    Simply one of the best games ever! The waiting time was worthy! Since BOTW, the way that developers developed a wide world with many possibilities, it will give you a lot of time to explore the world of Hyrule.

    Do NOT let the weirdos on here tell you this game is anything lower than an 8. Metacritic stop letting people review bomb games. This is why nobody respects this site. You let a bunch of toddlers who are mad that there game didn't review as high bomb the reviews. So do better.

    10/10 game masterpiece don't miss it

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The legend of zelda tears of the kingdom é um daqueles jogos onde vc joga e entende que jogos podem ser mais que jogos, esse sentimento está em quase todos os jogos da franquia ,mas qual a diferença dele para os outros jogos da franquia ,ou melhor o seu antecessor breath of the wild ? Tears é uma expansão de botw é realmente uma sequencia ,então se vc quer algo de diferente do botw então o jogo não é para vc ,o jogo continua tendo shrines , o mesmo metodo de contar historia e a mecanica de combate com algumas implementações novas ,porem um dos maiores diferenciais desse jogo pro seu antecessor é os poderes novos que vira o jogador novo e os jogadores antigos da serie de cabeça pra baixo, nunca se foi tão divertido e bem implementado suas mecanicas com um mundo como esse jogo é, esse jogo te desafiar a pensar de maneira criativa usando as ferramentas que ele te dá e de forma diferente de botw, onde agora o processo de montar seu veiculo ou bigiganga pra te divertir pra camba ao se sentir um genio.
    Mas é só isso ? então não, tears corrige todos os problemas de botw ,poucos inimigos ? não mais ,mundo vazio ? não mais.
    Mas o mapa é o mesmo ? sim , porem não parece nada ,o mapa foi modificado de um jeito que vc sabe que está em um lugar antigo de botw quando vê um ponto forte de referencia, mas se olhar tudo ao seu redor esta diferente e com coisas diferentes para fazer. Alem que ha novidades que acresentam o mapa tanto para cima ,quanto para baixo.
    A novidade em relação a itens ? sim , o jogo tá recheado de itens novos e que te dá colecionaveis novos e moedas de trocas novas para incresentar mais progressão para suas novas ferramentas.
    E a performance ? No switch ela tá muito boa ,o fps cai um pouco ao usar a mecanica de construção quando sua criação tem muitos objetos , mas não é algo que incomode, na verdade o mais impressionante é quando vc sobe para os ceus ou desce e desce para mapas mais abaixo e não há loading ou até quedas ao transitar entre os 3 niveis diferentes de mapa , A Nintedo fez bruxaria pra otimizar isso.
    No geral temos um jogo que faz com que Zelda breath of wild pareça um beta ,ele melhora tudo e incresenta coisas ainda melhores, definitivamente não há nada melhor do que esse jogo dentro desse genero e não tem nenhum jogo que chega perto de fazer oque ele faz.
    Se vc tem um switch ou pc gamer vá jogar ,fassa esse favor pra si mesmo.
    (observação dessa vez eu pensei que teria um jogo 100 no metacritc ,mas como a vida não é justa não foi dessa vez.)    … Expand

    Greatest game ever, the only demerit is that I regard breathe of the wild as a trial version now.

The map is nearly 3 times larger than the original with the caves being basically as big as the overworld. The overworld's addtions and the new sky islands make up about an extra 30-60% larger map!

    It is simply a masterpiece, proving that the graphics at 4k 120fps do not matter when compared to the gaming experience, even though the game is at 720p and 30fps it is very enjoyable, it has very good gameplay, very good story and simply a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an awesome game, I am so far only on the first dungeon, but it is a vast improvement on Breath of the Wild, and that is one of the best games that was ever made. For example, it sort of added crafting mechanics, which players have always been asking for in Botw. It also made the return of traditional more themed dungeons, this makes it a lot more fun, I also quite enjoyed getting to use the champions decedents, and I was positively surprised at how useful they were, like it wasn't just there for the decor, it was actually fighting, and the ability that I got to use so far was very helpful. Finally, I really like the 4 abilities that I have unlocked so far (recall, ascend, fuse, and ultrahand), they are a ton of fun to play with, and it adds a creative aspect to the game. Furthermore, combining all four abilities makes it incredibly good, especially for traversing the land, which, contrary to what some people may want you to believe, was vastly expended, with a vast underground, and a lot of sky traversal. In conclusion, it is an awesome game, and it is totally worth the price!… Expand

    Muy buen juego, tremenda ambientación, el estilo artístico es impecable y le queda como un guante no todo tiene que ser gráficos ultra realistas para tener buena pinta, la historia y las mazmorras también estan muy bien cuidadas y se sienten como una gran mejora con respecto a su predecesor, muy recomendado el juego

It does world design beautifully, whilst keeping the serenity of Breath of the Wild. Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games I have ever played. I am loving every second of it.

    Wonderful game, truly recommended, the crafting new mechanic add so much content. If his predecesor give us hundreds of hours of fun this one will give us even more, also like that is harder than BOTW. Definitely a strong competitor for GOTY this year!

    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.
