Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best games I have ever played. This game proves you don’t need cutting edge graphics if the gameplay and story is awesome. Soundtrack is too-notch and characters are awesome. This game is very meditative with cool puzzles as well.

This Game is amazing and looks beautiful. I love how it looks on a big screen TV and I still think it is cool how you can take the game and play it on the go. It looks good on the Switch's screen however I find myself not wanting to do too much to advance the story while playing on the go. I do believe the big open world and how great it looks is somewhat sacrificed when playing on the go... don't get me wrong it looks just as amazing but I feel like it needs to be experienced on a bigger screen, but the idea that you can grab it and and go is still a plus obviously. The game reminds me of a cartoonish version of "The Witcher III" which is one of my all time favorite games. There is so much to do and explore, and i find myself like I did in "The Witcher III", where I am spending so much time just looking at the landscape and exploring different areas.

No matter what Zelda game you have enjoyed in the past, this one has something for everyone AND brings in that new generation of gamers with its open world concept not present since The Legend of Zelda on the NES. Do yourself a favor and get this game at the cheap price of $46 or whatever it is right now.

Works well game plays well very fun good game would buy again

VERY GREAT GRAPHICS. The game is open world concept and each activity is fun to do. There is also very great guides in game on how to do certain tasks such as cooking, gliding or gathering food.

I finally got Breath of the Wild and it is almost worth fetting the Switch for this game alone. The combat can be challenging but still very fun. Exploration is very abundant as the map is huge and you can climb anywhere. It also looks really good for a cartoony game and even better when hooked up to the dock.

The visuals and the atmosphere are unparalleled. The open world approach frees it up from some of the constraints that have frustrated me in previous Zelda games. It's fun. It's not without its flaws, but those are tolerable. Just a great game.

**The only Spoilers in here are time to beat and how to use a skill they don't tell you outright (that you have access to from the start)** So I've finished the game after doing a large amount of shrine searching (taking about 90 hours), and this game still has me coming back for more. The guys over at Nintendo really made this Zelda title a work of art. It's not too handhold-ie and not too vague that you have no idea what is going on; however, do expect to die a little bit until you "get it" but even before you get it, it's not so punishing that the game can become un-fun (see: the Dark Souls series / From Software titles). It's a great game, and I'll be playing it for a while longer (especially after Hard Mode gets released in a few months). P.S. If you get the game, you can Shield Surf by holding ZL, then pressing jump at the same time, and while you're in the air press A. It took me a while to figure this out and isn't stated anywhere unless you do certain things, but it is a skill you have from the start of the game. Good luck, I wish I could forget it all and do it again fresh.

All of the other reviews and recommendations of this game as a "must have" are correct. Great gameplay and fun on both console or a TV. Since you can't spend all your time getting bells to pay off Tom Nook (can you?) this is definitely one to add to your library.

Simply one of the best video games I've ever played in my life. I actually purchased a Switch after 6 years just to play BOTW. This adventure challenges you to think outside the box and encourages experimentation in ways that few other games do. The graphics look beautiful and the world is massive, with secrets at every turn. You can stall the main story as long as you want as you explore. Combat is supremely fun with varied weapons at your disposal, including bombs, arrows, spears, swords and even environmental effects. Easy to spend hours upon hours on this beautiful game!

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a breath of fresh air in the midst of all the games I've played this past year. The world in-game is the largest, and by far, most beautiful I've ever had the opportunity to explore in my 25 years of gaming. Exploration in this game does not feel like a chore either. It just feels natural to see something of interest off in the distance and then spend the next hour or so making my way there, taking care of random enemies and finding hidden treasures and secrets along the way. One of the things I love most about this game is that you're not overwhelmed with music: it's carefully peppered in for choice areas in the game to really add to the ambiance. Character designs are just top notch as well. Purah and Prince Sidon are just a couple of my faves. If you're a Legend of Zelda fan and you either haven't played or currently playing this right now, you need to remedy that and pick this gem up immediately. If you've never played a LoZ game before in your life, prepare yourself for one of the best games you've ever played and play this game!

As a Zelda fan, I didnt believe things could top my experiences from Ocarina of Time, or Skyward Sword or even Twilight Princess. I am happy to report: Breath of the Wild is an absolute masterpiece. 1) Exploration. It is massive, it is open, it is dangerous, and it is beautiful. You really feel one against the world in this game. There is so much to see, and nowhere you cannot go! Link is all over the place! From horses to flying to swimming, the exploration is on point. 2) THE WEAPONS! This game totally got this right. From awesome ancient Tron-looking weapons, to flame and thunder blades, to simple clubs and boomerangs, the weapons are so much fun to get and find new ones. 3) It is perfect. The only faults arent even the games fault, its the processing power of the Switch's fault. 10/10 would play 100 times and enjoy it each time

I love open world games and this really was the game for me. Never played a Zelda game before in my life but if you know the base of the Zelda and Link story then you’ll be fine. The graphics aren’t modern but more artistic which makes the game even better.

Started playing this with 3 of my friends and we are all in different areas and took different paths. The open world allows this in the game. We have told each other how great the game is and are all for different reasons. Long story short, love it

Traditionally, I would say Zelda titles are overrated. A beloved series, it often gets points for the title alone. This is the first Zelda game I have played that I feel truly deserves the scores it's getting. The sense of exploration and the fun puzzles truly help make this one of the best games I've ever played.

The hype is real if you're into exploring and adventurous battles. I shouldn't be typing this. Go to other gaming sites and see for yourself. You'll be playing for days, weeks, maybe a month's worth before completing the game. Recommend getting the DLC. The summer's DLC is great to add more replay value.

If you like explore a huge open world, this is defintely one you should play. Combat is a bit simplistic and there are some limitations to your abilities in terms of a stamina meter and weapon durablility but is overall defintely one of the greats

One of the best games I have ever played. It is exciting and allows for so much freedom in gameplay with a beautiful setting and story. It is quick to pick up, challenging enough to keep you on your toes, and an overall joy to play.

THE GOAT. ITS THE GOAT. ITS PERFECT. EVERYTHING PERFECT

This is one of the best Zelda games ever. If you have yet to play it and are a fan of the series, this is a must play. Definitely looking forward to the sequel. If you have never played a Zelda game before and are a fan of open world RPGs, you have to give this a try.
