Customer Ratings & Reviews

Is very skeptical to think that an open world Zelda game will work. But I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't really picked up a Zelda game since the wind Waker on the GameCube. And they sell the game is just as good if not better. Hours of fun to be had with this version of Zelda

Breath of the Wild is indeed a Breath of Fresh Imagination from the devs at Nintendo. It takes every mundane trope from all 3D Zeldas before it (e.g. strict linearity, relatively small/closed-world maps, and few side quests/side-content) and reinvents them all to such great success. It's the best composition of elements from Sandbox and Dungeon Crawlers to date and many games like God of War 4 as well as Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot take heavy inspiration from it. That said, the lack of structure defined by the game that is not explicitly shown to the player in a sequential manner can result in a lot of meandering around the massive map trying to figure out the best course of action, which can cause the player to become lost without a guide.

Beautiful game with so much content. Puzzles everywhere, a whole world to explore, incredible amount of gameplay. I'd never played a Zelda game before, and my expectations were blown away. Highly recommend

This game is a true open world with no hand holding. You start with the entire map at your finger tips. There is a steep learning curve at the beginning of the game but once you get past the great plains you are introduced to one of the best adventure games Nintendo has created!

Seriously you can do just about anything, if you see a hill you can climb it the only downside is weapon durability these things break faster than a 10mm in fallout faster than a fusion core burns out lol, but it’s wonderful and Mipha for the win.

OMG. So I was not thinking the little o switch would pull it off. best game ever. I already have over 120 hrs and have not beaten it yet. sooo much in this game its ridiculous. And the dlc has not even released yet.

Great Game, buy this first when you get the switch. I say this because it is very fun, story driven without too much lore pushed in your face, and not at all linear. if you're buying a nintendo switch, get this game first if you have to have a choice. i love LOVE this game!

When I say there’s a fault it’s only one thing. I don’t like the fact that your weapons/gear degrades so quickly. I would like an option to repair items. But other than that, this is one of the best adventure games I’ve ever played. Beautiful and extraordinary gameplay.

My daughter had it and needed me to help her out. Dang it, I got hooked. Love the puzzles and very open play style. More fun than I remember having on some of the previous Zelda adventures, and really like it on the Switch.

Having previously written Nintendo off, I took a chance and got the Switch along with Zelda -- and it feels great to be back. Zelda is open world this time around, and it truly just works, feels right, and keeps me wanting to play when I get the free time. A must own on Switch!

Great open world game. A lot to explore without being restricted to strict pathways. Wonderful adaptability to player where there are multiple ways of solving shrines/puzzles. Many optional features to enhance gameplay like horse/creature riding, korok seeds, shrines, etc.

What can I say about this game that others haven't already? A++, a staple of owning a switch. I've no idea anything about Zelda other than this and I still adore it.

This game is really an amazing iteration in the Zelda franchise. Bigger than Sky rim, with awesome mechanics difficult enemies, and really cool puzzles. Only con in my mind is the fragility of weapons and how often they break. But there are so many around it isn't a huge deal.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch is an absolute masterpiece! Impeccable graphics, immersive gameplay, and vast open-world exploration create an unforgettable gaming experience. The storyline is captivating, and the freedom to explore is unparalleled. A must-have for any gaming enthusiast, offering countless hours of adventure and sheer joy. It truly redefines gaming excellence!"

I originally purchased this game for my Wii U and have recently repurchased for my Switch. It looks great on my Switch with the 1080 output (compared to the 720 Wii U)! Great story and game that will have me entertained for hours.

Daughter loves the game and has been playing for hours. The graphics are great and great storyline. Would buy again. Now I am going to have to get Zelda 2 when it comes out very soon.

This is one of the best games offered on the Nintendo Switch. The open world format allows for a really custom gaming experience and true freedom to roam. Not to mention the graphics are amazing and crisp.

I've never had the opportunity to play a Legend of Zelda game entirely like I have this one. I've completed the entire storyline plus the side quests....still I keep coming back. It's beautiful and incredibly hard to put down. A must buy for open world gamers.

Simply put it’s the best game I’ve ever played. The less you know going into it the better. It’s just that fun to explore.

I've followed this game since its first reveal in 2014(?) and was so excited when it was released in March. Finally got my hands on it last week and it's a miracle that I am spending the time reviewing it and not playing. It is such a breath of fresh air to be able to go and do anything, but they have found a way to not make it daunting. I've never been able to get too far in either of the Xenoblade games because they have just seemed TOO big. The combat and controls are great and the world is full of life. I have loved every minute, even when I get stuck on a puzzle, because I know that that I have the skills (in-game, at least) to do it. I don't want it to end, and I still feel so far from the ending if I'm able to do everything.
