Although its always the same story and essentially the same characters, Nintendo manages to push out another banger. I haven't played tears of the kingdom yet as I still want to finish this one first. That being said, this is my favorite Zelda game so far. But I tend to say that with most of the big releases when they come out. (excluding those gameboy versions). This game is just massive in it's open world. Everything is essentially a collectible of some sort which you can use for cooking or some sort of potion to help with your quest. Or if you are like me, just hoard it all and try to max it all out. There are different outfits you can collect along the way to help you sneak, fight, swim, defend, and etc. Of coarse if you are reading this at this time, you probably already know all of this by now. If you don't and aren't sure and own a switch, well just get it already. This is a must for the system. If Nintendo games where all part of the Mafia and they had some sort of rank, this one would be a Don.

My favorite zelda to date. Massive open world, in depth story line with a multitude of side stories. Challenging puzzles and satisfying rewards leave me wanting more every time I play

The game is awesome. Expansive, will keep you busy and entertained for hours and days and weeks. It's not for everyone, though... it diverts from the usual Zelda 'holding your hand' recipe and instead slaps you with freely-roaming, no restricted objectives open world. Impressive and great, but only if you like NOT having to stick to a strict storyline and objective order and tackle the game in any way you see fit. If you've already played on the WiiU, however, and since you can't port your game save over, it's not really worth re-purchasing unless you really loved the game and wouldn't mind playing it all over again (it's MASSIVE).

The apparent love of the craft and attention to detail in this game speaks for itself. The only knock on this game is that amount of stuff to do is actually ridiculous, but a lot of the completionist checklist stuff is optional. Much of the story and gameplay feel relatively standard, but something about how it's all put together makes this game a lot more interesting to me thank other open world games like far cry and horizon zero dawn. Expect future open world games to borrow from this title liberally.

The scope of the game is massive and the world that has been built is really incredible. The amount to do is endless and the story part of the game is challenging but fun.

I was skeptical when critics started reviewing the game and it was getting perfect scores. I am giving you my opinion on this game as a portable game because that is the only way I play my Switch. This game is fun, great art style and possibly one of the best handheld games I've played besides Pokémon silver. My only criticism was the durability of the weapons but I don't mind it anymore because you always pick up new weapons so scarcity is not an issue. Controls take some getting use to but not a deal breaker.

Must play game on Switch. It's so good that I got the upgrade pack for the switch 2 and gonna play it again.

I own many games on the PS4, but this year I decided to get the Nintendo Switch. From all the recommendations across the internet, I decided to buy Breath of the Wild. This is my first Zelda game, and it did not disappoint. The game is a huge open world experience, with a multiple ways to play. From solving puzzles in the Shrines, to hunting chicken/boar, to farming goons for weapons, and use bombs to fish: there is always something for you to do. This isn't a game for kids, as it requires some thinking, but can be a great present for teens and up who own a Switch. Definitely recommend.

The best game I've ever played. I'm 36 years old. I have had nearly every game system ever sold to the public, including the TurboGrafx 16 and Atari Jaguar, so I'm pretty confident that I've played a fair amount of games and I can honestly say the breath of the wild is the best game I've ever played. I have nearly 240 hours into the game now and I'm about 85% complete. This game fills every gap that Minecraft left and it's open world survival experience. I am amazed at how much fun I have had playing this game.

Your mind will be challenged as you strategize in real time by bottlenecking enemies, solve shrines in multiple creative ways, and try to recover your lost memories. Pick up Breath of the Wild and join the growing community of adventures in this award winning title!

Full of mystery and wonder. This game grabs your attention right away with the story of link and the treacherous Calamity Ganon. Embark on a journey of epic proportions as Link and his task to learn about his past and save the princess Zelda.This game is pretty fantastic. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is really fun. It’s one of the only games I have played that throws you in with no reference on how to fight but once you learn there are quite a lot of possibilities for different combinations for moves! Try this game out it’s amazing!

This is the first Zelda game I have played and now want to explore all the history and the story behind the game. This game is filled with cool game design elements, awesome puzzles and brilliant combat mechanics. The open world and non-linear nature of the story does not put pressure on the player to do any specific task. Also, the game is filled with easter eggs from previous Zelda games. You can truly spend more than 100 hours in this game and still have some missions to complete or some items to find.

I've been a fan of the 'Zelda' games since the NES. I played the original game at a neighbor's house before I got my very own NES as a kid, and was immediately hooked. I've loved every game, and over the years, have definitely found myself more of a fan of the 'Ocarina of Time'-styled games in the series. This game takes hints and cues from all of the games in many ways, and nods to some of the lesser storylines in previous efforts. It's HUGE, a lot of fun, and can keep you busy for many hours. If you've ever played a Zelda game - and liked it - just buy this. Don't even think twice about it. It's a must-own!

I have fallen in love with so many aspects of this game so far. We have been Zelda fans forever and in my opinion this is the best one yet. I like the open world environment where I don't have to follow the storyline. I really like the subtle bits of humor and attention to detail. My only frustrated point is the weak weapon system. Weapons break too quickly and not enough slots for weapons. The real problem is I may have to get a second Switch so my wife and I don't have to fight over who gets to play.

I never thought I'd end up being so interested in geography, but in this game, every tree, every river, every mountain interests me. Unlike a standard game where there's one linear path to defeat the big bad, there is no linear path in this game (other than the very beginning). That said, I spent four hours just picking apples from trees. Then another two hours chopping wood. Then I realized there was a bad guy I had to beat and decided I'd have to cook my meals some other time. If you're into the open-ended exploration do whatever you want, this game is for you. TLDR; Game good. Waste lots of time picking apples.

There’s not much to say about this game since it speaks by itself. I thought Ocarina of Time was the best Zelda and still think it is despite the popular opinion, and the reason for it is because OoT had a much more memorable and varied soundtrack. Breath of The Wild might not have such thing, but it compensates with the story, graphics, gameplay, and everything else.

Good games are popular at the time they're released, but then the hype dies in about a month. Great games last longer because of better story or more online options to let people interact, but in about a year once again it's hype dies down and is only remembered by a small crowd. The best games never lose their replayability and last for generations as amazing games. THIS is an AMAZING GAME! Enough to give skyrim a run for its money, and then some! Nintendo, kudos to you. I was worried about your future, but based on this game combined with the great console the switch is, you have turned your luck around. Bravo!

The best game I’ve ever played since my childhood, you need to buy it.

I love this game. I just bought my son a switch earlier this month and saw a review for this game and had to have it. I've put in so many hours on it and it never gets boring. My son, who is six, is also obsessed. It's so well done and I can tell will be replay-friendly for years to come. The game is an amazing open-world game with a great story and fun characters. One of the best games I've played in recent years.

I have really enjoyed the time I have logged so far in the game. It was my main reason for purchasing a Switch (That and the rumor of a Pokemon Port) I have played most all of the Zelda games to date and this reminds me of all my fantastic Hyrule adventures. I have already explored what seems like a massive area and a lot of quests and side quests and I feel like I have only scratched the surface. Enjoyable and smooth gameplay, lots of things to discover and try, and a fantastic open world experience so far. Being able to switch play from the TV to the tablet has proven to something I do far more than I thought I would.
