Love the game! I like that I can do whatever I want, regardless of the storyline.

I am very new to the Zelda franchise, so this was one of my first games, but it has been an amazing experience. Its open-world format and huge world gives enough to explore for dozens, if not hundreds of hours, experiencing a ridiculous amount of content along the way. Huge +1

This game is beautiful, and it knows that. There is virtually no hand-holding, something very surprising for a modern game of its type. This is a game that prioritizes exploration over pushing you through a story. 5/7

Excellent game, there's so much to do to keep you busy for a long time. Playing on larger tv screen can cause some visual lag during areas with high details such as grass fields but it never effects gameplay or combat

While that review summary might not be saying a whole lot, don't let that do this game a disservice. Breath of the Wild is a fantastic game that brings new ideas and a fresh take on open world RPG games that gamers and Zelda fans haven't seen before. Sure it has some drawbacks like some shoddy inventory management mechanics and a sometimes frustrating stamina system in game, but those mechanics shouldn't dissuade you from givnig this game a go.It's simply an experience that everyone should try. I'm not sure everyone should buy a Nintendo Switch for this game, but if someone owns a Switch they definitely should play this game.

I just started playing this game and I can’t put it down! The only thing I regret is not buying it sooner! Definitely a must buy if you own a Nintendo Switch.

It’s a great open world adventure game. If you like games like this, then this is for you. There is a huge world to explore, puzzles to solve and monsters to slew. I’ve been having a great time playing and would highly recommend.

3D Zelda games have been essentially the same since Ocarina of Time. This is the first game since that really mixes up the formula. It is beautiful, large and expansive and does not take it easy on you. It is a learning process but such an amazingly fun game

This game packs 100+ hours of fun. The level of detail and depth of the gameplay are amazing. The level of change this game brings to the franchise equals what Ocarina of Time brought to the table almost 20 years ago.

It took me a bit to get into this game. I don't care for the weapon durability, but outside of that, it's been an amazing experience thus far. You already know you're gonna get it if you get a switch, just add my review to the rest of them praising this masterpiece.

This is the first Zelda game that I've played and I am in love with it. It is stunning the open world is massive and there is no shortage of things to do. I also love that you can jump in to this game without playing any of the prior games and still understand what's going on.

This game is amazing and captivating. The gameplay is fresh and doesn’t hold your hand at all. It’s freedom at its best and the gameplay mechanics keep you engaged for hours at a time. I’ve lost track of time a few times just from being so wrapped up in this game.

I'm still half way or god knows how far i am but this game is absolutely amazing it's hands down on point in details and gameplay like I'm hooked/ I'll prob update when I finish but I'm comparing this as Witcher 3 good may not be the same for some but for me it's that good haha.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who isn't either a Nintendo fan or a Zelda fan. It really is as good of a game as most people make it out to be, but at the same time its not so good that it's going to attract new Nintendo and Zelda fans. What it does it does well, just nothing to drool over unless you're an existing fan. Don't get it twisted, those who aren't fans can hardly hate on this, it's not at all bad, it's just not like over the top good either.

This has to be the best Zelda game in the entire franchise. I would recommend buying this for the Wii U if you don't have the Switch yet but it's amazing to have with you on the go. The least amount of hand-holding I've experienced in a video game in a long time, very well done.

This open world new twist to Zelda is a great joy and a breath of fresh air for the series! Even though there are new mechanics that take a while to get used too it's very enjoyable and challenging game it kind of throws you out in the wild hince the name definitely in my top 3.
