    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is by far ine of the best games i have played. Even though the surface map is the same from botw, there is still so kuch more new stuff and so much to discover. Between the depths, the surface, and the sky, you never run out if things to do. The game also provides a very immersive experience and it makes you want to just walk around, explore, and learn more about the enviornment. In botw, i was more focused on how to get around quickly bc it seemed there wasnt much to do, except the occasional shrine and maybe a npc here and there. In totk, they really stepped it up and provided more side quest and the chance to change the enviornment around you. The story is also another thing that they did an immaculate job with, in botw the story was mostly just memories, but in totk there are still memories that provide an extra bit of content but, there are also main story quests that reveal more that happened in the past, between the individual storylines with each sage and the constant storyline about zelda and her adventures in the past, it all just blew me away, the story was so powerful at times that it had me on the edge of my seat wondering what else happened.

    I feel like i cant talk about totk without mentioning the new abilities that link possesses. Ultra hand provides the player with so much freedom and it creates a whole new level of puzzles. The ability gives the player so much freedom to go anywhere or do anything they want. Fuse is among one of the best abilities ive seen in any game, allowing the player to fuse anything to their weapons, shields, and arrows provides them with so much freedom to upgrade their weapons, i have never seen anything wuite like fuse, its a very creative solution to the problem presented in botw, having base weapons with no upgrades available, allowing the player to fuse almost anything to theor sword gives them the freedom to make some weird combinations and gives them the ability to make the weapon the want/need for certain situations. Ascend is the most useful feature i have used, it cuts out a significant amount of climbing and it presents a new types of puzzles, ive heard alot of people refer to it as the new cryinis but, i have to disagree and give that title to recall, recall is probably ny least favorite out of all of the abilities but, i still love it. Overall this game provides an amazing experience for the player, this game is very unique but, in a good way. This game gives you the chance to have a ton of freedom and creativity. You could play tgrough this game a million times and I guarantee that each play through would be different. Bith the story and the gameplay are among some of the best in the entire selda series, this game was worth $60 and i would gladly pay for it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow I've never been this disappointed with a Zelda game even though I played every game of this franchise... This is no masterpiece this is a cheap lazy cashgrab.. Of course it's not a trash game but this at maximum deserves a 7/10 because it fails at so many places...
    ...missing music and dungeons (I needed 15min for each of them except the fire dungeon)...
    ...the new "dungeons" are so easy and with hardly any riddles it's embarassing...
    ...boring, repetetive and empty underground and also at times sky and lands...
    ...tedious farming for ingrediants and weapons...
    ...annoying cooking, breaking weapons, breaking master sword...
    ...no surprises, no awe moments, no breathtaking scenes...
    ...most boring lazy cringe story with least possible effort and creativity...
    ...complete 1/1 copy of gameparts like plateau area, plot revelation, end boss battle, ...
    ...Amibo icons in the MENU and everywhere...!!!!!
    ...bad ui choices interupting battles...
    ...no battle is worth the amount of resources lost in contrast to the loot you get...
    ...lies to the players faking drama when telling zelda's transformation is permanent...
    ...Link looks like a dumbass not telling anyone he knows what happend to Zelda since like 80h+ of playtime ago...
    ...makes no sense lore wise and in regards to BotW (missing divine beasts, missing sheikah, ...)
    ...patching master sword and duplication glitch shows Nintendo doesnt want you to have fun...
    ...objectively this cant even be 96.... 80% graphics, 60% music, 50% plot, 80% gameplay, freshness 60%... if this were a 96 there'd hardly be anything to criticise yet there is tons of stuff...
    ...no motivation to beat Ganondorf... does he even do anything remotely bad?! people live happily...
    ...ending could have been great but missed opportuniy with much too easy Zelda catching (also you fall in the water so without you she would have fallen in the water anyway...)
    As a sky island dlc this would have been ok, a complete game with empty underground and sky islands wasn't needed... maybe liked by fanboys and kids building ***** for tiktok videos (yay game of the year!!)

    I was concerned this game would just be more BOTW, but it’s fresh and fun! Then opening cut scenes are exciting. Some say the first few hours are slow, but I needed that because I haven’t played BOTW in five years, so I had to relearn the controls again.

    Nintendo has fallen far from grace. This game actually looks like a Wii game from 2007, and the faded ugly color scheme is an eyesore. Building mechanics are laughable, everything bad from BotW has returned but worse.

    Please bring back the old Zelda games, items, dungeons, fun bosses and eccentric characters are what have made Zelda what it *was* for 35 years.

    When the first trailer for Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) dropped, I wasn't too keen on buying the game because of Breath of the Wild (BotW).

Despite all the praise BotW received, I struggled to finish the game. I only made the effort to finish BotW because at some point TotK convinced me it might be a fun game. I finished BotW months before the release of TotK, despite having purchased it at launch.

    The difference between the two is night and day. TotK is NOT glorified DLC. Those who claim it is DLC are clearly lying about having played the game. It is a highly fun and addictive game.

    Pros:

    The game is seamless. You can find the highest sky mountain and glide into the deepest chasm without any loading screens. That is impressive when you consider it's all on the Switch.

    The game is visually stunning. While it's doesn't have the graphics of something like FF16, it's watercolor art style feels just right. I play this game on an 80" 4k tv and I don't mind the look of it.

    The way the story is delivered has some issues, but the story is touching. Zelda is not just damsel in distress like in previous games. She plays a major role in helping you defeat the Demon King.

    Ultrahand is the bread and butter of this game. It has limits but there's a lot you can do with it. It all depends on how creative you are. Some of the fusions look wacky, but they are fun to play with.

    Cons:

    It does have some frame rate drops. This game really does push the Switch to its limits, but for what this game does, it is truly impressive how much it gets away with. The drops aren't too frequent to ruin the experience. The only moment I remember seeing a frame rate dropping was when I jumped off a sky platform chasing a fire-dragon that was going into a chasm. I glid alongside the dragon until it reached the depths then landed on it. It was just a moment the game stuttered.

    There are some narrative issues. I don't think this is a spoiler, but the narrative revolves around you finding Zelda. If you've grown up with the series, you know that's a staple of the franchise.

    I encountered Impa early on, and she sent me on a quest to find all the tears. I have an obsession with unlocking the world map in these open world game before starting the story. It usually results in me reaching max level before I even start the campaign.

    Finding all the tears reveals what happened to Zelda, yet Link still runs around pretending he doesn't know. It's funny but it's still a glazing narrative issue.

    This is minor. In my exploration I also stumbled across the Master Sword without receiving the quest from the Deku tree since I couldn't find the entrance to the Lost Woods. The entrance alluded me until my brother said, "Why do you climb everything." Then my it clicked in my BotW brain.

    I just feel certain reveals could have been held off until certain criteria were met. I know it would complicate the game for some players, but it could have held the narrative a little better.

    All the champions have the same cutscenes. These moments could have been used to expand the narrative.

    This game is almost flawless, but since I can't give it a 9.5, it takes the whole 10.

    Musics bland, boss design is poor and this is basically breath of the wild dlc. Inexcusable for the 6 years it took. Slow traveling and ultimately just boring. Bummed I spent 70$ for a game that looks older than Mario Galaxy.

    Forget about all those Fortnite cravers who actually think BOTW and TOTK copied Fortnite even though BOTW came first. Breath of the Wild is definitely an 8, and Tears of the Kingdom improved so much from BOTW which is why I’m giving it a 9. The whole sky, the land, and the underground are huge and it’s truly amazing how the switch that runs like a toaster can actually run this game.

    It’s story is a return to form after The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, you go to four regions and help the multiple races solve their problems, whether you are soaring into a massive cyclone with Tulin or jumping into the crater of a dormant volcano and in the process discovering a land with a lot of lava pouring down around you.

Contras: companheiros (Sages) com habilidades difíceis de acessar em batalha, framedrop, loot por vezes repetitivo e desgin do templo do fogo cansativo (e por vezes problemático) caso feito da maneira "correta", além de, na minha opinião, muitas shirines sem nenhum desafio dentro delas (apesar de algum desafio fora delas).

    Prós: é um jogo muito superior, em todos os aspectos, que Breath of the Wild. Infelizmente muitos haters estão zerando a nota de maneira pouco objetiva. O jogo é no mínimo 2 vezes maior que o jogo anterior (já com os DLCs), por um aumento marginal no preço. O que esse jogo oferece é algo que poucos jogos na sua vida irá oferecer. É um jogo que merece 10 pois a soma dos seus acertos ultrapassa em muito a de seus erros, quando comparado com os outros jogos. É um jogo divertido, emocionante, cativante, que prenderá por horas e permitirá você fazer a maioria das coisas da maneira que você quer, da forma que quer, mesmo quando parece que você está "roubando". O jogo será tão difícil quanto você quiser, ou tão fácil quanto mais devagar você for.

    BotW version 1.1 It gets 1 point less due to it being the same game released again, and another point off for killing the Zelda series. Zelda is no longer its own entity: it is a generic open world gathery-crafty with a Legend of Zelda skin slapped on.

    To say that I'm disappointed would be a gross understatement.

    To clarify, The Legend of Zelda is my favourite series in gaming and has never failed to impress, move and floor me with every one of the games.

    This is the very first time I've felt let down. And it hurts. I so desperately want to agree with all of the rave reviews, but I just can't.

    To me, Tears of the Kingdom is effectively a repurposed Breath of the Wild.

    - There are no fundamental differences with the way this game looks plays or feels. The combat mechanics are untouched and play exactly as they did in BotW (flurry rush and bullet time galore). The fusion mechanic makes the weapons look cooler and adds more longevity to even the weakest of base weapons... but I struggle to care beyond aesthetics when the combat encounters are the exact same mechanically against opponents that are also largely the exact same ones from BotW.

    - The new mechanics are fun to muck around with, particularly "Ascend", however the whole "Ultrahand" vehicle building gimmick never really stuck for me. I only ever engaged with it as a matter of convenience in the overworld, and while the shrine puzzles were mostly well designed, it all felt a bit samey after a while. I understand that this is preference, but when this is the foundation of new mechanics that the game is built around in the stead of actual puzzles akin to the classic titles that made them as fun as they are... I don't see it as a worthy successor.

    - The dungeons themselves are an improvement over the Divine Beasts - however still follow that same formula of do the thing five times then fight the boss. Also, here are the five places you need to go to marked on your map from the get go. It's all so watered down. Half the fun of the old dungeons was navigating, now that's all done for you! At least we've got actual bosses now good god, the Ganon Blights were dismal in BotW.

    - The story is bad. It's a bad story. Not necessarily because of the content, but certainly because of the structure and how it's conveyed to the player. There is absolutely no agency whatsoever as soon as the intro to the game is over. They just do the memory thing again, except this time they aren't even Link's memories and he therefore has no role in the story whatsoever. It's a story that has already happened that the main character isn't involved in that barely affects the game's actual proceedings??? How are we supposed to care? It's so clear that NIntendo didn't want to sacrifice the freedom and wanted to have it both ways, which has resulted in one of the most poorly delivered stories I've ever seen with no weight whatsoever. This is helped in no part thanks to Link's complete lack of characterisation. He is as stiff as he ever was in BotW but at least in the game it was somewhat justifiable as he was a soldier with amnesia. They even had an in game explanation for it. You'd think after years of peace with Zelda he'd have dropped the act just a little. It makes it so embarrassing when scenes are supposed to have weight and he's just standing there looking like he's fresh out of a lobotomy procedure. Agonising to watch. I know he's always been somewhat of a blank slate but come on!

    - Ganondorf, as a result, is a total wasted opportunity. He is hardly in the game at all. Could they not have sacrificed just a smidge of the freedom to provide a sense of stakes, weight and agency to this game?! We already got boundless freedom in BotW, reign it in a bit!

    - The sky and depths definitely exist. They both harbour some great main story stuff, but the remainder of both is just lacklustre. Sky has a load of islands to discover but they all amount to the same thing of just super simple shrine puzzles and then a Rauru's Blessing. The dephs are even worse. A great big giant pit of the same biome strecthed across the enitre map with a whole ton of copy paste enemies and armour from the amiibos. On that note, there is barely any new armour, which is hugely dissapoiting.

    - I don't know some of the new bosses are cool, but there aren't nearly enough. The caves on the surface are cool for a while but most look and play the same. There are barely any new enemy types, hardly matters though because the mechanics are the exact same and aren't conducive to engaging combat. The Map is the same, they've revamped it with different enemy base layouts and way more of them but who cares when it's just the same assets from BotW but more abundant?

    I'm being harsh I know. This isn't a bad game, just one that's disappointed me greatly especially considering the development time. I have had enough of this formula, this franchise needs at least some amount of linearity to work!

    Perfect game with almost no flaws. Really creative similar to the original (breath of the wild) but it's still very different in many ways it is a perfect puzzle game and an open world game where you could do basically anything but with ultra hand it can be annoying when it has the auto attach thing

    The exploration and adventure aspect of the game is its biggest strength. The new abilities, especially the building function via Ultra Hand, gives you one of the best sandbox experiences ever. There are almost no limits to what you can do and the physics in the game are something I have never seen before.

    It also tackles some of the issues BotW had: The world is way more dense, the new temples are much more fun than the Divine Beasts – even though they still dont reach the highest hights of older Zelda game dungeons. Weapon durability is still in the game, however due to the fuse ability it feels way less tedious. Its actually fun to create new weapon combinations. The story overall is stronger than in BotW, with some great story telling, however its still very surface level – but it still has some emotional peaks.

    One of the weakest aspects that hasnt changed at all from BotW is the combat itself. It still feels clunky, very little options and no new tricks here. Overall, an amazing game, an amazing entry in the Zelda series and one of the must pure fun games I played in the last years.

    After 150 hours, it's time to write a review. This game made me smile from the first day I played it to the day when I defeated Ganondorf, which was yesterday. At first, I thought it was nothing much different from BotW aside from the new abilities... but man I was I wrong.

    But first, the cons. The story was a bit weak at first but gets better. I wish they changed how the armors looked even a little bit because most of them are exactly what they looked like in BotW. I was also hoping for more variations with the korok challenges. It is the same Hyrule from BotW... but tbf, the sky islands, depths, caves and wells added a lot more places to explore and discover. And with the overworld monsters, I was expecting more of a challenge.

    The more hours I spent, the more different gameplay opportunities open up. Fiddling with zonai devices and fuse is funny as it is rewarding. Ascend is a god-sent ability that is very satisfying to use. The puzzles, places, bosses, and even the HUD is curated for a unique gaming experience which is what I personally think Zelda games do best. Not to mention there are several ways to solve a singular problem. I am a trial and error type of guy so it resonated with me very well.

    I mentioned that the story is a bit weak in the beginning but it got better and better especially in the final sequences of the main quest. I recommend getting the tears in order as it will provide you a more coherent story-telling experience!

    I love this game to the point that after 150 hours I wish there was more content even though I've only completed about 2/3 of the sidequests and about 90% of the shrines. I'll certainly keep playing and wait for the DLC (no official announcement yet but I hope there is a DLC). If that DLC didn't come after I 100% the game quests and shrines, I am considering another playthrough.

    A well thought out video game sequel that improves upon its predecessor but shouldn’t be charged for $70. That said, TOTK goes back to its roots with the traditional style of other Zelda games we know we and love, that includes actual dungeons, a good variety of enemy/boss fights and a broader story.

    Graphics are what they are due to hardware limitations but I met not one single bug and it globally runs smooth.
    The story I thought at first was less intense than BOTW proves itself to be a least on the same heights at last. The world is coherent, musics are neat and well designed/ timed.
    The only "cons" may be the main story bosses which are way too easy and not much of a challenge compared to BOTW's ones.
    This one of the rare game which left me with somewhat of a feeling of emptiness after the ending and that is a sign of greatness for me.

New skies and depths have nothing fun to do might as well not be in the game at all. Same monsters, koroks, lame sidequests and shrine puzzles from BOTW copy pasted everywhere.

There are new things like the ability to create basically anything you can think of, and some nice mechanics like rewinding time on objects or going through any type of ceiling. There is a subterranean underworld which i honestly feel was ANNOYING and repetitive, the sky islands were nice tho. They sort of brought back the classic Dungeons, which is good. Overall a must play, just stop repeating like parrots that this is the best zelda ever. IT'S NOT, that spot still belongs to Ocarina of Time, that to this day millions of people still play and stream it.

    I have spent about two hundred hours on this game and while I think it is decent, it is one of the weakest in the series.

    There is a lot to do, but most of it is just the same thing over and over again. This game is all about quantity over quality. Most quests and tasks just feel like busy work; it would probably take me another two hundred hours to try and 100% this game. I would rather have half the amount of stuff to do and instead have significant improvements to the quality of life functions and gameplay mechanics, along with a better story.

    There has been almost no improvements to the gameplay and quality of life from BotW. The game has better frame rate and only experienced slowdown minimally. Of course, most areas are pretty devoid of anything and the new large area feels empty and soulless. I hated that after spending what must have been 60+ hours completely exploring the new area I was given a lame participation trophy instead of something useful or interesting.

    Sure, they added some new land and areas to explore but it gets very repetitive quickly. They add some new clothing but you get so tired of having to change back and forth that you really start to wonder why there is no way to save a couple clothing sets and quick change between them. And while it is nice finding a unique weapon, knowing it will break is always depressing - and I sure wish the Master Sword was stronger in this game. I can barely kill two Moblins with it before it breaks. The only time it actually felt like the Master Sword is during the final battle where the sword can't break. After that fight, I never want to see items breaking in a Zelda game ever again.

    I did enjoy the boss battles but thought there was not enough variation as you end up fighting the same large bosses over and over. I enjoyed the new outfits but hated changing every five seconds. I also disliked how many items you needed to upgrade the clothing. I don’t want to spend hours farming the same thing over and over again.

    The game does have some cool battles, events, and scenery, and I really did enjoy the final boss fight, but that doesn't excuse the tediousness, repetition, and the lack of gameplay and quality of life Improvements. I also wish the story was more consistent with the first game.

    It is really frustrating how they seem to change parts of the lore around from BotW and almost never reference or have anyone try to connect what is happening in TotK to what happened in the Breath of the Wild. While there are interesting parts to the story, it is difficult to feel the same sense of emotion and connection as in the first game. The story does feel inferior and 90% of the interesting characters and stuff that is here, well they were already here from BotW.

    Tears of the Kingdom is not a bad game per-say, it’s ok and fine for a time sink if you have nothing better to do. I really think they should have had the sequel take place outside of Hyrule or have a Dark-World variation like in A Link to the Past to help break up the monotony. Don’t go in thinking you are getting some great improvement over Breath of the Wild. I actually think the game is a downgrade.

While I have many personal dislikes about the game the lack of a fully voiced game in 2023 puts tears of the kingdom at a disadvantage to other games launched recently.

If it was not for the whole construction mechanics this game would not be even consider to be innovative in any way.

I'm having so much fun exploring every layer of this game, I've already put 90 hours into this game and I'm probably not even halfway through the game. There is so much to explore. I enjoy it so much. You can explore the world of the game more freely than ever and it's just unbelievable how great the game is. Probably the most impressive thing about this game in my opinion is just that you are trying to solve a problem with the new mechanics of the Game or you just have an idea in your head trying to implement it and you just know that it will work because in this game everything just works.. everything works together so naturally. It's just amazing how smoth the game features blend in together. If you really liked breath of the wild as a game, how it worked and the exploring of the world, then I promise you will love tears of the kingdom just as much, if not more. And if you're worried that the map will feel too similar to breath of the wild, then I can tell you from my experienced, for me it was like playing a whole new game no matter what layer of the map I was on, whether it was Sky Island or on Hyrule itself.
    In conclusion, I can say that I enjoyed the game like no other game before. Everyone has to know for themselves what kind of game they enjoy the most but I can really recommend this game to anyone who really liked breath of the wild. In manny places you can already get the Game for about 40-50 $/€ wich in my opinion is a great Deal :)

Even thou the map is the same as the previous game, the map doesnt feel the same, since time has passed and changes happened from the times from calamity Gannon. Also i want to add that there are two more map layers to explore, the deeps (practically as big as the surface) and the sky.
    Story is emotional, is paced and more objective based, which makes the experience less chaotic than the first one. You cannot finish the game without finishing the main objectives (which didn't happened on BOTW, where you could go fight the final boss in the first hour of gameplay).

    This game is just Breath of the wild Nuts and bolts. Also minus 1star for increasing the price for the same map. Heck Far cry primal did the same but it looks different at the same time. In this

    For me Zelda TOTK is just a big dlc. I liked the game but I didn't feel the joy I had felt with botw. Zelda TOTK is a disappointment for me. And I am sad cause I love Zelda games I wish the best for the next game Nintendo (please Nintendo please)

    A direct sequel to Breath of the Wild (something Nintendo don’t do very often), Tears of the Kingdom opens with Link and Zelda exploring a series of caverns beneath Hyrule Castle. What they discover will change the world forever…

    It’s possible to nit-pick at certain aspects of this game if you really want to, but this is simply an incredible game. It not only retains the fantastic sense

    It’s possible to nit-pick at certain aspects of this game if you really want to, but this is simply an incredible game. It not only retains the fantastic sense of exploration, but all of the new powers and gadgets allow freedom and the opportunity to experiment that goes far beyond any other open World title. The biggest question now is how can Nintendo ever top this!?

    Quando comecei a jogar não havia sentido muita diferença se comparado ao título anterior, mas após um tempo senti que estava jogando algo totalmente novo e refeito, evoluído se assim se pode dizer e isso por si só já dá uma noção do quanto esse jogo é bom. Se breath of the wild era ótimo esse novo título é um passo adiante.

    Simple Action Adventure. Nice building Item mechanic.
    Very bad Graphic, only 30fps, missing rpg mechanics, empty Open World, bad audio syncro, bad character design, missing good Quests

    Improves upon BotW in a variety of ways and has a simply staggering amount of content, the majority of which is very high quality. The story is also a bit of an improvement, though nothing groundbreaking. The new vehicle building mechanics are a great highlight. I do think there could've been a bit less reused music. It's the best Zelda game, and of course well worth playing.

    In this game, if you can imagine something you most likely can do it, never played a game with this freedom, even more than the prequel. The new mechanics give some freshness to the gameplay. Absolutely a goty contender

    I have been a gamer for a long time, but I have to admit that I lost interest in playing games for many years. I felt like most games were repetitive, boring, or too easy. I was looking for something that would challenge me, surprise me, and immerse me in a rich and beautiful world. That's when I decided to try the new Zelda game on the Nintendo Switch.

    I was blown away by how amazing

I was looking for something that would challenge me, surprise me, and immerse me in a rich and beautiful world. That's when I decided to try the new Zelda game on the Nintendo Switch.

    I was blown away by how amazing this game is. It is not just a game, it is an experience. The graphics are stunning, the music is captivating, the gameplay is smooth and intuitive, and the story is engaging and emotional. The game gives you so much freedom to explore, discover, and create your own adventure. You can climb mountains, glide through the air, ride horses, cook meals, solve puzzles, fight enemies, and more. The game never gets boring or predictable, because there is always something new to see or do.

    The game also has a lot of depth and replay value. There are many secrets to uncover, side quests to complete, weapons to collect, shrines to activate, and bosses to defeat. The game adapts to your play style and skill level, so you can always find a challenge that suits you. You can also customize your character's appearance, equipment, and abilities to fit your preferences.

    The new Zelda game is the best game I have ever played. It rekindled my love for single player RPGs and made me feel like a kid again. It is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise and awards it has received. If you have a Nintendo Switch, you owe it to yourself to play this game. Trust me, you will not regret it.

    What a huge disappointment. Obviously, like everybody after playing BOTW, which was really nice (with its own flaws, some big some small), I was pretty excited about the sequel. Instead we got BOTW again with some extra stuff, that was not interesting or fun at all.

    First of all the extra maps, skies and depths, are a chore (besides the very first island when you begin the game). The depths look ALL the same and there is almost nothing to do there. Very boring. If you have found 2-3 Yiga clan places in the depths, its like you have seen all of them, cause they are the same. They even give you the same 2 rewards, the yiga scheme and one of these zonai things. Such a lazy job by the devs. The same counts for the mines btw. The same with the skies, almost nothing interesting to do besides moving the crystal to a shrine. Everything super repetitive and gets a chore pretty quick.

    If you have discovered 2-3 caves in the main map, it is as if you have seen already all the caves of the game cause they are the same. If you got 5-6 korok seeds, its like you have gotten/seen all of them, cause they are pretty much all the same. The wells? All the same. Very repetitive and extremely boring. The bosses are supereasy, all of them. Horse is not needed cause you can fly everywhere through the towers. The story is super lame and not interesting at all. NPCs are super repetitive, every NPC saying the same stuff all the time. Another thing: Zeldas character is not likable at all (Link.. I am waiting for you... grrrr super cringe and they should change that whiny voice actor as well asap). The main map? Exactly (!!) the same as BOTW with some extra stuff added on top of it in very few places so it doesnt appear at first glance exactly the same, even though it is. There isnt this nice wonder of exploration, you already know everything, its like playing BOTW again, which is a big no-no cause I spent already hours and hours exploring that place. Why should I do it again? I really wanted to stop playing a few times and uninstall the game but I was not giving my hopes up, hoping that something good will eventually happen ..to no avail.

    Weapons break again after 5-6 hits the most, so it is not worth doing any missions or whatever hands you a weapon. The new powers are.. well.. average. The ultrahand gets tedious pretty quick. Even if you have the patience to build a flying machine.. it breaks again after half a minute or so in the air lol I mean, the game is laughable. Then you have the sign-guy here and there, having to do again the same and the same.

    This game would only be worth playing (maybe..) if there has never been BOTW. But since BOTW exists, just play BOTW, which is obviously a much better game (in case you have never played any of these 2 games). The enemies? The same as BOTW, minus the guardians, plus a couple of new ones in the skies (these robots) and these gloom hands that grab you. I dont understand how Nintendo had the nerve to release such a piece of sh.. honestly. They should be ashamed of themselves and, like many said, sell it as a BOTW DLC for 20-30$ the most. Such a super lazy job. I couldnt wait to finish it to not have to touch it again. Ignore all these 10s you see, these are fanatic fanboys under the age of 18 that would give it a 10 regardless of its content, without even having ever played it. What a huge disappointment and rip-off by Nintendo. Six years for that, Nintendo? right..

    Nintendo has done it again. Once you learn the controls it's even better then you'd think. I have to say play for a few hours and your in deep yet have done little. They reinvented the flipper in such a great way. Enjoy all the different thing you'll create and explore. I've also found some slight souls elements while playing.

    Was disappointed when I realized the game starts you off in the sky area to completely mask the similarities with the first BOTW. The world is nearly entirely the same, with small changes to make it feel different. One area will now have snow. One area will have some sludge. One area will have caves. etc. etc.
    All the old mechanics are back. And all the terrible mechanics are back. They

    All the old mechanics are back. And all the terrible mechanics are back. They lied about there being dungeons like the old zelda games, it is very much like the divine beasts. They really just rehashed the last game. If I had never played BOTW before, I would have been ecstatic. But it feels like I'm playing the same game, with the same formula all over again.
    We give pokemon and call of duty a hard time. Imagine them releasing a pokemon game, and then 6 years later releasing the same pokemon game with some added caves and a new starter town . . . I don't understand how everyone is so blinded....

Los santuarios no son puzzles demasiado extensos pero te pueden complicar más de uno y sus templos son tremendamente divertidos. Finalmente, sus mecánicas son increíbles: con la ultramano puedes crear construcciones y mover cualquier tipo de cosas; con el retroceso puedes hacer retroceder la trayectoria de los objetos hasta su punto original, con la combinación puedes combinar armas con cosas o con más armas y con la infiltración puedes atravesar objetos arriba de ti.

    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.
