Great game, I’ve always enjoyed the Zelda games and this one met my expectations.

There are few games that can draw you in as deeply as this one. Even when I’m just going from one location to the next, I get lost exploring or chasing something interesting as I hunt. Perfect story and the history of Zelda continues to push me forward as I remember the first time I played the original as a child.

If you enjoy an open world game with a lot to do and a lot to explore and want to sirens a lot of hours playing a game, then purchase this game. I've spent a few hours a night for a week and I don't think I am anywhere close to where I need to be in the game.

This game sucks you in like no other. I've had it for over a month and I'm still not finished with the main quests. It just feels so fresh and so Nintendo. I can't wait to see where they take this game with the DLC updates coming. If you have a Switch, you need this game.

To be honest, I was lost for a bit. Didn’t know where to go or what to do (lol). Mainly because I started the game and stopped for a bit due to long work nights. However, once I got back into the game, I could not put it down. This game has so much to do and explore. Be prepared to spend a lot of time with this game.

I'm not a big fan of open-world games, but this one really caught my attention. The world is vast and beautiful, and there's something fun about just running through wispy grass going from point A to point B. It looks great on the Switch, and even better on a 1080p television - however, it does look pixelated on a 4K TV with upscaling enabled.

I have been waiting for a while to play this, and finally pulled the trigger! It’s so fun and with the open world concept it makes the game more expensive than other Zelda titles in the past. I very much recommend this to anyone who is a fan of this franchise!

OMG, what a game. This is a must own for all Switch owners. I thought people were over hyping on how good this game is. They weren't wrong. What a wonderful game to explore with fun climbing mechanics and simple but very rewarding combat. I think what sold me over the moon is the Switch's portability on the ability to play it anywhere.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be stated as the birth child of Skyrim and the first Zelda. Weapons break, cooking raw meat to steak, and collecting ore is far from a chore--but others can make it seem a bore. Loved it so much that I bought it for my friend!

i've hated zelda games for a while because they've been so linear - get item so you can unlock this area; you can't go here because you don't have this item. breath of wild is VERY different so far. i haven't completed the game yet, but the game gives you almost everything at the start and lets you go at your own pace. i'm loving it so far

Beautiful, vibrant, and vast are the three descriptions I would use for Zelda: BotW. This game will take you a very long time to complete, and is one of the best deals in terms of dollar-per-hour needed to complete the game. If you know you like Zelda games (or similar games) then this is a must-buy for the Switch. On-the-go Zelda is amazing!

My son anticipated this new game system and it was well worth the wait. We camped out for the launch at our local Best Buy and could not wait until we got it home. Very innovative. The controllers are very responsive and setup is very simple. Gameplay for Zelda is excellent. The screen quality is very good and also displays well on a 1080 TV.

If you take the difficulty of dark souls, add in the survival aspects of games like Rust, and add in a giant sized map that trumps Skyrim and throw those aspects in with the traditional story, gameplay and soundtrack of previous Zelda games, this would be the result.
Completely open, do what you when when you want. Don't pass this up.

Zelda is such a huge part of my life, and this game was well worth the long wait. Everything is beautiful and amazing. Although very different from your average Zelda game, this one brings to light so many new and innovative things. There is nothing negative to say. 10/10, a masterpiece. If you don't play this, you're missing out my dudes
