Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a huge Zelda fan, and although I was disappointed with a few of the newest handheld games (like TriForce Heroes), and I wasn't in love with Skyward Sword, this new Zelda game is epic. It is beautiful, fun, the story is great, and I love the use of amiibos and the controller itself for the Switch version. I don't know how the Wii version plays, but the Switch version is so fun to play around with.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a masterpiece of a game. We always knew that if Nintendo ever made a giant open world game that it would blow us away, and we were right. Everything about this game is impressive. The world is expansive and beautiful. The story is capturing. The characters are memorable. The music is enchanting. You won't regret playing this game.

Amazing game, so much to explore and do, game seems never ending and always finding something new to explore

I'm new to Zelda and gaming in general. I love this game. It's hard to put down. It's definitely challenging but it's an amazing world to get lost in. I love that even as a beginner I can find ways to overcome the challenges. I'm still in the begining levels and am having a hard time finding attire and armor but i still enjoy it a ton.

I've been around for every Zelda game but for whatever reason I never found them interesting. I decided to finally break the ice with BotW and quickly realized that I messed up never playing Zelda before. The story is great, the game is incredibly deep, and it keeps you busy. I don't have the time to sit down and play in long stretches, so this game will keep me occupied for months! Love that!

No words to describe this game. Simply incredible from start to finish. One of the greatest games ever made for any console. Open world map is gigantic, game play is nearly flawless, and you’ll find yourself getting lost in just roaming the land and appreciating the scenic graphics. 10/10 must play this game if you own a Switch.

This is great, they give you quest markers but for the most of the game you have to either explore, or talk to people to figure out what to do next. Open world. I would say its perfect mix of the original Legend of Zelda and Ocarina of time, with a very different weapons system. This has a very nice potion and food crafting system that is NEEDED to progress most quest and side quest. Love this game

Got this as a present, but having played the game myself when it came out , if I ended up on a desert island, and i could take only 1 switch game with me, that would still be this one. Countless hours of adventure, exploration and experimentations. This changed the Zelda formula, but it’s one of the best zelda games.

If you've always enjoyed the Zelda games, you can't go wrong on this one. It reminds me the N64 era but with a more Skyrim-like open format. If you haven't ever played a game from this series, this game is a perfect one to start with! My only complaint has nothing to do with the game itself, but the controllers. It takes a while to adjust to them. I actually enjoy playing it more like a DS.

I was so excited to get this game I'm a HUGE Zelda fan. This game is living up. My husband was not a huge fan of Zelda before, but the open world platform, and the ability to go do something else if the challenge is not something you want to do at the time is awesome. I've played for hours of entertainment, and still have tons to do. You get a huge bang for your buck. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

This is in my opinion one of the best Zelda games to date. The amount to do can be a little overwelhming, but assures that you will be playing this for a long time. The physics alone make this game groundbreaking and it doesn't hold you hand. It is the first time in a long time I have had to stop and think about what to do in a Zelda game. I highly recommend this game for any lapsed Zelda fans.

This truly is a candidate for game of the year. This is by far my favorite Zelda game I've ever played in my life. The open world environment allows you to pretty much do whatever you want take whatever path you want and discover whatever you want in any shape form or fashion. I would highly recommend anyone who loves open world games for Nintendo games in general to pick up a copy of Zelda.

Enjoy this title for everything it is. Complete open world with very little load times. Feel like going right to Ganon and seeing what you can do? Do it... Feel like getting a horse and travelling the country building up supplies, go right ahead. You will not regret this purchase. And now you can play it anywhere!

Great open world Zelda game. Hours and hours of content. Beautiful looking game.

Runs at a smooth 60fps on Switch 2 with no noticeable slow down in over 30hours of play time Well worth the Switch 2 upgrade

This is a joy to play! It's open world and provides just enough direction to know where to go but it doesn't stop you from exploring. If you go to an area that's above your level, you will be one-shot. The music is minimal which ties in with the plot of the story. I miss the music from Ocarina of Time but I like how this music matches the feel of the story. Definitely worth getting.

Fun game, open world, lots of freedom, great graphics, and also good story line

This isn't your standard Zelda game. It's open world with very little hand holding, which makes for an adventurous time. Expect to spend dozens of hours exploring and learning new tricks while you rescue Hyrule from Calamity Gannon. Easily the best game on Switch and one of the best Zelda games ever made.

One of the funnest video games I've played. Ever. Has a wonderful open world feel without taking itself too seriously like many RPGs do these days. It is like a mash up of Fable and Skyrim in that it's cartoony like the former but very deep in stuff to do like the latter. Combat is better than both and puzzles are very satisfying. If you can only get one switch game, get this.

One of the best games for the Switch, great gameplay and story.
