    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most fun and creative Zelda games of all time. Being able to create machines with Ultrahand allows for some incredible and useful contraptions to help with otherwise tedious jobs. The storyline is one of the best out of all video games and the physics are incredible. I also really enjoy all the new additions to the world, such as the mysterious caves, the diverse sky islands, and the hostile Depths. Overall, it's an incredible game that all Zelda fans should play.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The way this game took the story and world left off from breath of the wild and turned it into something so fresh yet nostalgic is nothing short of phenomenal. They created a story that expands outside of that in the previous game in all directions. The world is deeply enriched not only on the surface with many new shrines, caves, and updated towns, but fully new maps in the sky and depth. One of the most impressive things of all is the physics mechanics build for this game. Zonai devices such as hover stones, stakes, fans, springs, and so much more help the player have the freedom to explore the world and make creations all their own.… Expand

    The way they adapted the map and expanded it to have an equally large map in the depths and also have the islands of the sky is incredible, I can't even imagine how difficult it was for the developers to program all the fusions and interactions that come with this mechanic.

    El día que salio Breath Of The Wild nadie creía que algo lo pudiera superar y el día que se anunció su escuela las expectativas estaban en las nubes y otros preocupados por el temor de no poder superar lo entregado por BTOW, el día que salió oficialmente nadie se podía creer que Nintendo haya podido por mucho su precuela opaca por completo BTOW con sus nuevas mecánicas y el mapa de HyruleEl día que salio Breath Of The Wild nadie creía que algo lo pudiera superar y el día que se anunció su escuela las expectativas estaban en las nubes y otros preocupados por el temor de no poder superar lo entregado por BTOW, el día que salió oficialmente nadie se podía creer que Nintendo haya podido por mucho su precuela opaca por completo BTOW con sus nuevas mecánicas y el mapa de Hyrule retabilizado, realmente no me gustaría indagar mucho en el juego por el motivo de que igual que BTOW su secuela es algo que se vive una vez.
    Mi puntuación final es un 9, si no pongo un 10 es por que el juego tiene ciertas carencias que muestran que la Switch ya necesita una nueva revisión o nueva consola mas actual ya que algunos bajones de framerate en zonas muy concretas cómo kakariko suele aurrinar mucho la inmersión, o temas de la resolución y que este capado a 30 fps    … Expand

    very nice，是我今年玩过最棒的游戏了，余料建造和究极手的自由组合非常有创意。结局的演出效果非常棒，主题曲一响眼泪都要流出来了，虽然地表地图和上一作看似一模一样，但是实际玩起来根本不会注意到，因为增加了很多洞穴和其他的内容

    La fórmula mágica de "Zelda: TOTK" combina una narrativa cautivadora, rompecabezas ingeniosos, exploración libre y combates emocionantes. La música siempre memorable y los mundos ricamente detallados solo mejoran la experiencia.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 三个月，140+小时，当结局CG终于播放完时，我发出了一声混杂着感慨、满足和放松的叹息。

    和前作《旷野之息》相比，这一作多了一段比较充实的前置剧情，既交代了事件起因，也能很好地表现出人物性格和关系。尤其是和前作时隔六年，能再次看到熟悉的塞尔达公主、观察到她与林克之间熟悉的互动细节，让我相当感动。

    可惜这段互动没能持续几分钟。之后魔王苏醒，天地巨变，公主不知所踪。这次再醒来，就是在「新手村」初始空岛上了。这里给我留下的第一印象，就是截然不同的氛围和生态：金黄色的树木和草地，白色的断壁残垣，厚重青铜色的管家魔像和守卫魔像。这些色彩组合在一起，配上一早一晚准时响起的空旷钟声，使得空岛虽然古旧荒凉，却依然不失圣洁之感。

    落到地面之后，熟悉的海拉鲁大地在眼前展开。尽管主要地形和前作相比没发生太大的变化，但是在原来的基础上多出来的错综复杂的洞窟，让地图呈现出了新的样貌。再加上到处都有从天而降或是嵌进山体的巨石，配合上时间倒转、通天术等技能，可以实现人物高度的迅速上升。前作里攀爬起来费时费力的高山，现在不再能成为探索的阻碍，反而成了随时随地发现新惊喜的藏宝地。

    因此，拖慢前进步伐的不再是纯粹的障碍，而是玩家自发的探索欲望，这是我认为《王国之泪》的一个高明之处。更不用提到处散落的各种各样的支线、怪物，以及需要护送的呀哈哈，总有那么几样东西会让你忍不住停下脚步。我一开始是要做什么事来着？我都玩了两个小时了为什么还在做别的事？——在海拉鲁大地上向着新的目的地进发时，这样的体验几乎成为了常态，却不会给我留下负面感受，我想就是这个原因。

    当然对于前期孑然一身的林克来讲，更高密度的内容也意味着更高的难度。缺装备、武器差、血量上限低，都降低了战斗的容错率。好在刚刚落地就能迅速抵达的「监视堡垒」是自己人的地方，这里的NPC会永远给予林克支持：床可以免费使用，灶台的火永远燃着，有一些基础的武器可以随时取用，还有数名已经是老朋友的研究员，会为林克指明探索的方向。这些细节都为玩家快速过渡到中期提供了支持。

    在前作《旷野之息》中，认识林克的NPC寥寥无几，所能提供的帮助和指引也比较粗略，从始至终林克都是自由而孤独地四处探索。而到了《王国之泪》，从最开始的「监视堡垒」，我就能明显地感觉到大量的信任、敬意与支持，被这些真诚的情感包围的感觉让我相当满足。

    这种支持感在我遇到第一个讨伐队任务时达到了顶峰。跟着讨伐队一起向怪物营地冲锋时，那种「我不是一个人在战斗」的真切感受差点让我哭出来（好吧，我承认前作里实在是太孤独了）。

    大小和地上区域一样的地底世界，再次给了我不小的震撼，因为这几乎意味着多了一倍的内容量。我也终于明白了为什么有人说「《旷野之息》是《王国之泪》的demo」——相比之下，本作的大地图由一个变为了天空、大地、地底三个，内容更丰富，情节塑造也更饱满，难免给人留下完成度更高的印象。    … Expand

    I had been looking forward to this game since I finished Breath of the Wild five years ago. I had sky high expectations and was slightly worried I wouldn't enjoy Tears of the Kingdom as much as I did my Breath of the Wild playthrough, partially because I had just spent 200 hours on Elden Ring and my standards for an open world game have gone through the roof.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was incredible. While it uses the same map, this game was in a unique position as a sequel because you get to see the world change and how it’s adapted. The new additions were great with the caves, sky islands, and depths. The sky islands could be more expansive but they’re still impressive. The story is leaps and bounds better than botw and while the voice acting is still meh, it’s much improved from the last game and Matt Mercer kills it as Ganondorf. The actors for Sonia and rarue were also pretty good. The music was incredible. Every new track fits the setting perfectly and the boss tracks are bangers. The regional missions are cool and the temples are far better than the divine beasts. They aren’t traditional dungeons but each one has a unique theme and the puzzles are still fun. The new abilities are also great and add so much to the progression of the game. The durability was made even more fun because of the fuse ability, and being able to make vehicles with untrahand in so cool. The physics are insane and the fact that this game runs on a switch is a testament to the incredible game design. The final boss is the best finale in the Zelda series and looks and plays fantastically. One of the best games of all time, no question.… 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.
