Customer Ratings & Reviews

Breath of the Wild boasts incredible visuals, an epic story and a fun open world experience that is sure to please any fan of the franchise.

I have never played a Zelda game before, so I can definitely say I'm not a fanboy. But I do like the genre of adventure RPGs, and Zelda: BotW gets it right! It has just the right mixture of difficulty, open world exploration, and advancement. The puzzles in the shrines are lots of fun and give you a great break from the monster killing and exploration, but wandering around the world is definitely loads of fun as well. It's really beautiful and fulfilling to find new things. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes video games!

If you bought a Switch, chances are you already got this game, but if for some reason you don't, just get it. Seriously. It has near universal perfect reviews for a reason. The change to an open world aspect adapts really well to the world of Zelda; you can lose yourself in it for hours. I've played it for over a month, and I'm still discovering new things. The gameplay is amazing, and the music, although subtle, really blends well.

I never grew up playing the Zelda games at all so when I first saw this one release I jumped in and have had a great time. It does have a quaint approach to the gameplay where it doesn't feel as tight and rushed, you can take everything at your own pace. Just like more expansive games like GTA and Red Dead, if you can see it in the game you can go there. The presentation is wonderful and the graphics are wonderful on the switch. At home or on the road we have had a lot of fun playing this one.

Easily one of the best Zelda titles and probably the best game released in several years. The sheer diversity of things you can do in the game is almost overwhelming. You are given all the tools you need to beat the game in the first 2 hours and then let loose on an open world full of neat secrets and often brutal enemies. I've beaten every Zelda game in the franchise, but this one has killed me more than all the rest combined. I would definitely recommend this to my friends, and anyone else who's able to get their hands on a switch.

The Switch is by no means powerful for a desktop gaming system but the power lies in the portability of the unit and over the last two weeks forcing myself to re-think my gaming expierence and figuring out when and where I can game on the go. Zelda is a perfect blend of open world exploration while allowing you to take breadcrumbs from Point A to B if you want to go more linear route. This is a breathtaking game and you can play leisure or hard core and both seem to be fun. I'm going the slower route and loving every minute of the game.

This is the best Zelda game yet. The new open world with food crafting concept is just so much fun. I also like climbing things. Lots of trees and rocks to climb. Doesn't sound fun, but it is! :) The game gets you going right away with a handful of abilities as opposed to the old style of slowly getting them throughout the game. I really like that. Combat is fun too and you see the characters you love and remember. Buy this game!

Came fast, works great! I would recommend that you get the physical copy while you can.

I haven't been able to put this game down. I've played every Zelda game released and this might be my favorite. It's very open-world so there's a ton of discovery and hasn't gotten boring after a month of play. The fight and camera mechanics are also excellent. My only complaint, if any, is the climbing. You don't need to push or hold a button to climb something which means sometimes you climb something unintentionally and need to press a button to release; I think it should be the other way around. A must buy game!

Very good and good price bought it with nintendo switch switch

There's no hand-holding in this game and you just jump right in. The core of the game is exploring and adventuring, and you'd probably find yourself spending hours just roaming around and enjoying the scenery. Play-style is very flexible, quests can be done whenever, and the fun-factor is boundless. This game can easily take a couple hundred hours to "beat." Everyone I've shown Zelda to ended up buying a Switch just for Zelda.

It's an open world game which means you can explore anywhere the map allows. There's not really a set path to follow like other Zelda games. You can do things in the order you want to do them in. You can climb as high on the mountains as you want. You can choose to just hunt for sapphires and pick mushrooms all day to sell at the market. I'd give this game 10+ stars if I could. It's crazy addicting so make sure when you start it, you have a few days off from work. This is my favorite Legend of Zelda installment so far.

Love this game! So many adventures and different levels of skill needed. Provides hours of entertainment. Great visual quality and brings back fun memories of playing on various Nintendo softwares with my dad growing up. I bought this for myself (female, 35 yrs old) and this is “my” game in the house lol my kids sit and watch me play while yelling out tips. It’s really fun!

Well so far, I love the graphics, the open world concept, and the mechanics. I played open world concept games in the past, but holy *bleep*, this is the most open world game I’ve ever played. Unlike other games where it is, but the main story takes you from point A to point B, this one, you truly create your own path. My only gripe, I wish it was clear how to defeat more bigger, cumbersome enemies, but at least you can run away from em.

This is one of the best Zelda games ever made. The only issue I have with the game is that there aren't traditional dungeons. The other issue I have with the game is that weapons break after enough use which really isn't that bad. Despite those issues it's still an amazing game and what Nintendo did with the open world is amazing it truely feels alive.

I can honestly say this is this best open world adventure game. You start off by waking up from a deep sleep for 100yrs after hyrule was taken over. No clothes or equipment. The word is massive with so many things to discover and enjoy over time. Yes there is fps dip but barely and it's called updates via internet. Tablet mode does play slightly better than dock mode. Other than that. I love my switch more than any console as well as this game. And I have all systems. So not a Nintendo "fanboy" but definitely loving them again.

Great game. The open world is extremely nice and the story is great too. Combat system feels smooth as well.

While I'm definitely not finished with it just yet, even after only going through one "proper" dungeon, it's very clear that this is one of the greatest video games ever made. 40 hours in and I have zero desire to even progress in the story. And that's not a knock on the story, which is great and compelling, it's just that running and gliding around Hyrule is just too much fun. 5/5 10/10 100/100 Please check out www.timewearegiven.com for travel reviews of New Zealand Lord of the Ring locations (and hopefully more!).

Great game. Must have for switch owners. Great story, great gameplay. Plenty of things to do.

So much to do in this game. And it being open world was even more fun. Great story and characters.
