this game gave me chills the entire time i played it, the openness of the world is far more than i could have ever hoped for. when you think you've been everywhere in the game, you find a whole new area to explore. as soon as i beat it, i was immediately sad, because I could no longer experience it for the first time. simply put, this game is a masterpiece

I spent way too much time playing this game, it was great, fun and it was so entertaining all the way through.

The level of detail and depth of the game is fantastic. As long as you're a fan of the Nintendo "cartoon" style of gaming, you will love this. The character movement takes a little getting used to but after a while it becomes intuitive. There's tons of side quests and just general exploring to do. Hours worth of gameplay.

This is the first Zelda game I've ever played. In doing that, I've have a lot of fun with it. I think it's a great open world game, I haven't done the whole game yet, but I still have fun with it. Things are always catching my eye, and the story+side quests are entertaining at times. Overall I think it's a good game if you like openworld type games.

This game is both beautiful and fun. It's essentially an open world, RPG adventure game where you really get to choose how you want to play. The world, graphics, play style is amazing. If there is any question if you're on the fence of making this purchase (I was, and I usually wait for prices on games to drop), this is a game that feels like it is worth every penny.

Everything about this game is amazing. The combat, exploration, story, and I personally love the score this game has but I know some don't. This game is for anyone to pick up and play, you do not have to know anything about Zelda (but it would be great if you did) to play this game. Looking forward to the sequel!

For a launch title, Nintendo certainly out done themselves with such a well crafted, beautiful masterpiece that demonstrates the power of good programming using relatively weak hardware. Whether in portable mode or docked, you will get the same experience. A lot of people complain about the weapon breakage, but I found it perfectly compliments the combat system. While in the beginning you don't have much choice but to pick up whatever and use it to fight, later on, you will get to choose whatever that you prefer especially once you get to know the places that weapons respawn. One frustrating mechanic which I wish they would tone down is how rain affects climbing. But even that can be overcome later on with the correct tools. If you expect a story, there is not much here. It's like Mario where you know the end game before the game even starts - save the world and the princess. There is nothing more in the way and you can even go directly to the final boss without doing anything else! This remains one of the best games I have ever played and will likely remain so for a very long time untill, maybe, Nintendo can somehow trump this with the next Zelda game.

Absolutely amazing game. I am a fan of open world rpgs; Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, etc. I have to say this is one of the best of the bunch if not the best. Great story and lots of hours that you can put into the game. The only annoying thing is how quickly weapons break.

This was a Christmas gift for my hubby and he loved it. It is his childhood right there and then.

Breath of the Wild is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended. It is gorgeous when you stand on a hill top and look to the horizon. Wandering the open world is awe inspiring and frightening at the same time, you don't know what will be around the next corner. Enjoying every moment I get to play.

The open world, the graphics, the music, the story! Must have.

I haven't played a Zelda game in a long time and this game has made me wish I had never stopped. The game is a huge open world endeavor that has extremely detailed game play. Don't be put off though because it eases you in rather well. Just save everything you get and be prepared to cook.

Have you heard all of the hype for Breath of the Wild? Not sure if the game will live up to it or not? Well, I'm here to dispel any reservations you may have about the quality of the first truly open-world Legend of Zelda title. You can go anywhere in the game any time you want. You aren't beholden to following the main story/quest. No 2 experiences with this game are even remotely the same, which is something that makes it so great. There is also enough content that you can put in countless hours of gameplay without getting tired (I personally have, as of writing this review, logged over 170 hours of playtime, and I haven't even finished the main story yet). The gameplay is fun and challenging enough without being an absolute grind to do anything, and the graphics and in-game atmosphere are absolutely stunning. I've found myself on more than one occasion just sitting with the camera angled to watch a sunrise or sunset. It really is breathtaking. If you were on the fence about adding Breath of the Wild to your collection, take my word for it and pick this up today. You won't regret if you do.

I played a couple of Legend of Zelda games for the Nintendo 64 back in the day (Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask) and I was looking for the Breath of the Wild game thinking that it would match the preceding games in terms of quality and storyline. To this point I would say Breath of the Wild has exceeded the content of those games. It’s been a challenging game to play but I’m still having fun playing it. I’ve also been playing Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity which I believe is a prequel to Breath of the Wild and that’s a game I recommend buying too.

Great game with tons of hours of play value. It’s challenging but not TOO challenging. My 5 year old nephew loves it and I love it as wel. You can easily get a couple hundred hours of play out of it just exploring and interacting with the environment alone. The story line is very straightforward but the visuals and hidden things and “puzzles” throughout the game are great. For example you’ll see something at the beginning of the game, then down the line you’ll learn what you need to tackle that challenge. You earn these runes that allow you to interact differently with the environment and the different interactions usually result in different outcomes. So while it’s not all “what you do determines the outcome” it allows you to experiment and tackle obstacles differently and even manage the environment differently such as using ice blocks to climb a waterfall instead of finding a way up the mountain. Love this game :)

I have read a lot of reviews about what makes this game great and I agree with a lot of them. This game has a great story and an a open world where you can go straight to the final boss fight if you want to; but I don't recommend it. Because you will be hugely unprepared for that battle.

This is hands down one of my top favorite games of all time now. It is not quite the Zelda most people expect and I think that is a good thing. I think it gets a lot of things right, its open world, the variations in areas, the art direction, the music (or lack of), and the majestic beauty. A lot of people complain that the story is really bare, but I found that to be not true for me. I found that the story for me was the story that I created around what the developers had already put in. Getting distracted hunting a wolf, only to find myself at the edge of a cliff, with a shrine off in the distance and deciding to head there. On the way I discover some new fruit I haven't found yet and then stumbling upon a stable and meeting new people handing out side quests. Hours have passed at this point, and I still haven't made it to that shrine. This to me is how the story evolves throughout the game. It is what you make it, kind of like the most epic of choose your own adventure stories. I recommend it!

The legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is one of my new favorite games and it is family friendly as well. It is a little like dark souls with the difficulty curve but non the less once you sink half your life into it and think you are getting good it will stomp on your dreams like a quarterback. The game is tons of fun though just a little difficult sometimes.

This is hands down the best video game I have played in the past two years. For anyone that enjoys open world games or great game design this should be at the top of your list. Very easy to get lost in the world and not feel like you are wasting time but instead exploring a living world.

I have not really been into Zelda as much as the original on NES. This game reminds me of that time. The game throws you into the world with pretty much the freedom to roam where you want, similar to the original. With that free roam comes moments where you will encounter difficult characters who will kill you in one shot, similar to the original. Looks fantastic too!
