV and in handheld.

The cartridge and game case were in perfect condition. And the game itself still holds up despite being 8 years old and having a sequel. Definitely worth it on switch 2 too, considering the upgrade pack is free if you have an NSO + expansion pack.

Now, I have never really been a Zelda fan (Ocarina of Time was the last Zelda game played), but this is one fantastic game. The graphics, although cell shaded, have many stunning & breathtaking moments. It definitely seems like the developers really spent their time making even the most minute details stand out. The only complaints I have would be the game is much too easy and the story is quite boring. But the quality of gameplay and expansiveness definitely make up for these shortcomings. Overall, this game really stands out in the Open World genre. Definitely would recommend.

One of the best games for the Nintendo switch. The graphics are incredible and the gameplay is even better.

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.

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

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.

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.

Really great game, I got this game to get the Switch 2 edition because it was on sale, and so I got it, and the Switch 2 upgrade made the experience so much better. The Game looks really beautiful on both consoles though. This is an amazing game for beginners as well as it has really great tutorials for controls and gameplay. Worth it if you're thinking to buy Tears of the Kingdom as well.

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.

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

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

The best game I’ve ever played since my childhood, you need to buy it.
