    Dieses Spiel ist sehr besonders. Es verwendet die gleiche Welt aber in vielen Änderungen und es hat den Untergrund und die Himmelsinseln. Es fühlt sich wie ein komplett neues Spiel an. Die Story ist sehr gut.
    Die Zwischensequenzen sind ein Meisterwerk.
    Ein Muss für jeden Switch Besitzer!

    totk makes you feel like botw was only a tech demo and it shows
    totk delivers on what fans have been wanting for years and it gives it all

    it improved on it self and added so much more
    you can approach a fight in any way you like : may it be straight in to battle. stealth, bow and arrow or make the most car like thing destryoing anything in there path

It surpasses its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, in almost every aspect, delivering an unforgettable Zelda experience.

    Pros: Amazing new mechanic, that need to have in every game from now on. The replay value is so great that I have replayed this game twice since launched, and it took me nearly 250 hours of playtime.
    Cons: Visually the same as BOTW. The limited hardware is because of the old Switch system.

    Simple review: The best game in the series by far.

The added difficulty of the enemies is great and the return of dungeons and dungeon bosses is really nice. While the game is amazing it doesn’t mean it’s perfect and I still have a few gripes with it. The lack of connectivity between the two games is definitely one of the biggest flaws in my opinion, as well as the low amounts of sky islands. The dungeons, while I’m glad they are back feel kind of the same besides the environment, “activate 4 of this thing and fight the boss” that’s basically it. The sage abilities are also really underwhelming compared to the champion abilities in botw. But even with these flaws, I think the game is still the best Zelda game, even topping botw in my opinion.… Expand

    One of the best games I have ever played. The world is full of content, and exploration feels rewarding. The game also has many puzzles, and the combat is also amazing. The only downside that I can think of is the story. It's good, but it's not great. It's the usual good vs evil, and I hoped they would try something different with Ganondorf.

Although I’ve poured 90+ hours into this game, I am joyous and amazed to say that I keep finding newer things every day and it is such a relieving experience! This game is definitely a masterpiece of the masterpieces, a game that would never be topped. This game, although it costs $60 on Amazon, is totally worth every cent. When I first started the game, I was amazed by the complexity and beauty of everything. The new Constructs were beautifully designed, the new horns of the enemies fit them so well! (My personal favorites are the silver Lizalfos and silver Lynel horns.) The new abilities are, what me and my friends call ‘Runes on Steroids’ because of their usages and similarities. Then there are the Depths. Whoo! How did Nintendo hide this much of a secret without it getting leaked? All in all, I could rant about this game for hours on end, but I’m much too tired right now, but this game, of course is a 10/10 must-play for me and you should buy it!… Expand

    this might be a good development from botw if the game was balanced and the combat system truly thought out, but coupled with input lag, stubborn predictive pathing that makes you do things you never pressed the buttons for, and the fact that so many of the regular enemies are just irritatingly strong bullet sponges, it just makes for a highly frustrating experience with very inconsistent behavior that makes every combat entirely 1 sided. the fact that i can't really make healing items anymore just adds to this, since i'm not realistically able to prepare for difficult combat in the way that any other game in the series would allow. if they wanted to make this more similar to older zelda games, then they should stop making it so difficult to stock up, since it's ALWAYS been easy to collect a bunch of fairies or potions in every single entry prior to this. the fairy fountains don't even work right on the sky islands, since our companions will scare them away even if the fountain doesnt have a built in rocket archer that immediately makes them leave as soon as we arrive, whether we kill it or it shoots at us.

    the majority of quests, main or side, are outrageously bugged, the rewards for minibosses are often just useless amiibo drops that nintendo made stop working since botw, the visuals are decidedly more gloomy, less detailed, and lower contrast, there are far too many obnoxiously slow and repetitive cutscenes, NPCs talk WAY too much and say completely pointless and convoluted things that make it seem like the creators were trying to show off their middle of the road english skills, and all of these aspects make totk's hyrule a place that i simply don't feel enthusiastic about exploring. this game is more of a headache than a source of relaxation or entertainment, and that's really disappointing given just how many years nintendo had to make a finished sequel out of a world and platform that they had already made 90% of. yes, there is still a lot of cool stuff in this game, but it's just buried under a heap of unfinished jank. the developers CLEARLY saw how bad the recent pokemon games were and decided they didn't need to bring any kind of integrity to this new project.

    TLDR: if they don't patch this heavily, i'm never buying another zelda game, and it's really messed up that they are screwing with my childhood like this. i guess i can always go back to ocarina of time romhacks.]    … Expand

    One of, if not my favourite game of all time. This game improves upon Breath of the Wild in every way. I only really have two gripes with the game. I dislike the fact that there is a ton of Rauru's blessing shrines, and lack of interesting sky islands to explore, and a low amount of them overall. Overall, this game is phenomenal

    After playing Breath of the Wild, I thought there won't be a game that could be better than it. But, Tears of Kingdom did it!
    It gives players more exploration, more creativity and more imaginations. Everyone could find their own ways to play this game. Both the main plot and side-quests are lovely and remarkable.

    Builds off the floor that Breath of the Wild established. It's still more of the same, and perhaps is TOO similar. A lot of verticality & depth to exploration, Definitely is just a fun sandbox that's slightly better than the predecessor, and really why I can't rate it higher is because it's nothing "new" but purely a more complete BotW.

    2. Добавленное подземелье это просто огромная пустая локация с повторяющимися боссами и врагами. Там по сути нет сюжетных миссий. Из побочных более или менее интересных это клан ига. Такое ощущение что эту локацию добавили просто, что бы хоть как-то оправдать ценник в 70$ Для сюежта который тут кстати очень плохой ее можно почти не трогать.
    3. небесных островов довольно мало и они вписаны в сюжет довольно странным образом.
    Ну а теперь о самой игре.
    Сюжет ужасен. Он мало того, что перечеркивает весь сюжет botw он еще и ломает повествование. Если описать его без существенных сполеров. То в прошлом люди натворили бед и в место того что бы их решить. Они их оставили потомкам. Город говоря что потомки разберутся. Ну а вы потомок вот и расхлебывайте. Но даже без этого возникает много вопросов. Даже не надейтесь, что вам объяснят где были эти острова в botw и почему мы их не видели. Где был еще одни дракон который появился в этой части. Куда исчезла раса которая была в botw. Кто такие мудрецы и почему их нет тут. Каким образом святилище борятся со злом и как это Раурус смог их построить. Кто такой Рауроус. Почему все в этом мире забыли про технологии и роботов. В общем вопросов у вас будет море.
    Боевая система. Она стала еще хуже. Мало того, что вам теперь нужно запоминать где лежит более или менее хорошее оружие. Так вам теперь надо еще и запомнить где лежит улучшение которое сделает ваше оружие лучше. Да вы можете грейдить оружие. НО
    1 если оружие не грейдить оно ломается за 3-5 ударов. и имеет очень маленький урон.
    2 все улучшения имеют уровень. То есть если вы взяли рог бокоблина то он к любому оружую прибавить допустим 6. А там королевский рог белого бокоблина добавит 40. Понятно, что к хорошему оружию вы не будете присобачивать хлам. Отсюда вся способность объединения идет нах. Мало того если оружие уже почти сломано и вы объедините его с хорошим улучшением то оружие останется сломанным. Так что улучшением починить оружие нельзя.
    Ну и на сладкое способности.
    Они хуже и скучнее. Чаромонтаж особого разнообразия не дает. Комбикинез - прикольно побаловаться но жрет много ресурсов. Чаропортал - сокращение дистанци. Способность ситуативная. Естественно без нее некоторые данжи не пройти. Автореверс - скучная хрень. Применяется очень редко. Реконструктор - позволяет воссоздать ваши изобретения если вы их сохранили. Для этого нужны либо ресурсы либо сами предметы. И то и то можно фармить. Если вам это нравится. Для сюжета не нужен.    … Expand

    Probably haven't get the paraglider or even still holding that broken ass master sword. because it didn't indicate where is the first three shrine I understand people who only play games that tell you where to go and players that only play game with guides will get frustrated. what I can say is the fun haven't started and they are here to reviewing the game
    Reused material and BOTW DLC
    I don't think those people actually explore the map much, every side village have changed some finished building some need to rebuild. not to mention that BOTW doesn't even have caves its all empty mountain, IMO BOTW feels more empty after I play TOTK. and the depth and the sky Island its just fun.
    The Price
    nothing much to say around here, I think the game is worth the price.
    Graphics
    I only have fps drop when I use ultra hand to move around but tbh I rarely need to walk around with a ultra hand active.
    weapons
    You can fix weapons and have New weapon gain from the depth So I think people just doesn't discover that they can do things like this, which is part of the gameplay to discover.
    personal tips
    If you are a sheep who can't do anything without a guide yes this game will get bored to you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What. A. Game.

    They took one of the best games ever made, 5-6 years of development time, and a big team of passionate video game developers... How could this ever go wrong? They could have made a record breaking game with just 2-3 years but no, they decided they want to take their time with it, and they did it again. They made it even better somehow, no idea how, but they did.

    The story is so amazing and definitely deserves a spot as one of the most beautiful stories in the Zelda franchise. We also got a lot of lore and learned more about the Zonai, which I really enjoyed. I really hope the next game builds even more on this, all these time lines and essays about when each game takes place can give one a real headache.

    The enemies in this game are crazy. I do still miss the guardians from BOTW, but the new ones more than fill their spot. I love how you are just exploring the world, picking up some mushrooms, looking at some deer, and then all of the sudden the sky turns red, five hands come out of the ground, and they just start coming after you. They pick you up, start infecting you with gloom, you try to run away but they are too fast and catch you again... So scary and I love it. The same with the 3 headed dragon, I just wanted to take a picture of it and then it chased me for what felt like half of the map and then just laser beamed me. It feels amazing progressing through the game and then being strong enough to fight monsters that felt unbeatable, to killing them with ease.

    And they added one of the best mechanics, fuse. It's honestly so funny people complaining that it's just Minecraft, like what? Have you ever played Minecraft in your life? When do you put a fan on a stick and fly on a hoverboard in Minecraft? When do you find a fossil in a cave, put a float ball beneath it, put canons on it, and have a skeleton pirate ship in Minecraft? And even IF it were similar to Minecraft, which as someone who has played Minecraft for years can confirm it's not, how would that be a bad thing? Minecraft is one of the most loved games, even in 2023 and it's over a decade old. No idea what people are smoking nowadays, but I built myself an awesome robot snail that freezes all enemies in an area and I love it. I call him Garry.

    It's too much stuff for one review, you could write a whole book on this game, you could easily make a 10 hour youtube video just talking about this masterpiece. It's the middle of the year as of writing this review, and there is not a single doubt in my mind that this is GOTY23. Games like this don't come around often, so take your time with it.    … Expand

    BotW was 10/10 in my opinion. It brought on something new and fresh. Tears of the Kingdom is reusing the same world, music and most assets from BotW. It feels, as several others have pointed out, like a DLC for BotW. I would have given it a higher score if the game was priced reasonably, but it's not ($70 for a "DLC").

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tears of the Kingdom is a game that is too afraid to create its own identity. It follows Breath of the Wild's formula nearly verbatim, with a few new mechanics sprinkled in. You wake up with your powers gone, have to complete four tutorial shrines to leave the starting area, travel to the same four regions to solve their problems, collect Korok seeds to expand your inventory, complete shrines to increase your health and stamina, go to specific locations to see memories, all while exploring an essentially unchanged world from Breath of the Wild.

    The new additions like the Sky and Depths are underwhelming at best, with both areas feeling like the same formations copy and pasted ad nauseam. They ultimately add very little to the world and lack the care and thought put into Breath of the Wild's map. There are also some strange continuity errors between the two games, with Tears of the Kingdom seemingly retconning several things from Breath of the Wild.

    The new abilities are enjoyable, and definitely an upgrade from the previous game's. The temples, bosses, and story are improved, but only marginally. The greater enemy variety is very nice though, mostly fixing one of the biggest problems with Breath of the Wild.

    While the overall package may have more content than it's predecessor, it is unable to recapture the magic of exploring this version of Hyrule for the first time. Through the entirety of my playthrough, I was just wishing I could have played Breath of the Wild for the first time again.    … Expand

Las posibilidades son muchísimas, los agregados al mapa base de BOTW son tantos que la exploración está a otro nivel y la historia tiene mas presencia en el juego a diferencia del anterior.

    En cuanto a la experiencia gráfica, creo que está igual que el anterior, pero a mi BOTW me parece muy muy bonito y es un diseño artístico que, si o si, hubiera dejado en una secuela. Simplemente es igual o tal vez mejor considerando los mapas del cielo y el subsuelo, y cada uno tiene sus diseños e iluminaciones distintas a las del mapa base. El rendimiento también es igual. Un rendimiento mediano, que a veces tiene sus carencias.

    Las mecánicas diferencian este juego del BOTW. Ambos juegos son muy parecidos (obviamente) pero se juegan distinto. Considero que éste juego es más difícil en su gameplay y así mismo, es mas amplio; cabe mencionar que hay ciertos elementos y mecánicas que extraño de BOTW, pero son cosas que me hacen recordar constantemente que estoy jugando otro juego y no otra vez BOTW con otro título en la portada.
    La historia desde un inicio tiene presencia. Si bien, reconozco y le adjudico un "Pero" al juego, por inconsistencias en la historia y haber recurrido a ciertas modalidades del juego anterior, tambien he de decir que la historia se siente que ocurre dentro del juego y no en el pasado como en BOTW, (que no es malo pero pudo ser mejor empleada).

    Nintendo recurrió a ciertas formas de contar la historia como lo hizo en el juego anterior, pero creo que acá supo emplearlas un poco mejor y hace que el argumento se sienta mejor contado. Te cuentan la historia de una forma mas tradicional y consistente en vez de solo cinemáticas puntuales y cinemáticas en formas de recuerdos (Por supuesto que hay cinemáticas como en el juego anterior pero son más largas, y también hay más escenas dentro del gameplay(sin voces). BOTW se caracterizó por contar la historia a través de recuerdos y los diarios de los personajes mas importantes, y este elemento permanece pero, personalmente, sentí como si el juego me contara la historia de una forma un poco más práctica y directa.

    One of the assets of this game is you have the freedom to do as much or as little as you like. There are tons of shrines and side quests that could take hundreds of hours, or you can approach the main quests more directly, opting for minimal side content. I appreciated this; after about 100 hours, I felt ready to move on.

    The creativity of building using Zonai devices is limited somewhat by the need for resources, which must be farmed. This is not especially satisfying. In fact, anything requiring combat is underwhelming, much like BOTW. Fusing weapons is an interesting new layer to what was present in BOTW, but it doesn't do anything to fundamentally alter the combat.    … Expand

    The underground areas are the most boring pathetic thing they could have added. Kilometers of copy-pasted landscape in the dark with nothing going on, horribly boring experience. The sky islands are… nice, I guess? Shrines and dungeons did improve, but it’s not what makes this game great.

    Still, the ability to jump high in the sky kills ground exploration. Ultrahand is a fun mechanics but it’s slower and sluggish in everything you may want to accomplish with that. There’s always an easier faster solution.

    Great game, bad sequel.    … Expand

    Work of art. Massive step up from BOTW (breath of the wild), and improves on everything disliked about it. Incredibly fun and I have already spent over 150 hours playing this masterpiece. The NPC interactions, the dungeons, the bosses, the combat, the enemies, the mechanisms, EVERYTHING is perfect about this game. Strongly recommend, you will have alot of fun, it's a huge time killer.

    This game is awesome. I wouldn't say it is perfect but it's definitely one of the best open world games out there. Everything is connected and feels at the right place. There is just endless exploration in this world. I didn't play Breath of the Wild at the time so I can't say if TOTK is far better than this one, but I guess it is certainly a great continuation, I would say. The only thingThis game is awesome.

The only thing that annoyed me a little was the close combat mechanics that I found a bit off/imprecise. I would also like Nintendo to add more voiceover for their characters instead of relying almost all the time on text pop-ups... Anyway, the 150 hours I spent in Hyrule were absolutely worth it and I'm not even done with the 100%. In my eyes, this game is a 9/10, totally recommend it.… 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.
