Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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.

I have been a long time Zelda fan. This game changes everything! The open world gameplay and choose your own adventure quest style are addicting. Highly recommend to anyone interested in trying the game out.

Absolutely amazing game. Switch 2 edition makes it even better.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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 best game I’ve ever played for all the years. It’s one of the most best seller and action games. The graphics are amazing and the story is very interesting.

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.

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.

This is by far my favorite Zelda game! I have all of them including TOTK and when I tell you nothing will replace Breath of the Wild I mean it! The quests, the animation, the puzzles. This game is incredible!

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.

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.

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.

Bought this game for my 7 year old son. I've played Legend of Zelda many long lost years ago and I remember how fun it was. Now, I'm the one playing this. Visually entertaining and story will draw you in. My son is stuck and doesn't want to turn off his nintendo.
