The Legend of Zelda is one of gaming's longest and most beloved franchises. It is one of Nintendo's flagship properties, and they seem to take more time and care with each entry than almost any other game they produce - and it shows.

Large, beautiful, fully explorable world; incredible physics sandbox; breathtaking visuals, despite the hardware limitations; fantastic ambient sound effects on a good surround sound system; tons and tons to do, with great attention to detail

Some may not like the breakable weapons and shields; story is somewhat optional and easy to forget about

I was anticipating a classic adventure when I sat down with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, readying myself to learn all the new mechanics the game would throw at me. I mentally prepared myself to fight through puzzle after puzzle in labyrinths of increasing complexity and confusion.

It has been a long time coming, but after extensive looks at both the Wii U version , as well as early builds of the Nintendo Switch edition , Nintendo is about to unleash The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upon the world.

No game is perfect, but comes as close as it could get within its genre. The new game to beat in its sector; we're talking pure video game ecstasy.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a beautiful return to the Zelda universe that succeeds on every level on the Nintendo Switch!

One of the best games I've played. This is the first Zelda game I've played and it's fantastic. From the story, to the puzzles, to the difficulty, it strikes a great balance. This game alone makes it worthwhile to buy a Switch.

Ive played this game for about 40 hours so far and all I can say is wow. It returns to the original Zelda format of no set structure to how you play. I was about 20 hours in before I even went to the first story line dungeon. There is just so much to explore and get side tracked by.

Zelda breath of the wild is by far the best game on the switch and such a great open world adventure. So many different puzzles and it changes everytimw you play

Portable; Kid Friendly

To be honest, I'm a bit of a skeptic, and tend to never believe the hype of any game. Too many times have I gotten hype for a game and found myself disappointed by the end of it. Too many Nintendo games within the past decade, in my opinion, have been rated higher than they deserve by game critics...

This game is soooo good. I've been playing for a couple weeks and I feel like I've only scratched the surface. There is so much to explore and so many different things to do. I love the open format of the game where you can about go anywhere and do anything you want.
