I pre-ordered this game at my boyfriend's insistence when we bought the Switch. I'm not a big gamer (I was mostlty looking forward to playing Mario Kart) and I've never played any of the Zelda games before, so I assumed I would never play this. When the console arrived, this was the only game we had for it because our other pre-ordered games haven't been released yet. I decided to give it a try, and after a few days of learning the controls and figuring out the gameplay, I've become totally obsessed with this game. I played for four hours last night and had to drag myself away when it was time to go to bed.
The graphics are phenomenal, the storyline is interesting, and there's so much more to do than I could have imagined. You could entertain yourself for hours just running around exploring and collecting things even if you didn't want to play the actual storyline. I can't recommend this game enough, even for non-gamers and non-Zelda fans.

I'm not a fan of Zelda games. I liked Wind Waker and that is about it. I far prefer the Final Fantasy games. I only bought this for my wife to play with the console undocked while I play Xbox one on the tv. I decided to try it after watching her.....this game is FANTASTIC. You can easily spend hours roaming and discovering on top of a fun storyline. There is sooooo much to explore and find. The only reason I stop playing each day is because I have to and not because I want to. This is one of my new favorite games.

I don't mean to jump on the bandwagon, but this is honestly the best Zelda game I've played so far. Here are some complaints that I've read, and my response:
1. The game is too hard: Get good.
2. I hate the weapon durability: It's just an added mechanic to make you have to think more. There are PLENTY of weapons throughout the game where you really don't feel defenseless. You can also expand your inventory to hold even more weapons.
3. The game is too easy: Have you explored EVERYTHING? Sure, just blazing through the story isn't too difficult, but there is so much to do, and none of it seems repetitive. In addition, hard mode DLC is coming out.
4. Frame rate drops: Is this really an issue that detracts from the gameplay? It very seldom slows down.
5. The rain is inconvenient: See answer to #1.
6. The graphics don't compare to PS4 or Xbone: Graphics aren't everything, but also the style is more artistic than realistic. You feel like you're immersed in a Miyazaki film.
7. I don't know what I'm supposed to do next: Really it doesn't matter what you do next. Pick a direction and go that way. Something will pop up. The whole point of this game is to give the gamers the freedom to do what they want.
8. The voice acting is bad: I personally liked the voice acting, but that's just my opinion. I also appreciate the use of the voice acting. It wasn't too frequent, and it was only during important cutscenes.
Definitely a 10/10 game

Excellent, excellent game! My only other LoZ experience was on the NES, and this has my attention just as that did. It's extremely fun, I never want to put it down. And there's so much to do! The side quests aren't boring like most side quests are in RPG's and MMO's, the puzzles are tricky and leave me feeling accomplished when I figure them out, the main story is gradually challenging, the enemies are scaled based on area but even if you run into higher baddies, dispatching them only takes a few more minutes. I've played countless hours of Elder Scrolls games, and this gives that vibe with a nice LoZ & Nintendo spin. Excellent game, excellent experience.

This is the best Zelda since OoT hands down. A breath of fresh air for the series and really brings it into the modern era of games. Despite it's size its very easy to play in small chunks due to the shrine/quest structure the game has. Beautiful environments and music. Nearly every time I play I discover something new that I didn't know I could do before.

A monumental achievement by Nintendo. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will likely go down as one of the best games of all time - a new status quo for excellence. It is a joy to explore Hyrule. Even after 80+ hours, it's a world I haven't gotten bored of, and am constantly itching for more time for further exploration.
If you own a Nintendo Switch, getting this is a no-brainer. If you're a fan of videogames, this is a game you owe it to yourself to check out.

With past successes like Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker I thought no way could they make a new game in the Zelda series to top those. Boy, was I wrong! This game turned the series on its head and reinvented the whole formula and I couldn't be happier! This game is perfection. I went into it with relatively modest expectations as I just didn't know how well Zelda would mesh with a true open world "do anything, anywhere" kind of formula. Yes they've tried that with the original Zelda but it's never been done on this scale. I tend to get overwhelmed by open world games just because of the massive scale but I never once felt the world was too big. If anything I was excited to keep exploring and see EVERYTHING the game had to offer. There are a LOT of things to explore and collect in this game. Being that the game is just a massive shift in the Zelda formula, it does ditch a few key things like traditional dungeon design and accumulating items, while adding in things like cooking for survival. But as the game is I wouldn't change a thing. It could be the most perfect game Nintendo has ever released.

I do not overstate the fact that this is one of the most incredible games I have ever played, and has been a constant source of addiction since I have purchased it.
I have never seen a game that offers such rich rewards for exploration, that builds a story one day at a time, one piece at a time, so compellingly. It is a game that makes you think, strategize every action that you take. It is a game that can be so realistic, while allowing players to immerse themselves in its game world. I absolutely love this game, and truthfully it was worth the purchase of the Switch.
Buy this game, it is an experience unlike any other.

Breath of The Wild is Breath taking! (Sorry) This game is amazing. A large open world with so much to do and collect. It brings plenty of challenge while staying really fun to play. All the while every bit of this awesome experience can be done anywhere you are. It provides an experience you want to play on your TV and continue playing during breaks at work or traveling.
