    Une incroyable aventure, un gameplay addictif, une direction artistique au top.. on a vraiment du mal à lâcher la manette une fois qu’on y a gouté… le seul défaut, c’est le hardware complètement périmé de la switch… faire tourner ce chef-d’œuvre sur une telle console est tout simplement un gâchis….

    Jogo com gráfico de antiga geração, é igual ao anterior,esse jogo é um lixo,esperava algo melhor,sem falar que o antigo está mais realista e mais bonito,mas esse está horroroso,como um jogo horrível desse ganha uma nota tão alta sendo que jogos muito melhores que isso está com nota abaixo .

    After spending 40+ hours I can safely say, that this game is a absolute gem. Yes it is similar to BOTW in many aspects, but also very different from it too. With more than double the size to explore and a world filled with secrets and things to explore, prepare to get lost for hours. The new abilities are all very good thought through and enable the player to solve problems their own unique way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom is the best game of the year and maybe of all time. its a amazing sequel to a game that was already amazing it just improves by a massive amount. theres so much to do ever single corner of the map its almost overwhelming at times and i switch to breath of the wild and was shocked how empty that world fells and the story is not as good as totk amazing zelda packed story. JUST BYE THE GAME!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I want to first address the ppl giving low scores or Average scores as well as negative reviews (7 or below). I read about 10-15 of them. I would say 12 of them didn't like the first game or at least saw BOTW as a 7 (based from there review). If u loved the first, you will love this one MORE.

    Now regarding the comments stating that the map is reused- the map IS brought back, however, it is revamped as well as the shrines are in different places and shrines themselves are completely Different puzzles and brand NEW. If anyone here has played Bloodborne - the old hunter DLC took an already played area but COMPLETLY revamped it- basically making it feel like a new area and fresh and almost unrecognizable. It's the same here in this game. You go to a familiar place and your not like "oh this is the same old place" - its more like "Oh i didint even know this was that place from b4".

    I want to say this as my final thoughts. Zelda BOTW was my first Zelda game ever and when i bought it i had no expectations and didint know what to expect, and was blown away which lead to be replaying it 4x over the years. When i got this game I told myself im sure this is the same thing as b4 there's no way they can change it up, AND for the first few hours i was like "yea this is just more BOTW" BUT when I continued i realized that i was so wrong and much better and more then BOTW2.    … Expand

    On that basis, Tears of the Kingdom is a clear 10/10. It's as good or better than any other major title out there in its vintage.

    That's not to say that I don't see flaws. I do. Once again, enemy variety could be better, though it is notably improved from BotW. Dungeons are also better than BotW, but not as good as I could imagine them being. I can go on.

    However, I can do this with any of its competitors very easily. It's at or above games of its vintage and that's why it earns a 10/10.    … Expand

    The game is amazing, its a Zelda game with new mechanics... Everyone complaining that its not the "old" Zelda need to realize that not every game should be exactly how it was before, change is good sometimes... And Nintendo certainly showed us with these last two Zelda games lol

    I am absolutely stunned by how much fun I have had so far. The world is enormous, engrossing, densely packed, and exceedingly innovative in ways never seen in video gaming before. IMO Tear of the Kingdom is the best game ever made.

    Es mas un DLC que un nuevo juego por muchas razones, el mejor DLC que vi en mi vida si, pero un DLC y que este juego salga a 70 euros y que apenas veo cambios visuales con BOTW pues deja mucho que desear por esa parte.
    El apartado de jugabilidad es lo mismo pero la parte de creatividad y rienda suelta al jugador si que es una maravilla, el resto es normal

    Excelente e imprescindible. Las mecánicas nuevas son divertidas y solidas pero me sacan del ambiente que a tenido siempre la saga. Las mazmorras siguen siendo repetitivas. La trama tras un par de horas de juego es interesante y buena.

    This game teaches how to make a sequel to a game.
    It's different, unique, but still feels like the first one. It have it's soul!
    Definitely not repetitive and absolutely worth playing!!
    The game is awesome, really, the game design innovates a lot, the plot is really well written, the new pieces of lore to the Zelda universe are awesome!
    This game is a must!

    Big for nothing. Pretty empty. The time of play is artificially inflated by weapons system and traveling.

    Its always hilarious to read all those reviews by people who give this game a low score. 90% of them consist of buzzwords or phrases that make it obvious that those people have not even played the game and just parrot things they read on certain imageboards and forums.

    Fun game, enjoyed a great deal of it so far. Without spoiling anything, the combat is better this time around, the story is fun, and the world is enjoyable.

    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.
