    Zelda 720p 20fps in 2023 is something you can't accept. Switch's technical issues limit the game's potential.
    Zelda is not an INDIE! Zelda is AAA and It should run at 1080p~1440p~4K 60fps. NOT 720p 20fps.

    This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $70 for a mobile game. It doesn't even have the AAA quality to justify the $70 price tag. Just when I thought Nintendo has done the greediest thing imaginable, something even greedier comes up. They are charging a $70 next-gen price for a game that isn't even on a next-gen console. Are you freaking kidding me?This game is a huge steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $70 for a mobile game. It doesn't even have the AAA quality to justify the $70 price tag. Just when I thought Nintendo has done the greediest thing imaginable, something even greedier comes up. They are charging a $70 next-gen price for a game that isn't even on a next-gen console. Are you freaking kidding me? This game can barely runs at 30fps 720p and dips to 20fps in combat. When I pay $70, I expect a performance and fidelity mode. The graphics are a joke. This whole cel shading stuff is just an excuse for developers to be cheap and lazy. The textures are pukeworthy. The physics are beyond horrible. The combat is boring and repetitive. The story is terrible. Cringeworthy running animations. It's the exact same game as the last, even the map is the freaking same. It's just new missions, cutscenes and attaching things. It's literally $70 DLC. When it comes to voice acting, Nintendo are extremely cheap. $70 only to get "oh ah uh hmm" voice acting during in-game dialogue. That's pathetic. Lack of enemy variety and laughable boss fights.

    There is nothing to do in the open world. It's just a boring empty landscape of plants, trees, rocks, water and mountains. It's the same map as BOTW. All the lazy developers did was edit the map a bit with the creator tools and called it a day. And no, the map under the world and the sky islands don't count as new maps. GTA 5 Online has gotten new places under the map through updates and players can create sky maps with the Content Creator, so that makes it a different map, right? Wrong, it's still the same map. Not to mention the sky islands in TOTK are copied and pasted. It's embarrassing that a smaller studio like Coffee Stain North can give me a new map for Goat Sim 3 at $30, while TOTK is the same map with worse FPS and graphics for $70. Speaking of which, you can now build cars like you can in a Goat Sim 3 quest, but the cars are much slower. Maybe if they went fast enough, I might've had fun doing stunts off the empty boring mountains. Obviously the developers made it slow so it wouldn't expose a framerate nightmare. When I axed a tree, it shattered like glass and magically went under the ground.

    The fact that this low-budget rehased garbage got a 96 proves there are double standards and hypocrisy among these critics. Let's all be honest with ourselves. Forget the PS5/XSX and $70 price tag, If this were just a PS4/X1 game for $60 without the Legend of Zelda title, the narrative would've been so different. 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. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.    … Expand

    This is just a clone of BOTW with some building mechanics. I already didn’t care for BOTW, and this is way worse.

They just like big and empty open words with boring objectives. This and BOTW are all about quantity over quality. IMO Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess were not only the best Zelda games, but my favorite games overall. I hate this new direction that Nintendo is going with Zelda. If I could give this game a negative score I would, to offset all these crazy, unnecessary perfect scores. This game is FAR from perfect, or even good. This is now the most overrated video game of all time. Nintendo, please make Zelda great again if this is not their last entry. I actually give this a negative 10 out of 10. You want a good Zelda game go and play Twilight Princess, THAT is a masterpiece, not this garbage.… Expand

Not that the "graphics" are the only issue, the art direction might be the worst I've seen in a Nintento title to date, second only to BotW. Second is the absolutely terrible story that is a slap in the face of any self-respecting LoZ fan. I won't spoil what happens but I was gobsmacked at the contempt the writers are showing for their fans (who will probably happily take it and beg for more, as is the nature of Nintento fans). Third is the gameplay: hilarious to see the same people who (rightly) criticize Ubisoft and EA's boring "open world" make-work trash celebrate BoTW and TotK, games that are even more bland and tedious and in fact go out of their way to be as dull and repetitive as possible. And finally: if you aren't going to let me play as Zelda then don't put her in the title of your game, to do otherwise is deceptive advertising which, by the way, is illegal.… Expand

    The dungeons are nicely themed but are just gated behind the NPC characters, their abilities (wich are mostly downgraded abilities from BotW) and otherwise they are just bigger shrines and a boss.

    The Bosses are good designed, use the limited abilities nice and you can encounter the bosses in the underground after defeating them once wich is a nice feature.

    The Underground
    The best area in the game, dark, hard and rewarding

    the story is completely BS and butchers both the past Zelda Lore and the Lore presented in the game itself

    overall the game feels like nintendo trys to get into and open world RPG with souls aspects and lost the The Legend of Zelda soul completely. just make BotW and TotK a spin of series instead of butcher the Main series and stop selling games for 70 bucks for a console that can't run it properly because you messed up    … Expand

    There is no loot in this game just like the previous game. Why would I care about this new cool weapon if it’s going to break very soon. If I have a full weapon inventory I’m not going to bother opening the chest and see if the weapon inside it is stronger than what I currently have since it does not really matter. What matters is how many weapons you have not how strong it is since it will break during combat. Why not have fewer weapons but make sure that they actually matters and feel distinct from each other. That way I’ll actually care about what I find. This does though match the rest of the game very well in that sense that it prioritizes quantity over quality. Skip this one    … Expand

    Nintendo didn't fix any of the critiques from BotW. There are still weapons that break before the enemy does. The shrines are back, while the so called "dungeons" aren't any different from the beasts in BotW. The controls got even worse.

    One of the most disappointing sequels I've played, the overall performance is very poor compared to even other Switch games
    And the characters like their dialogues were very disappointing.

    The amount of recycled content is too blatant and doesn't justify being a complete game.
    I feel like I've paid for DLC as the Hyrule map is 90% the same and there aren't many new activities to accomplish.

    And for a fan of the classic formula like me, this is a very big disappointment.
    The exploration of Hyrule is very empty as everything is full of kolog seeds and inconsequential missions, and the temples as well as the final boss aren't very epic or appealing.    … Expand

    2000 graphics, awful gameplay, reused map from the last game. Overpriced dlc to an already terrible game, not unusal from nintendo to produce terrible games, reuse 20 years assets and sell the game for a huge markup.

    Too similar to the first, a $10 increase for a few extra activities, Sony or XBOX were charged very badly if a sequel happens to be very similar (not to mention any chance of it being GOTY), the subjective game for Nintendo fans are welcome, objectively the maximum level has already been reached at BOTW, here it is only fanaticism and nonsense praise.

They still do not translate the game for many languages and that is a shame. Classic Nintendo. Really don't think it deserves all the hype I was having with it mostly because it took 6 years for a new game and the way it came was the same game as before with some minor tweaks. If they get the GOTY award, this has to be because there is no competition from other games that deserves it better (that is if you don't consider Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dead Space or any other to be good just because they are remakes LOL)… 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. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.    … Expand

    The game reuses nearly everything from breath of the wild. Map is mostly unchanged, you still progress by collecting korok seeds, completing shrines, and going to towers that unlock map fragments/act as waypoints. They totally overstated the presence of dungeons, dungeons are essentially glorified divine beasts. Overall it feels like a DLC, and for $70, it's absolutely not worth the price tag.

    The game I was so eagerly anticipating turned out to be a major letdown due to its poor optimization. Despite my excitement and high hopes, the game's lowly 720p resolution and stuttering 20 frames per second left me feeling extremely angry and frustrated.

    I was constantly plagued by lag spikes, choppy animations, and sluggish controls, which made even basic gameplay actions feel like a chore. Every time I tried to immerse myself in the game's world, I was pulled back to reality by the constant interruptions and slowdowns.

    It was especially infuriating to know that these issues could have been easily avoided with better optimization. It was clear that the developers had neglected this aspect of the game in favor of flashy graphics and other superficial features. They had failed to prioritize the smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience that gamers like me crave.

    I couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal and disappointment as I played through the game. All my excitement and anticipation had been for nothing, and I was left with a subpar gaming experience that barely resembled what I had been promised.

    As I navigated through the poorly optimized world, I couldn't help but wonder how much better the game could have been if the developers had put in more effort. It was clear that they had squandered a great opportunity to create something truly special, instead settling for a half-baked product that was barely functional.

    All in all, the game's poor optimization left me feeling incredibly angry and let down. It's a shame that such a promising title was ruined by such a simple and avoidable flaw.

    *3rd time posting, keep getting deleted

    Nintendo was once the most powerful console in the market back in the N64 days when Ocarina of Time blew everything out the water and was like nothing seen before.
    The playstation 1 was actually the cheap alternative.

    Since then the benefit of the doubt has been given to Nintendo for the past 20 years for failing to produce current gen quality gaming while keeping current gen quality price tags

    But now that they've moved into movie making and people are able to watch Super Mario in 4k UHD breaking box office records and making a massive profit for the company it begs the question why they don't bother giving their consoles and games the same treatment.

    The excuse used to be well they took risks with GameCube and don't have the means and we need to stay loyal
    Then with the Wii it was well they're trying something different, trying to bring it back to its roots.

    And this is Nintendo's strategy for exploiting hungry fans and giving them lacklustre releases out of beloved IPs, by appearing to be the constant underdog that needs defending when actually they're the bullies of the industry raking in a lot of profit not going towards game making.
    (See Reggie threatening leakers with quotes from 'Taken' movie, reviewers being blacklisted etc)

    So here we are three decades later with a game that is basically a Dlc of the previous, with next to no story, an empty hollow campaign that reads more like a Zelda mod for Minecraft than anything

    At 900p, 30fps, on a 10 year out of date engine with GameCube graphics that if you chose to can be completed in an hour sold for $70.

    Imagine if Ocarina of Time was released with Atari graphics, SNES gameplay and instead of needing to grow up, or see hyrule descend into chaos or complete the 8 temples to get to Ganon at any point you could just walk to hyrule castle and have the credits roll, do some building to pass the time in between.

    Would it have won awards and been regarded as a masterpiece?

    No

    And if this game at 30fps 900p GameCube graphics, 10 year old engine, can be completed in an hour with only really 5 real temples to do was on the Xbox say modded to be a Halo game Would critics call it Game of the year?

    And maybe if the mess that is Redfall had been modded to look like Mario and sold on Nintendo it would be hailed as a masterpiece


    Nintendo has gotten off easy for far too long, been half assed and lazy relying solely on fans loyalty and critics' not wanting to upset them for far too long.

    The franchise died with Twilight Princess
    They just decided after skyward sword to wait it out, and rebrand it to a new generation of zoomers who don't care for story, don't care about the campaign, don't care about a chain of temples and things you need to do to be able to get to the end, who don't care about three decades of video game history and its legacy
    They just want to run around making giant wooden statues with p***** and live stream their excitement pretending to be diehard fans

    While the OG ones are shoved under a bus.

    This is the Dragonball Super of video games.

    The prime period has long gone, and the new fans despise it/can't play it

    And what we have left is barely recognisable, nonsensical, pointless, overly complicated, strung out mess, with barely any plot that's the IP in name only.

    And the funniest thing? When Nintendo decides to make a movie of it, it's going to be in 4k UHD and bring back all the original references like the Mario one. To then return home to another cheap Dlc mobile port game.    … Expand

    Overglorified DLC
    Not a Zelda game
    Overhyped trash
    If I wanted crafting systems I would have played Minecraft.

    Tenía las expectativas muy altas y sinceramente no las cumplió ni un poco(el juego no es malo, al contrario me gustó mucho pero yo creo que esto no son 6 años de desarrollo) también es una lastima que para un juego tan bueno nintendo no se haya tomado la molestia de sacar una nueva consola que lo corra 60fps 1080p(nada del otro mundo y para muchos considerado un estándar mínimo)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A mediocre expansion of botw.
    I will start by saying botw was also not a 10/10 game by any means.I olayed it for 150 hours and after the first 25 it felt the whole game was on a loop.
    Every negative i will list here is present in both games.Makes sense since they used the exact same assets making TOKT.So here we go :
    1.Behind everything theres a korok.900 in one 1000 in the other.Its so discouraging knowing the bad reward before you do anything.
    2.Shrines interior is the same and you got 120 of them in botw and 150 in totk.Again repetitiveness on its finest.
    3.Map besides shrines and koroks basically only has bokolin camps with sometimes no reward at all.
    4.Cooking is tedious and boring.Btw you still cant have quick items.If you need to heal during battle you have to pause enter menu chose food and chose to eat it….
    5.Towns dont offer much content and there are 1-2 worthy side quests.
    6.Weapons brake and you lose interest fast.Fuze is a pain.You need 7 moves to fuze two owned weapons:open menu , pick weapon , throw it , pick ability fuze , open weapon menu chose weapon , chose fuze…
    7.Divine beasts like the rest of the game is on repeat.They all are the same , same as the new “dungeons“ 8.Battle is poor and uninteresting.

    Critics and fans never talked about these of course and they still dont.How can such a terribly repetitive game be a 10 ? Well its a zelda thats how.

    Totk is an even worse position since its the exact same game with some add ons.It basically a meme game now where you minecraft structures and post videos of goofing around. Theres no game out there with such map but empty of meaningful things to do.The map is empty of any essence.
    I would rate this a 7 for the sake of some new players that experience it for the first time.BUT giver the many suspicious 10s it gets to counterbalance them its a 0.    … Expand

    Nintendo's lazyness is big on this one. A forced agressive FSR 1.0 profile that drops the resolution from 900P to 780P 20 FPS in busy scenes, giving you a blurry mess and shifting resolution to crazy visuals that are unbelievably jarring.

    The game suffers from every Breath of the wild 's flaws, that were criticized LONG after the game was out to avoid being in trouble with nintendo,    Nintendo's lazyness is big on this one.

    The game suffers from every Breath of the wild 's flaws, that were criticized LONG after the game was out to avoid being in trouble with nintendo, this game suffers the same barrage of fanboyism on day one, but little by little everyone that has played enough of this game see what everyone with a sound mind see :

    The same boring map as Botw, you rediscover absolutely nothing, it is even boring to have to redo all the same map, they couldn't think of any new mechanics too forcing you to accomplish 120 shrines on the main map and 32 in the sky. Not to even talk of the reused korok system . what is even more outrageous is the divine beast tier easy 5 sages dungeons. Not a single one was difficult, at all, the ambiance of BOTW was darker and felt like there was also much more at stake then this disney ified, cheap "sequel", the issue here is to sell this as a new game, it is not, it reuses 90% of all the known assets, animations, ennemies, there is maybe only 4 new ennemies in the whole game. one of them crawl on the roof of caves, one of them is a tree, another one is a pool of bloody hands trying to catch you, and the last one is a 3 headed dragon, THAT's IT !!! the rest of the game has every same reused ennemies from botw.

    Even memories storytelling system is as janky and badly managed as BOTW with 11 tears, so, 11 memories to find and you can find them, again, one of the biggest flaws of BOTW repeated the exact same way, in an anachronous, desynched manner, forcing you to rewatch all of them in a chronological order because we didn't feel like guiding the game with quests that make sense story telling wise at nintendo, profiting from the nature of the open world to get lazy AGAIN.

    There is also a lot of cut content from the trailers we saw, and they will obviously be made into dlc's, when we saw link in a special environment on the back of a huge animal, that is nowhere to be find in the current game, if you release a trailer for the game and cut content that was advertised as is before launch, i call it false advertisement. The trailer also gave the promise of a darker, more interesting game then botw dungeon wise, and nintendo saying the dungeons will not be divine beast like but have more of a regional feel to them and not do the same thing again. Guess what... These dungeons are as bad and as SHORT and easy as divine beast, even a toddler can finish one in under 20 minutes, and the bosses are way way way too easy too. leaving absolutely not much of a memorable moment , any taste in the mouth as they are done way too fast and give you absolutely no challenge.    … Expand

    Definitely the creatives for this game are ahead of their time, and on such a limited power system!!! This game keeps me hooked as there is always just one more discovery around the corner to keep me playing one more hour. This is engaging gameplay as well as the new construction physics, and solve however you choose puzzles.

    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.
