Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is a true open world with no hand holding. You start with the entire map at your finger tips. There is a steep learning curve at the beginning of the game but once you get past the great plains you are introduced to one of the best adventure games Nintendo has created!

OMG. So I was not thinking the little o switch would pull it off. best game ever. I already have over 120 hrs and have not beaten it yet. sooo much in this game its ridiculous. And the dlc has not even released yet.

Great Game, buy this first when you get the switch. I say this because it is very fun, story driven without too much lore pushed in your face, and not at all linear. if you're buying a nintendo switch, get this game first if you have to have a choice. i love LOVE this game!

Having previously written Nintendo off, I took a chance and got the Switch along with Zelda -- and it feels great to be back. Zelda is open world this time around, and it truly just works, feels right, and keeps me wanting to play when I get the free time. A must own on Switch!

When I say there’s a fault it’s only one thing. I don’t like the fact that your weapons/gear degrades so quickly. I would like an option to repair items. But other than that, this is one of the best adventure games I’ve ever played. Beautiful and extraordinary gameplay.

Breath of the Wild is indeed a Breath of Fresh Imagination from the devs at Nintendo. It takes every mundane trope from all 3D Zeldas before it (e.g. strict linearity, relatively small/closed-world maps, and few side quests/side-content) and reinvents them all to such great success. It's the best composition of elements from Sandbox and Dungeon Crawlers to date and many games like God of War 4 as well as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot take heavy inspiration from it. That said, the lack of structure defined by the game that is not explicitly shown to the player in a sequential manner can result in a lot of meandering around the massive map trying to figure out the best course of action, which can cause the player to become lost without a guide.

Seriously you can do just about anything, if you see a hill you can climb it the only downside is weapon durability these things break faster than a 10mm in fallout faster than a fusion core burns out lol, but it’s wonderful and Mipha for the win.

Great open world game. A lot to explore without being restricted to strict pathways. Wonderful adaptability to player where there are multiple ways of solving shrines/puzzles. Many optional features to enhance gameplay like horse/creature riding, korok seeds, shrines, etc.

This game is really an amazing iteration in the Zelda franchise. Bigger than Sky rim, with awesome mechanics difficult enemies, and really cool puzzles. Only con in my mind is the fragility of weapons and how often they break. But there are so many around it isn't a huge deal.

Beautiful game with so much content. Puzzles everywhere, a whole world to explore, incredible amount of gameplay. I'd never played a Zelda game before, and my expectations were blown away. Highly recommend

My daughter had it and needed me to help her out. Dang it, I got hooked. Love the puzzles and very open play style. More fun than I remember having on some of the previous Zelda adventures, and really like it on the Switch.

I've followed this game since its first reveal in 2014(?) and was so excited when it was released in March. Finally got my hands on it last week and it's a miracle that I am spending the time reviewing it and not playing. It is such a breath of fresh air to be able to go and do anything, but they have found a way to not make it daunting. I've never been able to get too far in either of the Xenoblade games because they have just seemed TOO big. The combat and controls are great and the world is full of life. I have loved every minute, even when I get stuck on a puzzle, because I know that that I have the skills (in-game, at least) to do it. I don't want it to end, and I still feel so far from the ending if I'm able to do everything.

I've never had the opportunity to play a Legend of Zelda game entirely like I have this one. I've completed the entire storyline plus the side quests....still I keep coming back. It's beautiful and incredibly hard to put down. A must buy for open world gamers.

I originally purchased this game for my Wii U and have recently repurchased for my Switch. It looks great on my Switch with the 1080 output (compared to the 720 Wii U)! Great story and game that will have me entertained for hours.

Bought this game for my 7 year old son. I've played Legend of Zelda many long lost years ago and I remember how fun it was. Now, I'm the one playing this. Visually entertaining and story will draw you in. My son is stuck and doesn't want to turn off his nintendo.

I'm taking a lot of flack from friends because it took me 20 hours to get out of the first area, but I was going for completion. Then I got into Hyrule... And the map is HUGE! I see several hours of quality game play in my future. Definitely worth the money.

This is the game that got me into gaming! I never played video games as a kid and didn't have much interest, until a friend had me try this. Extremely obvious take--it's incredible and everyone loves it for a reason. Engaging storyline plus the ability to do whatever you want, whenever you want makes for a pretty incredible experience. I have recommended it to several other non-gamers I know and all have enjoyed it!

This is one of the best games offered on the Nintendo Switch. The open world format allows for a really custom gaming experience and true freedom to roam. Not to mention the graphics are amazing and crisp.

This is the reason i bought a Switch for and i don't regret it one bit. This is probably my favorite videogame of all time. Completely open world endless amounts of gameplay. A must have for any video game fan.

30+ hours in and I've only done a handful of missions. I can't help running around exploring. Graphics are beatiful and combat is very smooth. Story is amazing so far and all the cute scenes are gorgeous. Also love that you can change voices to Japanese with subtitles.
