    Fun game but copied most of things from BOTW and Switch hardware holds it back. It shouldn't be sold as $70 because it feels more like an expansion than a full game.

I'm climbing mountains while taking advantage of the new mechanics and it's a blast. Going through the main land and discovering the changes in landscape from BotW is a great time killer. I wish they would have changed more of the landscape but then again keeping the land the same as the previous game is a nice change from Nintendo. Last but not least, one thing to remember is when you create such an amazing game, you will always have those haters trying to gain clout by trashing it, deep down they know they absolutely love this game.… Expand

    then there's the NPC's that transform into mega annoying enemies that don't give you much useful stuff. what does that teach me nintendo? it teaches me that I get punished for talking to NPC's, so naturally, I don't feel safe to talk to NPC's any more. genius move.
    Oh yes, then there is the GODDAMN GATHCA MACHINE, which has me wasting the resources I collected, just to try and get one of each item, I don't play games for gambling mechanics, this is reprehensible.
    The amazing stuff you can make, disappears if you walk too far from it, some of them even disappear midway through using them.
    If you want to ride a horse to travel faster, you can't use fast travel because the horse can't fast travel, except that is, if you go to a stable, where it can then be teleported from one stable to another... there is no logic to this.
    I go to trouble of exploring, to see if I find something interesting, and what's my reward? another bloody shrine, where i can solve a puzzle to get a light orb, to go to a statue, to choose either heart or stamina.... another convulted bit of BUSYWORK, rather than actually finding tangible things in the world like heart pieces.
    zelda used to be fun exploration that had a sense of discovery, but I don't feel much DISCOVERY from finding another damn shrine, or whatever collectable or currency is flavour of the moment.    … Expand

    This game is the disappointment of the year. I got it for free to test it and following all the hype I expected something great but what I ultimately got was nothing more than bad.

I got it for free to test it and following all the hype I expected something great but what I ultimately got was nothing more than bad.

    There are some positives; the game looks nice and the environments have a nice vibe to them. Furthermore, exploration is fun and the combination mechanisms are innovative and have a lot of potential. The allow for some really creative approach but are restricted by the clunky controls quite a bit (see next part for more on this). Too often a valuable building part falls down into the void and is gone until the game is restarted. That's not too bad though because it gives a sense of caution.

    The music is decent and sound effects fit the ambiance well but neither are something special. Voice acting is well done for the few spoken lines there are, but again, Link doesn't respond verbally to anyone.

    If that was everything about this game, it'd probably get a 7 or 8 score but the combat and the controls is what's the real catastrophe. They're just bad, really bad.
    First and foremost, who'd though putting the "run button" on th topmost button was a good idea. Not only does it hurt my hands but it also blocks access of the other face buttons. It's also so unintuitive, as other similar games have the run command on the downmost button, a shoulder button or the right analog stick.

    Even worse is the combat itself. While it doesn't help that everything breaks on you in the almost worst possible moment, switching weapons and gear is a chore in how the buttons are configured. That's as unintuitive as running. I'd rather open a menu and scroll through it then pressing two buttons while trying to choose the right weapon with a third one.

    Finally, the biggest no-go for an action-orientated game the complete absence of an "evade button". You can block attacks with a shield, but if you don't have one you're screwed. Because there is no dedicated evade method you have to run to not get hit, using that stupid button layout, while also trying to get closer to attack. That results in getting hit by enemy attacks a lot, because they have a god-like precision and many hit like a truck, even with a literal pebble causing you to have to deal with even more unintuitive menus to access healing items.

    Conclusion:
    I can't recommend anyone to play this game at all because combat and controls are abysmal. Even the most difficult Souls-likes have much better gameplay and are more enjoyable despite their difficulty.    … Expand

    The story is very bland, and while the few dungeon areas and bosses are much better than BOTW, they are a tiny part of the game, and trivial to solve//beat.

    Building things is fun for a few minutes, then you realize you have to remake them whenever you go anywhere like inside of a shrine, and it is way faster to run or glide. The battery power makes any machines essentially useless for anything other than novelty, if you want to actually use a contraption you need to spend a LOT of time grinding to upgrade your batteries, you will not get a reasonable amount of power just by playing or progressing through the story.

    Overall this game is like a BOTW + mod, it adds some things, and some of them are interesting, the gameplay is still the same and pretty solid, but it feels like the same game all over again. The rewards are things you already had in the last game, only a few people remember you, and nothing is nearly as exciting to explore as you have already been there in BOTW.

    This game is not bad, it is fun and enjoyable to play, however it is extraordinarily disappointing if you have played through Breath of the Wild.    … Expand

    These games aren’t Zelda. Such a big map forces meaningless rewards. There is no timeless music. No dungeons.

You would have to consciously decide to spend 10 minutes building a car when you could just walk over there in 2 minutes. My favorite franchise turned its mainline games into an open world gimmick and instead of the fans rejecting it like they should’ve, it was pandered too. I can only hope that Nintendo paid for and manipulated social media influencers to act like the game was an evolution for the franchise and the sheep did the rest. If not, then you got what you deserved with this game. Waste.… Expand

    An action RPG where you have to sift through menus during fights and not to make tactical decisions but because your weapon breaks 4 times in a fight against 3 enemies. In what world are we rewarding such a stupid mechanic with high praise. Also, it took 6 years to basically sell you the same game with some updated physics and skydiving.

    Wait a minute. I don't call it an adventure if it is merely vast. It's a journey that leads you on a never-ending trail of guided glances, atmospheres, objectives, and temptations.

    this might be a good development from botw if the game was balanced and the combat system truly thought out, but coupled with input lag, stubborn predictive pathing that makes you do things you never pressed the buttons for, and the fact that so many of the regular enemies are just irritatingly strong bullet sponges, it just makes for a highly frustrating experience with very inconsistent behavior that makes every combat entirely 1 sided. the fact that i can't really make healing items anymore just adds to this, since i'm not realistically able to prepare for difficult combat in the way that any other game in the series would allow. if they wanted to make this more similar to older zelda games, then they should stop making it so difficult to stock up, since it's ALWAYS been easy to collect a bunch of fairies or potions in every single entry prior to this. the fairy fountains don't even work right on the sky islands, since our companions will scare them away even if the fountain doesnt have a built in rocket archer that immediately makes them leave as soon as we arrive, whether we kill it or it shoots at us.

    the majority of quests, main or side, are outrageously bugged, the rewards for minibosses are often just useless amiibo drops that nintendo made stop working since botw, the visuals are decidedly more gloomy, less detailed, and lower contrast, there are far too many obnoxiously slow and repetitive cutscenes, NPCs talk WAY too much and say completely pointless and convoluted things that make it seem like the creators were trying to show off their middle of the road english skills, and all of these aspects make totk's hyrule a place that i simply don't feel enthusiastic about exploring. this game is more of a headache than a source of relaxation or entertainment, and that's really disappointing given just how many years nintendo had to make a finished sequel out of a world and platform that they had already made 90% of. yes, there is still a lot of cool stuff in this game, but it's just buried under a heap of unfinished jank. the developers CLEARLY saw how bad the recent pokemon games were and decided they didn't need to bring any kind of integrity to this new project.

    TLDR: if they don't patch this heavily, i'm never buying another zelda game, and it's really messed up that they are screwing with my childhood like this. i guess i can always go back to ocarina of time romhacks.]    … Expand

E este último mapa referido sofreu mudanças significativas e pra melhor. Mudança na jogabilidade dispensa comentários.
    Outra coisa que vi gente falando é que o jogo ta mais feio que o primeiro. Outra grande mentira. Já sobre a narrativa do game pra mim ta bem melhor que o primeiro. A gama de possibilidades no game se amplificaram e de modo consistente. Nota 10. Esse jogo é descomunal de bom!
    Tudo bem não gostar de Zelda, é do gosto de cada um. Eu mesmo não gosto de jogos souls-like e to ok com isso, mas não saio por aí dando hate em algo que pra muita gente significa muito.
    No entanto não faz sentido desmerecer ou superestimar uma franquia nos seus já 37 anos de existência só pq ela desbancou seu joguinho favorito. Nota 0?

    Objectively the peak of Nintendo. TotK shows up a lot of open world games, and even makes BotW look like a Demo. TotK is 3 times the size, and 100s of times more complex than it's near perfect predecessor.

Nintendo created an excessive open world and wanted players to go everywhere, but in order to archive that they had to introduce mechanics that solely exist for the purpose of creating unnecessary grinding. That's why breakable weapons were introduced, and you can not find any rupees, you have to go in the caves to mine rocks, but all caves are nearly the same.
    When you can go everywhere from the beginning, all sense of progression is lost and the game becomes meaningless.

    The negatives: The open world is too large, it wastes players time. Nintendo should have concentrated on content instead of an excessive open world.
    The game has not much content, when we take away the open world and the minigames (shrines), the only 4 very small dungeons main quest is pretty lackluster and leaves much to be desired.
    When playing Tears of the Kingdom you get the impression that creating clever dungeons that are based on a rewarding progression system and a good combat system were to hard for the japanese developers, therefore they had to replace it with shallow repetitive content which can be seen by the shrines, many of which the developers not even cared enough about to include any minigame, and the 900 korok seeds, which only add to the repetitive uninspiring gameplay.
    The game has it's moments like the gleeok design which looks awesome, but at the same time the developers went out of their way to add fog and bad weather to the game so the players can not enjoy the little bit of good graphics the game would otherwise have to offer on the already weak switch hardware.

    Overall Tears of the Kingdom is not a good Zelda game, it's not even a good game as with only 4 mini dungeons it lacks unique story content, which was compensated in the worst possible way by going with endless repetitive minigame shrines, korok collections and an too big map with nothing unique to do, according to the motto: quantity over quality.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pour ma part, j'ai joué a BOTW avec des étoiles dans les yeux, je découvrais plein de chose, j'adorais explorer et l'histoire était géniale. En 70h de jeu, j'étais comblé.

    Dans TOTK, avec 130h de jeu a mon actif, malheureusement, on a l'aspect découverte au début avec les nouveaux pouvoirs. Ensuite, c'est tout comme BOTW, donc on se retrouve très vite sur sa faim. Je me suis mis a découvrir les nouvelles zones des que j'ai pu, les cieux, les profondeurs.. mais sur terre c'est BOTW... Je ne prends pas les grottes en compte car elles sont souvent peu utiles...

    Un bon Zelda pour moi, c'est une bonne histoire et un bon gameplay.
    Mais là trop de chose ne vont pas...
    Sans prendre en compte le prix et les lacunes niveau performance et graphique de la Switch...
    Le jeu vaut le coup d'oeil étant donné que c'est une suite de BOTW, mais il y a trop de chose qui ne mène à rien. Le joueur n'est pas assez récompensé. On a 16 cinématiques "Souvenirs" et pour moi il en manque vraiment beaucoup. J'aurais aimé que cet aspect soit améliorer, peut être en ayant toutes les cinématiques Accessibles et pas seulement des souvenirs.
    Mais il y a un manque cruelle de cinématiques, de récompenses, d'équilibre entre explorer et trouver des quêtes qui sont SUPER importantes.

    Par exemple, dans les profondeurs, c'est vide, même après avoir afficher la carte a 100%, on a une récompense équivalente à "Bravo" : "Wow merci je me suis embêté a faire tout ça pour ça ? J'ai même pas de cinématique ? D'explication ? De ah merci ça a servi à quelque chose ?" Non rien. Tu peux juste enfin regarder toute la carte c'est génial.
    Plein de quête dans des villes qui "ne servent à rien", exemple a elimith où on assiste à une meuf qui veut monter au pouvoir, au final on règle la situation, et wow, on peut baisser notre capuche, MERCI !

    Le meilleur des temples qui apportaient des choses "Nouvelles" c'est le temple Gerudo qui pour moi est de loin le meilleur des temples BOTW inclut, et je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils n'ont pas gardés les même directives sur les autres, ou pas exactement pareil mais histoire que ça change un peu quoi..

    Maintenant, au niveau de l'histoire...
    Ils ont voulus jouer avec le temps... Chose qu'ils avaient bien réussi à faire a l'époque avec les Ocarina of time etc... Mais là c'est un échec absolu, ou bien nous n'avons pas encore toutes les réponses mais c'est vraiment inexplicable, on ne peut être que dans des théories et ça c'est chiant ! Quand je finis un jeu, je veux que tout soit expliqué au moins ! Mais là il n'y a aucune cohérence.
    Par exemple, Zelda revient dans le temps et se transforme en dragon. Pourquoi on ne l'a pas vu dans BOTW ? Étant donné que cela fait 10 000 ans qu'elle est sous cette forme, on aurait pu le voir dans l'ancien jeu.
    Autre exemple avec la master sword, cela veut dire qu'il y en a deux dans une même époque dans BOTW, une sur Zelda dragon, et une a l'arbre mojo... Et pire encore comme exemple, elles sont où les technologies Sheikah? A l'école d'elimith, on apprend que les créatures divines ont bien existé, on a même des références à celle-ci, mais on apprend rien de plus ? Elles sont où ? On a que des questionnements sans déconner ? On peut pas nous donner une cinématiques au début du jeu qui nous montre les 7 ans qui se sont écoulés ? Peut être qu'ils ont supprimés les Tours, les sanctuaires, les gardiens, et les créatures divines, MAIS RIEN N'EST EXPLIQUÉ ?
    BAH NON, ça sera sûrement fait dans des DLC qui nous viendront 40€ l'unités, qui sait??

    Si je résume sans spoil :
    - Scénario avec trop de flou et d'incohérences - Trop peu de cinématiques
    - Gameplay ok mais qui rajoute des tonnes d'heures inutiles et répétitives - Des quêtes parfois trop longues qui n'apporte pas grand chose voir rien
    - On peut vite rater des quêtes importantes sans même sans rendre compte
    - Les korogu, il faut arrêter ça rajoute 70h de jeu juste a courir dans tous les sens
    - Les armes se cassent toujours, on aurait pu avoir un système de réparation de nos armes mais non on peut en fusionner...
    - Améliorer son niveau de batterie, c'est un enfer
    - Trop de farm a faire pour récupérer des choses importantes
    - Les sanctuaires on en peux plus, c'est long et pourtant super important, les anciens Zelda me manque car il n'y avait pas ce concept bidon de courir partout et résoudre 4 énigmes pour gagner un coeur/endurance... - Trop peu de vrai discussion avec des vrais voix et pas juste des onomatopées - Temps de jeu beaucoup trop long, a 120h de jeu je suis a 60%...
    - Graphisme peu important car égale à BOTW
    - Performance compliqué a cause de la Switch

    Pour terminer les aspects positifs pour moi :
    - Le peu de cinématiques qu'on a sont sympa voire incroyable pour certaines
    - L'histoire malgré ces lacunes est sympa a découvrir
    - Le gameplay malgré le temps qu'il prend est bien et amène a joué avec son esprit créatif    … 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.
