    One of the best games I've ever played!! So much fun. Hyrule is huge and exploring it is super exciting, it feels different enough from breath of the wild that it's a really refreshing experience.

    The game is basically breath of the wild with a new gimmick. It's graphics are underwhelming due to the platforms limitations.

At this point we even have phone games which have better graphics than tears of the kingdom. Nintendo needs to start innovating again. Also the price tag of 70€ is not worth a rehash of botw since they reused alot of software for this more expensive new game. I wouldn't recommand this game due to the economic implications.… Expand

    Muchos se quejan de que los graficos, los 900p y los 30 Fps, esta bien. Muchos se preguntan porque a Nintendo no se le critica por este aspecto, un ligero apunte: Si Playstation es criticada por ejemplo por Forspoken tanto en gráficos como en rendimiento general es PORQUE PS5 DA PARA MUCHO MÁS, si Xbox SeriesX se critica por ejemplo Redfall por sus gráficos simples y sus 30 FPS, es porque Xbox Series X DA PARA MUCHO MÁS, y cuando en PC un juego sale mal optimizado incluso para una RTX4090 es porque esta mal optimizado, igual que los citados de arriba, pero en Switch nadie se espera gráficos, nadie espera 60FPS ( menos aún en un mundo abierto ) por ende, a sabiendas que la maquina en 2017 ya salió tecnológicamente desfasada si el juego no tiene mas gráficos no es achacable al juego SINO A LA MAQUINA.

    En definitiva, si te gusta Zelda, cómpralo, si te gustó BOTW es te encantara mil veces más, y si no lo hizo BOTW te aseguro que este si lo hará.    … Expand

    In trying to create this freedom of exploration and experimenting however, it truly surpasses its predecessor BotW in every aspect. Of course no review is objective, but if you want a good open world experience you definitely have it with Tears of the Kingdom, there are tons of activities to do, puzzles of all sorts, the design of the world and puzzles truly push you to use your skills in an imaginative way.    … Expand

    This game is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere, the music, the locations and the sheer amount of things to do is astonishing. If you thought Breath of the Wild was good, Tears of the kingdom is like BOTW but on crack. They found a way to truly top its predecessor in every single way while also maintaining what we loved of the first game. If you liked or didnt like BOTW you will love TOTK :).

    "THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM" is undoubtedly "2023 GOTY". It is the number 1 among AAA open world 3D action ARPG games. Combat action is the best. And above all, freedom is the best.

Es una pasada la variedad de enemigos la enormisimidad de los mapas que tiene. Porque si piensas que la novedad son las islas flotantes, espera y verás... Estan ocurriendo cosas a cada rincón que mires. Es literalmente imposible aburrirse. Tiene una gran variedad de enemigos, muchísimos más que el Breath of the wild. El doblaje al castellano es buenísimo, solo siento que no haya más escenas con audio pero bueno los juegos japoneses son así, más de texto leído. En cuanto al frame rate. Es cierto que no es perfecto pero la Nintendo Switch no da para más y no son nada grave tampoco estas caídas, ocurren cuando hay muchos enemigos y además haces volar todo por los aires, o sea necesitas muchísima carga en el juego para desestabilizar la tasa de cuadros, pero no es culpa del videojuego que está optimizadísimo, si no de la consola y no se puede ni debe penalizar al juego por el hardware donde se ejecuta. El juego se merece los 10 de la prensa y los 10 de los usuarios. Creo que esta vez el GOTY ya ha salido, queda mucho año y veremos, pero lo tienen difícil los demás.… Expand

    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.
