    TOTK is a fantastic game carrying on over from BOTW. The game introduces new and amazing mechanics with more enemies and even new places to explore. Sky islands and the Depths really brings out the genre "adventure" that this game holds. What started as a DLC ended up being a wonderful adventure game with a rich story.

    Breath of the wild was a good game, but it didn't quite surpass Ocarina of Time.

    TOTK is a MASTERPIECE. It fully surpasses every Zelda game ever made. It's one of the only games I've played in my 30s that I can say is not only game of the year, but one is the greatest ever made.

    Breath of the Wild was a very good game but with a side of flaws. Tears of the Kingdom fixes most of these flaws and turns them into some of the most amazing experiences.

Tears of the Kingdom fixes most of these flaws and turns them into some of the most amazing experiences.

    Story
    The story had a huge improvement since BoTW. The story is much more engaging with all the characters. Not just the main characters but alot of the NPCs and the environment is engaged with whats happening in each area and how our hero Link will solve it. The story is not mind boggling and still needs improvement because it is very predictable, it can be better in alot of ways but this is miles better than what we had in BoTW.

    NPCs are alot more aware of their surroundings and everything that Link does. Enemies now work together instead of fighting Link one after another. BoTW had very well scripted enemy behaviour outside and inside combat but ToTK reuses all of it and magnifies everything. Even after hours of playing enemies shows unique behaviour that still amazes me.

    Weapons, Durability and Fuse ability
    I wish it had more variety with weapon types such as dual wield, katanas, daggers, etc. You can technically turn a sword into a scythe or a claymore into a sledgehammer with the new fuse ability but at the end of the day its still a "sword" or a "claymore". The weapon durability is still here but im all for it. I believe weapon durability is an essential part for a vast open world game like ToTK. Having weapons break means you have strategise and use different types of weapons with different properties. This was a problem in BoTW though because weapons broke often and it was simply just not worth killing monsters knowing it will take off durability and offering close to nothing in return. In ToTK, ALL enemies drop something that is useful, yes all of them in my experience. All of them have a scenario where it can be used for something such as fusing, using them while making Zonai devices, quests, combat and much more. This creates an incentive to fight monsters unlike BoTW where ignoring them were a better option.

    Shrines
    They are mostly the same with the same formula but this time the puzzles are much more open ended where there are unlimited solutions to one puzzle in most of the shrines. They basically give you infinite tools to work your way out and however YOU want to complete it. This makes shrines much more enjoyable and not just a chore to complete.

    Side quests are a HUGE improvement. I never bothered to finish or do most of the side quests in BoTW unless it was a shrine quest. They gave little rewards with uninteresting stories and were hardly worth it, ToTK changes it by making the rewards very useful and very dependable by strategically placing them in areas where you need those rewards the most along with the addition of new materials and improvement to the stories in the side quests they have become very fun and you will never get tired of doing them and it wont feel like a chore.

    Exploration
    BoTW had remarkable exploration which was praised by many but ToTK compressed alot more things in its world and makes it much more dense. Every corner or direction you look, there is going to be something you can do or something that will catch your eye whether it be caves, shrines, NPCs, monsters and much much more. I was never in a situation where I didn't know what to do or felt like i had nothing to do. This couples with the creativity and the infinite amount of solutions available to you to do these things which makes this game incredible by exploration alone.

    Issues with ToTK
    Frame rate drops in certain areas but this is entirely Nintendos fault for not innovating. The switch does not need to change, its hybrid feature is good enough that can stay alive forever, we just need better hardware that can at the very least guarantee us 60 FPS. The game is still beautiful but this is kind of an insult to the devs who put such great care and work into the game.
    The story was thrilling and better than BoTW its still very predictable and the way you have to watch memories is too similar to BoTW, I wish link was actually in the story while it happened or make a story be like so. Nonetheless I still liked Ganondorf as a villain but I wish we had more screentime or more involvement with other important characters seen in the memories.

    TL-DR, ToTK just better in every way. Go play.    … Expand

    As for the game itself it is overwhelmingly huge, I've spent dozens of hours just exploring this map and I'm still finding new stuff at every turn (and I've put about 300 hours in botw). In love with the ultrahand, never has stacking a dozen springs on top of one another to launch yourself into the stratosphere been more fun (if it's ever been done at all in a videogame before this). The dungeons in this game are a major improvement, I've only done 3, but I've found the build up to them to be a lot of fun and the puzzles in them to be quite creative. NPCs in this game are a lot more interesting than in botw and the sidequests are actually worth doing, so much so that I think I'm going to complete them all. The story has some of the issues of botw, namely being the return of memories, but they do tell a more interesting story and the payoff once they're all collected is actually pretty good because you don't already know how its going to end, unlike in botw where the memories only serve as window dressing and don't tell you anything you don't already know past your first visit to Kakariko Village. Also the way in which memories are discovered is so much more interesting, being a full on side-mission, instead of just "go to picture here and press A".

    This game is just so much fun to play and I can't recommend it enough. It definitely deserves the praise it's getting, though I can understand frustration with its below par performance on a console that was already behind in technology 6 years ago.    … Expand

    Tears of The Kingdom is a game. A fantastic one at that. Being a sequel to BOTW and using the original map, I had concerns of the map feeling rehashed and lazy, I was nervous the combat wouldn’t be improved.

Being a sequel to BOTW and using the original map, I had concerns of the map feeling rehashed and lazy, I was nervous the combat wouldn’t be improved. Thirdly how could Nintendo beat their latest entry winning GOTY from every source you can think of. I can confidently say Nintendo somehow blew my mind. I’ll start moving through the many features that make TOTK a solid 10.

    Firstly combat although similar to the last game has gained a new dimension in its fuse mechanic. You can change how a weapon feels entirely just by slapping some random item on to it. You want fire? Slap a fire breather on top of it. You want to reach a high place slap a rocket on your shield. The combos while not infinite are so fun to experiment with that I’m excited to see what the wild people do after months of time with the game.

    The map has been entirely reworked. As far as the geometry of you remember BOTW you’ve still got an idea where many of the main landmarks are. But Nintendo has innovated on many of the locations and built new life into the previous entries world. If you deeply immersed yourself into BOTW you’ll see how the world has advanced. The actions link made in the first game has directly impacted everywhere. New towns have sprouted, characters who already had decent developments have moved forward in life and it’s interesting to learn and see what has happened in the years since BOTW. It feels like coming back after a long trip and seeing all your old friends.

    Dungeons are back, not as wild as previous Zelda entries but they’re fun, each unique. Objectively they’re pretty similar but the classic gimics and puzzles are more than enough to satisfy even the veterans of the series.

    Boss fights, well made.
    Story, awesome.
    Things to do? Plenty.

    I also forgot to mention if you thought BOTW was big, well they doubled the maps size with the inclusion of 2 new zones. Buy this game now.    … Expand

    Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game in so many aspects that I'd love to give it a glowing 10/10 review. Sadly there are enough issues that I just can't ignore their effect on my enjoyment of the game and make this a bit of a flawed masterpiece.

Sadly there are enough issues that I just can't ignore their effect on my enjoyment of the game and make this a bit of a flawed masterpiece.

    The Good:
    -the ambience and atmosphere is excellent, and the soundtrack compliments this well
    -many of the new tools are fun to play around and solve problems with
    -no bugs that detract from the overall experience, it feels well polished in that aspect
    -new fusing somewhat helps alleviate my gripes I had with durability in BotW. At least now there's a better reason to have a low weapon durability system.
    -the story is probably the best zelda has ever delivered recently, but still not the strong suit of the series
    -the progression from naked weakling to godlike feels really good and organic, without having to rely on a traditional levelling system
    -it's just a fun world to explore for the most part, especially once you've got some faster travelling methods unlocked. There's lots of things to discover and upgrade compared to BotW open world.
    -The shrines are more interesting than in BotW, but I still wish there was less of them and more robust dungeons instead

    The Bad:
    -the graphics can sometimes look pretty dreadful. Occasional framerate issues as well especially when using ultra-hand
    -the lack of voice acting in so many parts feels lazy in 2023. Nintendo has this issue with a lot of their flagship titles.
    -The cutscenes are inexplicably bad at times, randomly cutting to black (loading screen or narrative choice, who knows?) or focusing on a still image for a baffling amount of time for no reason. The dialogue is a pretty mixed bag as well.
    -Controls are a bit janky, and even after getting used to them, so many elements of the controls and how they interact with the UI could be much better. More on that in the next point...
    -Having to pause combat to fiddle around with menus in any action game nowadays feels like a failure in design. Really detracts from the momentum of combat, and makes it feel less fluid.
    -Combat is still a bit of an overly basic slog. Luckily, it's not a major focus of the game. Seemingly taking a backseat to making clever use of your tools to solve problems and navigate the world.
    -It still feels like it's lacking interesting dungeons that were present in previous entries. It was a problem I had with BotW and it's still present here. The basic puzzle shrines and sparse dungeons in this entry are probably overall better than I remember in BotW with the divine beasts and tedious shrines, but far from the best the series offered in the past.

    Tears of the Kingdom is a great experience I'd recommend to most gamers, but it's not nearly as flawless as it should be being a followup to BotW and borrowing so many of its assets. Definitely enjoyed my time with it all the same.    … Expand

    Gameplay:
    This game improves on BotW's gameplay in so many unique ways! The new abilities add so many opportunities for creative solutions to the ingenious puzzles presented to you at every turn. I won't go into details here, but the new abilities offer so many more opportunities for creative puzzle solving than the ones in BotW did. Not to mention you can literally build your own vehicles! This is so impressive for a Switch game!
    World:
    The overworld map is the same as BotW, but this is to the game's advantage! You can re-explore areas you know and love from the previous game and see all the different creative ways they've changed! There are also sky islands that you can fly between, and even an ENTIRE UNDERGROUND MAP THE SIZE OF HYRULE! Strange how the review bombers glaze over this part.
    Performance:
    The bombers also criticize the performance, but from my experience it has run great! While it's not perfect, the performance is very impressive for a game of this scale running on a SWITCH. And people criticizing the visuals obviously don't know what an "Art Style" is. In my opinion, this is one of the best looking games on the switch! Not quite as good as Metroid Prime Remastered, though.

    Tears of the Kingdom is a worthy successor to Breath of the Wild in every way possible. The gameplay is great, the story is interesting, and the amount of possibilities are endless. This game will be relevant for years to come, and is among the best games I've ever played.

    I won’t drag out my review too much, I’ll just go point by point.
    ___
    Graphic:
    Let's take into account that the game was released on the console with a mobile SoC, 2015 release, NVidia Tegra X1. Therefore, within the framework of this game system, the graphics are somewhere between "good" and "well, it could have been better."
    My score for the graphic: 7/10
    ___
    Plot:
    About the plot, without spoilers, it will not be possible to tell normally. I can say one thing, this game, like the previous one, has a very simple, but, however, pleasant plot.
    My score for the story: 8/10
    ___
    Sound and Music:
    I won't even write anything here. As always, this aspect of game development, at Nintendo, is beyond praise.
    My rating for sound and music: 10/10
    ___
    Gameplay:
    Completely redesigned gameplay based on new mechanics with the addition of the basic mechanics from the previous game is simply breathtaking. It would take too long to describe. Try it yourself, you won't regret it.
    My gameplay score: 10/10
    ___
    Outcome:
    The game is recommended for purchase and passage for absolutely everyone, without exception. Playing Tears of the Kingdom, you will get great pleasure from the process of passing.
    Again, the game is a must-play.

    前作より難しいという意見が多いが敵は硬い。謎解きは簡単になったと思うが前作で慣れたのかも。
    攻略サイト的なものは一切みてない。
    前作の傑作BotWの続編とは分かっていても遊び部分はクラフト要素やモドレコやトーレルーフ、空島や地底などパワーアップしたものも多いが全体的なデザインは変わっておらず祠での謎解きやコログ集めなど既視感が強く驚きはない。
    コログ1つとっても前作と似たパズルなどで前作でボツになったのを再利用したんじゃないかと思う程同じような仕掛けばかりだった。
    オープンワールド特有のマップに似たような遊びを散りばめる（祠、コログ、洞窟→マヨイ、カバンダなど）と進め方遊び方によっては作業感に感じる問題は解決できていないしそれがカバンダや洞窟などの新要素でより作業的に感じるようになりまるでUBIのゲームのようだった。
    神殿攻略は前作の神獣の謎解きの方が凝っていたかなと思う。
    カットシーンを使いまわしてる部分がありそこは萎えるしそれも複数回ある。
    空島は期待していた分その規模と似たような遊びで肩透かしを食らった。
    地底は当然視界が悪く広い分イベントとやれる事が少ないが根を開放していくうちに地上の祠やロケーションとの繋がりに気づいたときは感心をした。
    ウルトラハンドは慣れるまでは非常に操作性が悪くこの間fpsが低下しストレスになった。
    一部のロケーションでのfps低下なども含め全体的にハードの限界を感じた。　
    アートワークは前作同様個性的で素晴らしい。
    グラフィックは性能的に仕方ないのだが全体的に白っぽく特に雨上がりなどの時に靄がかかる演出は好き嫌い別れるところだがグラフィックの粗を誤魔化してるように思うし非常に視認性が悪い場面がある。
    サブクエスト(ミッション)類は基本的に前作同様で面白くはない。
    例えば防具強化のために大妖精を開放するクエストが何個かあり初見では必須に近いがそれを何度も同じような展開で同じようなパターンで先の読める冗長過ぎるテキストと何処何処へ連れて行けみたいなのを何度もやらされてもっと捻りの効いたクエストを考えてほしいなと思った。
    ただの作業にならずストーリーにうまく組み込むようなものが欲しかった。
    だから会話やテキストが冗長で先が読めるせいでギャグも稚拙に感じられた。
    クドい。
    賢者を連れて歩くと誤爆が頻発するのは任天堂らしくないし視界の邪魔になるのはどうなのかなと…。その度にオンオフするのが面倒。
    UIはほぼ変わっておらず相変わらず使いにくい。
    アイテムを選ぶのも手間がかかるしアクションアドベンチャーながら回復するのにメニューを開くのは没入間をそがれる。
    エンディングのゼルダがもとの姿に戻るシーンはご都合主義過で少し気になった。
    ハマれば時間が溶けるほど遊べるがとても粗の多くBotWのワクワクする冒険感はやや薄れやれる事や自由度が増した良作。
    他のゲームと比べればそりゃ10点満点だがメディアが100点連発してるのは少々疑問…。
    勝手に期待値を上げ過ぎてしまったかなと思ったがTGA2017でこれからも驚きに満ちたゼルダを作り続けると仰っていましたので6年間かなり期待していたので少なくとも自分にとってはTotKは驚きに満ちたゼルダではなかった。
    TotKよりゲームプレイが劣るがワクワクするゲームとTotKが結局最後までそれ程ワクワク出来なかったのは前作と同じマップと同じ遊びが多かったからだと思う。
    ここが違ったら自分の中の不満点も帳消しになる程だったかもしれなくて残念。

The new mechanics are insanely fun to use. While BotW was all about solitude and lonely exploration, this game's focus is firmly on working with others - a really beautiful contrast. I'm about 80 hours in and still have so MUCH more to do. An utterly perfect game.… Expand

    If only people were to stop embarrassing themselves by calling this a DLC...

    This game is absolutely PHENOMENAL.

    This game is absolutely PHENOMENAL. It builds on the foundation of Botw adding a ton of variety in terms of missions, exploration, an unprecedented verticality, even the (hated) Korok seeds have new and different puzzles. The new powers are NOT gimmicks ( people who say so are clearly just trolling or don't really understand much about gaming, or likely both) in fact the mechanics introduced by this game have received praise from the dev community at large. This game was truly a labor of love, there are so many changes and improvements that listing them all would be impossible.

    Is it the prettiest game you'll ever see? No, but it's very pretty in its own right and definitely a sensational achievement for a console like the switch.

    If you are the special kind of player who "cannot play anything below 60 fps" then move along,
    if you still like to PLAY videogames (like when you were a kid) and haven't lost your childlike wonder and sense of amazement you will love this game. Imagine seamlessly dive from a sky island all the way to the underground, exploring caves (and caves within caves), saving villages, finding hidden treasure etc and the best thing is that you can do all of this and so much more at your own pace, guided by your own creativity, interests and sense of exploration.    … Expand

    I was immediately engrossed by the game. The atmosphere drew me right in and the circumstances around the intro makes you live in a very small dose the Link power fantasy, much like how Metroid games have often started. I won’t say more.

    If you enjoy Zelda titles and especially if you were a fan of Breath of the Wild you won’t be disappointed.

    An amazing new story of Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a beautiful, evolving and fun game.

    After playing this game for more than 275 hours and finishing all shrines and most side quests as well as exploring all of the depths I have to say that this is by far the best game I have ever played and I am playing games since 1989. Writing a long essay about it is not really necessary, just play it yourself and enjoy the ride, you won't regret it. -Unless you're some cinematic BS gameAfter playing this game for more than 275 hours and finishing all shrines and most side quests as well as exploring all of the depths I have to say that this is by far the best game I have ever played and I am playing games since 1989.

This game even 1-ups Breath of the Wild and is Nintendo's Magnum Opus.… Expand

    I wasn't sure how Nintendo would find a way to top their work in Breath of the Wild back when it came out, but I feel they have here – with years of more polish applied and refined exploration. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 71]

    The good thing is that, thanks to the limited possibilities, the creators couldn't go crazy and swing for hundreds of game miles. Instead, they created what could be called Elden Ring in a travel pack. [Issue#328]

    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.
