    I wonderful video game you must play, impossible to get bored exploring this new and updated Hyrule. The new mechanics, the story, the characters, the music and sounds, for me is one of the best games in history. Easily you will need 200 hours to complete the game.

    The bosses are wonderful, exploring the underground and the sky I love, and Link's new abilities make the game experience something unique, I love the ultrahand ability because with it I can create many things, I could even create a robot that chases enemies!

    Anyway, the game is by far something amazing that exploits all the power of the nintendo switch.    … Expand

The story is rich and gets me more invested than BOTW ever did. And despite using the same map, enough changes are made that it actually feels refreshing and exciting to explore Hyrule again. For once it actually feels like a game developer took in our criticism and actually worked to improve on it. Definitely a nominee for GOTY. A must play.… Expand

Players can tackle the game's challenges in any order they choose, and the game never feels restrictive or linear.

    Immensely fun, engaging, thoughtful and creative sequel to the best game of all time. The sheer amount to discover as you create your own path through a hyrule, changed from breath of the wild by the upheaval, from the story, koroks, complex cave systems, wells, underground, sky islands... is just staggering. You could be playing this game in years and still making discoveries. Perfection.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Banda sonora: Si varios de nosotros ya se maravillaron en su tiempo con la banda sonora BOTW, la verdad es que TOTK no deja nada que desear, como nota personal yo ya me estaba empezando a maravillar desde los trailer, me di mi tiempo para escuchar tranquilamente la mayoría de los temas de ambientación, combate, es una locura como (por lo menos a mi) me logra transmitir la música y los momentos en los que nos encontramos, en cuanto a esta parte no tengo mucha queja, más que algunos sonidos reciclados de la precuela, que tampoco es algo que moleste como tal al punto de no querer jugarlo (además de que no tendría sentido cambiarlo teniendo en cuenta que es el mismo "universo.")
    Historia
    A diferencia de BOTW, esta secuela viene cargadísima con muchas misiones (tanto principales, secundarias y los apartados de exploración y las pruebas heroicas), lo mejor de todo es que las misiones secundarias también tienen mucho que aportar a la historia, no haré mucho énfasis en eso pues es mejor descubrirlo por su cuenta. Ahora volviendo en si con lo que es historia, el juego empieza bastante fuerte, y van surgiendo muchas incógnitas que conforme vayas visitando lugares y avanzando se irán respondiendo, el desarrollo de la historia se vuelve muy interesante, el saber que esta pasando con el mundo de hyrule y que han sido de los personajes que conocimos en la entrega anterior y ya para terminar este apartado, el climax no sé como describirlo, es bastante emocionante dejando de lado el combate.

    Apartado técnico
    Escuche que el juego estaba terminado desde marzo del año pasado, hay que aplaudir el hecho de que se tomaran un año entero a querer pulir este juego y entregarnos esta obra, el como las mecánicas que nos ofrecen funcionen tan bien y no rompan el juego como tal, el hecho de no encontrar bugs, al menos en mi caso no encontré ningún bug por más cosas raras que intentara, el como algunas cosas que vimos en la entrega anterior regresaran, en este caso los santuarios y las "torres", que en este caso esta ultima la justifican, pero cabe mencionar que el hecho de que regresaran no significan que sean exactamente iguales, pues tienen su justificación, y en el caso de los santuarios son muchísimo más dinámicos y te otorgan lo que los desarrolladores buscaban con TOTK, la "libertad" es increíble las muchas formas en las que te puedes pasar las cosas, no solo los santuarios, sino a llegar a zonas, transportarte, jefes en el mundo, lo único que te limita en este caso es tu propia imaginación y creatividad

    Ahora si, lo que me causa indiferencia y lo que me parece mal

    Indiferencia

    El apartado visual, no hay mucho que decir, en mi opinión me parece exactamente lo mismo que BOTW, por supuesto, esta más pulido.

    Lo que no me gusta:

    Los compañeros, si lo hubieran hecho de otra forma quizás me hubiese gustado, alguna combinación de botones o algo así como las habilidades de BOTW, pero es que en este caso vas con 5 npcs y la verdad en combate más que ayudar, hacen todo lo contrario, muchas veces te entorpecen la visión y en otros casos cuando buscas alguno en especifico tienes que ir corriendo detrás de ellos para usar su habilidad, lo cual lo hace bastante incomodo, me gusta el concepto, pero la ejecución me dejo mal sabor.

    El rendimiento, ojo, esto no va influir en mi calificación, pues esto no es culpa del juego, sino de la consola, creo que muchos coincidirán en esto conmigo y es que es una pena que este juego saliera para la switch, con lo que se disfrutaría poderse jugar a 60 fps estables y sin caídas y con unos graficazos, por supuesto, este no es el caso y nos tenemos que aguantar, ojalá en algún futuro nintendo pueda hacer una consola que pueda soportar mejores gráficos y podamos disfrutar de una entrega que de a la talla, ahora con respecto al juego, es increíble como la switch puede moverlo sin que llore sangre en algunos momentos donde el juego peta con tantas cosas pasando en la pantalla.

    Cosas que me gustaron (de manera especifica)
    Misiones, este juego incluyen muchísimas misiones y que no sabes por donde empezar ni a donde ir, cosa que su antecesor no tenía en la misma cantidad.

    Exploración: Este juego fomenta muchísimo a la exploración, si vienes de la entrega anterior tendrías mucha curiosidad de en que estado se encuentran tus zonas favoritas y que otras cosas nuevas han aparecido, pues este juego ya no solo se limita la exploración en hyrule, sino que ahora tenemos un mapa subterráneo y el cielo.

    Mecánicas, lo dicho antes, es increíble como funcione todo tan bien sin que se rompa el juego.

    Creatividad, el juego además de fomentar a la exploración también fomenta a ser creativos en la resolución de problemas, muchos habrán resuelto algún santuario, llegado a una zona o pasándose algún templo de una forma distinta a la de otra persona, lo cual es un punto bastante bueno.    … Expand

    Muchos se quejan de que los graficos, los 900p y los 30 Fps, esta bien. Muchos se preguntan porque a Nintendo no se le critica por este aspecto, un ligero apunte: Si Playstation es criticada por ejemplo por Forspoken tanto en gráficos como en rendimiento general es PORQUE PS5 DA PARA MUCHO MÁS, si Xbox SeriesX se critica por ejemplo Redfall por sus gráficos simples y sus 30 FPS, es porque Xbox Series X DA PARA MUCHO MÁS, y cuando en PC un juego sale mal optimizado incluso para una RTX4090 es porque esta mal optimizado, igual que los citados de arriba, pero en Switch nadie se espera gráficos, nadie espera 60FPS ( menos aún en un mundo abierto ) por ende, a sabiendas que la maquina en 2017 ya salió tecnológicamente desfasada si el juego no tiene mas gráficos no es achacable al juego SINO A LA MAQUINA.

    En definitiva, si te gusta Zelda, cómpralo, si te gustó BOTW es te encantara mil veces más, y si no lo hizo BOTW te aseguro que este si lo hará.    … Expand

    Querer explorar e descobrir tudo que foi disponibilizado.
    Zelda te deixa com tudo a mão para jogar o jogo como vc achar correto.
    Com relação as criticas eu me posiciono da seguinte forma.
    É o mesmo mapa? Não, Hyrule foi modificada e expandida, além de ter as terras no céu e subterrâneas.
    Frame rate estavel? Fora da ultra-hand tudo segue bem liso. Mas confia que vc não vai nem notar de tão imerso que vai estar.
    Graficos ruins? Cara o estilo de arte em cellshading é super bonito e tem varias areas lindas de se adimirar. O jogo não tem pegada realista então não faz sentido julgar proximidade com realidade.

    A parte de las mecánicas, han querido corregir todos los PEROS que se dijeron de BotW. Han añadido banda sonora (discreta), misiones secundarias INTERESANTES, y un lore profundo. Además, han aprovechado y han llenado el mapa con más cosas que hacer y ver, a parte de buscar koroks y templos. Gracias Nintendo por regalarnos tal joya.    … Expand

    I thought it was same system and same game. However, it definitely got better from previous BOTW.
    Yes, graphic and frame are not improved, it also makes me sad. What can we do? This is the Switch game after all.

The story was somewhat mixed with or against to old Zelda games, but the storytelling and impacts got improved from BOTW. So I was curious to see the ending before I hit 100% of game. (I am still playing extra contents to meet 100%!) If you want to play a graphic game that requires no brain, this is not for you. It wants you to take your own adventures with whatever tools that you want to use. Guidelines and hints are everywhere by NPCs, but it wants you to think.

    I hope for new DLC and hopefully it's after the main storyline.    … Expand

    I had just finished BOTW for the first time before playing this and even with the map and the gameplay fresh in my mind this game did not feel like the same thing. As a sequel to one of the most popular and let's be fair best games of all time, TOTK delivers in many many ways. The map is much bigger, the story way more emotional and intriguing.

Even the stuff that DOES feel very similar to BOTW is boosted in fun by a lot of new and creative ways of finding your way.

    If I had to pinpoint the things I didn't like or that you could name as a negative it would be the performance, which is lacking sometimes. You can tell this game takes the Switch tho its limit. Most of the time the game runs smooth and the cutscenes are insanely beautiful. I took way too many screenshots of this game with no regrets. One new, very big part of the map, that was not in BOTW is a little bit of chore, at leats it feels like it for ME. I am sure the challenge is a big plus for a lot of other players, I personally just did not care for it and didn't even bother exploring more of it than I needed to. Since I had the choice to that, it didn't take away any of my enjoyment of this title and I can not wait to see other people react to the best moments of this story.

    A lot of us probably thought they can't possibly make a game better than BOTW but hey, they frickin' did it. A masterpiece.    … Expand

I understand that it’s a similar formula to BOTW, and if people didn’t click with the 2017 title, they believe they might not click with this one. Still, for me, those individuals should try TOTK because it combines the formula for BOTW but brings back elements from classic Zeldas they have wished for. This game isn’t anything less than a 10.

El doblaje al castellano es buenísimo, solo siento que no haya más escenas con audio pero bueno los juegos japoneses son así, más de texto leído. En cuanto al frame rate. Es cierto que no es perfecto pero la Nintendo Switch no da para más y no son nada grave tampoco estas caídas, ocurren cuando hay muchos enemigos y además haces volar todo por los aires, o sea necesitas muchísima carga en el juego para desestabilizar la tasa de cuadros, pero no es culpa del videojuego que está optimizadísimo, si no de la consola y no se puede ni debe penalizar al juego por el hardware donde se ejecuta.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has lived up to the high expectations created by the success of Breath of the Wild with its exquisitely intertwined gameplay systems, outstanding music, and a legendary story culminating in a magnificent denouement. It's not every day that such a special video game like this comes around. Truly the stuff of legend.
