    Definitely a great game, everything we needed from Zelda game, includes new mechanics, new crafting system, overall a great game from Nintendo.

    So far I can't shake the feeling that this game is literally just Breath of the Wild from a parallel dimension. SO MUCH of it is thematically, mechanically, or aesthetically the same, reskinned as a sequel.

    Some of the new stuff I like, some not so much.

    Fingers crossed that the story is better and more substantial this time around - too early to tell.

    El juego es simplemente mágico, puedes perderte por horas en un área y siempre encontraras algo que hacer , el apartado artístico y musical son simplemente perfectos, el gameplay muy entretenido y con mas secretos por descubrir que la entrega anterior.

    Ahora no se dejen engañar por la gente que anda diciendo que solo reciclaron mapa y assets cosa que muchas compañías hacen pero la diferencia es como las implementas y si, aunque ma base del juego es el mapa anterior ,con todos los añadidos se siente completamente nuevo , las nuevas áreas como las islas flotantes le dan un aire de frescura y el mapa principal, aunque encuentres locaciones familiares no te dejara de dar la sensación de que lo estás explorando por primera vez , la única razón de ponerle 9 es que no me tachen de fanboy XD .Si el juego te llama la atención no lo dudes mas y juégalo, no le hagas caso a todas esas personas que tratan de hundir algo tan maravilloso como lo es esta entrega de Zelda y el que te diga lo contrario es por que no tiene ni idea del

    -6 new bosses, 6 new enemies (that's 2 enemies per year of dev time)
    -bosses are just generic "shoot the eyeball" and then the boss staggers for 20 seconds
    -dungeons are just 5 shrine puzzles stapled together -Sky Islands look cool but are 5% of the game map, most of them just have a "move the green crystal to the shrine using a garry's mod plane" -Underground is barren wasteland with    -6 new bosses, 6 new enemies (that's 2 enemies per year of dev time)

    when you've been with Nintendo as long as i have (the beginning) you learn to trust them to pull the rabbit out of the hat. EVERY. TIME. i don't know how they do it but i promise they always do.

    and this is no exception. incredibly well crafted and almost endlessly replayable, this game will be talked about long after the trolls take their (tiny) balls and go home lol. mark my words.    when you've been with Nintendo as long as i have (the beginning) you learn to trust them to pull the rabbit out of the hat.

    This game is amazing truely a game of the generation fix major complaints from the previous game. The world is alive and teeming with quest to do and things to discoved. The story also takes a more foward role the game like zelda games of the past and is truley deserving of all the praise it receives!

    Es lo que debió ser botw desde un principio. Muy adictivo y con mecánicas interesantes, pero con una cierta sensación de deja vu constante.

Las islas flotantes, el subsuelo, puedes explorar cualquier sitio. El comienzo es el mejor comienzo de toda la franquicia, los nuevos santuarios, la subida de dificultad de los NPCs.
    Ha valido la pena la espera.

    Esse jogo é uma obra de arte, pega tudo oque tem do BOTW e melhora em 1000x.
    história mais aprofundada, gameplay aprimorada, puzzles mais divertidos, dungeons e toda a magia do zelda.

    People don't understand that the graphics don't make the experience, for example Hogwarts Legacy has excellent graphics but the gameplay is so boring. I'm not a Nintendo fan at all, but saying that this game is a BotW DLC shows that you have no idea about videogames or haven't played the game enough.

Just the tutorial area of TotK is much better than the tutorial area of BotW, and the possibilities with the new mechanics are endless. The fact that all players have passed the tutorial in a different and creative way speaks a lot about the game. In general terms, it's more of the same as BotW but greatly improved.

    I thought Tears of the Kingdom is a really good game. Its just as good as Breath of the Wild. The only difference between the two gameplay wise is the new abilities. I spend most of the time aimlessly wandering around in the open world trying to progress with the game, same as BOTW. I'm kind of concerned about the future of the Zelda franchise.

    This game, along with its predecessor BOTW, as well as RDR2, GTA V and The Witcher 3 are the proof games are the best form of entertainment.
    This is simply the best game ever made. Period.

    Common Nintendo, I understand that it comes the time when a game series runs out of ideas (gears of war), but why did you sold this copy and paste game for 70 dollars?

    Why not just close the game series for good? You obviously have no more good writers or directors. The voice acting is horrible, the music is not memorable at all. The cons are already mentioned, so I wont talk bad about    Common Nintendo, I understand that it comes the time when a game series runs out of ideas (gears of war), but why did you sold this copy and paste game for 70 dollars?

    Master Piece! Increíble lo que es capaz de hacer el talento creador en una consola considerada obsoleta, cómo cabe toda esa magia en míseros 16 GB, siendo que los titanes AAA hoy por hoy andan en la media de 50-100 GB. Y que decir del juego per sé, SUBLIME en su totalidad. NINTENDO, Namasté.

    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.
