    Hello folks. I just wanted to say how incredibly awesome this masterpiece is.

    After an eternity of time I've finally made a game that has an extremely addictive factor after the tutorial. Great, Nintendo... just great...

    This game is really a better version of BOTW and i love it, the only thing could be that it looks literally the same as a sequel but i dont really care.

    Everything that I wanted from BoTW and more. This game brings the true Zelda series roots back to the unbelievable open-world they created with BoTW.

    Wonderful game, truly recommended, the crafting new mechanic add so much content. If his predecesor give us hundreds of hours of fun this one will give us even more, also like that is harder than BOTW. Definitely a strong competitor for GOTY this year!

    Hay más dificultad que en Bow
    Hay más enemigos
    Hay menos armas
    Gran juego, es similar a Bow pero con mecánicas distintas

    Le jeu est prenant, vaste et laisse une liberté de possibilité extraordinaire.
    Pour moi le jeu est une véritable réussite.

    Sequel to the greatest game of all time. Not very far but the world feels very different and I love all the new mechanics. Minor visual issues mostly at fault of the switch.

    Desde que tengo 15 he jugado Zelda y de verdad que de todos los que he jugado este juego me ha llenado de tanta alegrías con su inmenso mapa, grandes y nuevas cosas por descubrir. Es un juego totalmente recomendable para aquellos que aman juegos de mundo abierto.

    Zelda è Zelda. Musica bellissima, ambientazioni favolose, gioco gigante. Solo la frustrazione di pochi detrattori può portare a offendere un lavoro del genere. Come alcune recensioni fatte senza finirlo e altre senza nemmeno giocarci.

    Tears of the kingdom is grand in scale, as I'm sure many have pointed out the vast sky islands and great depths add so much to the game in scale.

    Amazing game. Best of skyward sword and botw in one game. The beginning part is more challenging than botw, but it’s a lot more awarding. Dungeons are great, however not as good as others in the franchise, but the shrines make up for it

    Nintendo has just released their Magnum Opus with this beautiful game. BOTW was close to perfect, but the Zelda team nailed it with this gem. Anyone saying this game is less than an 8 should be real about it. I’ve been playing games for a real long time. I’ve played quite a few in that time. It don’t get much better than this. The mechanics and physics alone are something next level. PlayNintendo has just released their Magnum Opus with this beautiful game.

Play whatever you want to play, I’m not trying to say that everyone needs to love this game. Just give it a fair shot with a play through, then rate it based on that. That review from the “Nintendo employee” is bogus too. Shameful to try and keep a great game down. If you have any kind of passion for gaming, then give this a shot. You more than likely won’t be disappointed.… Expand

    It’s awesome. The game BOTW was always supposed to be. The negatives of BOTW have been addressed and 6x the content has been added.

    The best open world game, new tools, powers and mechanics to have fun and be creative, this is what a sandbox game looks like. My favorite aspect of the game is the amount of story/cutscenes we get this time in comparison with BOTW.

    What they give you in BoTW they still give you in ToTK but even better. If you like BoTW I'm sure you will enjoy this game too. Nintendo really outdone their job one again. Game of the many years right here.

    With the desire of not spoiling the experience for anyone, traveling throughout the land of Hyrule I had grown to love in BotW was a magical experience; the newness of the additional areas had me grinning ear-to-ear.

    More "innovative" and "open" have created infinite possibilities, starting completely different explorations in familiar places. This must be the best game I have played this year.

    You PLAY IN THIS GAME.Every game mechanic has depth you can play with everything,story is epic,music is magnificent and every detail is thoroughly crafted by the game devs as if they predicted you would be there and would use that specific ability,I don't thinl i'll ever experience something like this in a long time,first time in my life I played a game completely open mouthed for 5 mins straight.

    THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC!!! I’m honestly disappointed in some of these reviews, this game is so vast I’ve barely scratched the surface it feels with about 15 hours! I love exploring with building cars, planes, boats, and whatever dumb things I come up with. There are THREE whole layers to the map, and with NO LOADING SCREEN it’s feels fresh and new while exploring hyrule once more. The storyTHIS GAME IS FANTASTIC!!! I’m honestly disappointed in some of these reviews, this game is so vast I’ve barely scratched the surface it feels with about 15 hours! I love exploring with building cars, planes, boats, and whatever dumb things I come up with. There are THREE whole layers to the map, and with NO LOADING SCREEN it’s feels fresh and new while exploring hyrule once more. The story feels full of mystery that keeps you going to find out what happened, the music feels tense or wild at the right moments. I will admit some bosses are kind of easy, it you really want a challenge, face the underground enemies which provides a tough challenge. I don’t think I could get tired of the games, if I start to feel bored? Don’t worry I can do lots of quests and challenges or maybe I want to build some funny monstrosity, YOU CAN DO THAT IN THIS GAME! I don’t regret the $70 price tag AT ALL. It’s not a $70 dlc, you can’t change my mind. There is a ton of new content and story that captivates you and keeps you playing. Nintendo outdid themselves and I’m excited for new titles of the future. THIS HAS TO BE GAME OF THE YEAR, no, GAME OF THE DECADE! 11/10 fantastic! :)
    P.S. I super disappointed in those who gave terrible reviews, half them are crying about their 50 hour, tedious dungeons not being there, and the others think it’s a dlc because of reused assets. Some people are also complaining about frame drops or no 4k which is dumb, the game looks really good (especially on oled switch), you can expect frame drops on the first couple months of release. THERE IS A REASON FOR UPDATES! Just keep that in mind and enjoy this game to the fullest! :)    … Expand

    以其广阔的开放世界，真实的物理反馈，丰富的实时互动，一举夺得年度最佳桂冠，成为本世代最优秀的游戏。在通关后的很长一段时间内，我都不停地在寻找，有没有类似这样能带来“纯粹乐趣”的游戏。现在，5年后的今天，我终于找到了，它就是《旷野之息》续作：《塞尔达传说：王国之泪》。

    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.
