    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo é incrível, Vaz tudo que seu antecessor fez, e sinceramente a maioria das coisas melhor, indico esse jogo pra 2 tipos de jogadores, fãs da franquia, e quem não jogou Zelda BOTW, já que mesmo melhorando tudo, é visível que a estrutura é a mesma, mesmo sistema de 4 masmorras, ir lá e livrar tribo x de um problema causado pela volta de ganon, existe problemas de performance e as texturas ficam borradas em alguns momentos do jogo, uma reclamação pra fazer são os sábios, já que a mecânica deles é bem quebrada, você constantemente ativa-os sem querer, colocar o mesmo botão pra ativar todos, não foi uma escolha tão inteligente e deveria ser melhorado futuramente, porem oque há de bom no jogo ? É totalmente livre, deixa você explorar do jeito que quiser, apesar das masmorras terem repetido o anterior, foram melhoradas, tendo visuais completamente diferentes, chefões totalmente diferentes, porem a resolução dos problemas são extremamente simples, já as side Quest, são muito divertidas e te dão boas recompensas, não terminei o jogo ainda, tenho 250 horas, e fiz aproximadamente 50%, amei cada segundo, os problemas nesse jogo são visíveis, e devem sim ser coitados, porem existe diversos pontos positivos, como por exemplo, a falta de loading ao descer do céu, ou descer para as profundezas, tocando no assunto, os céus e as profundezas foram adicionados, e fazem a exploração ser muito mais interessante, tem adições na superfície, além de diversos novos inimigos, como o horroblim, gleock, grande bokoblim, entre outros, as mecânicas desse jogo, são incríveis, o fuse, a ultrahand e o acend, fazem com que sua imaginação flua, e te dá diversas maneiras de resolver problemas, falando em resolução de problemas, os santuários, apesar de serem parecidos com o anterior, me pareceu uma maneira de incentivar o jogador a ser criativo, já que há diversas maneiras de resolvê-los graças as novas habilidades, você pode pensar que fez errado, mas não existe certo ou errado nesse jogo, sua criatividade diz oque fazer, e você faz, simplesmente maravilhoso, a história ficou muito mais interessante, e o final é emocionante a ponto de fazer qualquer casca grossa chorar que nem um bebê, esse jogo, faz o seu antecessor parecer uma versão beta, ou só um gostinho do que viria pela frente, já que esse jogo, faz com que você seja mais livre do que nunca, porem, mesmo com diversas melhorias, não poderia dar 10, ao menos, não com os problemas que citei, os gráficos não são tão importantes pra mim, mas a queda de FPS pode quebrar a imersão em alguns momentos, além de ser bem perceptível ao usar o ultrahand ou entrar em algum lugar muito pesado, mas mesmo sendo um problema grave, devo dar os parabéns a Nintendo por conseguir rodar esse jogo em um console tão ultrapassado. Minha conclusão é que, jogue, se você gostou do anterior este vai te deixar abismado, o jeito que tudo aqui é expandido, e simplesmente maravilhoso, o final é lindo o começo é lindo tudo aqui é lindo, pra quem realmente gosta de explorar, este jogo é um prato cheio, personagens incríveis, história melhorada, chefões visualmente impecáveis, e o jeito que esse jogo faz com que a experiência seja única pra cada pessoa, é simplesmente um jogo que facilmente entra na lista de melhores jogos já feitos, pelo menos essa é minha opinião!… Expand

    Una gran juego de mundo abierto y con gran personalidad. Pero una pésima secuela que no aclara la historia de Breath of the Wild y añade un popurri de ideas incongruentes que no aportan nada al universo de Hyrule, por el motivo de que la trama es superficial y sin alma.

    LO MALO - Una historia fragmentada que carece de profundidad y desarrollo de personajes. - La dificultad es    Una gran juego de mundo abierto y con gran personalidad. Pero una pésima secuela que no aclara la historia de Breath of the Wild y añade un popurri de ideas incongruentes que no aportan nada al universo de Hyrule, por el motivo de que la trama es superficial y sin alma.

    LO MALO

    - Una historia fragmentada que carece de profundidad y desarrollo de personajes.

    - La dificultad es casi inexistente, siendo su único desafío los enfrentamientos con los Gleoks o los primeros momentos por el subsuelo.

    - El cielo que era su principal punto fuerte, es solo una anécdota por su escases de retos, desafíos y lugares interesantes para visitar.

    - Agujeros de guion que descolocan si vienes de Breath of the Wild, donde se reescriben y se olvidan eventos anteriores.

    - El rol de los sabios junto a su jugabilidad que no aportan nada a la trama y suelen bugearse o hay que perseguirlos por el mapa para poder activar su habilidad, convirtiéndolos en una molestia que es recomendable deshabilitar (Salvo Tureli).

    - Determinadas mecánicas como el farmeo de dragones por piezas y cada 10 minutos aprox, solo para obtener un objeto por aparición.

    - A ratos la pantalla se queda colgada o se ralentiza inesperadamente debido al exceso de partículas o efectos ambientales.

    - Misiones secundarias anecdóticas y carentes de desarrollo personajes. Salvo pequeñas excepciones que utilizan las mecánicas y al menos divierten..

    - El cringe que da la sobredosis de gemidos que suelen emitir los NPCs.

    - Combate final sencillo y el cierre de la trama bastante cliché con el "poder del amor" que arruina el momento del sacrificio, estropeando con ello el desarrollo de cierto personaje.

    A pesar de todo lo malo, el juego es bastante solido y entretenido como experimento de mundo abierto. La mecánica de subsuelo aporta bastante la experiencia, junto a la inclusión de trajes amiibos ,como contenido gratuito, en misiones secundarias. Así mismo, el personaje de Kabalit que opera como tutorial de mecánicas, dando un aire fresco tras cada encuentro y por ultimo el uso de habilidades de Link que son mas intuitivas e inmersivas en la experiencia, permitiendo acomodar el juego al gusto del jugador.    … Expand

    Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game for us who love to revel in worlds, to let the wind guide us and show us the world rather than tell us about it. It makes breath of the wild look basic and unfinished. Nintendo once again raise the bar for themselves and the industry as a whole. I love this game and you will too.

    I enjoyed the every aspect of this game. The only observation that I would like to mention and it is not a bad thing, is that the game has so many things to do and explore that overachievers might feel overwhelmed with so much content.
    However if you relax and take it slow, the game becomes extremely pleasant and ejoyable.

For the 1,000th time. It’d be great if maybe they repeated their tips two or three times tops, then quit after that point.

    The game is nearly a masterpiece to me.

    We’re a sandbox generation, so building contraptions was fun to encounter in a Zelda game, but soon enough there are plenty of portals and towers unlocked for fast traveling between the three layers of the world that the feature isn’t used as much in mid to late game. (Fine with me, tbh, it got too time consuming to build all the time).

    So those Koroks that need to be reunited with their friends? I think maybe 3 or 4 got reunited the first couple days. After that, they’ve been completely ignored. Poor neglected Koroks. LOL. Just too many of them.

    The sky islands and the underground are incredible experiences at first, but they are big and basically empty. I play about 8 hours a week now, and find myself visiting them for quick sessions of grinding as nothing entices me to stick around long. I replayed BOTW many times over the years, but with how ToTK is such a huge game, I don’t see how I’ll care to restart it from the beginning. Maybe that’s why I’m taking my time with all the side quests, knowing this might be my only time through LOL.

    The storyline is more complex, layered, and interactive than BOTW. Rather than the townspeople hunkering in the towns afraid and needing saving from pockets of monsters, they are a bigger part of the story, trying to “help” solve what is going on. There are all sorts of researchers about, and monster fighting teams, etc. You even get to fight alongside the Gerudo army. The personalization of NPC’s really helped TotK excel over BOTW.

    I might be rare that I like the breakable weapons lol. Upgradeable outfits compensate for having weaker weapons (maybe even over-compensate). Just plan to take the time to make a couple outfits really strong before you progress too far, then you can take on toughter monsters and use their parts to fuse better weapons.

    The only thing I find strange is that I have no desire actually beat the game. I’ve watched videos and it seems like a frustrating, arduous task anyways. In BOTW, Zelda (and others) constantly urge Link to rush and help, but the story in TotK is more about the unraveling of mysteries, and is less urgent feeling.

    Although I liked building Link’s house, it also looks like an IKEA project. LOL    … Expand

El juego es tan amplio como profundo y algo que justifica cómodamente la espera de seis años. Es el juego de Zelda más narrativo1. El juego sigue siendo un caótico patio de recreo físico, pero es uno que es de alguna manera más amigable y en otros aspectos incluso más castigador que su predecesor.

    IGN lo describe como una secuela notable que de alguna manera eleva aún más el listón hacia las nubes2. Este sandbox es más grande, más rico y de alguna manera aún más ambicioso, con nuevos sistemas creativos como la construcción de vehículos, la elaboración ridícula de armas y un mapa renovado de Hyrule con una cantidad vertiginosa de profundidad que profundiza aún más la exploración intoxicante que hizo que el original fuera tan cautivador. Breath of the Wild se sintió lejos de estar inacabado pero, inconcebiblemente, Tears of the Kingdom ha logrado hacerlo sentir como un primer borrador

    En Metacritic, el juego tiene una puntuación Metascore de 96, lo que indica aclamación universal basada en 140 críticas. TheGamer lo llama una obra maestra que no solo iguala lo que vino antes, sino que hace todo lo posible para superarlo1.

For the performance is that this game holds on to 30fps all the time if there is something big like a lot of enemies than it will freeze but, thank goodness for just 1-2 seconds. The difficulty is also my complaint because it gets so hard even in the depths but, it's a good thing to show how, when you beat the enemy or boss you finally found happiness and stop raging like me. These two complaint s can be brushed aside for how good this game is. So that's why I give this game a 10/10.… Expand

I'll be honest, at first I didn't understand it in the slightest, I was disoriented in the mechanics of destroying weapons, in the "simplified but still intense" combat, but above all by the higher difficulty of the game compared to my standards (my standards: assassin creed)

    Only after the first essay did I realize the masterpiece in front of me, exploring Hyrule is quite fun, even if I prefer to be guided by 7 different indicators, the secondary quests are there, the sanctuaries make me freak out, but if you put your ingenuity into it they also become satisfying to solve thanks to Link's new powers, and then the variety of armor and customization (things that I find fundamental in open worlds) are not bad    … Expand

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is by far the best game of all time. Its really fun, the story was great, the map had so much stuff in it, and it inproved all the things wrong about Breath of the Wild. My favorite part in the game was the depths which is basically a second hyrule and the caves on the surface had so much to discover. They really filled the map up with quests, dungeons, shrines, koroks, and enemy camps. They made breath of the wild, which was previously my favorite game of all time, look like a tech demo. I loved all of the new abilitys ecspecially ultrahand, I loved building tanks and mechs to fight and travel hyrule. They made really good dungeons that are much better than botw dungeons and the sage abilitys that you use in the dungeon are fun. Best game of all time 10/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TotK is a bit of a let down all things considered. As a complete package I find the game to be alright the pros and cons tend to even out for me. If you enjoyed BotW you'll likely enjoy TotK as its no secret the games are very similar.

    To get the biggest negative out of the way I feel that the combat is a real let down. I wasn't expecting a dramatic change from BotW but it feels like there was no adjustment to how quickly weapons break. The fusion mechanic is alright it just feels to me like an added step in getting weapons that can actually manage to hurt monsters. Both of these factors made me almost always avoid combat whenever possible. To finish off the subject of combat, by the end of the game having more HP felt like more of a problem than anything else. I'm unsure if this is how the game actually works so maybe I'm wrong but the more HP I had the stronger variants monsters were around Hyrule. I spent more than half the game at 5 hearts and it wasn't until I upgraded my HP that I started to encounter more powerful enemies. I always felt like I could die in 3-5 hits no matter how much HP I had.

    Another major problem I have is the story. Not so much as to what happens in the games story but that again all the good parts of the games story happen before the events the player gets to personally experience. While this happens a lot in the Zelda series I feel like almost every game has moments outside of the final battle where a pivotal event takes place. There really is no such event in this game. Outside of the final battle I would argue there is no story development that takes place in this game. You again find memories of the past and help the four races solve an issue with their home which awakens them as a sage to help you in the final battle. Those moments aren't bad and the problems the four races face in this game were interesting its just everything felt disjointed.

    The dungeons overall were better than BotW but in the end they were a bit of a letdown. The airship was the first I went to and I had a very good time with it I found it to be a great experience from getting to the dungeon until defeating the boss. The other three dungeons I cant say the same for once I found out they were all the same thing I tended to not enjoy them. That being said the pyramid was interesting to navigate in my opinion and the worst one by far is the Zora dungeon. You can basically skip doing anything in that dungeon if you try.

    So what would I say is positive about this game? The exploration obviously. Overall the world is fun to explore. It is fun to find shrines, while the shrines aren't amazing they're still fun to do. Overall the best shrines I would say are the ones that have an overworld puzzle to get into the shrine rather than a puzzle inside the shrine. Doing side quests, exploring the world, riding horses or building cards no matter how you choose to go through the overworld its fun. The sky islands are lacking in my opinion but still interesting. The underground unfortunately is a letdown. I did find all the light roots but there's really not much of anything else to do down there aside from the Master Koga questline and the fifth dungeon. There are no shrines in the depths and that's a little sad. You can go the whole game without ever going into the depths aside from the story dungeons. That realistically leaves 90% of the depths empty at least the sky is physically 90% empty and every bit of land you can go to in the sky has something to do. Regardless of that though exploration makes this game fun. Traveling through Hyrule finding shrines, quests, caves, and even the occasional Korok (I cant emphasize occasional enough as looking for more than that is insane.)

    To quickly address the new abilities replacing the old slate mechanics. I thought they were okay overall. Ultrahand is most used and I'm not gonna talk about performance its the switch if your not happy with the performance I don't know what to say we've known the switch is underpowered since 2017. Building things to solve puzzles or vehicles is neat. It wasn't for me though and I actively tried to solve puzzles without it or travel without it. Ascend is the best ability hands down. I already mentioned fusion and I never used blueprints really.

    Overall I'd say I enjoyed the game but it still deserves a six to me. Exploration alone can't save this game. I'm glad people enjoy it and say it's their favorite game but its just not mine. I hope that future Zelda games build from here as it feels like they didn't build from BotW. Adding more world and then not utilizing it. Adding another story you only get to watch rather than experience. It's a letdown. All that being said I enjoyed it and many others will hopefully more than I do.    … Expand

    This game is a complete chore, grinding for material to create stuff to grind for more materials just to repeat the same thing over and over. Want to upgrade your inventory then grind, want to get new weapons then grind just bear in mind that you will break your useless weapons to get equally useless ones, of course you also have the Ubisoft towers, a staple in chore-like open world titles such as this and the Assassin's Creed franchise.

    There are no dungeons, exploration is not rewarding, not only are you exploring the same map but you are doing it for pointless loot too. God I miss key items and dungeons, remember how cool it was to open that chest not knowing what you'll find inside. Remember how cool it was to go into the overworld now with the key item to open new avenues for exploring. Back then the overworld was a big puzzle itself, in this title the puzzle are contained in another grinding mechanic known as shrines.

    There is no story, no epic, no lore, no side quests, no memorable characters. It's just a bunch of mechanics and gimmicks, Zelda is dead and we killed it. This game whatever you want to call, but it is not a Zelda title.

    I gave away this Zelda and don't plan to buy another BoTW like title, I'm not interested in Open World Zelda, if you like grinding and gimmicky mechanics this game is for you. If you like Zelda then it isn't.

    Zelda was the only game that got me into buying a Nintendo console, but I guess not anymore. You lost a fan Nintendo, it's sad to see what Zelda has become. I hope 2D titles survive and don't get destroyed too.    … Expand

Not to mention, the unique gameplay mechanics, such as fuse and ultrahand to help each player have an experience that is specifically unique to them. With so much to do in this game, the seventy-dollar price tag is definitely worth it and is a must for the Nintendo Switch. That being said, I am rating The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom a nine out of ten.… Expand

They did their best in changing and twisting the world so that it is not boring to revisit them. Well, I was burnt out at some point but found out it's just general "open world" exhaustion (which actually causes me to avoid such type of open world games as much as possible). But Zelda gets a pass due to its unique world building, mechanics, combat and with the new Fuse mechanic and Zonaite devices, mowing down enemies were never this fun. It allows for creative decisions, and each combat is a unique one that plays out differently.

    I have to say some dungeons are much much better than the best BotW has to offer, but its lows are lower than BotW also. I don't remember not liking any of the Divine Beast dungeons but I genuinely disliked and Zora and Rito dungeons. Gerudo and Goron dungeons however were well crafted and I had a lot of fun exploring them. I also liked the initial "warm up" quests that leads you to these dungeons, much more so than the Botw.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Final Update: After 105 hours, finished the game. The depths are an afterthought, you just need to do enough there to gain batteries and complete a couple of quests and the rest is pointless. The story is also an afterthought: let's be clear, there is no path to the story which can be summed up as: intro cinematics, getting your companions, expanding your stash and unlocking regions, defeating bad guy, end cinematics *** credits *** more end cinematics. The number of main quests is actually extremely small, and the number of side quests is actually mostly fillers, barely more. The game is made to make you grind and watch the load screen to get a couple of items to be strong enough to defeat the bad guy at the end. Many times in the quest there are either issues with translations, or plain logic. As mentioned it's not a true open world as there is no story progression through your exploration of the map. FPS drop throughout the game is truly unbearable and the hindrance of your companions is also unbelievable annoying. It is said that repetition is the key to comedy, well this game is the plain demonstration: what a joke.

    Update: played the game for 60+ hours, it’s empty, grindy, and repetitive to give a semblance of depth to this game. It’s a very empty and soul-less game. The stuttering and fps drop is really annoying, same as the cut scenes (if you’ve seen the cutscene for a shrine once, twice or three times, you just end up mashing the controller’s buttons). Thank god there are duplication bugs to help getting food and coins rapidly, because this game is worst than a chore. It’s bad enough that I start to root for the antagonist… it’s really not an action or rpg game, barely a Minecraft clone with unnecessarily idiotic puzzles).

    I don't get the hype: the game is ugly, stutters, lags (controler or joycon response is... slow), and the world is empty with inconsistent use of voice acting.

    Game mechanics are incredibly poor (doing a simple 360 takes 4 seconds, looking around to 'solve' the puzzles is equally enragingly long), no possibility to tune any game parameter or remap anything, it's worse than a PC game designed in the early 2000 and it's not refreshing to see pixelated shadows.

    The use of some kind of cell shading to mask the low capacity of the console as well as using supersaturated textures with a mix low polygon models with high quality particles makes the game appear even weirder.

    I've tried playing this game but every 5 minutes I quit since it's really just not that good and it's not even trying to be good nor modern in any sense of the term: it's like playing a game of watching the paint dry using one hand and wondering why this kind of stupid controller setup is.

    I get it, people like to play games that basically play themselves, do not require any kind of character development, skills, or involvements so they just enjoy watching pretty colors playing in front of their eyes but I think there is a limit to that kind of mindlessness. Even games like the sims 1 have more depth!

    Another theory for those justifying the time it takes to pass the "tutorial" section is the sunk cost fallacy: a self justification not to face the fact they wasted money and time. As such they need to self justify, and justify to the eyes of others, having wasted their time.

    Interesting fact, just checked and most of the new 10/10 scores are from users with zero other rating or review. In this case, I'd look at the 4000+ positive reviews as being highly suspicious. Maybe 10% of genuine positive and the rest being bots or paid fake accounts.    … Expand

    This is a perfect sequel, in my opinion. It lives up to its predecessor in every way (except maybe the story) and introduces many new ideas, like the Zonai devices and the different levels of the map. It feels more like a traditional Zelda game than BotW but still keeps the same sense of wonder. One of the best games of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an avid and long-time fan of The Legend of Zelda series, I have eagerly played nearly every title, which is why I find it disheartening to say that "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" (TOTK) marks a significant downturn for the franchise. While its predecessor, "Breath of the Wild," introduced a departure from the established formula, TOTK continues down this path with even more gimmicks, diminished depth, and an underwhelming story.
    Nintendo's decision to take one of their most cherished series and turn it into a cash-grabbing scheme aimed at the lowest common denominator is truly appalling. TOTK entices players with superfluous physics mechanics, an abundance of lifeless non-playable characters, and a world that feels artificial and devoid of substance. In stark contrast, the 1998 release of "Ocarina of Time" on a modest 64 MB cartridge managed to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience despite the technological limitations of its time.
    For those of us fortunate enough to have experienced "Ocarina of Time" during its prime, we were introduced to a vibrant Hyrule brimming with life. It was an adventure that transcended mere gameplay; it felt like an immersive journey that captivated our senses and emotions. Regrettably, TOTK falls short in every aspect. It lacks depth, fails to introduce memorable characters, offers an underwhelming narrative, and possesses a soundtrack that fails to evoke any genuine praise.
    However, credit must be given where it is due. TOTK does replicate the visual design of "Breath of the Wild," a somewhat noteworthy achievement. Additionally, the introduction of new building mechanics adds a refreshing element to the gameplay, although these alone are insufficient to redeem the overall decline that the series has experienced. While the Lighting Temple holds some nostalgic value, it, along with the other temples, merely serves as replacements for the Divine Beasts from "Breath of the Wild."
    One of the significant grievances I have with TOTK is its complete departure from the fantasy realm into the realm of science fiction. The Legend of Zelda has always been a fantasy series of the highest caliber, with a few entries incorporating subtle sci-fi elements. However, TOTK abandons the series' fantasy roots entirely, transforming it into just another generic sci-fi game. This departure raises questions—why not equip Link with a spaceship and a blaster, completely disregarding the enchantment of Hyrule? After all, the vast galaxy beckons, and why confine ourselves to the barren sky islands and depths when we can expand the breadth of the game at the expense of its depth, venturing into outer space?
    My point is simple: everything that endeared The Legend of Zelda to us old-school gamers, has been stripped away. A captivating story? Nowhere to be found. Memorable characters? Sadly lacking. A musical score that enraptures players with its beauty, breathing life into every scene and landscape, fostering an emotional connection with the game world? Forget about it! The list of disappointments goes on and on.
    In the hopes that this downward spiral ceases with TOTK, I implore all those enthralled by the game's allure to reconsider their perspective. It is our responsibility as gamers to maintain the integrity and quality of games, collectively recognizing the importance of preserving the very essence of what made The Legend of Zelda series so cherished. Let us not succumb to drinking the Kool-Aid but instead seek to rekindle the magic that once enchanted our hearts.    … Expand

Alongside that, The Sky Islands are very much sent into the background and for a really visually appealing and interesting idea, there isn't very much with it.

    Besides all of that, the game play and experience is exceptional. The presentation of everything feels sincere and is a very comfortable game to play. Much of the core game play elements from Breath of the Wild are still here, like Shrines, Breakable Weapons, and Non-Linear story elements.

Exploring these is very fun and challenging. But I still have one problem with this game. Near the end it drags on for waaaaay too long. You get thrown into a new location in the depths after you fought Demon King's allies in the castle. And instead of going after him, we're just going to build some funny robot. It makes no sense. I did not enjoy this last part in the slightest, the puzzles were nothing but frustrating. But the final boss however is sooo good. If it wasn't for these 2 problems, this would have probably been my favourite game, but unfortunately giving it a higher score just didn't feel right for me.

    Runes suck here too, where is my stasis ability? the Recall is no replacement for it. The only ones i really liked was Ascend because it helps with getting to higher areas, as well as Fuse which lets me fuse objects like boulders/rocks/collapsed ruins to my weapons/shields for increased damage and defense. Ultrahand is basically just magnetism like in BotW, except that you can attach things together with it, which I always avoid doing whenever possible.
    The only times where I can somewhat enjoy this game is when I'm playing it like I would play BotW.
    This game should just have been a DLC, which would have been less terrible and wouldn't have somehow taken 6 whole years to make, and wouldn't have cost 70 bucks etiher.
    Do yourself a favor and just get BotW instead.    … Expand

    It is the same game as BOTW. Same places. The sky islands are not nearly as compelling as they seem at the beginning. The sounds effects, animations, music, and themes of each area are literally copy and pasted. The only really fun part of the game other than exploration was the leadup to the Wind Temple. The shrines get boring as hell. I was skipping them after I got the stamina wheel up a bit. It is the same game.

    MORE CONS: The vehicles in the depths sometimes don't even work (tire traction, too many hills for vehicles to roll, wing vehicles dont last long, etc... it felt like a CHORE.

    END: 9/10
    The ending sequences and boss fights are imaginative and emotional. Maybe one of the best endings of a zelda game. However, it does not compensate for the drab and dull midgame, which is essentially a DLC of BOTW.

    Conclusion: If you don't play this game, you won't really miss out on a ton, unless you like building and seeing which devices do what. I found the devices and builds served little utility throughout the game. You can survive with the same combat as BOTW... which, was already really basic. None of the bosses were that tough if you spent a decent amount of time in BOTW, which we all have.

    The dungeons were still clunky and no better than BOTW. Let's all move on. BOTW had a good run.

    The game is still fun, it just feels stale.    … Expand

    anche in questo capitolo il senso di libertà è pressoché infinito e anzi amplificato da tutte le nuove potenzialità.
    cancellare completamente i vecchi poteri per metterne di nuovi, è stata una scelta tanto azzardata quanto riuscita.se prima i poteri risultavano quasi limitati alla precisa situazione, ora ci daranno ancora più libertà per interagire con il mondo di gioco e permetterci di fare quello che vogliamo.
    se prima potevamo prendere gli oggetti di metallo, ora possiamo prendere ogni singolo oggetto, e collegarlo con altri oggetti per creare veicoli e tante altre cose.
    se prima ci si rompeva un'arma ora la possiamo collegare con un'altra per farle durare di più e creare tante variabili diverse potendole collegare anche con tutti i vari consumabili, se prima i bastoni o le alabarde erano un po inutili, ora potendole trasformare in quello che vogliamo risultano le armi più interessanti di tutte.
    parlando di scoperta dei nuovi poteri, quello che mi ha fatto più volte dire: ah ma io posso fare questo. è il potere di poter attraversare i soffitti, tanto difficile da implementare nel game design tanto bello riuscire a risolvere enigmi passando sotto essi.
    ma quello che è davvero più incredibile di tutti è quello che manda indietro nel tempo gli oggetti.
    si switch ha in memoria la posizione di tutti gli oggetti che si spostano nel gioco, e manda indietro solo quello che selezioniamo.
    a tutti questi nuovi poteri si aggiunge anche una piacevole cosa introdotta con il dlc di botw, dove il gioco terrà traccia di tutte le strade che percorreremo durante il gioco, aiutando molto a capire quali parti delle mappa dobbiamo ancora visitare.
    se è vero che totk continua a non raggiungere la qualità dei vecchi dungeon, quanto visto in questo capitolo però eclissa completamente quelli di botw.
    caratterizzandoli meglio come stile, mettendo delle meccaniche uniche che sbloccheremo grazie alle abilità del compagno che ci aiuterà nel dungeon di turno. e infine mettendo dei boss unici, che non puntano sulla difficoltà della sfida ma che continuano a farci scoprire come usare il nuovo potere imparato.
    i sacrari invece in parte serviranno a farci imparare i nuovi poteri, essendo a tutti gli effetti dei tutorial, e alcuni potranno essere completati ancor prima di entrarci, dato che la vera sfida sarà riuscire ad entrare.
    in generale comunque li ho trovati più divertenti da trovare e completare, permettendoci appunto di sperimentare al massimo tutti i nuovi poteri, è vero che risultano un po più semplici, ma preferendo quello che posso fare con i nuovi poteri era inevitabile preferire questi nuovi sacrari.
    anche le missioni secondarie le ho trovate meno inutili da fare rispetto a quelle che avevo fatto in botw, e anche qui il merito è tutto dato alla sperimentazione dei poteri nuovi.
    dato che si baseranno in parte sulla costruzione di mezzi, o magari sulla costruzione di strutture per sostenere dei cartelli messi sempre di più in luoghi improbabili, e da delle forme sempre meno semplici da sostenere.
    e anche per quanto riguarda la trama del passato mi trovo a preferire quanto visto in questo capitolo, sia perchè è meno complessa da trovare. sia perchè non racconta una storia tanto lontana, o perlomeno la storia è ambientata lontana, ma è molto più interessante per quello che sta accadendo nel presente. senza entrare nel dettaglio è complesso da spiegare.
    senza contare le diverse parti sotterranee, creando a tutti gli effetti una seconda hyrule sotterranea tutta da scoprire.
    ma non è finita qui, non si sono limitati a creare tre zone diverse, ognuna di queste tre zone è tematizzata da un tipo di gameplay/esplorazione differente, obbligandoci ad agire in maniera differente in base a dove ci troviamo.
    se la parte a terra è quella più simile a botw, una volta andati in cielo dovremo imparare a spostarci tra un'isola e l'altra, e risolvere le tipologie di enigmi che ci verranno proposti, che sono differenti da quelli visti a terra.
    mentre una volta andati sotto terra, ci sposteremo in un ambiente completamente buio, pieno di miasma dove non potremo camminarci sopra, e se le prime zone non saranno difficilissime essendo pianeggianti, in altre zone avremo ben altri problemi per capire come arrivare in determinati punti.
    questa alternanza di situazioni, oltre a rendere il titolo vastissimo e pieno di cose da fare, porterà ad avere un titolo basato su tre dimensioni differenti.
    totk prende botw e lo migliora pressoché ogni singolo aspetto, elevandolo a tal punto da diventare uno dei migliori giochi mai fatti.

Ascend and rewind are straightforward, Ascend can allow you to teleport up on higher surfaces, which makes exploring a lot easier and less frustrating at some points. Rewind is kind of like stasis in Breath of the Wild, but instead of freezing time, it rewinds time. Tears of the Kingdom allows for limitless creativity and problem-solving. Every NPC feels real which makes the world feel alive. Every village in the game has a new thing to it (Rito Village has a snowstorm, Lurelin Village has been taken over by pirates.) The four dungeons in the game have been upgraded and are alot better than Breath of the Wild's divine beasts. The game is also a lot harder than Breath of the Wild, though once you play for a while and upgrade weapons and armor, it gets easier. The soundtrack is also amazing, it really hits the spot.

It even surpasses BOTW in so many ways, but the gameplay feels as fluid, if not better! The shrines are nicer, the towers are sometimes harder to active than those of BOTW and everything else, just feels different, yet, familiar! The world in this game, both on the ground, underground and above the clouds looks and feels AMAZING! I’m over 100 hours in and have not even finished 30% of the game!! There’s way more to do in this game than in BOTW, at the 100 hours mark I was done with most of what the world had to give, just some little side quests left and korok seeds, for the rest, I was pretty done. That comes to show that TOTK is way bigger in map size, gameplay and everything else!

    However, I wouldn't recommend buying a Nintendo Switch exclusively for Tears of the Kingdom, or any single videogame, really.

    Only now you have some pretty new and impressive things to keep things fresh. Ascend is probably one of my favorite mechanics ever in a game, ultrahand is godsend, endlessly attaching things to your items never gets old and rewinding is pretty useful and creative. I'm not a "puzzle" guy and I thought these new things weren't going to stick the landing with me, but I was definitely wrong. It all works very well.

    There are also two new maps. The sky islands and the depths. I absolutely loved everything in the sky, especially how well they were implemented to the story. It's astonishing. The depths were pretty fun and ominous at first, but became annoying and repetitive after a while.

    TOTK is definitely remarkable, with plenty of things to catch you off guard, from the story to gameplay. The ending nearly brought me to tears, with some of the best "cinematic" moments and battles I've experienced in this franchise. It is, without a doubt, an excellent sequel to BOTW. A good one, with few flaws to point at.

    Yet, one major feeling slowly crawled inside me on my 180h playthrough.

    The sense of novelty kinda vanishes. Don't get me wrong, a game isn't supposed to throw new and shocking things at you at all times! But that overwhelming feeling I had when I played BOTW faded after 80h in. I felt like I was pretty much done with it after experiencing nearly everything new that the game had to offer. But there were MANY other things to do and explore. Felt like I was playing BOTW again and, although I LOVE that game, its replay factor might be its weakest aspect.

    That's really the only thing I have to complain about it. Or the biggest thing, in a way. A few problems from the previous entry are still here (like how they handle the story and the infinite shrine hunting) and the new "friend abilities" don't hold a candle to the likes of Revali's Gale or Mipha's Grace. But this might just be me nitpicking at this point, to be honest.

    Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game and there's A LOT to talk about it. But, for now, I'll just repeat what I said before: if you're like me, and you loved BOTW, pick this one up NOW. If you didn't, it might not change your mind.    … Expand

    The narrative surprised me because this is not usually Nintendo's forte. I was captivated from beginning to end and I know I'm not the only 1/10,000,000 that was shedding a few tears at the ending.

    A perfect conclusion of the BotW formula. Another masterpiece in the new way of the series

    Minha única crítica negativa a esse jogo é a ausência de pescaria, de resto tudo é impecável e melhora ainda mais oque já parecia excelente. Voltem com a pescaria!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 《王国之泪》作为一部续作来说，它显然是出色的，它具有比前作更为有趣的战斗系统，添加了可供玩家发挥创造力的建造系统，将地面的内容拓展到了天空与地底，并利用“通天术”“鸟望塔”等全新设计来使玩家在天地之间穿梭自如，当你同步推进天空、地面与地底的进度时，你绝对会收获更加充满激情的游戏体验，全新的怪物和奖励设计令大多数战斗不再得不偿失，即使是《塞尔达》系列一贯并不出色的剧情也在《王国之泪》中通过讲述一个穿越一万年时空的故事的“龙之泪”来进行了补充。相比于《旷野之息》中玩家不可避免的孤独感，任天堂几乎用尽全力在《王国之泪》中设计了各种各样与伙伴并肩作战的桥段，使得每个玩家在海拉鲁大陆上的探险不再寂寞。通过佐那乌装置与滑翔伞的移动，整个游戏的移动进度会比前作更为流畅，即便如此《王国之泪》的游戏流程长度依然能达到前作的两倍甚至三倍，毕竟相比于《旷野之息》的地表，《王国之泪》多了地底与天空整整两个维度。《王国之泪》同时还具备了更加令人震撼的音乐与大型战斗设计，在风之神殿中与急冻盖拉的战斗可以说是整个游戏最为震撼的一幕，从顶着暴风雪逐步向天空突进到突破云层时一览无余，从急冻盖拉苏醒时bgm响起到与其战斗时大开大合的移动和攻击，无一不展现了任天堂对于演出节奏的精确把握。“究极手”“扭转乾坤”等极为强大的功能也能在为玩家提供发挥想象力的空间的同时又很少出现致命性的bug。
    然而这并不意味着《王国之泪》在游戏史上的地位就能够超过《旷野之息》，首先《王国之泪》整个游戏本身的框架就是建立在前作之上的，从角色设计到游戏逻辑无一不利用了前作已经完善的基础，它更大的创新是在于同样地形却天差地别的体验，实际上在神庙与四神殿之类的解密设计上该作是完全不如前作的，有别于《旷野之息》天衣无缝的四神兽，《王国之泪》中四神殿的设计更像是割裂感十分明显的复制粘贴。《王国之泪》修改的四贤者设计也比前作要令人难堪，因为在乘坐载具移动或是拾取物品时，贤者们总是靠近并占用你的A键导致出现失误，而在战斗中需要贤者的帮助时又不得不去寻找甚至追赶贤者们。从世界大小来看似乎是多了天空与地底两个维度，而实际体验上则是空岛并没有太多内容，地下也几乎都是相似的宝藏与战斗，在两者之中的移动也几乎全部要依靠“究极手”制造的佐那乌装置来飞行，并没有给予玩家充分的选择来进行移动。
    游戏在Nintendo Switch上的表现似乎也只是差强人意，720p的画质与不那么稳定的30fps帧率对于部分注重画质的人是灾难性的，尽管对我来说可以接受但是部分情况下的掉帧确实是影响了游戏体验。
    不过总的来说该游戏绝对是一个十分好玩的游戏，《王国之泪》在难度上可以说是老少皆宜，游戏性上适合喜欢解密、战斗、创造等各种内容的玩家，100个小时仅仅只是游戏流程的一半左右，极为丰富的内容绝对能让每一个用心体验的玩家感受到其中的乐趣。
    感谢任天堂为我们带来继《旷野之息》之后的又一部难以释手的佳作。    … Expand

    To be honest, this game is great, but as for it's zelda, so I have to be more critical at the worst update: version1.2 from Nintendo.

    I cannot imagine that Nintendo would do such a disgusting thing that disallow players to find funny mechanisms/bugs to make game more happy, this update ruins the efforts from so many players who have much craze on this game and the blueprint gameplay, and I just can not figure out why they do such a decision: even though you think such mechanisms are bugs, they will definetely not affect the players who play this game in normal way while they enhance the experience of builders and extends the ability of blueprint. But they still ban players from explore this game world. So for what? Why they decide to make such a bad update? This game is of score 9, but the update version 1.2 just got -3 points from me.
    The last company which do such things in my memory is Billizard, and it just publish series of worst games after that, and I do not want to see Nintendo goes on the same way, so if the employee of Nintendo can see it, just rethink your update, do not be over-confident, and bring the right of exploring in the fancy world back to the players.    … Expand

    Another must play for all Switch owners. Easily a 300+ hour game. Endless exploration across three layers of the open world.

    Estou preocupado em nunca conseguir terminar esse jogo. Literalmente parece que não tem fim e assim espero que não tenha. E que venha a DLC, mas sem pressa, pois ainda tenho muito oque fazer. Perfeito!

    I did not expect to love this game as much as I do. There's just so much goodness to explore and do. The world doesn't feel stitched together as many open world games do. Many open world games struggle to fill the world with content without everything feeling bland. Tears of the Kingdom does not run into that problem. The Ultrahand adds so many options that a challenge can be overcome withI did not expect to love this game as much as I do. There's just so much goodness to explore and do. The world doesn't feel stitched together as many open world games do. Many open world games struggle to fill the world with content without everything feeling bland. Tears of the Kingdom does not run into that problem. The Ultrahand adds so many options that a challenge can be overcome with 1000s of solutions. It's the perfect sandbox that allows for player expression.

    The only reason I don't give this a 10/10 is because of the hardware limitations (framerate, resolution) and some pacing issues with dialog and cutscenes. E.g., when completing a shrine, let us just skip the entire thing vs. skip cutscene, wait for item prompt, accept, skip cutscene.    … Expand

    Acho que poucos jogos fazem a gente querer realmente fazer tudo oque há para ser feito e esse é um dos melhores representantes disso. Aguardando ansiosamente por um DLC ou dois.

    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.
