    Amazing game and worth the money! The open world means that you have seemingly endless exploration and tasks to do. If you are looking for a fun game to pass the time and be fulfilling, this is the one for you!

    This game is both beautiful and fun. It's essentially an open world, RPG adventure game where you really get to choose how you want to play. The world, graphics, play style is amazing. If there is any question if you're on the fence of making this purchase (I was, and I usually wait for prices on games to drop), this is a game that feels like it is worth every penny.

    I have never played a Zelda game before but WOW. This really set the bar high, I have spent countless hours just exploring the world, fighting monsters, catching horses, finding shrines, and looking for korok seeds. Just when you thought you have combed through every surface, you always discover something new.

    Breath of the Wild is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. It is gorgeous when you stand on a hill top and look to the horizon. Wandering the open world is awe inspiring and frightening at the same time, you don't know what will be around the next corner. Enjoying every moment I get to play.

    I haven't played a Zelda game in a long time and this game has made me wish I had never stopped. The game is a huge open world endeavor that has extremely detailed game play. Don't be put off though because it eases you in rather well. Just save everything you get and be prepared to cook.

    I skipped this game (and the Switch altogether) 6 years ago because I didn’t think the Switch was a better system than the PS4 and XBox One I had. I also got so caught up in the graphics of the other consoles, that I missed out on the wide open gameplay of Breath of The Wild, and the overall fun Nintendo has given gamers for years. So when Nintendo announced the Tears of the Kingdom Switch, I immediately thought to give this game a try, boy did I make the mistake of passing up this game 6 years ago. I highly recommend that you play this game before you play Tears of the Kingdom, and if you’re on the fence about a Switch… get one, and buy this game!

    I have read a lot of reviews about what makes this game great and I agree with a lot of them. This game has a great story and an a open world where you can go straight to the final boss fight if you want to; but I don't recommend it. Because you will be hugely unprepared for that battle.

    Incredible Zelda Experience

    This is hands down one of my top favorite games of all time now. It is not quite the Zelda most people expect and I think that is a good thing. I think it gets a lot of things right, its open world, the variations in areas, the art direction, the music (or lack of), and the majestic beauty. A lot of people complain that the story is really bare, but I found that to be not true for me. I found that the story for me was the story that I created around what the developers had already put in. Getting distracted hunting a wolf, only to find myself at the edge of a cliff, with a shrine off in the distance and deciding to head there. On the way I discover some new fruit I haven't found yet and then stumbling upon a stable and meeting new people handing out side quests. Hours have passed at this point, and I still haven't made it to that shrine. This to me is how the story evolves throughout the game. It is what you make it, kind of like the most epic of choose your own adventure stories. I recommend it!

    The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of my new favorite games and it is family friendly as well. It is a little like dark souls with the difficulty curve but non the less once you sink half your life into it and think you are getting good it will stomp on your dreams like a quarterback. The game is tons of fun though just a little difficult sometimes.

    This is hands down the best video game I have played in the past two years. For anyone that enjoys open world games or great game design this should be at the top of your list. Very easy to get lost in the world and not feel like you are wasting time but instead exploring a living world.

    I have not really been into Zelda as much as the original on NES. This game reminds me of that time. The game throws you into the world with pretty much the freedom to roam where you want, similar to the original. With that free roam comes moments where you will encounter difficult characters who will kill you in one shot, similar to the original. Looks fantastic too!

    This game is extremely fun, even for those who aren't fans of the Zelda series. the fact that you can complete objectives in whatever order you please, or just spend hours exploring Hyrule, makes this one of the best games available on Switch!

    Best in the Series

    One of the best Zelda games in the series. I have played them all and this gives you hours of play time in exploration and evil doer bashing. I did miss the temples that are prominent in every other Zelda game but after having it for a while I still am finding secrets and exploring areas I have not reached. Great for wasting time while traveling.

    One of the best Zelda games

    This Zelda game is the biggest in the franchise. By biggest, I mean Hyrule is massive compared to the other games in the series. There are so many things to do in the game that you'll be side tracked on just exploring. I've climbed mountains for almost the majority of the game looking for shrines, koroks, and secrets. You do have the option of riding a horse as well. I do have a couple issues with the game. This game has a durability system >.>. Some of the weapons break way too easily including the really good weapons. It just sucks having to find an amazing weapon, only for it to break after five or six hits. A certain type of sword also breaks (not permanently) as well. It does take some getting used to but after a while I didn't mind it as much. Now for the weather system. The rain, oh my god, the rain. Make. It. Stop. It rains more often than the cash thrown on a stripper. Nintendo. Please patch. There were a few times when the fps dropped but for the majority of the game it was 20-30 fps. Wished it was 60 constant but what can you do. While these issues may seem problematic, it didn't detract me from immensely enjoying it. (Probably helped that I'm a fan of the series and I was playing AssCreed before it, which wasn't very exciting.) I would rate it a 4.5/5 and is currently my GOTY.

    The Nintendo Switch brought me back to the Nintendo brand for the first time since the Nintendo 64 and Zelda was the reason why. It evokes feelings of ocarina of time but manages to be fresh and new. Lots of extra items and a bit of different strategy but true to the core of the game.

    Strong and emotional storytelling. Beautiful open world. Enjoyable combat system. Lots of detailed exploration. I can’t say enough good things about this fantastic game. Highly recommended for anyone who loves open world exploration and third person action/adventure. Worth every cent.

    I have always been a Nintendo fan, since the days of Super Mario 64. Most Nintendo franchises have caught my interest, but I never gave Zelda a try until now. This is a great game with a compelling story, and gameplay that is intuitive and often physics-based which feels fresh and exciting.

    Expansive, addicting game. The best Zelda ever, and i love Ocarina of Time. I have spent about 20 hours playing the game thus far, and am not even 1/10 of the way into the game. Any Zelda fan or open world adventure fan will love this game. Beware: wives/girlfriends, this may cause your husband/boyfriend to be distracted for quite some time, but he will be HAPPY!!!
