    Its BOTW+ similar concepts and motivation to explore. My only disappointment is that weapons still break, but with the new weapon system it isn't really that bad.

    This game is so good and beautiful with a great story and anyone that says that it's the same game as botw has either not played totk very long or rushed threw the game without spending some time exploring and with the story.
    Btw the endboss is so cool

    "Tears of the Kingdom" conseguiu replicar e expandir a sensação de inovação e descoberta de um mundo novo fornecida por seu antecessor. Com um enredo simples porém extremamente envolvente, o jogo nos apresenta uma das histórias mais sentimentais da franquia junto de uma jogabilidade extremamente inovadora e que nos permite passar horas e horas em Hyrule fazendo jus ao lema "it's science, b*tches!"

    Entretanto, há de se ressaltar que, em alguns momentos, Tears of the Kingdom não difere muito de BotW, especialmente na parte introdutória do jogo, o que pode frustar e/ou afastar jogadores que já jogaram o título anterior. Ainda assim, Tears of the Kingdom faz parte do roll de jogos categorizados como "must-play" do Nintendo Switch!!    … Expand

    What else can be said of the latest entry in the Zelda series? The game is Breat of the Wild, but improved. The building mechanic is just amazing to mess with, the story is amazing and intriguing, with several plot twists. The map is huge.

    A great sequel that greatly changes up the way you play the game. While the game frequently dips below 30fps it never takes away from the fantastic experience. The story, much like Breath of the Wild is lacking for a Zelda game but is still a step in the right direction. Truly a fun game for Zelda fans and newcomers alike!

    The story is beautiful, simply beautiful and something I was looking for a long time, a game where I really felt like a hero, because all the battles are epic and not difficult at all.

    This game does exactly what a sequel should do, take the first title and expand on it even further and create an even better experience. The new additions and abilities add so much more depth as well as the new areas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily the best LoZ experience there is. The return to traditional dungeons was welcome, and posed a much better and more intriguing challenge than the divine beasts. The gannondorf fight at the end was just the cherry on top with many challenging and unique phases, with a climax between clashing dragons in the sky. Easily the best game I've played in years.… Expand

    Given the way most AAA franchises are treated by studios, with routine and uninspired follow-ons or remakes (looking at you Assassin's Creed), this is a triumph from Nintendo. If you think this is a $70 DLC, or just two DLCs put together due to the sheer size of the world, then I just don't know what you expect out of a video game.

If you think this is a $70 DLC, or just two DLCs put together due to the sheer size of the world, then I just don't know what you expect out of a video game.

    If you didn't like BotW, you won't like this. It has a much bolder storyline with some added creativity that feels like a (close) return to form of the narrative-driven Zelda that I missed in BotW. The world is still an open world, which means most of the side quests are still scattered in pockets – stables, villages, etc. But that was also the remarkable thing about BotW: you really could just go anywhere and they've retained that. But they've added some linearity to how you should progress, which I quite liked.

    The main mechanical difference is the relationship between monster parts, materials, weapon breakability, and rupees with the new Fuse ability. Feels a lot more balanced vs. the hundreds of Bokoblin fangs you could gather in BotW only to be able to use them in...elixirs? A much needed upgrade.

    Main complaints which I overlook for the sheer imagination and scale of this game:
    - Performance is extremely laggy in some areas. And that's with the internal witchcraft Nintendo already has to make this game seamless as possible.
    - The added collectibles. I felt like the orbs and Koroks were enough in BotW. Here, they've added even more and it's what most AAA franchises do to make the game "interesting" after you've beaten the main storyline.
    - The scattered armor sets. I felt like BotW rewarded you for exploring the world, whereas TotK requires you to. Good armor you could purchase, special armor was findable. The sheer size of the world requires many more hours to really find the good armor than probably should be required.

    Many other aspects of BotW were improved: more linear main dungeons, a harder final boss fight, the ability to revisit main dungeon areas, and again, can we talk about that story?

    TL;DR – it makes BotW look uninspired and simple, which is just saying this should be Game of the Year.    … Expand

    This is a perfect sequel, in my opinion. It lives up to its predecessor in every way (except maybe the story) and introduces many new ideas, like the Zonai devices and the different levels of the map. It feels more like a traditional Zelda game than BotW but still keeps the same sense of wonder. One of the best games of all time.

    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.
