I loved the open world direction the series took in BOTW. The world is alive and full of things to explore and do and multiple ways to defeat enemies and bosses. This is simply a must-have for your switch collection.

Get this if you have any interest in open-world exploration and discovery. I've played 15 hours and barely scratched the surface. Just having fun wandering around, finding treasures, and fighting enemies.

BotW is a fantastic open-world game with a great story, beautiful setting, and fun gameplay.
Hunting, gathering, battling, exploring, solving the shrine puzzles, completing quests - there's so much to do.
Highly recommend

Great title. You can spend a lot of time in this game. Lively world, great for casual and hardcore gamers. If you have a switch, this is a good title to purchase no matter what other games you may have.

This game has been in the works for a long time, but the wait was worth it. This game is the most immersive Zelda game yet. There is so much to do and the story line is great as well. Must have for any Nintendo fan. 10 STARS!

First Zelda game, I purchased it for my kid and can honestly say the horst gameplay is better than all those horse games on Switch... Some of the temples you need to go into required me to complete so the kids could move forward in the beginning but they are learning and doing alright for themselves now.
I would recommend this to a friend

Easily the best game currently available for the Switch. The open world format is amazing and the game play is flawless.

I have been playing this game for some time now and the graphics in this game is great and the scenery in the game is amazing and the story line is pretty good.

Got this for one of my boys and he loved it. Great graphics and throwback nod to old Zelda games. Love the open world format.
Only thing is that it is a short game especially for the cost. This new console version of Zelda now follows in the same steps as "other" console games where you buy into Season passes (which are only gimmicks to spend more money of what could have been included especially to help in marketing a new hybrid console/handheld). But both my boys love the game so....

Any zelda game that comes out will be a big hit. Recommend anyone who loves free roam games and puzzles and dungeons to explore. Hours of playing for this game for sure!

The game starts off slow but then gets really interesting once you past the first few areas the amount of places to explore and The items that are one is able to use is great. Great Game

I recently bought this game as I am new to Zelda but have always heard a lot about it. I am so happy I made this purchase. The story line is interesting and the gameplay is incredible.

5/5 Stars, a truly great game. NOT in my top 5 Zelda games, but that speaks for the quality of the series.
I highly recommend the game. It is great and the feeling of exploration is grand. Something that can only be captured by the Zelda franchise.
Contrary to other reviews, the game DOES have flaws. It's just... They are so minor while the rest of the game is so great. There is plenty of literature out there with full reviews. I highly recommend you purchase the game if you like ADVENTURES and LONG PLAYTIMES. If you like brief stories... This isn't for you. The amount of time required to get to and beat the first boss of the game is about the length of an average FPS story mode. If you are looking for big 'splosions and long cutscenes of exposition, stay clear.

If you like Zelda games, you'll love Breath of the Wild. Awesome open world, amazing gameplay, and the art direction is fantastic. Can't say enough good things about this game. A must-have for the Switch.

I’ve been a Zelda fan all my life. This game execution is incredible Is the longest game in Zelda history. Really enjoyed the open world. Which you have the option to go anywhere and play the story your own way.

This is a wonderful game, allowing a completely open world platform, visually stunning experience. Zelda gaming has certainly grown up from 2D platform NES days. Time bring a classic favorite to new technology.

Best game ever made! The first play through this game is an experience that can’t ever be recreated. The world is huge and oppressive especially at first. Then it opens up and constantly tugs at your curiosity. The puzzles are clever but more bite size than previous games in the series. But there are so many of them. The only thing that compares is the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom.

I am not a LoZ fan by any means but you know you'll have a good time when you grab one of these games. This is a very vast open world game with lots of re-playability. I had completed it on wiiU but since I now own a switch, I had to have and now complete with all the DLC. I felt great making this purchase because I ordered it online to pick it up and it was there at the store within the hour just as expected (even when the guy up front told me it wasn't there yet, I showed my proof that I got the "order is ready to pick up" message and he went to dig deeper).

The modern formula for what makes a game grand is the openness or the jam-packed amount of activities placed within a fully-realized world. The Legend of Zelda BOTW is no different, offering hundreds of hours of gameplay where the player feels compel to check every crevices for hidden secrets and koroks, and rewarding the player with a sense of growth and accomplishment. What makes it stand out from the other open-world action RPGs is its ability to take the player through a nostalgic feeling of the N64 days and yet blow a breath of fresh air with new mechanics, puzzles, and lore.
