    Just wow, everything from the gameplay to the new abilities, the boss's and their soundtracks is amazing. I have already put in way too many hours in this masterpiece yet I still haven’t touched a tenth of what you can do. This game is a must.

Rather than sticking to the same old formula, this game takes the series to new heights by blending creativity, innovation, and the strengths of its predecessor. With fresh gameplay mechanics, an expanded world, a good storyline, and improved technical performance, Tears of the Kingdom stands as a monumental achievement. This title has the potential to contend for Game of the Year, and despite minor imperfections, it surpasses the already high standards set by its predecessor. The level of hype is justified, and anyone with the opportunity to play it should do so without delay. Beyond its numerous accomplishments, including a rich open world and expert level design, the true beauty of Tears of the Kingdom lies in its ability to reflect the player's intuition and creativity. The game's brilliance isn't just a solitary experience; it shines brightly alongside the player, creating a Legend that will undoubtedly be remembered as a pinnacle in gaming. In essence, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a remarkable achievement, deftly building upon the strengths and weaknesses of its predecessor to deliver an immersive and inventive open-world adventure that's not to be missed.… Expand

Its sandbox like creativity makes the game extremely fun, and allows puzzle solving to be less restricted and gives the player a sense of freedom. The cutscenes, side quests and boss battles are perfected. Not only that but the brand new addition of the depths and sky islands add for a lot more content, and pushes the shrine counter from 120 in its predecessor Breath of the Wild to a whopping 155. Its stunning views and unique environments offer a great experience for the user.… Expand

    Excellent game! there’s so many things to do compared to the prequel, and Link’s new skill set is fun, refreshing and very interesting; you can do almost everything you want to!

    Only downside is i wish you could build larger things, and that the house you custom build allowed you to use more than 15 blocks, but other than that, everything is great!

What the Zelda team was thinking? Instead of doing dungeons, they made those large shrines with "dungeons" in the name. I absolute hated the shrines in Breath of the Wild, hence I hate the shrines in Tears of the Kingdom. They are all the same puzzles that you can figure it out in minutes. The shrines are all the same. The underground segments are extremely boring, the sky island are all the same. The list to choose the material to fuse during battle freeze the screen and take it out the immersion of the game just rolling till you find the material you are looking for, just terrible. And the frames... Oh my, the frame rate of this game is AWFUL. The story is not so good, all the flashbacks of the past again and you need to find the boring geoglyphs' puddles. Where's the magic? The items, the dungeons, the good story? I cannot take Ganondorf anymore. Unfortunately this game sold a lot, and Nintendo will acknowledge this game as a base for future Zeldas. This game is no Zelda, this game is Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts with the word ZELDA on the cover. I'm so frustrated that one of my favourite franchises was reduced to this.… Expand

    the video game is fun, has immediate gameplay that does not tire and is capable of making you spend hundreds of hours of fun, since facing enemies and completing the various mini-games on the map is extremely fun due to the dynamism of the gameplay. thanks to the ultrahand it is possible to build incredible things and thanks to the compositor the crafting of weapons is fast and immediate. so what's wrong? well since building vehicles and completing minigames isn't the reason a person buys a Zelda game this game for me was a complete bust. Zelda as always is all about exploration and a sense of discovery, and when you fail this point you have failed the entire game. Let's start with recycling. The asset recycling in this game is disgraceful, and I honestly don't understand why people defend this, despite the fact that the game still cost 70 bucks. And stop comparing it to majora's mask which only recycled npc assets. Finding again enemies, weapons, fauna, flora and clothes from the previous game was a huge disappointment. especially when most of the enemies are bokobli, grublin, lizalfos, octorot and lynel again. also the Yigas appear in the exact same way. The map of the sky, so advertised by Nintendo, is nothing more than a group of tiny islands and copy pasted with the same puzzle. the exploration of the sky was disappointing because I find it extremely boring to explore to always find the same things. the underground may look cool at first but then it turns out to be nothing more than a wasteland with only one biome and with ridiculously repeated enemies. it has only 2 structures and it repeats them all over the map giving the feeling of exploring a procedural environment. Hyrule has remained the same, and no, I don't consider moving shrines and korooks to be a different map. I honestly found it extremely boring to explore a map on which I had already spent hundreds of hours botw. the only satisfaction was given by the caves, even if many of them are similar and a bit boring. Since Nintendo has decided that all the same rooms with a puzzle inside can very well replace the Dungeons, also in this game we have only 4 small dungeons (the castle of Hyrule has remained the same as that of botw). The temples in this game are none other than the divine beasts but dressed differently. Honestly I'm sick of this game being compared to the first zelda for NES, since the only thing they have in common is that they have an open map. in Zelda 1 dungeons were essential, just as it was essential to explore to get items without which you could not complete the game. in totk everything is made to be Optional, the really useful things are only given to you at the beginning, everything else is just finding useless things just for completion. if you don't care about Zelda or what it has been to date this game will be perfect for you, otherwise it was a complete disappointment.    … Expand

    Gameplay is great at first, but becomes somewhat repetitive closer to the end. The plot is probably the worst I've ever seen in a Zelda game and I probably would've enjoyed the game more if I skipped all the cutscenes.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom pays homage to its legacy while introducing fresh elements, earning it a solid 8 out of 10. Enchanting visuals and deep storytelling create a nostalgic yet innovative experience. Though minor technical hitches arise, the game's puzzles, combat, and characters still shine brightly, making it a must-play for fans and newcomers alike.

Autoconstruir recrea instantáneamente un dispositivo creado con Ultramano a costa de zonaite. Ascender permite al jugador moverse hacia arriba a través de superficies sólidas.El retroceso se puede utilizar en un objeto para "rebobinar" su movimiento.Regresan los Santuarios y las semillas korok.Cuando se completan los Santuarios otorgan a los jugadores una Luz de Bendición; cuando se obtienen cuatro,Link puede usarlos para aumentar la cantidad de corazones que tiene en uno o expandir el tamaño de su rueda de resistencia.Las semillas korok se puede usar para aumentar la capacidad de inventario de Link,lo que le permite tener más armas cuerpo a cuerpo, escudos o arcos.Las Profundidades a las que se accede a través de abismos en la superficie, albergan una nueva amenaza una sustancia pegajosa llamada Gloom.Cuando Link entra en contacto o es atacado por enemigos cubiertos de Gloom, su número máximo de corazones se reduce temporalmente.Esta aflicción se elimina solo cuando Link regresa a la superficie o encuentra una Raíz que Disipa Las Tinieblas en castellano,una gran planta emisora ​​​​de luz que se encuentra en las profundidades para recuperar su salud máxima.Ahora hay muchísimas más cosas para hacer, más sitios que investigar, más aventuras que vivir y, sobre todo,la calidad de todas y cada una de las actividades con las que daremos se ha incrementado exponencialmente, consiguiendo que algo tan simple como adentrarnos en una cueva resulte en algo apasionante, muy divertido y siempre diferente.Explorar el subsuelo es una experiencia muy diferente y mucho más dura.La música en las mazmorras gana intensidad a medida que activamos los dispositivos para abrir la puerta del jefe.El el juego también nos deleita con unas misiones secundarias en las que hay espacio para todo, pero que de un modo u otro se las acaban apañando para captar nuestra curiosidad y resultar interesantes con sus pequeñas historias cotidianas y sus intrigantes misterios.Como decimos, las hay de todo tipo y tan pronto nos pedirán que entreguemos un par de pescados que nos tendrán durante horas siguiendo una elaboradísima trama en la que viviremos mil y una aventuras con sus propios jefes.Ultramano es una nueva habilidad que Link puede usar en The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom para recoger objetos y moverlos.Los objetos que se pueden mover brillarán al entrar al modo Ultramano.Puede usar el botón A para recoger elementos, el D-Pad para empujar elementos hacia adelante o hacia atrás y el botón R para rotar elementos.También puedes unir diferentes objetos moviéndolos juntos y pulsando el botón A.En total, he llegado a contar más de 200 entre aventuras secundarias, pruebas heroicas y misiones secundarias, una cifra que a poco que le añadamos la búsqueda de los más de 150 santuarios, la exploración del subsuelo y el cielo la caza de los kolog,la consecución de todas las armaduras, las expediciones a las cuevas y otras muchas actividades que será mejor que descubráis por vosotros mismos, nos deja un juego abrumador y prácticamente inabarcable. Como podréis suponer, muchas misiones no os marcarán nada en el mapa y para resolverlas tendréis que atender a lo que os digan, recabar pistas y usar el cerebro.Hay puzles que te hacen sentir como Indiana Jones buscando ruinas en un desierto, fases de plataformeo que funcionan sorprendentemente bien, o hasta desafíos que parecen sacados de un juego de terror con escenarios tan oscuros que si no llevas una antorcha o usas semillas de luz, te resultará imposible ver siquiera lo que tienes a dos metros de tus ojos. Nintendo se las ingenia una y otra vez para cambiar las reglas de juego obligándote a sacar provecho de todas las nuevas habilidades de Link; y cuando llegas al santuario, te explota la cabeza con las pruebas que ahí te esperan. Olvida eso de encontrar mil y una variaciones de un mismo desafío.GOTB= GAME OF THE BILLON.BILLON= 1 000 000 000 000 años.Ningún juego podrá superar o ser mejor que THE LEGEND OF ZELDA TEARS OF THE KINGDOM… Expand

The new parts of the maps really set in good moods, and the new enemies are great, especially the hands. I was really invested with Zelda's story and loved to chase the new memory collections. The graphics are great and I love how they still sticked to the cartoony style, but just polished it instead. And the sound track is beautiful, the main theme is my number one on my playlist and just running around in all parts of the map, the music caters perfectly. They still keep lots of things from breath of the wild which makes it feel like a visit back to a familiar place.
    The game itself runs great, with myself finding no glitches while playing nor bugs. This is really impressive as I share a switch with 3 of my siblings and the fact that the switch is a tiny hand held console.
    As the story progresses more things from botw and totk just make more sense, giving the feeling of great discovery.
    But apart from the everything, the pure joy I got when I saw the game arrive was like nothing I have ever felt before. Doing the Tutorial Island reminded me of my first time playing Botw on the Wii U and it just felt so comforting. The feelings the game gives you set a new open world standard that will ever be hard to beat.

    3. All side quests were meaningless with no impact on the world at all.
    4. The world feels very artificial, with people not talking about the freaking apocalypse that was the upheaval but instead they worry more about things like fashion and traveling across the world… to a scorching hot desert with a constant sandstorm. Nah, they don’t care. Almost as if it doesn’t exist and doesn’t mater. 5. All the regional phenomena stories suck except for maybe the Zora one, that just feels tedious at times.    … Expand

    My main issue with the latest Zelda games is a lack of direction (even though I absolutely love Elden Ring where I was constantly lost). Yes, the game throws some objective markers at you but it's still overwhelming. That combined with it's lack-luster combat, unrewarding gameplay loop, boatload of puzzles and ungodly amount of walking make this a dreadful experience, the cumbersome mechanics of the Ultra-Hand and Zonai devices just added to my frustration.

    It is what it is, I don't like Baldur's Gate 3 either, it's too slow. My ADHD brain needs quick and constant stimulation otherwise I'm out, no matter how highly praised it is by critics and the general populace.
    Give me a weapon, some enemies to kill (with a good combat system) and I'm good. Leave the "wandering around aimlessly" and "finding what to do next" parts to real-life, or at least make it worth my while. None of the places look interesting or memorable.

    In conclusion, for me this game is boring, frustrating and tedious.

    The game builds itself on it's predecessor that pushes the limits of what is possible from creating crafts, to controlling time, to teleport yourself through higher place rocks.
    There are countless hours to spend here where you might actually get tired before you complete everything.

    Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game that builds on the foundations of Breath of the Wild in a number of ways.

    However, there are some areas where Tears of the Kingdom could be improved. The grinding can be a bit repetitive at times, and the game can be a bit too easy for experienced players. Overall, though, Tears of the Kingdom is a great game that is sure to please fans of the Zelda franchise.
    The new abilities are a lot of fun to use. The Ultrahand is especially versatile, and it can be used to solve puzzles, build structures, and even fight enemies.
    The story is well-written and engaging. The characters are likable and relatable, and the plot is full of twists and turns.
    The boss fights are some of the best in the series. They are challenging but fair, and they require you to use all of your skills to defeat them.
    The grinding can be a bit repetitive. There are a few areas in the game where you need to grind for materials, and this can get tedious after a while.
    Overall, I really enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom. It is a great game that is sure to please fans of the Zelda franchise. If you are looking for a fun and challenging game with a great story, then I highly recommend Tears of the Kingdom.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Grosse attente, énorme déception.
    J'ai adoré Botw, j'y ai passé des centaines d'heures, j'ai polishé ce jeu dans le moindre recoin, c'est pour dire que j'attendais ce nouvel opus avec beaucoup d'impatience.
    Dans l'ensemble Totk n'est pas un mauvais jeu, loin de là, mais Nintendo à reproduit les mêmes erreurs que dans Botw et en a commis de nouvelles.

    Points positifs :
    - Les îles dans le ciel sont vraiment sympa, c'est l'ajout le plus intéressant dans cet opus.
    - Le nouveau pouvoir d'amalgame pour les armes et les objets est top également, fini d'accumuler des milliers de ressources qui ne servent plus à rien.
    - Les grottes sont sympa
    - Les combat de fin sont plus intéressants
    - Les nouveaux costumes pour voler et grimper les murs humides
    - Les cornes des ennemis utilisables sur les armes
    - Les temples sont bien, mais trop faciles encore une fois
    - Le système de batteries pour les artefacts Soneau est intéressant

    Points négatifs :
    - Le jeu est bien trop facile dans l'ensemble, pas de sélection de niveau de difficulté
    - Une alternative aux gardiens archéoniques manque cruellement, on se promène dans un monde sans aucun dangers au coin de la rue.
    - Les "puzzles" sont d'une nullité affligeante, la solution est à 2 mètres....
    - Aucun challenge pour récupérer des morceaux de dragons
    - Le sous-sol beaucoup trop grand, vite marre de tout explorer pour trouver des coffres inutiles
    - Le sous-sol bien bien moche
    - Les récompenses bien pourries quand on collecte tous les korogus, active toutes les racines, etc...
    - Les sanctuaires sont nul dans l'ensemble, bien trop faciles, aucun challenge, et la moitié sont des bénédiction de Rauru.
    - Les coffres dans les sanctuaires nous donnent des trucs inutiles, des armes trop faibles, etc...
    - Les Yiga sont vraiment nuls, aucun intérêt.
    - Les tours sont bien trop faciles
    - Les armes qui se cassent toujours bien trop vite (toujours pas de forgeron, mais des combines abracadabrantes pour essayer de réparer les armes).
    - Aucune explications de ce qui c'est passé entre les deux opus
    - Les quêtes annexes sont pour la plupart totalement inintéressantes et trop faciles
    - On peu toujours pas aller sous l'eau
    - Défilement des objets fastidieux, bien chiant pour chaque flèche ou amalgame d'armes
    - Bien trop de tenues inutiles
    - Les doublages français sont assez médiocres (bon, au moins il y en a, pas comme sur les grosses productions PC), des erreurs de prononciation (sonAeau au lieu de soneau), voix pas adaptées aux personnages, etc... quelle idée de renommer Zonai en Soneau déjà....
    - Les chevaux sont toujours inutiles (incontrôlables), et on peu même pas les manger (tout comme les chiens et autres animaux invulnérables sans aucune raison).
    - Un peu trop de copier/coller du 1er, on sent bien la grosse flemme des développeurs.
    - Trop cher pour ce que c'est
    - 30fps en 720p en 2023, difficilement acceptable quand d'autres consoles sont à 120/144fps en 4K HDR.

    Et surtout, la fin est toujours aussi nulle que dans Botw, une fois Ganondorf vaincu on revient en arrière dans le jeu, cela ne fait aucun sens, c'est la même erreur que dans Botw, il aurait mieux fallu proposer de revenir en arrière pour terminer les quêtes qui doivent se faire avant, ou choisir de continuer le jeu en débarrassant toute la carte des monstres, plus de lune de sang, de nouvelles quêtes pour remettre le royaume en ordre, etc... Un tel DLC entre les deux opus aurait également pu faire le lien entre les deux. C'est vraiment une occasion manquée, ça gâche vraiment le jeu de ne pas avoir une vraie fin.
    Il ont eu plus de six ans pour développer ce jeu (avec pompage de 80% de Botw), on aurait du avoir un meilleur résultat.
    Il se sont aussi planté niveau date de sortie, ils auraient du sortir la nouvelle Switch en même temps (on était pas à un an près), ou au moins ajouter le jeu dans la version de la Switch version Totk.

    J'ai terminé le jeu en une quarantaine d'heures, et je n'ai plus aucune envie d'y jouer ni de terminer toutes les quêtes que je n'ai pas faites tellement ce jeu est ennuyeux.    … Expand

    If any BOTW player is wondering if theres any huge progression change in TOTK, the core of it is basically the same as BOTW. Theres a lot of gameplay elements that were changed, and the quests, dungeons and shrine puzzles are a lot cooler now, but it does end up feeling like deja vu sometimes. Even though I thought this game was definitely worth my money after playing BOTW, it's pretty reasonable if you think otherwise.    … Expand

    >no playable Zelda

    >There's references to shriek and how "he" transcends the idea of gender

    They don't outright call her a tranzy but the intention is pretty visible

    >There are only 4 dungeons (+ hyrule castle, SAME hyrule castle map)

    >Its the same area you can see in the trailer with Sidon!

    >There's a souvenir that depicts an earth globe but it's called "the universal fun balloon" which is a reference to the company making the Nintendo theme park at Orlando.

    >Zelda turns into a dragon after link has been killed off screen so she has to step in and access the secret power she had all along and save the day because the hero has nothing on a princess of wisdom (this is a exact line from the dub)

    Overall an unmitigated disaster.

El mundo es más extenso ya que añade las islas del cielo (escasas a mi parecer), y el subsuelo, que es Hyrule pero invertido. Los enemigos nuevos son muy chulos, pero son enemigos vistos en otros juegos de Zelda. Eso de fusionar lo que pilles con armas o escudos me gustó bastante, pero como he dicho, es lo típico de recolectar materiales y fabricarte armas. No es un juego para todo el mundo, si no te gusta estar farmeando materiales, esperar a los dragones para conseguir sus materiales, que la historia principal dure poco pero tengas una cantidad de secundarias que amplían la experiencia como 50 horas, pues no es para tí, y no es el mejor mundo abierto, pero sigue siendo el mejor juego para Nintendo Switch. Es un juego que está ahí, si tienes switch es imprescindible, es bastante entretenido, pero no es lo mejor del año ni de lejos, ya que ofrece lo mismo que casi todos los mundos abiertos que estén bien hechos, infinidad de horas para explorar, ir a donde quieras, farmeo intenso y luego ya si quieres seguir con la historia, la sigues, porque no estás obligado a pasártela para hacer lo que te plazca, algo que siempre gusta porque no te limita… Expand

The world is your playground in Tears of the Kingdom and it’s one of the only idea games that every grabbed that idea and went to town on its ambitions.

    Tears of the Kingdom sets a new benchmark in open world games, even more so than its predecessor. Tears also improves upon its story telling in which it tells one of the best Zelda stories to date, and may even rival Ocarina of Time’s wonderful storyline. While the game does look a bit dated, the gameplay and exploration potential more than makes up for it. Giving you verticality in sky or underground, all the adding new abilities like Fuse (which never gets old) and ascend to transverse in all new ways.

    This entry breaks new ground into the Zelda series and into gaming as a whole. It’s the new standard for open world games and any game I play in the future with this concept will be scrutinized with Tears of the Kingdom in mind. It’s a masterpiece through and through.

The ganondorf fight was really fun and every boss was cool, the ending when you catch Zelda got me so emotional.
    The only downside is the sky islands, there are very little of them wich is a bit sad, but the depths make up for it. This is a must play for any gamer in the world.

    DISAPPOINTING AND OVERRATED.

    I was never excited for this game. Every time Nintendo showed off a new trailer, I yawned. Only reason I got this was because my nephew wanted it. Admittedly, I was HOOKED at first. Exploring to find whatever new equipment you can get your hands on was addicting. Then it got old. You're pretty much exploring the same landscape from Breath of the Wild so    DISAPPOINTING AND OVERRATED.

    Admittedly, I was HOOKED at first. Exploring to find whatever new equipment you can get your hands on was addicting. Then it got old. You're pretty much exploring the same landscape from Breath of the Wild so there's no REAL big surprises. Your weapons breaking makes a return and it becomes pointless fighting enemies if your weapons are just gonna break again. I end up not wanting to use my best weapons because I don't want them to break.

    People say it's great to have so much to do, but there's nothing FUN to do! Exploring the depths is just time consuming because you're just uncovering the map and grinding for materials to upgrade your batteries or collecting enough poes to get that Dark Link armor you probably want.

    The sky islands are just..... there.

    The side quests are mostly just pointless. Most of the time I run into a NPC asking me to clear out an area or gather some stuff. Side Quest initiated. Side Quested completed. No sense of accomplishment. That's what this game is. I never feel like I'm really accomplishing anything. Nothing to look forward to.

    In all honesty, I've only beaten ONE dungeon. But I know I've seen everything there is this game has to offer me. I'm actually shocked at this personal realization to what I'm about to say. I've loved the Zelda series, it means so much to me, didn't like Skyward Sword, but honestly, I don't think I can ever continue this journey to defeat Ganon in Tears of the Kingdom. I have no motivation to do it.

    While I hated Skyward Sword, I at least finished it. Tears of the Kingdom....... I'll never finish it. I'm angry that I was right. I'm even more angrier that I spent the $70 Nintendo thought this carbon copy was worth.    … Expand

    Big worlds, amazing abilities, combat system, unique enemies and bosses.

Maintenant que le jeu est terminé, je me vois pas le reprendre pour faire tout ce qu'il me manque, je le trouve un peu trop répétitif et pour moi, le fait que la map soit quasi identique à BOTW m'a un peu dérangé.… Expand

    Mostly the same we saw on the first, I mean Zelda BOTW, but with limitless high level engineering capabilities. I had enough of the same with BOTW and I didn't enjoy the new stuff.

With a very well-developed gameplay thanks to Link's new powers, the use of his weapons combined with the materials we find and the possibility of building useful objects for the adventure make the experience very fun, in addition, the new exploration of Hyrule from the skies or the underground is something new and gives a fresh air to the map design, with excellent secondary missions and various challenges such as puzzles and demanding monsters (which force us to use strategy as the main weapon) makes everything shine despite the Shadows of the Cataclysm. The Dungeons levels design also are marvelous. Being a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, it kept most of its creatures: monsters and animals, as well as repeating some of its melodies during exploration (on horseback is where it becomes most noticeable), however the newly incorporated songs of its masterful soundtrack and well-crafted level boss fights make it a total triumph. This game is, without a doubt, a step forward in the Zelda’s future. Once again, Zelda is legend.… Expand

    I've sunken a quite a bit of time in BOTW and loved just about every aspect of the game itself, so you already know that I've been hyped for this game ever since it was announced. I just gotta say I was not disappointed, better yet, it surpassed my expectations as a long time Zelda fan. Despite the fact that it did make some quality of life improvements, it's a whole new game on its own.

Despite the fact that it did make some quality of life improvements, it's a whole new game on its own. I can kind of see why people are calling it the same, but in order to progress a story like BOTW, it kind of had to take place in hyrule again. Not to mention, I loved going back to the old places that have changed and comparing the two. Overall, incredible game, would recommend to all different types of players. Nintendo really is putting in the work and we all love it.… Expand

    Great game, love the story much more than Breath of the wild. And the building mechanics are very good and fun. And the boss fights and return of dungeons made it even better

    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.
