Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is nothing but beautiful. Open world from start to finish. BUY THIS. GOOD JOB NINTENDO!!

Game is excellent. Has a couple of software frame hiccups on the Switch, but it's still excellent.

Breath of the Wild brings back that feeling that anything is possible in a game. There's so many ways to interact with the world, and exploring is its own reward. Link can climb on anything, but that doesn't make exploration easy. There's so much to see and do, and so many wrinkles and changes to the Zelda formula. It's really worth the wait.

Where to start...there's so much to this game. It's a MASSIVE open world game, where you can go at your own pace, perform quests, explore, go gathering..it's endless. From the fantastic game mechanics, to all the items and things you discover along the way. I just destroyed Gannon...and then went to a Wedding...all while wearing a Rubber Suit. The possibilities are endless and you'll spent countless hours of fun on this.

This is a fun and addictive game to play. Hard at times too.

One of the best games I've ever played. So much fun to explore, dungeon dive and solve puzzles.

Get ready to spend a lot of time with this one, which is a good thing, bit it doesn't feel like a Zelda game to me. More of a open world RPG with Zelda characters in it. The whole cooking food thing, swords and shields break etc adds to more of a strategic gameplay, but for me... Hitting an enemy, or a tree few times, throwing my weapon so it will break on the enemies face, basically PAUSING the game to grab another sword from my menu, repeat repeat repeat.. Got old quick. Maybe im too old school? I'll force myself to complete it just because I've beaten every other Zelda game on everything but the mess that was released on the 3DO, but after this, I want my old Zelda back. Everyone else loved it, I wanted to love it, but.. Meh, I like it. 3 stars is probably a more honest review from me, but I gave it 4 because I feel my bias is in the way. Were this not titled ZELDA, I think I would have been able to look at it more fairly.

Maybe the best game ever, certainly on the Switch.

Look with a series as old as Zelda it would be very easy for it to feel stale and boring - that is no where near the case with Breathe of the Wild. As with previous installations, the graphics are breathtaking and the introduction of the slate has brought a fresh element to the game. Gameplay is straight forward but the player has so much control over how to handle each situation that it feels great.

I've been a casual Zelda player (mostly playing my friends' games) so this is the first Zelda game I've ever owned. Wow. It's incredible. The world is *massive*. It's truly an open-world experience with dozens of beautiful, engaging locations to visit. The visuals are really stunning. The change from day to night; rainy to sunny are really quite breathtaking. It can get repetitive and it's a definite grind especially if you stave off completing the main quest, especially where the shrines are concerned. The gameplay itself is fairly straightforward. Combat can be challenging, but the real kicker are the shrine quests. Par for the course with Zelda games, there was a lot of YouTube involved with a good chunk of shrine quests.

Breath of the wild is a departure from the classic legend of Zelda gaming conventions. At the same time remaining faithful to its core elements. This is probably the most open world game ever, with no set path. You can explore, solve puzzles, fight, cook, hunt, tame animals etc. it's a great game any fan of the series or newcomer will enjoy.

This game is a perfect balance of gameplay, storytelling, ambiance and challenge. I have 40+ hours into the game thus far and can say, it is the best Zelda title there is, and I have played them all and loved most of them. Not only is it the best Zelda title, it is probably the best game I have played in my 30 years of gaming. It is absolutely amazing! Clear your schedule if you purchase it, you will live in Hyrule for a while.

I love this game. True Zelda feelings. But... I feel like it's hard to find certain quest features. But some people might like that. I kinda like to be easily pulled through the story. And this is a much broader approach. Very natural. Sometimes I like it. Sometimes I don't.

Great open world game. Play how you want. Graphics aren't photo realistic but are still gorgeous.

I have played Zelda since the very first one on NES and have played every title in the series. This is by far my favorite in the series. It doesn't hold your hand and lets you set out on your own to make your own adventure. I watched the Switch presentation and when Zelda was shown at the end I knew I was getting a Switch. The graphics and gameplay are in a league of their own. A masterclass in story telling. Highly recommend!

Great gameplay lots of fun. Can be very difficult. Does not disappoint

This is the most fun I have had playing a Video Game in a long long long time. I have thought I loved Zelda games before; turns out I just really enjoyed them. I have not been in love with a Zelda Game since the first 3. This is the closest to the original Zelda game ever. I want to write about this more but it would be a book... If you have ever played a Zelda game, and enjoyed it try this one out. I bet you will love it too.

Exciting, challenging, good story, and fun! I enjoyed playing it.

I've been a Zelda fan since I was about 3 years old and this game is definitely not as good as everyone says it is. But that doesn't mean it's a bad game by any means. I just wish they would have stuck to the game type it is instead of trying to branch out. It really hurt the game in my opinion. Breakable weapons is by far the stupidest mechanic in any video game and this games is by far the worst I've ever played with sadly.

Besides being zelda and it's great story the graphics are amazing and smooth.
