    Best game ever made. Period. No one else builds worlds or creates fun like Nintendo. Best developer in the industry for decades.

    The best game of all time, you have the freedom to go everywhere and do whatever you want, amazing history and it is like a breath of the wild, but improved 10000%

    As a life-long Zelda fan with only a mostly favorable outlook on Breath of the Wild, this game is everything I wanted it to be and so much more.

I do wish it’d come out on more powerful hardware, but that’s really no fault of the game as I feel it’s optimized as best as humanly possible given how ancient the Switch is; with myself only having experienced a handful of frame drops throughout my 60+ hour main story play through (yours will probably be a lot quicker, I just reeeally took my time and did a substantial chunk of side content). Long story short, I’ve adored every minute of this game so far, and I plan on dedicating as many hours as it takes to see through 100% completion.… Expand

    Best Zelda Game Ever. Best open world game I’ve ever played. Not A DLC. BotW is like an early game demo in comparison.

    I loved it, simply how they could retain the Zelda formula while incorporating such freedom and openness, really excited for the direction it's moving in

    This is straight up the best game I've ever played.
    In complete honesty, this title blew me away, just like the previous game.

    Zelda BOTW était déjà un excellent jeu, mais je trouve que TOTK a réussi à faire mieux. Tous les problèmes notables de Breath of the wild ou presque ont été corrigé :
    - bestiaire peu varié ---> des dizaines de familles de monstres en plus
    - les armes qui se cassent ---> la possibilité de fabriquer plein d'armes super facilement avec amalgame et les matériaux de monstres. - l'escalade    Zelda BOTW était déjà un excellent jeu, mais je trouve que TOTK a réussi à faire mieux.

    - l'escalade sous la pluie ---> la possibilité de faire des remèdes qui aident à grimper.

    On a beaucoup plus de contenu que dans Botw :
    - nouveaux ingrédients de cuisine
    - souterrain et îles célestes
    - une histoire beaucoup plus développée / point bonus lore et timeline
    - les artefacts soneaux super funs qui rendent encore plus amusant l'exploration
    - des grottes, des puits, des ruines a explorer en plus de la carte.

    ET LE JEU EST BEAUCOUP PLUS DUR ! J'ai déjà des dizaines et des dizaines de game over après environ 50h de jeu. Les sanctuaires sont plus difficiles, mieux pensés...

    Tenemos la mayor verticalidad x contenido en un videojuego. Hay miles de cosas que hacer tanto en las islas como mucho más abajo.

    Las posibilidades de resolver situaciones de manera que ni los propios desarrolladores habían pensado siguen estando presentes y funcionan muy bien creando una atmósfera de libertad incluso mayor que antes. El añadido de las mecánicas de construcción es otro nivel más de libertad en sus mecánicas jugables y en cómo estas afectan al mundo que te rodean.

    It's incredible how team Zelda can still surprise us after botw. The map feels surprisingly fresh despite being the one used for the previous game and constantly encourages to travel between the different surfaces. Every time you spend playing the game you find out new things to do, new side quests, curiosity forces you to keep off the track of the main quest line.

    It is absolutely fantastic and spectacular. Nintendo put a lot of effort into creating the perfect sequel. The way and freedom in which you can play the game however you want is greater than it was in Breath of the Wild. Each mechanic, story, music, and visualization is unique.

    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.
