    Game is amazing... the world is amazing and the world seems absolutely enormous. A great addition to the Zelda franchise. My family spends a lot of time playing and watching each other. My kids have loved these games and this one is no exception. Some occasional frame lag when playing on the tv screen but not on the Switch screen.

    Completely open world, want to go to the boss immediately, you can. Its nice to get a partial soundtrack with the Special Edition but remember it is only a partial. Still not the full OST. I greatly recommend this game to both veteran Zelda fans or newcomers, even people like my friend that doesn't care for Zelda loves it.

    This special edition differs from other games because the bundle actually comes with something useful. The switch case that the bundle comes is not only useful but also a must have for Zelda fans. The cover art on the Zelda is also different from retail. You also get a coin and the game's soundtrack. Very nice bundle.

    The box for this package is huge, but makes a pretty neat display piece for a video game collection. The special contents are great, and the case for the Switch is well made and very useful. If you have the opportunity and financial means to purchase this special edition over the standard edition, then I encourage it.

    The game was everything that I expected it to be, and then some. The extra stuff was really great too!. The case is sturdy enough that it feels safe to put the Switch in, the coin and the map are really cool, and the Music CD is fantastic! I didn't listen to anything else for a week. It's an amazing product.

    I don't t think I need to go into detail about the actual game, but BotW is so good, everyone needs to play it. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. I've sank nearly 200 hours into it already and plan to continue doing so, even before the first DLC is released this summer! The collectors edition is fantastic. First of all, the packaging is HUGE which means the art work on the front is large and gorgeous. It comes with a really cool carrying case which I've used extensively already (it has a spot to carry your switch with joy cons attached, a flap that hols up to 12 cartridges, a mesh pocket that can be used t hold additional joy cons, joy con straps, chargers, small ear buds, etc. The design on it is really cool, and it has a nifty handle for transportation. Fits easily in a backpack. The collection also comes with a neat two sided collectors coin, a sound selection of fantastic music, and a really cool bit of artwork. If you like Zelda, this is a must. There's also an edition one step above this with the Master Sword statue..

    The reason to get a Switch!

    This is the best video game I have played in years. I've had a hard time putting it down. Yes, I understand it's for WiiU as well, but it isn't portable for WiiU. The portability of the Switch allows you to take it anywhere. I've played the game for 100 hours and I'm still noticing new things. Every so often I'll see a youtube video and notice a player making use of a mechanism I've never thought of before. I've bought other games for the Switch since, but somehow I keep coming back. Regarding the special edition, you get a few things more than just the game. It's $40 more than the base game, at least when I bought it. The carrying case it comes with is easily worth $20, and in my opinion looks a lot nicer than the other ones at that price level. You need to ask yourself if having a soundtrack CD, a scroll, a weird commemorative coin, and a huge beautiful box will together make up for the additional cost. While I'm not dissatisfied with these things, I'm not sure, looking back, I'd get the Special Edition again. Love that case though...

    I can't believe how fast these things sold out. I really wanted the master edition, but who didn't? The price was definitely not bad for everything included. The case is awesome and it comes with a poster and collectable coin along with the game and soundtrack. I love it. A must have for any Zelda fan.

    Zelda has long been among my favorite video game series and I was absurdly hyped up for Breath of the Wild. Knowing my personal bias, I must say that this game has not just met but exceeded my expectations. Some bullet points to summarize my experience: - An open world with a LOT to do; no sense of boredom for me even after 50 hours (and counting). - Cooking that makes sense, and is both important and enjoyable. - On a related note, you can find all of the tools you need to overcome any given scenario with minimal hand-holding - the player's intelligence is completely respected. - Weapon durability is a non-issue for me personally; for every weapon that breaks there seem to be two more ready to take its place. - Possibly the most fully-explorable world yet made, with very few artificial barriers. That just scratches the surface. Absolutely wonderful game, I can't recommend it enough to anyone with a Wii U or Switch. Oh, and the Collector's Edition goodies are pretty nice too. Especially the travel case.

    While I don't play every open world that comes out, I did really enjoy the pen world of this game. Some open world games have a massive world and lots to do, this game has meaningful things to do in a very vast explorable world. For those fans of Zelda from the very beginning, don't be hoping to get a great story out of this one because it's not as present as with previous games but I still highly recommend this game to anyone.

    This game is just fun, open world, do what you want how you want it, I have enjoyed around 50 hours of gameplay and it just keeps me interested with quests, places to visit, characters, plenty of things to do. The special edition case and soundtrack add additional beauty to the game

    This game is as good as the reviewers say it is. Outstanding gameplay. Immersive environments. But that's not it. The game case is the best i have seen so far. I looked at other cases and I'm pleased with this one. And the soundtrack like any other zelda soundtrack is excellent.

    The new Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild special edition game with case, coin, map, and cd soundtrack is great! The case is really nice, the map is beautiful and of course the soundtrack is everything you come to expect from the music of the Zelda games. Well worth the money!

    This Zelda game is a departure for the series, taking Link through an open world layout similar to GTA. Rather than dungeons, Link has to find more than 100 shrines to solve the puzzles within. Easily a contender for Game of the Year 2017 and one of the best Zelda titles.

    I missed out on getting the Master Edition, but I am very happy with the Special Edition now that I've gotten to see it. I actually really like the case as it has decent padding and many slots for future game cards if I end up getting more physical games. The other items are nice as well, but the case is mostly what I wanted besides the game itself. The box art is actually very beautiful and I've ended up keeping the box as well until I can figure out a way to incorporate it into my display. The game is very fun. I've really enjoyed getting back into Legend of Zelda with this addition to the franchise. The art style is beautiful, a bit of a throwback to Wind Waker. Being able to play it on the go is really nice for my lifestyle as I can go from playing at home to playing on my lunch break and then back again, all seamlessly. I feel that this edition was a little bit pricey for what you get, but at the same time, I'm very happy with it.

    Best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time. The open world gameplay and new additions to Link's abilities create an experience unlike any previous games. The addition of crafting is also a big plus. Ultimately a visually breathtaking and deep gaming experience. Buy this game!
