    El juego es todo lo que cualquier fan puede esperar, contando con una gran cantidad de mapa por descubrir agregando el subterráneo y el cielo lo cual hace mas divertido y menos repetitivo a la hora de completar el modo historia

    Muchísimas cosas que hacer me sentí abrumado al principio pero pensar en que pasaré horas y horas en esta nueva versión de hyrule me basto para estar feliz y divertirme cómo niño al usar mi imaginación para resolver los cientos de acertijos simplemente hermosooo

    This is seriously the best game to come out in years and I really believe its the best game Nintendo has ever made. I'm completely in awe.

I went on a complete blackout before the game released and managed to avoid all spoilers. After playing it now for several hours I feel like I've barely scratched the surface. If you loved Breath of the Wild add at least 3 or 4 points on top of the score you gave that game. For me this is better than Botw in every way. I don't understand some of the negative reviews, but I'm not going to let them ruin my enjoyment of this amazing adventure. Thanks Nintendo!… Expand

    a breath of fresh air that makes you feel like a little explorer in a whole new map with so many things that make it so different from its prequel, every corner every place is something new to explore from the underground to the sky.

    Un juego que desborda repetibilidad y falta de ideas nuevas. No tengo ningún punto positivo más que destacar que no es el gran juego revolucionario que dicen allá afuera.
    Es como un Breath of the Wild 1.2 con una mecánica de construcción, que en mi humilde opinion no contribuye nada de valor.
    70 dolares se me hacen un precio muy elevado por un DLC glorificado.

    Nintendo's lazyness is big on this one. A forced agressive FSR 1.0 profile that drops the resolution from 900P to 780P 20 FPS in busy scenes, giving you a blurry mess and shifting resolution to crazy visuals that are unbelievably jarring.

    The game suffers from every Breath of the wild 's flaws, that were criticized LONG after the game was out to avoid being in trouble with nintendo, this game suffers the same barrage of fanboyism on day one, but little by little everyone that has played enough of this game see what everyone with a sound mind see :

    The same boring map as Botw, you rediscover absolutely nothing, it is even boring to have to redo all the same map, they couldn't think of any new mechanics too forcing you to accomplish 120 shrines on the main map and 32 in the sky. Not to even talk of the reused korok system . what is even more outrageous is the divine beast tier easy 5 sages dungeons. Not a single one was difficult, at all, the ambiance of BOTW was darker and felt like there was also much more at stake then this disney ified, cheap "sequel", the issue here is to sell this as a new game, it is not, it reuses 90% of all the known assets, animations, ennemies, there is maybe only 4 new ennemies in the whole game. one of them crawl on the roof of caves, one of them is a tree, another one is a pool of bloody hands trying to catch you, and the last one is a 3 headed dragon, THAT's IT !!! the rest of the game has every same reused ennemies from botw.

    Even memories storytelling system is as janky and badly managed as BOTW with 11 tears, so, 11 memories to find and you can find them, again, one of the biggest flaws of BOTW repeated the exact same way, in an anachronous, desynched manner, forcing you to rewatch all of them in a chronological order because we didn't feel like guiding the game with quests that make sense story telling wise at nintendo, profiting from the nature of the open world to get lazy AGAIN.

    There is also a lot of cut content from the trailers we saw, and they will obviously be made into dlc's, when we saw link in a special environment on the back of a huge animal, that is nowhere to be find in the current game, if you release a trailer for the game and cut content that was advertised as is before launch, i call it false advertisement. The trailer also gave the promise of a darker, more interesting game then botw dungeon wise, and nintendo saying the dungeons will not be divine beast like but have more of a regional feel to them and not do the same thing again. Guess what... These dungeons are as bad and as SHORT and easy as divine beast, even a toddler can finish one in under 20 minutes, and the bosses are way way way too easy too. leaving absolutely not much of a memorable moment , any taste in the mouth as they are done way too fast and give you absolutely no challenge.    … Expand

    Definitely the creatives for this game are ahead of their time, and on such a limited power system!!! This game keeps me hooked as there is always just one more discovery around the corner to keep me playing one more hour. This is engaging gameplay as well as the new construction physics, and solve however you choose puzzles.

    Ten days before its official release, there was a cracked version available online, which was a huge loss for players like us who spent money on cassette tapes. This developer made a big mistake, which is unforgivable.

    One of the most disappointing sequels I've played, the overall performance is very poor compared to even other Switch games
    And the characters like their dialogues were very disappointing.

    It is clear the legend of zelda is one of the best sagas of nintendo. In fact, this game its really amazing I played around four hours and I thinking wow its so addicted. Im in love with this game I can’t express the feelings about this game is really beautiful

    Although it's the same map as Breath of the Wild, Nintendo found a way to make this game bigger, bolder, and more fun. The new mechanics have let loose the player's creativity, and I'm sure many cool things related to the game will keep appearing for years to come. I've been playing for roughly four hours, but it keeps calling me every time to come back.

    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.

    This game is massive and huge in a bad way, if you played the first game, the Hyrule map is extremely repetitive, the floating islands are very small except for the tutorial island and the underground is a dark place with not much to do.
    Graphically it 's a very poor game where many hours are wasted doing inconsequential quests and getting Kolog seeds.

    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.

    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.

    whey you thought breath of the wild is the open world peak, in the fact that zelda team once again stand out here said all the player wrong. they have a better game. every thing you don't need to trust but nintendo and zelda team.

    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

    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.
