Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is the best Zelda game so far… but Tears of the Kingdom is only right behind.

As a parent who had over time outgrown gaming, I struggled to find a game that I felt I could enjoy with my 10 year old son. Yes, Mario Kart is a staple but I was looking for a more engaging game that we could collaborate on. Zelda BOTW had given us this opportunity. We don't play it endlessly...a couple of hours every other day is as much as we (I) can both take because it's so easy to spend so much more time in it. We both truly enjoy it. The puzzles are fun to solve and discovering new things ourselves is great. 5 stars.

takes me back to my younger gaming days. I love the open world and climbing! this is gonna be epic and possibly the best game of the year. This is the reason I bought a switch.

The story of this game (though this will be unpopular) is not great... That being said, that is not what makes this game. This game is about exploration, encountering a problem, and asking yourself, "How can I get around this?" If you can think it, it can probably be done. This takes the open world mechanic and turns it on its head. You have the intent to go to your "marker" but there is something that always pops up in your line of sight that makes you ask, "hmmm, I should go check that out." Know that the dungeons and the story are not what make this game special - it is the environment and mechanics.

I love video games, I have never played any Zelda games though. My husband wanted the Switch and Breath of the Wild. He stood in line and everything. Now he and 3 of the kids are totally into this game. They play it all the time and talk about how amazing it is. So I am basing my review on that. We own every game console there is, and right now this is the only thing anyone wants to play. I also had to buy a ton of Amiibos for it, some from past games. I just handle the money, but apparently the work for this game too. Something about getting money and Epona? Anyway, give it a try if you don't enjoy conversating with your family. :P

There are no words for this game, beautitful detail, so much soace to cover! Great open world the best Zelda yet! Still biased towards Twilight Princess tho :)

Extraordinary game!!The Zelda series is always fun to play.I would recommend to anyone who plays video games.

Absolutely outstanding! The only complaint I have is weapons break and then you have to fight with a pitchfork.

Outstanding game that is very nostalgic for those of us who grew up playing Zelda, and a beautiful introduction to the world for those unfamiliar. This game is as great as Skyrim in many aspects, and even better in others.

This is Zelda gone open world. The freedom the game gives you to explore is incredible, but it still feels like a Zelda game.

This game got me back into gaming. I Love the puzzles and open world of this game. Do not buy this game if you expect to have a life for the next few weeks.

Fun game. Large maps with lots of objectives to keep you busy and entertained

Unlike any Zelda before it. This game is huge and lots of fun. Not a lot of direction, but allows you to explore. As you play you get better. Actually well worth the $60.

I loved Zelda on 64, but this is completely different. It's incredibly challenging, you have to worry about overheating, freezing, durability of weapons. Great game!

Drop all other games you are playing and play this one. There's something in it for everyone. You can spend time exploring the world, where every location you see can be traveled too. You can search for combat and test your skills with tough enemies by hack and slashing or using creative and unique solutions. You can hunt for puzzles and quests that require a bit more on the brains. Along the way, you may end up doing all three, having discovered a beautiful place and lost plenty of sleep. As a small reference, I hadn't played any 3D Zelda games before and I felt very comfortable within a few hours of playing.

I love the open world feel, and they have done a great job making it look good both on the TV and in handheld mode. I've only gotten a little way in, but I've loved it so far.

I have played Zelda since the original on Nintendo when I was 4 and then fell in love with Ocarina of Time on N64 and am a die hard fan. OOT was always going to be my favorite game ever. Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess were great games, but had nothing on OOT. Breath of the Wild is next level. If you love playing Zelda or RPGs even a little bit, this game is for you. I spent 100+ hours playing to beat it (you could do less, but I enjoy exploring) and I could play another hundred hours and continue to find new quests to tackle. This game is a masterpiece.

I was blown away how beautiful the game runs and looks on handheld mode. As the player, this is the first time we have the full control of an open world Zelda game

for open world adventures. The game encourages you to experiment and explore and there are endless possibilities with this game. Loving every minute of playing this game.

The world just feels like it keeps going. There are plenty of challenging battles and quests but there are also wide plains and dense forests to get lost in.
