    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.

    Insanely good game, probably the best game of all times. It's literally overwhelming all content and how brilliantly designed is every aspect of this game.

    Un juego perfecto, me encanto el tema de combinación y que con cada articulo que fusiones con tus armas le da mas dinamismo y estrategias a tus ataque, que hablar del mundo abierto hay zonas en la superficie sobre el cielo y subterraneo el mejor juego de este año de lejos.

    Builds and expands on an already terrific Breath of the Wild. A truly fantastic game and experience.

    Literally the perfect game. 10x better than BOTW which was already one of the all time greats.

The new ability's are awesome and very creative, I like them even more then the ones in Botw. The music once again while sparse is quite nice, and when there is more specific moment pieces it is even better. I cant wait to finish this game, but so far it might very well be my game of the year.… Expand

    Nintendo delivers again in yet another magnificent Legend of Zelda adventure. I feel it's far superior to its predecessor in multiple ways; For instance, shrines and temple are more fun to complete thanks to the new powers Link's gotten at the beginnin of the game.
    Unlike Breath of the Wild at release in 2017, the game runs perfectly smooth in dock mode, stable with no noticeable drops in fps.

    Honestly glad this game came out when it did. I wasn’t having any type of fun with gaming, but then this game came along and changed this for me and for the better. I love Nintendo and I absolutely love Zelda and can’t wait to dive back into the game. I highly recommend this game from a place of heart.

    What A great game to have it has everything you're going to want to play. It keeps you busy from start to finish. I'm about 20 hours in and I'm still just amazed and how gorgeous and amazing the gameis. I love that the amiibo system used to be only 5 A-day from breath of the wild to now.

    Massively expanded on everything great about BOTW. The ultimate Zelda. Combat and exploration have been much improved, and the creativity of ultra hand makes everything feel exciting. Fuse makes the weapon system a masterpiece.

    Um jogo que faz você ir dormir pensando nele, te imerge a buscar resolver as coisas do teu jeito, buscar e fazer o que te der na telha, por enquanto sendo uma experiência melhor que o BOTW que eu achei superestimado, mas esse tem tudo o que eu achei que faltava no outro

    Meiner Meinung nach ein fast perfekter Nachfolger. Mein einziges Problem, dass mich als normalerweiße PS5 Spieler ein bisschen nervt ist eben die Performance der Switch.
    Aber sonst ein sehr gutes Spiel.

    I have zero complaints about this game and the world is familiar but it still feels like a whole new world. This game meets expectations with flying colors and it raises the bar. Nintendo hearf almost every complaint they got from Breath of the Wild and they fixed the problem in creative ways!

    Breath of the Wild was in my opinion the greatest game of all time, with an emphasis on "was"
    It was surpassed on May 12th this year.

    Anything when compared to Breath of the wild seems mediocre, it got so much right and so little wrong. When I played it I had one thought on my mind 'this is the greatest game of all time.' I was wrong, nintendo managed to top themselves yet again and created a true masterpiece. Tears of the kingdom is the greatest game I have ever played and as with all good things it starts off great.Anything when compared to Breath of the wild seems mediocre, it got so much right and so little wrong.

    The tutorial stage of the game has managed to keep the exploratory feel of the Great Plateu from breath of the wild and reinvented it whilst also managing to seamlessly integrate the storytelling elements and thus creating an intrigue that lasts throughout it all. I have nothing other to say than thst it is completely stunning and absolutely perfect.

    I understand why some people are complaining about the reuse of the ground level world map. This is very unusual in other games and never happened before in the Legend of Zelda series. However, almost every area of the map has been renovated to accommodate to the new play style and Link's new skills, let alone the addition of two completely new layers of the world.

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

    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.
