I bought Breath of the Wild as my first switch game. I’ve always loved the Zelda series and was looking forward to this one. The scenery is amazing! I live the art style and there is tons to look at. I also love the open world and all the side quests. It makes the game feel more exploratory.

I was concerned that using food for health and worrying about clothes and breaking weapons was going to detract from the zelda formula... And I'm happy to report (for me anyway) it doesn't.

I've played 25 hours of this game and I finally made it to the first dungeon. So much world to look at and climb. It makes you want to check every nook and cranny for another Korok Seed or shrine.

I’m late to the BOTW train, but I can definitely see what the hype is about. I had a rough start, but I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s a nice option for when you need a break from the real world.

Just got this and admittedly my first Zelda game since SNES, but I am blown away. The gameplay, controls, and visuals are excellent, and the puzzles are challenging as usual. Provides endless hours of gameplay, and that's not even including the DLC!

OMG this game is amazing!!! I have been playing it almost everday since I bought it and do not regret the money spent on it. The game play is easy to learn, the landscape is beautiful and making all the different dishes and elixirs is fun!

This is the Legend of Zelda game I've been waiting for. While you have a set goals, how you get there is up to you. Your journey is in your hands. Whatever challenges you encounter, it is up to you to overcome and surprass them. Amazing game.

This game will take over your life. I'm in Tokyo for vacation and all I want to do is ride trains so I can play. I'm maybe 40 hours in and haven't event really touched the main quest. Just exploring is so much fun. Please don't look up guides it makes the game much more fun. Definitely worth $400 dollars lol

This game is as good as you've heard. It's beautiful, compelling, and fun to play. My biggest complaint is that the game leaves you pretty much to your own devices to figure out some basic functions like cooking, but in the age of the internet that's a minor inconvenience. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I am a casual gamer -- the last time i purchased a video game it was foir the Wii back in 2010. But I got the Switch to see what the hype was about and I was not disappointed. The game play is open enough to allow someone like me who does not have days at a time to commit to gaming to enjoy the play.

As my first ever actual Zelda game I purchased (I've played the original 1 & 2) this game is breathtaking. It takes a while to get used to but it's so beautiful and works so well. Hard to figure out what to do since i'm new to the series but there is so much to love and discover.

Breath of the Wild continues to breath life into the Zelda franchise nearly three years after its initial release date. The open world format brings a new type of freedom to playing games and provides hours of fun for my and my children.

Great game to spear head the switch with. Gorgeous colors and easy controls. Love the skill building in it too, feels like Skyrim but with a softer touch. The story is probably one you’ve played as a kid but still never gets old! I think this is an easy classic

I can't stop playing this game! It's worth buying a Switch just for this game alone. The story is fresh, the fights are challenging, and the world is MASSIVE! I find myself just exploring for hours! Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a MUST HAVE!

Hands down one of the best open world RPG style games I've ever played. It really is a lot of fun. I find it pretty easy to play on my Switch while traveling or waiting on kids activities and whatnot. There are a few bugs, but nothing major.

I have always been a huge fan of Zelda. I purchased the switch and was delighted to see that this game was made for the switch! What a great purchase! :) 5 stars! This is the best Zelda game that I have played over the years.

I love the graphics and storyline which I spent a good month and a half finishing the game because I was entertained, I have high hopes for Kingdom of tears.

Potential game of the year winner. Best Zelda game I have ever played, in front of Majoras Mask and Ocarina of Time. I find myself turning this on and saying I'll play for 15 or 30 minutes...3 hours later I'm turning it off and going to bed. This game is so much fun. A must buy if you own a Switch.

This game is as good as the reviews! The game-play is amazing and can last you hours and hours. I really like the complexity of the over-world and all the classic aspects that are apart of the game. Really fun and entertaining to play!
