For older fans of the Zelda franchise, who have been with the Zelda games from the old days of bopping around your pixelated character.., this is beautiful to see how far we've come. Great game, I definitely recommend..!

Zelda take on the open-world genre takes the complexity of it and simplifies it enough that you enjoy exploring and doing whatever you want in the game, while still giving a large variety of what you can do in this world. This is a great title and if your looking for a huge time sink, this is your game.

The game room only a day or two to arrive and the case was in excellent condition— no shipping damage at all. I didn’t know i’d get a free switch case as well which was nice.
the game was absolutely splendid and i was very pleased. i plan to play it again and again.

Such a beautiful game. Even though it's open world and has a bunch of open world tropes, it's still Zelda with it's Zelda charm and personality. I love exploring and finding meaningful side quests off to the sides. My only complaint is weapon degradation but I didn't think it hindered my gameplay as much as I thought it would.

For years I could not wrap my head around Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. These were hallmark games that never grabbed me the way they did so many others. But Breath of the Wild is different. It has the polish that Nintendo 1st party games are known. It has personality, challenge, adventure and charm. I could not be happier.

Amazing game!! So much to explore and do. Zelda series games from NINTENDO never disappoint! Even though this game is almost 4 years old since it’s release of March 2017, if you haven’t added to you switch library, put onto your “ must purchase list “

Great game. Loved the new mechanic of breaking weapons. Makes you really think about what engagements are important and when to use certain weapons. The graphics were very artistic.

This game has renewed my console gaming life.
I have been playing strictly console games all my life until 2 years ago when I started playing PC.
This game + the switch has brought me back to the console world and I just have to say this is so worth the GOTY award it got and the hype. Just get it. It is amazing.

I've never been a zelda fan, like ever, played ocarina of time on 3ds and never even finished it, but this game here is a whole nother level. So many side quest, interactions, weapons and equipment all in a open world map (which is HUGE). To me, this should be a game everyone atleast tries out before discrediting.

Originally bought this for my daughter who loved the open world nature of Mario Odyssey and then got to play BOTW at her cousin's house over the holiday break. She likes it well enough, but the puzzles are still a bit hard for her to get completely on her own, so she had me start playing it. And now I can't put it down.
I'm not a classic Zelda fan, nor even open-world type games, but I really do like that this game can be what you want. If you don't want to fight some over-powered monster right now, go do other stuff for a while and come back to it later. Want to spend time exploring? Collecting? Completing side quests? Whatever. For me, pretty much perfect.

This game is drastically different from the Zelda games you are used to. At the same time it also is extremely familiar. The new gameplay mechanics and open world style, give this fantastic franchise a new direction while still respecting its rich history.

What can I say? I've been playing the Zelda games since 1987. This one is a bit different, but I've probably played this more than any other game in the past few years. There's plenty of challenge if you want it. And if you don't, it's fun to just run around and explore.

This game really is great and it can be separated into nearly two distinct games. The 'main story' portion is actually rather short compared to Zelda games of past, but the 'additional' content is extremely huge and plentiful, enough to be it's own game in itself.
Is it great? Yes. Should you buy it? I highly recommend so.

Seriously, stop reading and buy this game.
I am only sorry I could not give more than 5 stars.
Just go watch some videos of it online to be sure, then buy it.
The only important thing to add here is that it is not at all necessary for you to have played any of the past Zelda games to enjoy this game.
It stands on its own.

I'm probably 40 hours in to Breath of the Wild and the hype is REAL! This is the best reviewed video game in history for a reason, and you're probably better off googling any major outlet's take on the game (IGN, Gamespot, Destructoid) than reading about my ramblings about how much fun it is to cook food and kill Guardians :P

Like most, Ocarina of Time is a standard I hold many games up to. Even after playing it nearly 20 years ago I can still remember how enthralling it was. Breath of the Wild recaptures that happiness. It's great to see the franchise reach those heights again.

Received the digital download for this game as expected from Best Buy with no issues.
If you’re a Zelda fan, you’ll most likely love this game.
I would recommend this to a friend

We love Zelda and this purchase was for our new Switch. It didnt disappoint us as it uas all the same game play as our Wii U Zelda game. It looks really good on the Switch screen and and just as good when you dock it to whatch it in TV. Good purchase.
