This is one of the greatest games in several console generations. The open world is vast, and there’s never a shortage of things to do. Would recommend to any game fan.
Can't decide if this or OOT is the best Zelda game

Bought the game at launch. Hated the new system especially the weapons that broke. Bought it again later on, played 300 hours so far and still going. Love this game.

A legend of a game for gamers of all experience levels-- Whether you are an avid lifelong gamer who enjoys adult games like Elden Ring, new to gaming later in life with no more experience than Stardew Valley, or a child, everyone can enjoy Zelda BOTW.

From the crafting, to the combat, to the breathtaking scenery, there is only everything to love about this game. I have been waiting for a sequel after playing Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword, Windwaker, and the Twilight Princess. I feel this game combines the very best of each and adds open world gameplay. A few minor issues such as framerate drops, lack of a recipe book, and item management do not detract from the gameplay or story. If you have played any Zelda game and enjoyed it, this game should be purchased ASAP.

I'm just scratching the surface of the game but it is great so far. Zelda games are always great ones to play. A lot of levels to explore and find hidden items. Really fun game.

They weren't kidding when they said this Zelda would focus on exploration - it's the most open ended game in the series since the original on NES (my personal favorite). A must play!

This game has a few flaws, and taxes the system when a large amount of stuff happens at once, but it hardly detracts from the game. It plays extremely well, and the story is amazing.

I have been loving this game over the past week. I've been playing since it came out and have spent more than 20 hours getting lost in the world. I would suggest this game to anyone!

You don't have to know any previous Zelda games. One of the best open world game ever, you'll get your money's worth (have put over 40 hours in and still going).

If you've played any other 3D Zelda game, you know this one is good. However, Breath of the Wild is something of a reboot where the differences lie in the enormous open world, disposable weapons, physics, and cooking which changes the healing system. Personally i think it's amazing all around and excecuted great. Also Breath of the Wild is quite a bit more difficult than previous titles, especially when you start out. There is less music in general, but it's replaced with ambient melodies and effects that make you really feel the surrounding area.
Con: in a few specific areas, usually the heavily wooded areas there is some framerate droppage.

This game is the best game I've ever played. First of all, it's so interactive. There are few things in the game that you can't interact with in some way. It's a big open world, which is so different from previous Zelda titles. I like it but honestly, sometimes the world feels too big, but don't worry there are plenty of shortcuts to get around this giant world. This game feels like a real life adventure like I've never seen in a Nintendo game. Buy the game, it's worth every penny.

I am a fan of the Legend of Zelda games and have been playing since the SNES. This is the best Zelda game I have played. There is lots to do and explore. Definitely recommend.

It's hard to review this and say anything negative about it. The weapon breaking concept sucks, but theres so much else that makes up for it that it's truly a masterpiece.

Best Zelda game since The Windwaker. Best open world game I have ever played. If you can't find or afford a Nintendo Switch, but own a Wii U, then buy it for that. It's a must play.

Really good game. Once you are a couple of hours in it gets very open-ended and choose your own adventure style. Can get tough if you wander too much, but never where you get stuck.

While the style of the game may be alienating to long time fans of the series. The overall game play and story is a welcomed addition to the Zelda franchise
