Customer Ratings & Reviews

Strong and emotional storytelling. Beautiful open world. Enjoyable combat system. Lots of detailed exploration. I can’t say enough good things about this fantastic game. Highly recommended for anyone who loves open world exploration and third person action/adventure. Worth every cent.

This game is truly amazing and by far the best installment out of the entire series! The story is engaging, the graphics and gameplay are top notch with plenty to do to keep you playing for months on end. If you’re on the fence about buying a Nintendo Switch, you could buy it simply for this game alone and never be disappointed.

This is an amazing game. It exceeded my expectations even when I was hyped for it months in advance. I am an avid zelda fan and enjoyed how different and open world BOTW was. My only regret is finishing the game. I put over 160 hours into the game and still play here and there. I see huge replay value in this game. I will be keeping it for a long time!

This game is fantastic! All the reviews are very valid about this game. My only regret is buying from best buy. The game was advertised on sale but did not mention a sale period. I asked online chat support when the sale ended, and they said I had a week (until the following Saturday). The next day the game was back to full price and the sale had ended. I had this along with 3 other games in my cart which all were back to full price. Customer support could do nothing for me about honoring their own misstatement about the sale period. I got lucky that other competitors happen to have the previous sale price at the time I contacted BB about this problem so they price matched me. The other games were not on sale anywhere so they could not price match me or honor their own statement. I should have just purchased from the competitor and not given BB my business. I will not going forward because that is horrible practice to not honor your own statements.

This game is extremely fun, even for those who aren't fans of the Zelda series. the fact that you can complete objectives in whatever order you please, or just spend hours exploring Hyrule, makes this one of the best games available on Switch!

Growing up as a child, Zelda was on of the first games that I ever played all the way through and beat. Since then, the Zelda series has always brought adventure into the game. If you're a huge fan of Zelda, you need to grab this game. New to the Zelda series? You won't regret your purchase. Rich story, and awesome game play.

phenomenal sandbox game with loads of variations in play. caters to all skill levels. limited gore, but simulated violence is present (something to consider for younger players). cumulative and utilizes endless approaches to problem solving/ puzzle solutions. really enjoyable playthrough!

I have only played it for about 5-10% of its size. In my very limited gaming experience, my favorite type of game used to be combat racing. Zelda (Breath of the Wild) may have changed that for me. I love the technical side of it. The sound makes me feel like I am there, in nature. The only part that I don't like about it (and it's not Zelda in particular, but these types of games) is the complexity of things that you acquire, the large number items that you can have in your inventory and use to cook, for example. I repeat that my video-gaming experience is limited, but this title has redefined my expectations of what is possible in terms of beauty, art, direction, and technics, especially on such modest hardware as the switch. I purchased the game and tried it because of hearing people about the experience of it being special, and it did deliver; now Zelda holds a special place in my heart too!

From the beautiful open world, to the story and sound track, Nintendo held nothing back for this game. Definitely recommend for any switch owner for their library, and it deserves all of the scores and praise it's been getting. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to my game.

BotW offers a huge, dynamic open world to explore, with many things to do and discover. The shrines and temples offer lots of puzzles to solve, and while the game starts off very challenging as you progress it can be as easy or hard as you want it to be. And the characters/story while a little on the lean side got me emotionally invested nonetheless.

This is the open-world Legend of Zelda game that all diehard Zelda fans have been waiting for. Because of the open-world aspect, some may not like the game because it can feel less linear than previous Zelda titles, but I like it because it makes the game feel much longer and encourages adventure and exploration. And this Zelda game world that Nintendo has created is so rich, detailed, and breathtakingly vast in size that players who do not take the time to explore the game world are missing out on the majority of the game, and what is, in my opinion, the best component of it. I would consider this game as one of the best that I have played this decade, and for any Zelda fan especially, it is a must-have game. I got this game as a gift from my girlfriend, then after playing it for a few months, I went out and bought the game for my younger brother, who is also a serious Nintendo fan, because he wasn't sure if he'd like it or not. He's been playing it non-stop since then. I have it for the Wii U and my brother now has it for the Switch; I haven't noticed any differences between the two versions. However, if you have neither system and you call yourself a Zelda fan, this game is, in my eyes, a good enough reason to buy a Switch.

This is easily the most stunning achievement in video games in a while and really captivates the player immediately and encourages exploration. Although not 100% perfect, it comes pretty close and is absolutely essential for any switch owner. Frame rates stutter occasionally and are especially bad in some areas, but do not hinder game play in most cases.

If you're a Zelda fan, this is one game you don't want to miss. Action packed, excellent backstory and dialogue. I guess I am a bit biased being that I've always been a fan of the Zelda series on Nintendo. You won't be disappointed. Endless quests and side quests to keep your interest sparked.

Great game, excellent story, graphics could be improved, but great graphics overall. The controls are responsive and we'll balanced. The DLC is a plus but not needed to enjoy the game to its fullest. If you are a fan of Zelda, this is one that you need to add to your collection.

You already all know what Zelda is. With this latest entry, the team did a great job of building a living, breathing world with hundreds of details and distractions everywhere you turn. Hunt, fish, explore, seek treasure or rare hidden enemies with powerful rewards. Dont take my word for it, pick it up and check it out! You won't regret it! :)

Breath of the Wild is a must have and play game for the Nintendo Switch. Beautiful visuals. Excellent controls. Great depth and adventures. Lots to explore and unlock. This is the game that brought me to the Nintendo Switch and is keeping me there for the long haul! Highly recommend for any age, include old gamers like me (ahem, 45+!).

I didn't want to review this till I'd had some time to play it, and I knew the game, and now that I'm 45+ hours into the game (according to the Switch)...I still don't feel like I can definitively say I *know* this game. There's just so much to do and see and explore and fight and oh my god it's dangerous. 'Just one more shrine' turns into three shrines, a tower, and a tussle with some Guardians. There are plenty of side quests, and puzzles, and while yes, it's light on 'temples' or 'dungeons' compared to its predecessors, trust me, if it's boss fights you're looking for, the mini-bosses will find you in the overworld. If it's puzzles you want, the shrines have you covered. It's *different* from past Zelda games, but that's not a *bad* thing. I love this game, and I forsee many many many *many* more hours of gameplay in my future, especially with the first of the 2 DLC packs out now. If you're a Zelda fan, I recommend it. If you're *not* a Zelda fan, this may convert you to the team! (No joke...I had a friend over a few weekends back, and introduced her to the game as someone who'd never seen a Zelda game before...she apparently played all said nearly 9 hours from the time I turned it on, to the time I woke up the next morning!)

I'm pretty sure it will get argued, but this is now easily my favorite zelda game of all time. Really fun. The only tiny tiny complaint, is that I could argue that the main quest line the whole time.....not terribly high on the difficulty. I was really hoping they'll add something later like a "master quest" or a hard mode. Then it would literally be perfect

I absolutely love this game. Its complex but easy to undestand at the same time. The amount of hidden items, and stuff to do is outstanding. Been playing it everyday since i bought it and i am not even 50% into the game. Its graphics are very good and the story is simply excellent. Every switch owner should play this.

I skipped this game (and the Switch altogether) 6 years ago because I didn’t think the Switch was a better system than the PS4 and XBox One I had. I also got so caught up in the graphics of the other consoles, that I missed out on the wide open gameplay of Breath of The Wild, and the overall fun Nintendo has given gamers for years. So when Nintendo announced the Tears of the Kingdom Switch, I immediately thought to give this game a try, boy did I make the mistake of passing up this game 6 years ago. I highly recommend that you play this game before you play Tears of the Kingdom, and if you’re on the fence about a Switch… get one, and buy this game!
