    Its a perfection in just any way possible: The Gameplay, the story, the music, the fullness, the sidequests and anything else. The best 70€ Ive spend on a game since years now.

    Amei, a Nintendo se superou desta vez. A história é cativante, emocionante e explica muitas pontas soltas do jogo antecessor.

    Sinceramente Nintendo no decepciona con este gran juego,la verdad hay pocas cosas por la cuales quitarle ese 10 ,pero es que su gameplay,su mundo abierto,su historia y todo ,es digno de un GOTY, además siendo la Swicht una consola portátil el juego tiene buenas gráficas y corre exelente

Cualquier cosa que pueda imaginar es un aspecto a destacar. No te sientes jugando Breath of the Wild y sí se siente como otro juego pero también se siente la nostalgia de Breath of the Wild en algunas cosas, sin duda Nintendo supo perfectamente qué eliminar y qué dejar en este juego. Las nuevas habilidades de Link y el uso de la tecnología Zonnan hace que se sienta una finalidad en el juego totalmente distinta a su precuela y que explotes tu creatividad. La exploración es inmensa y el mapa no se siente repetitivo, la implementación del cielo y del subsuelo es perfecta. El subsuelo le da el toque tétrico que representa a Ganondorf y su historia es espectacularmente hermosa. La historia es tan hermosa que te puedes adentrar en su papel y al cabo de cierto punto puede hacer llorar a cualquiera. Ganondorf representa lo que ha sido en todos los juegos y se siente verdaderamente como un villano perfecto, representa al 100% el odio y la maldad encarnada en un ser pero a su vez es un verdadero genio, él logra un aspecto tétrico lo cual lo complementa con el subsuelo. Su maldad te puede hacer llegar a la pelea final con el odio hacia él sin dar tantos detalles. Las misiones secundarias se sienten más desarrolladas y ya no es como si fuera una simple recolección de materiales como en su precuela. El doblaje al español latino es simplemente una carta de amor al doblaje; la voz de Ganondorf genera un sentimiento de lo temible que es un verdadero villano. El fan service es bien usado y no se abusa de él, Nintendo escuchó muchos dolores de cabeza de Breath of the Wild y simplemente lo perfeccionó. Es simplemente el juego perfecto que no se ve cada que transcurra un largo tiempo.

    Simplemente un perfecto ejemplo de que Nintendo aún está a la altura.    … Expand

    Yes, it is still the Hyrule from BoTW (with minor changes) but you have 2 new "areas" with the sky islands and the huge underground to explore. I am still impressed on how they pull this off on Switch.
    Traversing the map is way more fun now with the building aspect. You can build Hoverboards, cars, boats etc. The new abilities are also more fun than the ones in BoTW. They add new ways to play the game. This affects weapons, fights and traversing in the game.

    There is also more depth in the story this time, and its more interesting in my opinion. Nintendo went for the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Instead they improved on what they built.
    Overall, its a great and fun game. The most important thing, it is a complete game not like the AAA games we get nowadays sadly.    … Expand

    Está claro que el juego no va a 60fps, pero es sin lugar a duda la secuela perfecta del juego perfecto, con un estilo de arte maravilloso, mundo abierto muy completo y encima tiene una historia lo bastante buena como para ser de las mejores(sencilla pero divertida). Además de su motor de físicas que literalmente es la vida 2.0.
    Maravilloso juego, perfecto para cualquier momento.

    Breath of the wild was a good game, but it didn't quite surpass Ocarina of Time.

    TOTK is a MASTERPIECE. It fully surpasses every Zelda game ever made. It's one of the only games I've played in my 30s that I can say is not only game of the year, but one is the greatest ever made.

    This is one of the few open world games that justifies its immense size. Totk improves on botw in every possible way.

Totk improves on botw in every possible way. Traversal is immensely fun and rewarding with the new ultra hand abilities and the added verticality with sky islands. Combat is more challenging than before, but most enemies drop materials that can be used to enhance equipment, making it always worth your time to bring down a tough monster. Side quests are absolutely everywhere, and all are interesting and unique. The story is much more compelling than before. Even the soundtrack is better and more varied than botw. Overall, there’s vastly more content and more to do in this sequel. It makes botw look like a tech demo.

    While this is the most fun I’ve had with a game in years, it’s not without its flaws. The UI is a bit clunky, especially when cycling through weapons mid-combat. Many of the shrines feel too short, too obvious, are empty “Raru’s Blessing” rewards, or are tutorials for mechanics that I learned 30 hours ago. I do miss the traditional Zelda dungeons of TP, WW, and SS, but I somewhat understand the need for more open dungeons in this game given the wealth of freedom granted by its mechanics. They could have taken away all of Link’s runes for a dungeon, but what fun is that? My last, and most forgivable, complaint is the game’s performance. The Switch is an outdated piece of hardware, and the way it struggles to run totk shows. But personally, the hiccups in fps didn’t bother me all that much. For others it certainly will: I’d recommend emulating the game at 60 fps.

    Tears of The Kingdom is not a perfect game, but it reaches closer to perfection than any other game that I’ve played to date. I’m currently 90 hours into the game, but I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of what this game has to offer.    … Expand

    after years of waiting, this game does not disappoint one bit. the same world we saw in the previous entry is fresh with new stuff to do, and honestly feels completely different. the story is ramped up and is honestly the best Zelda story in my opinion. the art-style is fantastic, the sound design is excellent, the combat is amazing as ever, this game is the best game of all time!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. !!!SPOILERS FOR MAIN STORY!!!


    Just the fact that you get put into gameplay at the start of the game so you can adapt to the controls is Awsome, and the discovery of the dried up Ganondorf (I’ll say Ganon for short but I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE) which then wakes up and somehow knows the name of Zelda and Link is so cryptic the first time you get to it, but becomes clear when the game ends. Also Zelda becoming a Dragon and staying one for 1000+ years just to heal up the Master Sword for Link to defeat the Demon King is totally unexpected. The 4 new powers are all useful and almost never situational (I like Recall and Ascend the most) and they let you do all sorts of stuff like having infinite battery on cars [I won’t say how >:)], or visit places you never even dreamed of in BOTW. The sky islands are great to explore, and the depths, while being really dark and scary when you first enter them are somewhat easy to explore since the lightroots are very visible so you have an objective every time you visit it.
    10/10 game, would never say anything bad about it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although I’ve poured 90+ hours into this game, I am joyous and amazed to say that I keep finding newer things every day and it is such a relieving experience! This game is definitely a masterpiece of the masterpieces, a game that would never be topped. This game, although it costs $60 on Amazon, is totally worth every cent. When I first started the game, I was amazed by the complexity and beauty of everything. The new Constructs were beautifully designed, the new horns of the enemies fit them so well! (My personal favorites are the silver Lizalfos and silver Lynel horns.) The new abilities are, what me and my friends call ‘Runes on Steroids’ because of their usages and similarities. Then there are the Depths. Whoo! How did Nintendo hide this much of a secret without it getting leaked? All in all, I could rant about this game for hours on end, but I’m much too tired right now, but this game, of course is a 10/10 must-play for me and you should buy it!… Expand

    An absolute essential. This game, for lack of a better term, is a game changer. I have already doubled the amount of hours played compared to BotW. I was concerned about how well it would run on a basically 10 year old system, but Holy cow, this blew my expectations out of the water.
    $70 is more than fair. 10/10 masterpiece, essential.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of zelda: Tears of the kingdom, sin duda alguna es una gran secuela, respeta y guarda mecánicas del botw y hasta las mejora, además su mundo, ahora mas extenso te incita a perderte y explorar las bastas tierras de hyrule. También mejora otros aspectos como los jefes que sin duda alguna se nota que la gran N puso empeño y creatividad al diseñarlos, los nuevos monstruos también son algo digno de admirar pues también regresan algunas criaturas de juegos anteriores. Las nuevas habilidades de Link hace que puedas abrirte camino de infinitas maneras. Y la historia perfectamente es lo que mas destaca (desde mi punto de vista) pues tiene trama tan seria como la de Majora's mask y el desarrollo de personaje como Rauru, Sonnia, Ganondorf etc. Sin duda alguna dan a entender que este juego tiene muchas pero que muchísimas posibilidades de ganar el GOTY.… 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.
