Customer Ratings & Reviews

BOTW is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. The first 50 hours of exploration is some of the most fun I've had had. However, there are some issues with the end game: the bosses become rather easy after you get used to the game and have good equipment, and the dungeons, instead of increasing in difficulty, actually get simpler and less well fleshed-out. Nevertheless, with the master mode DLC (and the yet to be revealed DLC2), there's plenty to do after you've beaten the game. Just don't expect it to be like previous Zeldas, and you should have a great time.

Combines the open-world of a sandbox with the story and enemies of Zelda. The dlc adds a new level to the story too.

Awesome game, I still have not completed the story, there is so much to explore.

This has to be one of the greatest Zelda games ever made. It has great game play, graphics, sounds, and en engaging story.

Nintendo has traded a few long complicated dungeons for a lot of smaller dungeons focused on one quick puzzle. All of these are on top of a gigantic open-world. All weapons seem to have durability and can break, but there's no shortage of weapons you will find while playing through the game. While this is annoying at first, you quickly get used to it and ultimately get to experience a lot of different weapon types that you may have otherwise ignored.

I have 175+ hours on one save file of this game. You will get your moneys worth out of this game. It is my second favorite game of 2017 and I just recently replayed it again a few months ago. I bought this as a present for my sister so she can enjoy the game as well. There are no words that can aptly describe the magic of playing this game the first time. Do not ruin that experience with guides and videos unless you need help problem solving a specific part. Relax and enjoy the world Nintendo developers crafted.

This game has incredible graphics and such a dynamic story line. For life long Zelda fans to new beginners, this game is perfect

This is honestly the most addicting game ever. I love how much you can do, and the graphics are amazing. I love living in this world!

A+ Zelda game and if you own a Switch it is a must buy for it. Tons of content and unique items and locations to discover. Highly recommended!

Last time I played Zelda was on the Super Nintendo in the early nineties. I bought the Switch primarily as mobile device. Haven't hooked it up to the TV since I got it and I'm just blown away how great that game works and looks on the Switch. Don't compare it to a "real" console - it is a handheld that can be connected to a TV. Zelda itself is a great value and you can easily sink 150+ hours into this game. You definitely miss out if you don't get it if you are slightly interested in this kind of game. You got a Switch? Grab Zelda. These two go together perfectly.

Zelda is a game I have enjoyed for years. The latest installment has better graphics, interesting worlds and familiar characters. The controls take a little to get used to on the Switch as it plays more like a PS4 control with varying camera angles and independent controls. A fun new world to explore.

Amazing Zelda game. Open world, endless puzzles and secrets to discover.

Simply amazing. So much to do. Even when you "finish" the game, there's so much more to do. 100% completing it will have you playing for endless hours.

You have to buy it there’s so much to do the story is great love all the new features but still has that old Zelda feel. Best game of 2017 for me

Even though the game is limited by the Switch hardware, that doesn't stop this game from bringing innovative elements to the open-world genre. For one thing, I love how it does not handhold you. There is a bit of a tutorial at a beginning, but it's largely hands-off and after that, you're basically free to explore. Most open-world games plop a waypoint on the map and tell you to go to that spot. However, in this game, you get to set your own waypoints. The way the game gives you agency is what puts it above all other open-world games.

I do not say something like this lightly as there have been so many good Zelda games in the past, but Breath of the Wild is without a doubt the best Zelda game I've ever played and one of the best games that I've played in general. I would say more, but all of the fun in BotW comes from discovereing all the different nuanced mechanics and details that it offers so do yourself a favor; buy a Switch (or a Wii U I guess), buy Breath of the Wild, and explore!

Soooooo addicting. Very easy to get obsessed with this game. Graphics are great. Fun action. Very immersive world and experience. Good fun.

I have been a huge fan of the Zelda series since the days of the NES and every entry since then so I know the series very well. Even though my love for the series never faltered, I think that Nintendo made the correct judgement when they decided that it was time to shake things up and the result is amazing with exploration feeling exhilarating, the combat is rewarding, and the new ideas just work.

I have never been a fan of of the Zelda franchise and have only tried a few of the past games on different systems. Never drew my attention. I picked this title up because, as of this review, there are not many games available for the Switch. I'm so glad I gave it a try. This game is fantastic! It's an open world game with side missions and a main quest. This game is along the lines of Fallout and Elder Scrolls. It's a perfect companion for the Nintendo Switch on the go and on the tv. This is a must have title. No need to be a Zelda fan to enjoy this game.

So once you have found a Nintendo Switch (they are in short supply because of Covid 19) at a not so inflated price, then according to my teenage girls the game Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a 'must have'. I found it at Best Buy - my go to place for anything electronic - and they had it in stock at my local store for kerbside pickup. Although I have not played it myself, the game is visually pretty stunning and takes a while to do from what I can tell. I would recommend it.
