    Ce jeu est un bon jeux malgré quelques chutes de fps au début sur la zone de départ mais sa contre balance avec le paysage magnifique. se jeux n'est pas un dlc contrairement à certains qui le pense. perso jouer pendant plusieurs heures à se au mieux de le critiquer bêtement parce que il y a plein de nouveautés intéressantes.

    I though it was just a DLC. But No. It's far from my Imagination. Unbelievable. Everything is new. A big world with a lot of secrets. It's the best game of my life until now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Questo è il reale voto per Zelda tears of the Kingdom. Senza dubbio è un bel gioco e la trama è superiore a precedente capitolo. Però, già c'è un grande però. Anzi, grandi però. I sacrari sono ancora più inutilmente inutili rispetto a botw, i dungeon tanto decantati non ci sono, se non dei labirinti del cavolo e templi con i soliti enigmi del cavolo. Il sistema armi che ancora si rompono, anche più velocemente di prima. Il movimento del cavallo è ancora una merda. Il sistema di combattimento è vecchio di 10 anni e senza ancora un roll o una schivata. Niente. Il sotto mondo è inutile e bah... Inutile è la parola giusta si. Il cucina dopo un po' diventa fastidioso così come il crafting delle cose. Solo che il primo ti serve per creare cibi per l'energia, il secondo è proprio una cavolata. Ah ma tutti si divertono a creare la macchinina, quindi per gli altri è un 10. Allora perché ho messo 8? Perché è botw con una trama bella. Più di 8 questo gioco non può avere.… Expand

    Le premier épisode s’est hissé à mon top 1 de mes jeux préférés de tous les temps. Cette suite me faisait peur car comment faire mieux voir aussi bien. Eh ben je ne suis pas déçu. Nintendo a une inventivité folle et le plaisir de jeu est incroyable par la richesse de son gameplay de la possibilité des approches avec un level design aux **** oignons. Un nouveau chef d’œuvre.

    Una secuela muy creativa, el uso de nuevas habilidades, mejor estabilidad, un mundo abierto mucho más grande y una historia que da continuidad al mundo de breath of the wild. Simplemente hermoso.

    Previously, there were only 2 other games that I couldn't stop discovering, DOS2 and Elden Ring, but the feeling of playing Zelda: TOTK is still a great experience. This is my first time playing a Zelda game, I haven't even played Zelda: BOTW. I should have experienced Zelda sooner.

The change these "players" haven't even played more than 10 Min or even at all is really high. Zelda BOTW shocked the player immediately and forcefully. Tears of the Kingdom does the same with depths and SENSE OF PLACE I have never encountered before. Is that a reason this game is having high scores? Maybe yes, and maybe it is such a majestic masterpiece it takes patience and time to be understood. (Maybe a bit of brain too, but we know that is lacking in all review bombers).… Expand

    I'm 20 hours into the game and it's amazing. Core gameplay is masterful, the story is intriguing, and the world is mysterious and beautiful. Nothing compares with this game as a single player experience (nothing, really).

    I'm a huge Zelda fan. I've already played for over 60 hours, and WHAT A GAME! I've completed 67% of the shrines, collected over 100 Korok seeds, explored 90% of the map, and completed half of the dungeons. It will probably take me another 60 hours to finish all the shrines and complete the game.

    Pros (in comparison to Breath of the Wild): *The gameplay is more enjoyable. *The map is    I'm a huge Zelda fan. I've already played for over 60 hours, and WHAT A GAME!

    Pros (in comparison to Breath of the Wild):
    *The gameplay is more enjoyable.
    *The map is significantly larger.
    *The cinematics are amazing and have improved a lot.
    *The dungeons feel almost like proper dungeons again.
    *There is a greater variety of shrines.
    *New map bosses and a plethora of new weapon possibilities through fusing.
    *Overall, I estimate it to be 20% better than BotW.

    Cons (related to the Zelda genre):
    *While the game boasts impressive art and visuals, its appearance is becoming outdated and falls short in comparison to BotW's market at launch.
    *The dungeons are still short and easy.
    *The dungeon bosses are easy and lack clever design.
    *There are practically no moments of hard thinking or struggle.
    *The depths feel somewhat repetitive, and their design is not very appealing.
    *I miss some of the old items, particularly a musical instrument and hook shot.
    *Many Zelda fans are concerned that Nintendo might completely abandon the old genre, especially 2D. But please, Nintendo, don't do that! Keep both styles! A Link Between Worlds was amazing!    … Expand

    Sin duda es un juego imperdible para la Nintendo switch, siendo el juego mas ambicioso y grande de dicha consola

    Los unicos defectos desgraciadamente es su optimizacion, siendo que tiene demasiados bajones, son comprensibles sin duda alguna, pero si son muy constantes en combates o pueblos, aun asi no opacan la enorme creatividad que te incita a tener el juego    … Expand

    Fantastic game. Takes everything from the previous game and builds upon it. Incredible gameplay loop, music, enemies and runes.

The music has vastly changed, in spite of what many reviews seem to be saying. It does keep motifs from previous games and a similar style to breath of the wild, but it is new and very well composed. The enemies have the perfect amount of health and scaling to make them fun to fight time and time again, and there’s TONS of enemies not seen in breath of the wild. Not only this, but the rewards for fighting enemies are far better than any in breath of the wild, and contributes to the gameplay loop. I can’t decide which rune is my favorite or the most useful because they are all incredibly useful in their own ways. All very well designed. As of right now the two places I feel it could improve are story and dungeons (keep in mind I have not fully played through either of these things yet). However, the dungeons are vastly improved from botw. All around a great game, tons of fun to play.… Expand

    Anyone who says the game is recycling the same map as Breath of the Wild hasn't put any time into the game or just hated Breath of the Wild because it broke from the traditional Zelda gameplay and needed an excuse to give it a 0.

Before playing Tears of the Kingdom, I played through Breath of the Wild again and although Hyrule is still Hyrule, it doesn't even remotely feel like the same map. Don't get me wrong, some games deserve negative reviews be it for lack of quality or original content (or overall performance) and even some of my absolute favorite franchises have deserved this negative attention recently, but Tears of the Kingdom is not one of those games. I'm convinced people just want a reason to hate a game that does well. (Keep in mind, people want a reason to hate ANYTHING that does well, not just games. It's human nature.)
    Expect anyone who gives this game a good rating to be called a "NiNtEnDo FaNbOy" for actually enjoying a well made game by the few review bombers out there.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll keep it short and sweet. This game is very good, it is not great. The things it does well it does VERY well. Ultrahand ability is pretty fun to play around with, a little clunky at times, but fun. The fuse ability was a waste of development time. Scrolling through a list of materials 600 times just to find the one thing I need to shoot a very specific type of arrow gets old super fast, you then have to choose it over and over again for EVERY arrow that you are shooting. Fuse could have been left out and no one would have really cared in my opinion. A lot of the same assets, a lot of changes to the over world to keep it somewhat fresh, but not anything substantial. The sky islands can also be almost completely avoided other than what you have to do to progress the story. The depths are a half baked minecraft deep dark clone that also could have been left out. Let me aimlessly walk around in the dark and look for light roots while hoping I have enough bloom seeds and having to go through the terrible UI every time I need to pull one out. "Temples" aren't temples, its a fetch quest type thing where you must go find 4-5 things with uninteresting puzzles. Also having to play this at 1080p at 30fps in 2023 is sad, it only gets worse when it can't even keep a steady 30fps. Intense areas will drop you down so far that you can't keep up with what's going on.

    Ganon having character this time around is refreshing, haven't had something like that since windwaker. Final battle and the gauntlet you have to go through to get there was really good in my opinion.

    Having an open world Zelda is great, but for story and progression I wish that it did have some path to it, not linear like Skyward sword, but more "This is the direction you need to head, do that however you feel it needs to be done" not "here's the entire world, go and do".

    8 out of 10. Not perfect, I really do miss real temples the most, but overall a really good game.    … 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.
