Full disclosure, I'm a 44 yr old father of 2 who is a lifelong Zelda fan. This ain't a "game" by any means, this is simply put, like being transported to another world. You can lose yourself easily, and I think thats what the creators had in mind when they developed it. As has been written in other reviews, the world map or playable area is absolutely MASSIVE and summons you to explore every single square inch of it. Fair warning, this is not a title that you can simply play for 15-20 minutes and get anything of note accomplished towards completion. Once you start this up you better have at least an hour to spare before getting to whatever else you have planned for the day. This is an absolute MUST BUY for any Nintendo Switch owner.

This is one of, if not the best games out there for the Switch. Very immersive and will keep you busy for a long time with a very expansive story and ability to roam and explore

One of the best games you can buy! Be warned that this will suck your life away with how much it has to do. Huge open world and a blast the whole time.

Despite being impressed with the new games produced every year, I find myself hardly playing any. I wasn't sure about picking this game up due to that reason, but on a hunch I tried it out anyway. This game is incredible. The ability to explore every object you see in the distance, and the new battle mechanics that don't rely solely on perfect timing in order to strike work incredibly well together. The quirky side characters in the story are very enjoyable as well, leaving me with a good time whether I'm merely climbing a mountain range I spotted in the distance or enjoying the main story of the game itself. I would certainly recommend this game for anyone that enjoys gaming, or finds them self interested in trying this game out.

Controls are going to be very difficult. Game will not give you many instructions. Pay attention to little things, gusts of wind, direction of son, were the birds fly, etc. This game is hard. Not a children's game. Never played Zelda before but needed a game for the system. It's really really good, but if you not ready you will hate it. Don't let if turn you off of the system. The game itself is fun once you get used to it. Just explore, forget the story till you are as strong as can be.

Obviously one of the best games out right now, of all time actually. Wide open world, great graphics, assume fight system, good story, etc. The only criticism i have is the controls can be a bit janky.

This game is crazy amazing. Open world Zelda like we've never seen it before. Graphics and story are amazing. If you've ever played Zelda before than you know it's gold. Easily game of the year 2017!

One of the most unique video game experiences I've ever had. This is a huge game that dares to expand the idea of what a Zelda game can be. Truly one of the best video games of the decade.

Liking this game really comes down to whether or not you like the mechanic that the weapons break down in my opinion. In the early game, you have to constantly be picking up weapons and dealing with them breaking in a few hits and it just created a lot of frustration with me and some of my friends. I acknowledge that it is a great, high quality game thus the 4 stars, but the weapon mechanics have taken a lot of the fun out of the game for me.

Plus. I like the open environment. You can spend many hours just exploring.
Negative. It wil be hard for beginners as the game doesn't give much direction.

This is hands-down the best Zelda game ever made. It's quite challenging, so I wouldn't recommend it as a first/beginner game, but for the experienced gamer it will be a fantastic experience.

Amazing game. Just absolutely brilliant. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Everything about it, from the controls to the gameplay to the world, feels perfect. Arguably my favorite game of all time.

I've been having so much fun with this! Turning Zelda into an open world game, even more than its ever been is literally genius! I love just traveling around, admiring the colors and the world.
