Also asked, is breath of the wild worth it?
Probably not. It isn't that Breath of The Wild isn't a beautiful game, superbly constructed or well worth every moment you put it into it. There are even plenty of other games that are sort of like Breath of the Wild, even if not all of them quite match what Nintendo has achieved here.
Subsequently, question is, is Link's Awakening worth it? Worth the wait and the priceLink's Awakening is a great buy for any Legend of Zelda fan. With two difficulty modes, it's a good game for beginners and veteran gamers alike. It has a unique story, beautiful graphics, and a soundtrack that will have you humming for days. Plus, it's fun.
Keeping this in view, is it worth buying a switch for Zelda?
Yes, and the Switch has many more games and will have many more games available later if you want to play more than Zelda at some point.
Is breath of the wild hard to play?
The toughest parts of the game are essentially optional. Fighting lynels and some of the ancient machines is very difficult but you can just avoid them. Breath of The Wild starts difficult (but not insurmountable) and gets easier as you go on because you gradually get much stronger.
