    Pre Order Bonus Missing

    This was supposed to come with the pre order bonus listed on the website. It did not. I inquired in the chat and was told it wouldn't be honored. It came in a box with no padding and the case was dented. Waste of time.

    Game is great, but didn’t receive pre-order bonus after pre-ordering. Was told that it was limited, but when purchased the pre-order was advertised with the game.

    Tears of the Traditional Zelda Fan

    A puzzle-heavy game that limits the action combat to short bursts and spawning brain-dead enemy duplicates to do your battling. This is not the 2D Zelda game I want and hope Nintendo produces a more traditional Zelda title in the future.

    I wrote a review the day of but apparently Best Buy decided to delete that. I will never shop here again I called to confirm I'd be getting the gift before I put my order in and well the day of my fiance went to pick up the game and they said they only have a few and not give us the gift. He was literally the first person at open time there to get it. I called customer service only to be transferred around for over an hour and they told me there was no bonus. Now they deleted over hundreds of reviews about this. Ive never had a business act like this before.

    I cant even review the game. I preordered it months ago. The shipping label was created on September 25th, but the item still hasnt shipped. This experience has ensured that I will never order from Best Buy again.

    When I bought this game through Best Buy, it told me that I would receive a Pre-Order Bonus but it never came. The 1 Star review is for the experience through Best Buy, not the game itself.

    Good game, perplexing review policy.

    The game is really good! My friends can't stop talking about it, not sure why Best Buy is allowing reviews about a game be focused on a preorder bonus when the topic of review should be the game itself, but I digress.. Great game! Ignore the one star reviews whining about the cheap plastic preorder crap.

    Unconventionally Traditional

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Arrived a day after release but no big deal, I was expecting it to anyway. This is a great game, the art style is adorable (especially when the NPCs are surprised) the mechanics are novel, yet it is in many ways quite traditional. Breaking conventions in all the right ways. There was one aspect of the game I felt was, while interesting, quite unnecessary and I never ended up using it.

    People crazy over Best buy “pre-order” bonus

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Best buy has never been good with preprder bonus’ normally they are reserved for the first people that have ordered or should be reserved for best buy plus (total tech) members. Every review with 1 star complaining a out the bonus should be deleted as it doesnt reflect on the actual product but reflects best buys business. Complaining you didnt get something that wasnt guaranteed is kinda sad to see. Its disapoonting, but for the last 10 years every smart person that plays video games will tell you not tp preorder, and that preordering allows companies to do shady practices, or to simply not deliver fully on their final product because they already made their money. Its crazy people are still preorder and expecting free things or a finished game on release day, when none of that stuff has been fully delivered in over 10 years.

    i didnt preorder... so i have nothing to complain. but this game is 11 stars out of 10, if you love the original NES, the Legend of Zelda. this is like a based on the original Zelda layout, the game is not very difficult to play, so you wont give up and quit too easily, just lots of puzzles to solve which i love.

    Good, but not great.

    I hadn't played a "traditional" Zelda game (2D) in a very long time until I played this one. I suppose I got more used to playing the newer, 3D BOTW, and TOTK. I think EOW is a good "old-school" style game with the more traditional type dungeons. The reason for the 4 star is because it just seems too easy. I have barely been stumped (puzzles) once and I have cleared 4 dungeons. I have only died in one boss battle (although I have a few times traversing the world). I guess I feel the game is too juvenile with respect to the level of difficulty. Keep in mind I am only half way through (?) the game, so it could become more difficult (I hope). Other than that, the idea of playing Zelda is cool, and the echoes are a good idea. I do miss the combat style of BOTW and TOTK though.

    Long Live Zelda

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Glad I finally picked up a copy. This is really the first ever Zelda game where we finally get to play the princess of Hyrule. It is quite bittersweet but it’s definitely quite an exciting adventure.

    An excellent story that finally has the right lead

    For the first time, outside of the 4 different spinoffs of this series, Zelda takes the stage, and unlike most normal Zelda games this one is more logic based which makes sense….. a fun adventure for new and old Zelda fans…. It has the open world concept given to us by: a link between worlds/breath of the wild/tears of the kingdom…….. and the gameplay is interesting

    A very cute and charming game. A bit on the easy side with simple puzzles and fairly simplistic combat. However, I really like the graphics, especially for the new areas. I also liked the new enemies, bosses, and environments.

    How about writing a real review for the actual game instead of complaining that you didn't get your bonus item? I'd like to know people's thoughts on the game.
