A classic addition to the Zelda collection. This is such a beautiful and immersive world. Hours of fun gameplay that brings back many fond memories of playing Nintendo as a kid!

I love it! Instantly fell in love with everything about it. There’s so much to do! So much to explore! If you’re thinking about getting it, this is your sign!!

I've waited so long to finally play this game, and I wasn't disappointed. The open world is huge, with lots to do. Graphics are good. I've noticed that playing in handheld the game looks better then in tv mode. Overall get this game.

I'm enjoying Breath of the Wild so far. It's an incredible technical experience, with a lot of depth and content to cover. However, I would say that it's not by any means a perfect game, with a few tedious systems (cooking is repetitive and unintuitive, weapon breaking is a nuisance) and other, more grating aspects that drag it down some. I wouldn't say it's enough justification for a Switch purchase right now by itself, but if you're in the market for a Switch anyways, it's a great title. Just don't go in expecting perfection.

Switch version is the best. 60+ hours easy. Graphics are sharp and plays smoothly. Story is great as well. Kids love it since it’s their first Zelda experience.
Difference now is you can take this adventure anywhere. Buy it.

I beat the Witcher 3 and wanted to play another game to fill the hole it left in my life.
I had never played a Zelda game, but oh man this was a great ride. It's confusing to figure out how this world works in the beginning, but by the time you've completed all the shrines, other games just don't compare. The freedom of this game is astounding, see that rock? you can climb it. just so much you can do that other games don't let you.
I started playing Horizon Zero Dawn after this, and got frustrated that I couldn't do a ton of things Link could.
Worth a play for sure. My only gripe is I don't want to beat it because then it'll be over.

This game has set the bar to what an open world game should be like, every corner you go there is something to do or look for.
also if you dont like exploration, you just can follow the main quest line. plenty of things to do.

Excellent, my favorite Zelda game since Majora's Mask. Nintendo took a risk by doing a lot of things differently with this one, and in my opinion they all paid off perfectly.

Greatest game ever!!! Love the open world and exploring. It's so much fun. I can't stop playing it! It truly is breath taking with all the scenery that is display in the game.

This game is so awesome! A lot to do, I am still playing since I got it a few months ago. I will never get tired of it. Now they are adding expansions, and that makes it more interesting. Its open world too. It's an adventure.

Here's the thing, I'm not a self proclaimed Zelda fan, nor have I played every single game ever. However, my appreciation for this game comes from many things:
Pros:
- The vast open air, and how "accessible" the different regions are
- The customization of the character
- The rewards given for thinking outside the box
- The non-linear story progression
Cons:
- The vast open air; because everything is free rein it can be daunting
- The difficulty: Something will feel easy, but somethings will feel frustratingly difficult if ill equipped
Not writing a full review, because that's not my thing; these are just based on my experiences and what I want out of a game. Would I recommend yes, but I also warn, its an "investment" in time, since this game can be lengthy or distracting...

Gameplay and the story is largely engrossing. You won't want to turn off your Nintendo Switch and you will be glad you purchased one if for nothing else than for the ability to play this game

Great game. Open world to explore and lots of puzzles to solve as you proceed through the game. One of Nintendo's best games. Looks nice on the switch. Would highly recommend

I've been playing this game for 40 hours and I've only begun to scratch the surface of the game play. The world is vast, the story is gripping, and the world is intricate. This game is a must buy for the Nintendo Switch!

As a longtime fan of the Legend of Zelda series. I was looking forward to the series latest installment. And when the developers said that they wanted to break the “conventions” of the series as a whole. By asking themselves “what are some concepts that make up the Zelda series as as a whole?” And that question is definitely answered by the time. You play this are off into exploring every inch of Hyrule. It’s an amazing feeling to know that you can go anywhere. And aren’t held down by boundaries or characters telling you where to go. And the way you tackle situations and combat. Is also going to vary at times. But overall, it’s a must have for any Switch or even Wii U owner. And it’s a unforgettable experience. Which brings the series to new heights.
