    This is by far the greatest game I have ever had the pleasure of playing. Most of the people rating it 0 played for 5 minutes and decided to hate it because it doesn’t run like games designed for supercomputers. This is definitely a must for anyone who enjoys good video games

    Understandable that the game is a copy and paste to BOTW. However, TOTK has many hours of enjoyment and challenge. Soaring the skies above Hyrule or exploring the under dark depths, you will definitely put long hours into this game.

    Of course, this game has flaws, but from my experience the state that the game is in was better compared to most triple A video games. Some framerate issues rarely occur but they are not game breaking. As TOTK, builds upon its predecessor in gameplay the storytelling is about the same but has different elements to continue the lore from BOTW. It will be interesting to see where future Zelda games go from here.

    TOTK for me is 10 out of 10. For being a magnificent game in terms of gameplay and building upon the storyline. Not to mention the building mechanic of fanplanes, hovercrafts or even a tank to eliminate Bokoblins or Hinox. Definitely a game I would recommend playing.    … Expand

    A really great game that will give you hours and hours of entertainment.
    Good optimization for a console that is not at the top of graphics or power, but it shows the work of a good optimization.
    The prize is higher than other Nintendo games but is worth it.
    I don't have anything bad to say about this game.

    This game is getting reviewed bombed only because some are attempting to prevent Zelda from getting the The Game Of The Year Award. Really surprised this game can even run on The Switch and many talk about lag but that will eventually be patched up. This game is their priority...anyways easily one of the best games ever made so I will keep this at that and spoiler free.

While I'm not denying that you can be a Zelda fan just by playing that one game, it sure does make it hard for some people to be retrospective on a series they've literally played a single entry to (and the most recent one at that). if you're going to play this game i have a couple things you shouyld do beforehand: 1) stop playing breath of the wild - TOTK is a massively expanded upon version of BOTW, and what I've seen is most people playing TOTK with the same gameplay style as BOTW and then complain how its just like BOTW. 2) play literally any other Zelda game first - you'll get a hang of the typical set up this series has and loops it throws you into (you may still complain that they're all too similar, but if so, maybe you actually just don't like Zelda?) and 3) just play the game. games are a lot harder to get into and to have fun with when you're constantly trying to compare the game to something else.

The only incentives are shrines, chests, and a couple of other things. The UNDERGROUND, which was barely advertised, is more fleshed out than the sky islands.

There is just nothing else like this out there, not even its prequel, Breath of the Wild, which ends up feeling like a beta for this game.

    Hands down, best game i’ve ever played. There’s so much new stuff to explore, and it practically doubles the size of the map accounting for the new places to explore.

    Many have their criticisms with this game on the basis that it reuses assets and feels like botw DLC. I completely disagree. Firstly, a game should be rated by how fun your experience with it was. It really shouldn't matter that some aspects of the previous game stay.

I completely disagree. Firstly, a game should be rated by how fun your experience with it was. It really shouldn't matter that some aspects of the previous game stay. In fact, since botw was such a great game, it might be for the best that we get the same major elements in a vastly newer light. And this game is indeed REALLY fun. Not one moment do you feel like you have to go searching for something new to do, like what sometimes happens in the botw late game. Just following the main story opens up infinite branches of adventures, and each branch leads to new adventures just as exciting. The map, while technically the same, is changed to such a degree that exploring it feels brand new again. That's not to mention the entire depth map (as detailed and as large as Hyrule), which is plenty to satisfy that need to discover a completely new world. If I had to say something negative of this game, it would be that the skies could be expanded further, especially considering how heavily it was featured in the marketing. However, if the only core complaint of this game is that there isn't enough of it, I think that only goes to show how amazing it is.… Expand

    Absolute masterpiece. People complaining about it being a DLC probably haven't played it.
    It's a sequel so obviously it takes place in the same Hyrule however they added the depths which is massive and the sky which isn't very big but a new place none the less. The surface is loaded with content far more than BOTW. The mechanics are great I liked BOTWs but I'm glad they did something new    Absolute masterpiece.

When I heard that they were working on a sequel I was quite surprised and curious how they would work on a sequel to a game that didn't seem to be possible to improve. After the trailer with the gameplays, I was left with a divided feeling, because I thought it was too incredible, but with a feeling of concern, because the proposal seemed to be something impossible to happen on such a small console. Today that I played Zelda TotK I have the conclusion that they really delivered everything they promised and much more! They broke the Zelda BotW barrier of freedom that I didn't even think could improve, and in Zelda TotK they improved EVERYTHING! I don't want to give SPOILERS so I'm just going to say that the phrase "Sky Is The Limit" today makes even more sense in Zelda TotK… Expand

    When going into this game, I had previously played breath of the wild, which I considered my favorite 3D Zelda game and this was coming from years of experience with twilight princess, majora’s mask and even the legendary Ocarina of Time so going into breath of the wild I had to treat it as something different as a grand journey and ultimately I had an unforgettable experience.

Tears of the Kingdom is taking what made breath of the wild phenomenal and evolving it to an even higher state of being taking what made the creativity and the wonderment of simply exploring this vast world the new abilities, the sky islands, as well as the expansive underground system made so many people realize that is always something to see, do and all at your own pace as tears of the kingdom isn’t about a destination, but rather the journey itself to it, and that journey is how you do a sequel. It is how AAA development should be done going forward in regards to open world games, each of the brand, new abilities, breathing life into the world like you’ve never seen before and ultimately how your journey ends is up to you as this is a masterpiece of a title that will inspire many developers to come, Now when it comes to the story telling, easily up there with the best the legend of Zelda has to offer, with each and every character involved to paint this wonderful canvas of a world to be as emotional, impactful and most importantly engaging from start to finish… Expand

    It is a masterpiece, it's a game that you have to explore slowly, because the best part of the game is exploring it and finding powerful combinations of arms and everything. The only thing i don't like is riding the horse, but it doesn't ruin anyone the experience because of the teleports. For me, is the GOTY for sure.

    10 is definitely a small grade for this game. It improved so much in the already spetacular breath of the wild changed enough of the game for it to be exiting to discover what is new while keeping the essence of breath of the wild. This is definitely the best game I have ever played without a shadow of a doubt.

Not only does it let you do whatever you want, whenever you want, and however you want, but it also expands on that with the new abilities.

    While it is true that the game runs only at 30 fps and sometimes drops to 18-19 fps, it's actually not THAT bad considering the fact that Breath of the Wild also ran at 30 fps (of course, it would've been nice to see it run at 60, but unfortunately, that is not possible on the Nintendo Switch).

    Finally, a performance tip: Consider buying the game from the Nintendo eShop as the integrated storage offers superior read/write speeds compared to physical cartridges. If you don't have enough space on your Switch, consider getting a UHS-I SD card.    … Expand

    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.
