So is the Switch worth getting?
For me, yes. I've never played a game that is as open ended as BOTW. It's like how I've always wanted a game to be. Most of the time you think "ooohhh....there should be something there" and there's nothing. Which I really like. There's a lot of ground to cover and I haven't really lost interest for more than a day or two in the past year or so. Borderlands is decent on it, there are tons of indie games that are really cheap and the other Nintendo options are cool but BOTW is the definitely the main attraction.
