Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is drastically different from the Zelda games you are used to. At the same time it also is extremely familiar. The new gameplay mechanics and open world style, give this fantastic franchise a new direction while still respecting its rich history.

Originally bought this for my daughter who loved the open world nature of Mario Odyssey and then got to play BOTW at her cousin's house over the holiday break. She likes it well enough, but the puzzles are still a bit hard for her to get completely on her own, so she had me start playing it. And now I can't put it down. I'm not a classic Zelda fan, nor even open-world type games, but I really do like that this game can be what you want. If you don't want to fight some over-powered monster right now, go do other stuff for a while and come back to it later. Want to spend time exploring? Collecting? Completing side quests? Whatever. For me, pretty much perfect.

It’s been fun to play, the boyfriend needed a new game for his new switch & he’s already half way through it lol

For older fans of the Zelda franchise, who have been with the Zelda games from the old days of bopping around your pixelated character.., this is beautiful to see how far we've come. Great game, I definitely recommend..!

Amazing game!! So much to explore and do. Zelda series games from NINTENDO never disappoint! Even though this game is almost 4 years old since it’s release of March 2017, if you haven’t added to you switch library, put onto your “ must purchase list “

This game really is great and it can be separated into nearly two distinct games. The 'main story' portion is actually rather short compared to Zelda games of past, but the 'additional' content is extremely huge and plentiful, enough to be it's own game in itself. Is it great? Yes. Should you buy it? I highly recommend so.

Seriously, stop reading and buy this game. I am only sorry I could not give more than 5 stars. Just go watch some videos of it online to be sure, then buy it. The only important thing to add here is that it is not at all necessary for you to have played any of the past Zelda games to enjoy this game. It stands on its own.

I'm probably 40 hours in to Breath of the Wild and the hype is REAL! This is the best reviewed video game in history for a reason, and you're probably better off googling any major outlet's take on the game (IGN, Gamespot, Destructoid) than reading about my ramblings about how much fun it is to cook food and kill Guardians :P

Like most, Ocarina of Time is a standard I hold many games up to. Even after playing it nearly 20 years ago I can still remember how enthralling it was. Breath of the Wild recaptures that happiness. It's great to see the franchise reach those heights again.

What can I say? I've been playing the Zelda games since 1987. This one is a bit different, but I've probably played this more than any other game in the past few years. There's plenty of challenge if you want it. And if you don't, it's fun to just run around and explore.

As a casual gamer this title is perfect for me. I can just pick it up and play. Game world is expansive and I never get bored. Fun game!

excellent game. It's not just a game that you play once and be done with it. There are so many worlds and hidden challenges that will allow you to play over and over again.

I was very skeptical that this game was as good as the critics say. Then I realized I stopped playing at 5am my first night with it. It, like most Zelda games, are a bit of a slow burn in the beginning but I felt so much agency to do what I wanted that every time I pick of the controller I am discovering something new.

The Nintendo Switch's definitive game of the year, and Super Mario Odyssey isn't even available yet! After many years of scripted, linear Zelda titles, gamers worldwide are rejoicing in a Zelda title that offers little in-game direction, similar to the first few games in the series. A 30th anniversary title not to be missed!

Game has very nice graphics and eases you into game play by learning different things as you progress. Some things, like cooking, are not very clear and require trial and error. Game controls are easy to learn. This is a game for the long haul. I have made it not far of the plateau and can see it will be a long but fun game.

I love the game series! When this game was released it was all hype.. well I know why there was so much of it. Happy this came out.

The game features many upgrades and secrets. Frames never seem to be an issue and gameplay never freezes up. Awesome puzzles to earn hearts and stamina upgrades, but takes a long time (roughly ten hours) to really get a lot of heart and stamina upgrades.

If you feel like never going outside and love exploring the world that is Hyrule get ready to do just that. Link is back to rescue Zelda from Gannon once more. Puzzles, potions, monsters, climbing, swimming, gliding, and stopping time. You will definitely drain the battery life on the Switch... take it as a sign.

I bought this for my girlfriend along with the Switch, but we have been playing together and it has been a lot of fun. We take turns at each mission/checkpoint in the story line and it works out very well. This is probably the best full sized game (not arcade downloads in the eshop) that you can get for the Switch right now.

This game can't be described in a single paragraph. It is epic in both its story's scope and the sheer size of the world. I have spent hours with it and have only scratched the surface. It keeps pulling me in for more. If you have a Nintendo Switch, then this is a must by. Otherwise, you have to find a way to play this game.
