May 14, 2023This game took everything breath of the wild did, and did it better, and it added more too, 10/10 game
-
May 14, 2023Simply one of the best games ever! The waiting time was worthy! Since BOTW, the way that developers developed a wide world with many possibilities, it will give you a lot of time to explore the world of Hyrule.
-
May 14, 2023Freakin amazing, don’t let the review bombers change ur mind. Incredible game! Build anything, explore deep caves.. all while being a completely new experience in hyrule.
-
May 14, 2023Do NOT let the weirdos on here tell you this game is anything lower than an 8. Metacritic stop letting people review bomb games. This is why nobody respects this site. You let a bunch of toddlers who are mad that there game didn't review as high bomb the reviews. So do better.
10/10 game masterpiece don't miss it -
May 14, 2023As a huge fan of 3D Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom made me renew my love for the series. Great game!

May 14, 2023Greatest game ever, the only demerit is that I regard breathe of the wild as a trial version now.
-

May 14, 2023It is simply a masterpiece, proving that the graphics at 4k 120fps do not matter when compared to the gaming experience, even though the game is at 720p and 30fps it is very enjoyable, it has very good gameplay, very good story and simply a masterpiece.
-
May 14, 2023Really enjoying this game. Came to review because I saw it was getting bombed. This is what a sequel should be. Incredible improvements. Haven't been able to put it down

May 14, 2023I love everything about this game, got nothing to complain. Simply perfection
-
May 14, 2023Honestly, the hardware is the most disappointing thing about this game, the switch isn not powerful enough to run it, but the game is no doubt a masterpiece

May 14, 2023What a spectacular sequel to one of the best games of all time. It not only improves on the original but possibly surpasses it.
-
May 14, 2023Muy buen juego, tremenda ambientación, el estilo artístico es impecable y le queda como un guante no todo tiene que ser gráficos ultra realistas para tener buena pinta, la historia y las mazmorras también estan muy bien cuidadas y se sienten como una gran mejora con respecto a su predecesor, muy recomendado el juego
-
May 14, 2023Это очень крутая атмосферная игра с отличным продолжением сюжета новыми механиками и персонажами но так же и старыми!

May 14, 2023Overall a great sequel that delivers on nearly all possible fields. Strong recommendation.
-
May 14, 2023Wonderful game, truly recommended, the crafting new mechanic add so much content. If his predecesor give us hundreds of hours of fun this one will give us even more, also like that is harder than BOTW. Definitely a strong competitor for GOTY this year!
-
May 14, 2023My new favourite game. Amazing story, graphics, gameplay. What's not to love?
-
May 14, 2023La jugabilidad es grandiosa en todos los sentidos en donde puedes hacer prácticamente de todo y la historia tampoco decepciona, esto es uno de esos juegos que debes jugar si o si una vez en la vida.
-
May 14, 2023
-
May 14, 2023It is a great game with very ingenious mechanics that give the player freedom, creativity and a staggering amount of content.
-
May 14, 2023This game is beautiful and easily worth the money. It is so much fun, and although the mechanics are similar to BotW, it still feels fresh and amazing.
-
May 14, 2023Ich habe mit Zelda totk soviel spass wie seit langem mit keinem andern Spiel.
-
May 14, 2023Just superb. The game retains all the good stuff from Breath of the Wild, whilst also adding multiple layers (no pun intended) with brand new mechanics that can be used in so many different ways. On top of this, there’s a more present storyline with far more challenging boss encounters. Just superb
-
Jun 29, 2023Best game ever made, an evolution of one of the best game ever made. The openworld feels fresh and massive, you will be blown away by its beauty. Masterpiece
-
May 14, 2023Don’t listen to the stupid review bombers this is one of the best Zelda games and it adds two more layers to the map plus its far more immersive then breath of the wild

May 14, 2023This game makes BoTW look like a demo. Nintendo won and proved yet again that gameplay is far more important than graphics, and created two revolutionary masterpieces in a decade and raised the bars even higher after nobody was able to achieve that.
-
May 14, 2023Just cus I can, I dont even played The Game, Nintendo Always Made great games.

May 14, 2023No pensé que podría superar botw,pero es increíble los cambios de jugabilidad por las nuevas habilidades,una mejor historia y el regreso de ganondolf
-
May 14, 2023The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom is a marvelous game, might be one of the best I've ever played. I've played over 20 hours and the game came out 2 days ago. It's incredibly addictive with it's vast open world, engaging story and fleshed out world. Definitely the best Zelda in ages, maybe even the best Zelda ever! I one hundred percent recommend it too anybody with a Nintendo Switch!
-
May 14, 2023Un juego buenísimo con mucha innovación pero que no te limita en lo absoluto ya que la única limitante la pone tu creatividad e imaginación.
-
May 14, 2023Simply a perfect sequel, this Zelda evolving all the aspetcs of the previous game.
The artistic direction, the music and the old and new caracthers are unfergetable. -

-
May 14, 2023To be honest, TotK is more traditional Zelda-like than BotW. It brought me back the feeling of the first days when I knew the Zelda series.
-
May 14, 2023Really large and fun game the map is huge and amazing to explore the quests are fun too overall really good game
-
May 14, 2023It's just Legendary, when it released I played non stop until after midnight and further. It's wonderful and addicting very addicting.
-
May 14, 2023Easy game of the year and it’s not even close Nintendo did it again showing there the absolute GOAT
-
May 14, 2023Great experience that adds a ton of new things to do in Hyrule. The game provides in story and playability what graphics on the Switch cannot provide. I strongly recommend this game to anybody who enjoyed BotW

May 14, 2023The game is beautiful and I finally discover things that I was always asked and the unique way that it explains how the way of playing changes and the increase in difficulty with the enemies is a perfect change, I have never had a console and I bought the switch just to enjoy this saga and I was not disappointed
-
May 14, 2023Loving the game so far.
It gives me a creative way on how to solve puzzles and problems. If it doesn't work, I'll try a different way on how to solve it. This is really fun game. You will see that the developers really put everything into it.
The graphics isn't terrible. It only drops some frame rate from time to time but I'm not complaining. From what it's worth, 10/10 for me. -

May 14, 2023This game is an amazing sequel to BOTW! I really dont get the people who are complaining about the reused world, it has completely changed!! And there are so many amazing surprises and places. Definitely recommend.

May 14, 2023This is the Best game i've played ever all my life,I'm 30 and there's not some game like this one, BOTW was just the prologue of a new legend.
Note: down ratings are from the peopoe who hacked the game before release and haters with no arguments, "hyrule is the same place", thas isn't true you need to explore to know that the map is not the same. -
May 14, 2023An absolutely amazing game in nearly any given matter. To those claiming that it is a BOTW 1.5: That‘s utter nonsense. Yeah, it‘s Hyrule as a „land“ but there the similarities end. The land is completely different, there‘s a new world up there and a new world down below. What are you all talking about? 12-year-olds hating because they can‘t have fun anymore…nothing more.
-
May 18, 2023This Game is a masterpiece and whoever says that it's just a dlc should never rate a game ever again.

May 14, 2023This is one of the best games I've ever played. It improves upon BOTW in every way, and adds a TON of new areas to explore. The level of creativity you're able to utilize is impressive, and I'm having a lot of fun just exploring. The story is also excellent. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend you give this game a try.
-
May 14, 2023Tears of the Kingdom massively increases the standard open world games should be held to. It takes all of the ideals of its predecessor and runs with them to the absolute limit, all while maintaining a small file size on an underpowered console.

May 14, 2023The game is in every aspect better than botw, and alla the other games in this world
-
May 14, 2023Off the charts. Story, gameplay, music and mesmerising exploration. The best game ever made until now, period.
-

-
May 14, 2023Este juego es increíble, ya le he echado más de 100 horas de juego y no me entran ganas de rushearmelo e ir por Ganondorf sino seguir explorando, con todas las nuevas mecánicas implementadas este juego se siente mucho más completo que su precuela, el BOTW, la cantidad de cosas que hay en el mapa y como te entretienes con cualquiera de ellas es fascinante, simplemente un excelente juego.
-
May 14, 2023Beautiful game with awesome mechanics.
Don't let anyone tell you this game isn't worth it or that it's just a DLC for Breath of the Wild, thisbis a worthy sequel easily surpassing the first entry with a lot of innovation. -
May 25, 2023Definitivamente merece el Goty, un gran juego que todos los fans deberian probar
-
May 14, 2023This is botw on steroids you don’t just explore nature and find treasure you actually have a lot of side missions and quests to do, yes even more than botw and they feel more entertaining, there’s just so juch to do and so hyrule feels alive this time
-
May 14, 2023After playing Breath of the Wild, I was sad. I was sad because I never thought I would ever have a gaming experience like this ever again. Any sequel to this game was doomed to fail, right?
I was wrong. TOTK is a masterpiece. All I can say is go play it, experience it for yourself. If you loved BOTW as much as I did, oh boy, hope you have an extra 500 hours to spare. -
May 14, 2023It's insane how much the built on the original... I wish I could give this game an 11! You can really tell how much love was poured into this game, the creativity and cleverness in puzzles is unmatched!
-
May 14, 2023Fun, epic, awesome, stunning and creative! Son loves the walking trees and fortresses!

May 14, 2023Es simplemente superior a BTW la precuela, al final los haters le estan dando nota baja, tremendo GOTY se va a llevar 2023
-
May 14, 2023

May 14, 2023The game recreates that whimsical Zelda Adventure and sense of wonder. Hands down better than Horizon Forbidden West, which is a great game in its own right.

-
May 14, 2023A great sequel to BOTW, expands abilities and storyline. Dont believe the people saying its a copy. Nothing like COD/FIFA games year after year. Beautifully done with so much new to do. Similar map and graphics. Everything else changed. 10/10
-
May 14, 2023Uno de los mejores juegos de todos los tiempos algunos dicen que es un DLC pero es todo lo contrario, es un juego totalmente nuevo gracias a las mecánicas que posee. Una experiencia realmente unica. Recomendado al 100
-
May 14, 2023This game takes what was great about BOTW and expands on it exponentially. TOTK also takes what wasn't so great about BOTW and improves it. This game is amazing and anyone that says otherwise is intentionally review bombing.
-
May 14, 2023Sin duda uno de los mejores juegos de todos los tiempos, hay una infinidad de cosas por hacer usando tu creatividad, te atrapa desde el primer minuto de juego.
-
May 14, 2023This game is the best ever, Nintendo has managed to make a masterpiece, and enjoy the new adventure called THE LEGEND OF ZELDA TEARS OF THE KINGDOM. -GOTY
-
May 14, 2023genuinely the best game i’ve ever played. never in a game have i been so indulged in the open world for hours on end without getting bored at all. there’s so much to do that it’s near impossible to focus on the main story since you’ll come across so many other things to do
-
May 14, 2023One of the best games I ever played, don't listen to the buttheads who call it just a DLC for BOTW, they clearly ignorant and they haven't played it!
-
May 14, 2023This game is an amazing sequel to 2017s GOTY (legend of zelda breath of the wild) and I believe this game should get GoTY this year as it is just all around epic from beginning to end it is perfect a true zelda game and a truly wonderful game in general

-
May 18, 2023Que dire à part un grand merci aux développeurs. Breath of the wild était déjà exceptionnel, tears of the kingdom est un diamant. Je suis sous le charme de cette suite encore plus immense et riche que le premier était déjà. J'espère qu'il sera le goty de cette année, il le mérite largement.
-
May 14, 2023Everything you love and need in a Zelda game. It takes breath of the wild and fixes any possible complaint you may have had. It’s truly amazing.
-
May 14, 2023This game is a masterpiece, but we need a better hardware now! For me it's a 12/10 for Zelda Totk and a -2/10 for the Switch who limits my creativity..
-
May 14, 2023Absolutely amazing game. So much more than dlc. Yes a familiar world, but so much more than that. Deserves all the praise and more.
-
May 14, 2023Instant classic and totally subverted my expectations. I really liked Breath of the Wild but not as much as most. However, this literally addresses every single complaint I could've had about that game and adds on so much that I love.

Nintendo Force MagazineMar 18, 2024I 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]
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 22, 2024The 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]

Dec 28, 2023The 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.
