    Out of all my years gaming, I have never had a better experience than with this game. The build mechanics rival that of minecraft, the story rivals that of all other zelda titles, and all the magestic environment blows enterprises owned by Disney out of the water. A game does not need to be 4k and 60 fps to be the best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a creative masterpiece and improves on everything its predecessor set out to accomplish. More ways to interact with the world via ultra hand and combining, Epic dungeons that make the divine beasts look bad, and despite carrying over the same world from BOTW, so much has changed in the over world, and you have 2 new massive areas to explore via the sky and the underground. Well worth the money.… Expand

    Tears of the Kingdom is an amazing game, and I want to both talk about what I liked, as well as address some common criticisms of the game: Story: I haven’t completed the story yet, but from what I have experienced, it’s really good. Not as strong as other games in the franchise, but definitely feels like it’s following in the footsteps of the more traditional Zeldas. A new version ofTears of the Kingdom is an amazing game, and I want to both talk about what I liked, as well as address some common criticisms of the game: Story: I haven’t completed the story yet, but from what I have experienced, it’s really good. Not as strong as other games in the franchise, but definitely feels like it’s following in the footsteps of the more traditional Zeldas. A new version of memories are back, and while those memories are great, it is a little disappointing that we don’t get to play through them. The dungeons, at least the ones I’ve done, are very solid. They all have unique themes, and unique bosses. They do have a similar progression in all of them; activate a set number of things to unlock the boss. Don’t expect them to be on the quality of OoTs forest temple, or SS’s Sandship, but they are much better than the divine beasts. The bosses are pretty great, and their music is amazing. The boss of the Rito dungeon is especially memorable.
    Performance: TotK runs pretty well on switch, honestly a little better than i expected. It’s a solid 30 fps, which for a single player game is still really good. There are slight performance dips here and there, mainly dealing with large groups of enemies and lots of explosions. It’s also important to consider that the Switch is not incredibly powerful, so its performance is still good. As for graphics, it’s the same cell-shaded look as BoTW. I love the art style, but it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.
    Combat: Weapon durability is still a thing, though fuse does address is to some degree. It hasn’t been fixed the way I would’ve liked, but it is slightly better. Overall the combat is the same, though Links new abilities and new enemies make it a lot of fun. Additionally, enemies seem to have more health than in BoTW, and hit a bit harder.
    Map: The world is the same Hyrule as BoTW, but with several changes. New towns have been created, and some old areas are completely changed. While it does feel familiar, it’s changed enough to be fun to explore. The underground area is huge, and is pretty fun to explore, though I would’ve liked more diverse underground biomes. The sky islands are really fun, but are way too sparse. Overall, the world is really fun to explore.
    Conclusion: overall, TotK is an outstanding game, and a great sequel. It improves upon everything that BoTW did, as well as adding its own new ideas. If you are a fan of BoTW, or of open world games, I highly recommend. It’s my top choice for Game of the year.    … Expand

    I saw that people started to review bomb this game. When I started thinking I couldn't find any good reason as to why they would. After spending atleast 30 to 40 hours in this game, I can confidentiality say it isn't anything lower than an 8, but if you really hate it then you probably only hate it because you hate Nintendo and haven't played it. That alone isn't even a good reason, yet ofI saw that people started to review bomb this game. When I started thinking I couldn't find any good reason as to why they would. After spending atleast 30 to 40 hours in this game, I can confidentiality say it isn't anything lower than an 8, but if you really hate it then you probably only hate it because you hate Nintendo and haven't played it. That alone isn't even a good reason, yet of course people will still be dumb and come on here and review bomb it. So I decided to atleast help with that by adding my thoughts on the game and why it might just be one of the best games ever made.

    1. Starting with reason one being that this game is everything that someone could want from a sequel to one of the best games ever made. It adds upon the things that made the first game so good, it learns from the very few mistakes the first game made. Such as forcing people to buy amiibos for the best items in the game, instead in their game it gives you stuff that's simply cosmetic and good early game but nothing amazing by endgame.

    2. In reason 1, I mentioned it adds upon the parts that made the first game so good. And a few of those things were letting the player choose how they wanted to play the game, how they approached a fight a puzzle. In this game they lean into that much more with the 2 main new abilities, with those being fuse and ultrahand, allowing you to make a weapon which normally sucks into something good, or allowing you to make a robot or even a korok torture device. Both let you do so much. It's great because it let's the player have more fun by deciding what they want to do rather than be told exactly what to do.

    3. My final point is that the map which people had complained before seeing it that it'd be hyrule eith some sky islands and wouldn't be that different. Well in the end it is way different with some large variations aswell as instead of small ones people were expecting. And because people kept complaining that it was basically a dlc, they said things like "why pay 70 bucks for dlc" and "what's so next gen about this to be 70 dollars". The reason they priced it at 70 is because they knew no matter what people would buy it, by the looks of what the internet has been saying they weren't wrong. With all the people who said it was a glorified dlc being proven wrong we can now see its a true sequel by doing what most don't and that's make a better game by learning from the firsts few mistakes like I said earlier. By doing so this game has become a game that clearly deserves the price tag because it is one of the best games ever made.

    To close this all up with a nice little bow, I want to point out that the people review bombing this game can't change the fact that this game is great and that people will buy it. And even with their crappy reviews with 0 true statements about the game I just would like to remind anyone who's read this far that the game is good if you didn't enjoy the first for whatever reason, you won't like this one and that this game was made by people who love the ip and care. Nintendo as a company has fallen into being scummy from time to time but when have other companies not. Like we've just going to pretend sony hasn't tried to sabotage xbox gamepass? In the end the people who make the game are different from those who publish it. Buy it if you want to and buy it if you don't. The game runs great with frame dips for less than a second when using ultrahand with a lot of stuff on screen, but otherwise no dips. The graphics aren't bad same as the first time in that aspect but slightly elevated. Thank you for reading this far and have a good day    … Expand

    At a time I would give 10/10 to BotW. If I could play just one - this one is even better. But since I played BotW, there is less wow. I do love the graphic of these games.

I wish more developers would focus on the FUN and less for how many needles their cactus has, ray tracing and **** like that. I love that I can play it as a casual player and enjoy it, but more skilled players can find their challenge there as well. This open world is just on another level. I do not feel it forces me to grind just to progress the story. Most probably there are quests like bring me 6 goblin horns, but I cannot remember any like that. I do remember quests like that in other games which is usually very boring. (world of warcraft, Assassins creed, The Witcher,...) If someone wants any resource from me, mostly I do have it already just from messing around and if I do not have that, It usually send me to some cool cave or do some cool puzzle. The great thing is, that you can just mess around searching for new cool areas and things to do without actually wanting to progress in a storey... and when you get bored you just can go with the story, or skip most of the story - it is up to you... If you do not like doing something, you do not have to do it. Of course if you want a certain armour to feel good, well you probably need a little bit of grind for rupees or resources.. :-). Two things I do not enjoy that much are - I kinda like to be attached to a nice weapons so them breaking is breaking my heard. But i get it. If they were not breaking, everyone would just find how tho get the best weapons at the start of the game and would be OP right away. It would be nice if I could see at least when it will break. Something like a number how many hits it has left or something. I also do not like that I do not regenerate hearts over time but have to cook... all the time. Those are the two things I do not enjoy that much, but I get them. It is a great game for everyone.… Expand

The game is awesome, the things you can do are limitless, I understand people saying that is a DLC of BOTW, the mechanics of both games are the same, but with worlds apart from each other, TOTK brings us a new way of exploring hyrule and building whatever your imagination let's you, the only complain os that the runes they gave us make the game a little to easy to surpass certain shrines/ temples... but that's not the real problem once the games allow you to run free and conquer hyrule.… Expand

There is no way it would've scored higher than a 75 average. This game would be crucified by critics for low-budget graphics, poor draw distance, bad lip syncing, low unstable FPS and lack of innovation. Gamers would be roasting it by calling it a PS2 game. And then these game journalists have the audacity to rant and virtue signal over studios crunching, even though they are the main reason why crunch even exists in the first place, because every studio has to work at least 100 times harder than Nintendo to get a 90 overall Metacritic score. Playstation Studios had to crunch hard to become a critic darling with those graphics and over-produced cutscenes, but Zelda devs can make copy/paste shovelware and get treated like the Messiahs of gaming. I don't even want to hear about the Switch being underpowered. They are charging a premium next-gen price of $70, so I expect the same level of quality as PS5 and XSX. Not my fault these greedy cheapskates at Nintendo refuse to release next-gen hardware. There are hundreds, or maybe even thousands of indie games with higher quality than this trash for a cheaper price, yet get much lower scores from critics.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to touch this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Nintendo, you can make all the indie quality games you want. But when I get a $70 game with no guaranteed online multiplayer, that is where I absolutely draw the line. How dare you give me half of the game for $70. I might've actually had fun if it had online. That's the least they could do after increasing the price for this low budget game. It's funny when Zelda fans make fun of COD for being the same game every year. At least there are new maps and graphics every year, while Zelda is the same map and graphics in 6 years. It's mind boggling that this game gets universal acclaim for indie quality at $70, when others work much harder and get panned by critics and gamers.

    The construction mechanic is surprisingly fun. I was expecting to be annoyed by it, but nah I actually really enjoy being able to have at it with the various pieces of technology and being able to tie them together with Ultrahand. Clearly Nintendo saw the crazy construction videos from BotW and decided to give people more to work with.

    The weapons breakage does get annoying, and I'm much less likely to get into combat with it. Maybe if the master sword is similar to BotW once I get it back (I assume I will?), I can use that for combat and mining. Also need to figure out the best ways to farm rupees, as I want to get cold weather armour (done) and hot weather armour (not yet done) and start upgrading the pieces.

    Anyway tho putting lots of time into the game, Nintendo knows its audience, and I'm apparently part of their target group. Am about thirty shrines in with the entire surface map unlocked, so it's time to start progressing the main story with a decent number of hearts.

    Highly recommend to those who loved Breath of the Wild. Others, well, maybe try that one first.    … Expand

    It is difficult to succinctly summarize this masterpiece in words. Words elude me despite my greatest efforts, so the best way to describe the incredible excellence of Tears of the Kingdom is by explaining how it impacted my life. Prior to the game’s release, I was your standard big apple lawyer who did not have a life outside of work; I was no different to those World of Warcraft players who dedicated every single waking moment of their lives grinding hours away for a cause that - ultimately - was meaningless. My girlfriend (and eventual fiancee) of four years left me after months of only being able to spend, at most, eight hours a week with her. She said it was a blameless break-up, but I knew it was my fault, and even now I still regret that I didn’t spend enough time with her.. Shortly after she left me, I was dropped into a world of sheer loneliness, much like the chasms in the depths of Hyrule. My life as a lawyer felt more like that of a mining Mokoblin than a brave explorer on the surface. My days comprised sitting at my desk for 16 hours a day, journeying to and from the office for around two hours, and then sleeping for a maximum of five hours total. Eating a full meal was mostly a luxury, although I didn’t feel the urge to eat on account of my severe depression. I didn’t really live at this point: I became a semi-sentient automated creature that lived in a sort of twilight. I was aware of my existence, but felt no desire to engage with it. In 2022, Nintendo announced the release date for Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to a game that I’d invested hundreds of hours into while I was still studying for my degree. I thoroughly enjoyed Breath of the Wild, and I was excited to see what Tears of the Kingdom had in store. I must admit that I doubted the extent to which Tears of the Kingdom could surpass its predecessor, a widely acclaimed game that is equally revered as a masterpiece. Still, I was happy to indulge into any activity to at least feel something. Fast forward to midnight on 12 May 2023. I had pre-downloaded the game in the morning prior to going to work, and felt some excitement for the first time, knowing I’d be able to play an enjoyable game; at the very least, it would connect me with my younger self, like a sort of nostalgic trance to alleviate the emptiness of my present day.

    This. Game. Is. Incredible. The sheer freedom to explore; the freedom to test new weapons, foods, items; the freedom to build novel machines and traverse the sky, the surface, the depths; the freedom to speak with whomever, fight whomever, defend whomever, and create whatever. I was limitless. The period of creative drought that plagued me for years had suddenly - overnight - ended with a deluge of creative freedom and curiosity. There was no barrier to anything in this world; the only limitations in any moment were my creativity and commitment to solve problems. I was able to play five hours before having to go to work. I didn’t sleep that night, but I didn’t need to: the unprecedented excitement and thrill that I felt in those short hours of gameplay left me energised and hungry for more. It was as if I was reborn as a new human being. Work was miraculously quiet over the weekend, and I was able to dedicate 40 hours into the game, having spent only four hours a night sleeping. I did not move from my couch; I didn’t need to: I had nowhere else to be, as the entire world was right at my fingertips, ready for me to unlock every inch of the surface, sky, and chasms like a sealed gate of eon waiting to be opened. In my journeys across Hyrule, I began to reflect on my own childhood: the years playing different Zelda games as I grew up. It was as if every single Zelda game was designed to lead up to this moment, and all of my life’s experiences were predestined for me to enjoy it. I began to recall what happiness felt like, I began to remember what it meant to be free. I began to see that life wasn’t about grinding countless hours into a job to make enough money to live “comfortably”. How is life comfortable if you spend 16 hours at a desk with your back arched the whole time? When I fought my first temple boss, I remembered what it meant to be courageous and strategic; that sometimes, the best solutions are the simplest ones. My hours of gameplay taught me more about myself than my professional therapist did in two years. I wrote my notice last night, and I intend to resign tomorrow. I have enough unspent money to sustain myself for a few months, and I intend to delve deeper into this game to understand what further courage and meaning I can derive for myself. For my own life.    … Expand

However, almost every area of the map has been renovated to accommodate to the new play style and Link's new skills, let alone the addition of two completely new layers of the world. I can see a lot of huge improvement from BotW, such as the diversity in material expending and weapon forging, a real three dimension world, companions, a deeper story, better boss battles, etc. I'm not a big fan of crafting and constructing, but I can imagine how appealing these could be to those players with the interest and a creative mind (yes I'm referring to the huge Minecraft community). There is no doubt that TotK is built upon BotW, but it's a perfection of not just BotW, but also the entire Zelda series.

    Also something I’m glad to see is a lot more unique enemies and bosses as that was one complaint I had with Botw. Another complaint I had with Botw was weapon durability which fusing has somewhat helped to Negate and it also allows for some really cool weapons.

    Overall yes Botw layered the ground work and this game couldn’t happen without it but this game took that open world masterpiece of a formula and damn near perfected it so I’m glad to say this is easily in my top 5 favourite games of all time and the best Zelda game.

This latest installment not only showcases remarkable innovation, but it flawlessly executes these novel features, defying expectations and proving itselfThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that deserves every accolade it receives, for it embodies the essence of limitless possibilities and introduces groundbreaking mechanics seldom seen in the realm of video games. This latest installment not only showcases remarkable innovation, but it flawlessly executes these novel features, defying expectations and proving itself bug-free throughout countless hours of gameplay.

    One of the game's greatest strengths lies in its near-infinite potential for tackling its diverse challenges. The developers have masterfully crafted a world that encourages players to think creatively and adapt to various situations. The choices at our disposal are seemingly boundless, allowing us to approach each hurdle with an unparalleled level of freedom. The depth and breadth of these possibilities are awe-inspiring, leaving players with a sense of astonishment and a thirst for exploration.

    Furthermore, the introduction of new mechanics is a testament to the game's innovative nature. These mechanics not only broaden the horizons of the Zelda franchise, but they also demonstrate a boldness rarely seen in video games. While other titles shy away from implementing such intricate actions due to the potential problems they may create, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fearlessly embraces them. The result is a seamless integration of mechanics that open up thousands of possibilities, enriching the gameplay experience beyond imagination.

    Remarkably, despite the complexity and ambition of the game, not a single bug mars the experience. The attention to detail and the dedication of the development team shine through, as they have meticulously crafted a polished and bug-free adventure. This level of quality is a testament to their commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience, and it ensures that players can immerse themselves fully in the world without any technical distractions.

    While Tears of the Kingdom maintains the beloved aesthetic style of its predecessor, it is the captivating storyline that truly captivates players. Though it adheres to the classic Zelda formula, it manages to surpass expectations, delivering a narrative that not only meets but exceeds even the loftiest of expectations. It strikes the perfect balance between familiarity and innovation, captivating both newcomers and long-time fans alike. The story takes unexpected twists and turns, pulling at our heartstrings and evoking a range of emotions throughout the journey.

    In conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stands as a testament to the magic of adventure and the boundless potential of video games. Its almost infinite array of possibilities for approaching challenges, combined with groundbreaking mechanics flawlessly implemented, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The absence of any bugs reinforces the dedication and craftsmanship behind this masterpiece.

    Moreover, the game retains the iconic Zelda aesthetic while delivering a story that surpasses expectations, leaving players with a sense of wonder and fulfillment. Tears of the Kingdom is a true gem that enriches the Zelda legacy and sets new standards for the Zelda’s saga.

    P.D. To those who have expressed their opinion about TLoZ: TotK as if it were just an overrated and generic DLC... Perhaps there has been a slight confusion regarding the expectations that were set.

    Let us remember that Tears of the Kingdom is, in fact, a sequel. As such, it builds upon the rich history and gameplay that have characterized the Zelda franchise. We can't expect a sequel to completely reinvent the wheel, can we?

    Now, let's discuss those who believe that the story is too short and that the rest of the content boils down to trivial add-ons. In the Zelda series, there has always been a special magic in exploring environments, unraveling secrets, and immersing oneself in side quests. After all, that's part of the fun! So, perhaps, a little more appreciation is needed for the intricate and holistic nature of the Zelda experience.

    In summary, dear players, I invite you to embrace the essence and charm of Tears of the Kingdom. It is a sequel that builds upon its predecessors, providing a captivating and challenging adventure. So, before judging it as a mere DLC or undermining its content, take a moment to immerse yourself in the world of Hyrule and discover the wonders that await.

    May your future adventures in Tears of the Kingdom be filled with awe and excitement!    … Expand

    Absolutely breathtaking. Better than BOTW in nearly every sense. The world is bigger and better, and while i have just finished the main storyline, I still have hours more to go to find all this game has to offer. My only real complaint is the lack of post game- it uses the same "star profile" system that BOTW uses, which I wasn't a fan of then and feels even more disappointing this time.Absolutely breathtaking.

The Sage power system is also much clunkier than it's predecessor (aka blessings from the champions).

    Nintendo surpassed even Breath of the Wild in all belongings. It's feels fantastic and they added a lot of convenient features, which I missed at botw. The world itself is a lot richer now and I love it!

    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. 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.

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

    Loved the fact that I get to return to Hyrule in this new way with all the added stuff. The original was amazing for how it allowed us to break and use its own game physics to do crazy things. This is just that on steroids and so much fun. Also love how this was a direct sequel to botw. If there was ever a Link and Zelda I wanted to see "what happened after" for, it was these two.

    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.
