    With the desire of not spoiling the experience for anyone, traveling throughout the land of Hyrule I had grown to love in BotW was a magical experience; the newness of the additional areas had me grinning ear-to-ear.

    More "innovative" and "open" have created infinite possibilities, starting completely different explorations in familiar places. This must be the best game I have played this year.

    You PLAY IN THIS GAME.Every game mechanic has depth you can play with everything,story is epic,music is magnificent and every detail is thoroughly crafted by the game devs as if they predicted you would be there and would use that specific ability,I don't thinl i'll ever experience something like this in a long time,first time in my life I played a game completely open mouthed for 5 mins straight.

    THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC!!! I’m honestly disappointed in some of these reviews, this game is so vast I’ve barely scratched the surface it feels with about 15 hours! I love exploring with building cars, planes, boats, and whatever dumb things I come up with. There are THREE whole layers to the map, and with NO LOADING SCREEN it’s feels fresh and new while exploring hyrule once more. The storyTHIS GAME IS FANTASTIC!!! I’m honestly disappointed in some of these reviews, this game is so vast I’ve barely scratched the surface it feels with about 15 hours! I love exploring with building cars, planes, boats, and whatever dumb things I come up with. There are THREE whole layers to the map, and with NO LOADING SCREEN it’s feels fresh and new while exploring hyrule once more. The story feels full of mystery that keeps you going to find out what happened, the music feels tense or wild at the right moments. I will admit some bosses are kind of easy, it you really want a challenge, face the underground enemies which provides a tough challenge. I don’t think I could get tired of the games, if I start to feel bored? Don’t worry I can do lots of quests and challenges or maybe I want to build some funny monstrosity, YOU CAN DO THAT IN THIS GAME! I don’t regret the $70 price tag AT ALL. It’s not a $70 dlc, you can’t change my mind. There is a ton of new content and story that captivates you and keeps you playing. Nintendo outdid themselves and I’m excited for new titles of the future. THIS HAS TO BE GAME OF THE YEAR, no, GAME OF THE DECADE! 11/10 fantastic! :)
    P.S. I super disappointed in those who gave terrible reviews, half them are crying about their 50 hour, tedious dungeons not being there, and the others think it’s a dlc because of reused assets. Some people are also complaining about frame drops or no 4k which is dumb, the game looks really good (especially on oled switch), you can expect frame drops on the first couple months of release. THERE IS A REASON FOR UPDATES! Just keep that in mind and enjoy this game to the fullest! :)    … Expand

    以其广阔的开放世界，真实的物理反馈，丰富的实时互动，一举夺得年度最佳桂冠，成为本世代最优秀的游戏。在通关后的很长一段时间内，我都不停地在寻找，有没有类似这样能带来“纯粹乐趣”的游戏。现在，5年后的今天，我终于找到了，它就是《旷野之息》续作：《塞尔达传说：王国之泪》。

    Awesome game. Nintendo did it again. I really didn't find any challenges with framerate and Graphics is also good. Games are not about graphics which Nintendo has proved again an again.

    I played BOTW again from start to finish (over a hundred hours) before playing this game. Prior to the release, my fear was that the game will feel too similar and I will already be tired of the gameplay by the time I boot it up. Impressively, the developers has managed to make Hyrule unfamiliar and expand it to stupefying heights. This game is sooooooo huge!!!

Tip to new players: You need to read, you need to talk to NPCs and you need to be perceptive of clues. Go out and get wild.

    I never imagined my love for BOTW will be topped by the sequel who uses the same engine, artsyle, and main map. But TOTK managed to give that same sense of wonder I felt when I first played BOTW.    … Expand

    The humongous underground map is amazing & makes the game even more enjoyable than its prequel.
    Definitely worthy of appraise.    … Expand

    Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom es un juego sobresaliente en todos los aspectos. La historia buena e Intrigante, Hyrule si bien mantiene la Misma Geografia, Todo el Mapa Ha sido Cambiado por Completo con Muchas Nuevas Ubicaciones y Modficaciones que lo Hacen sentir Diferente, Fresco, Inmersivo y MUCHO MAS Vivo que BOTW haciendo que queramos explorar cada rincon del Mapa.

El Unico Incoveniente seria el Rendimiento en Ciertos Puntos del Mapa pero en general se mantiene Estable y no Arruinan La Experiencia. No tengo ninguna duda de que este juego merece la nota perfecta de 10/10 y lo recomendaría sin reservas a todos los amantes de los videojuegos y de la franquicia Zelda en particular. ¡Es una joya que ningún jugador debería perderse!"… Expand

    About 30-40 hours of playtime, It was my best game i ever experience last decade. This game don’t let you follow the path. Playtime will be 100% on you. For who don’t like to hang around without any purpose, go follow the quests. For who likes to hang around, go ahead. It’s your own world. Do whatever you want. But still, it worth playing

    The sequel of one of the best games ever made not only matches the level of its predecessor but surpasses it. There is no reason to pass on this experience. Despite the reused assets and models this game is definitely not “dlc”. I never understood that argument anyways, isn’t dlc of one of the best games ever made good? Just play the game.

    It is fun. Sometimes Laggy ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (not often). And the story is confusing at the start. Anyone who says it has a bad story should probably play some more of it though because it purposefully gives information slowly. It appears that the gameplay is really a copy and paste from breath of the wild. But, there is a lot more to do so if you liked breath of the wild................

    To counteract another idiot giving this game 1 or 0 out of 10 that obviously hasn't played it.

    Im 30 hours in, and this game has more content than any other game I have played since since Elden Ring. Sure it runs 30 fps and its a switch title. And with that I can still gladly say its my personal game of the year that I will happily sink hundreds of hours into and beat many times.

    Wonderful game! They took BotW and somehow improved every aspect of it. It's the "same" map, but simultaneously every area feels fresh and new. I really don't know how they managed it.

    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.
