    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is by far ine of the best games i have played. Even though the surface map is the same from botw, there is still so kuch more new stuff and so much to discover. Between the depths, the surface, and the sky, you never run out if things to do. The game also provides a very immersive experience and it makes you want to just walk around, explore, and learn more about the enviornment. In botw, i was more focused on how to get around quickly bc it seemed there wasnt much to do, except the occasional shrine and maybe a npc here and there. In totk, they really stepped it up and provided more side quest and the chance to change the enviornment around you. The story is also another thing that they did an immaculate job with, in botw the story was mostly just memories, but in totk there are still memories that provide an extra bit of content but, there are also main story quests that reveal more that happened in the past, between the individual storylines with each sage and the constant storyline about zelda and her adventures in the past, it all just blew me away, the story was so powerful at times that it had me on the edge of my seat wondering what else happened.

    I feel like i cant talk about totk without mentioning the new abilities that link possesses. Ultra hand provides the player with so much freedom and it creates a whole new level of puzzles. The ability gives the player so much freedom to go anywhere or do anything they want. Fuse is among one of the best abilities ive seen in any game, allowing the player to fuse anything to their weapons, shields, and arrows provides them with so much freedom to upgrade their weapons, i have never seen anything wuite like fuse, its a very creative solution to the problem presented in botw, having base weapons with no upgrades available, allowing the player to fuse almost anything to theor sword gives them the freedom to make some weird combinations and gives them the ability to make the weapon the want/need for certain situations. Ascend is the most useful feature i have used, it cuts out a significant amount of climbing and it presents a new types of puzzles, ive heard alot of people refer to it as the new cryinis but, i have to disagree and give that title to recall, recall is probably ny least favorite out of all of the abilities but, i still love it. Overall this game provides an amazing experience for the player, this game is very unique but, in a good way. This game gives you the chance to have a ton of freedom and creativity. You could play tgrough this game a million times and I guarantee that each play through would be different. Bith the story and the gameplay are among some of the best in the entire selda series, this game was worth $60 and i would gladly pay for it again.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow I've never been this disappointed with a Zelda game even though I played every game of this franchise... This is no masterpiece this is a cheap lazy cashgrab.. Of course it's not a trash game but this at maximum deserves a 7/10 because it fails at so many places...
    ...missing music and dungeons (I needed 15min for each of them except the fire dungeon)...
    ...the new "dungeons" are so easy and with hardly any riddles it's embarassing...
    ...boring, repetetive and empty underground and also at times sky and lands...
    ...tedious farming for ingrediants and weapons...
    ...annoying cooking, breaking weapons, breaking master sword...
    ...no surprises, no awe moments, no breathtaking scenes...
    ...most boring lazy cringe story with least possible effort and creativity...
    ...complete 1/1 copy of gameparts like plateau area, plot revelation, end boss battle, ...
    ...Amibo icons in the MENU and everywhere...!!!!!
    ...bad ui choices interupting battles...
    ...no battle is worth the amount of resources lost in contrast to the loot you get...
    ...lies to the players faking drama when telling zelda's transformation is permanent...
    ...Link looks like a dumbass not telling anyone he knows what happend to Zelda since like 80h+ of playtime ago...
    ...makes no sense lore wise and in regards to BotW (missing divine beasts, missing sheikah, ...)
    ...patching master sword and duplication glitch shows Nintendo doesnt want you to have fun...
    ...objectively this cant even be 96.... 80% graphics, 60% music, 50% plot, 80% gameplay, freshness 60%... if this were a 96 there'd hardly be anything to criticise yet there is tons of stuff...
    ...no motivation to beat Ganondorf... does he even do anything remotely bad?! people live happily...
    ...ending could have been great but missed opportuniy with much too easy Zelda catching (also you fall in the water so without you she would have fallen in the water anyway...)
    As a sky island dlc this would have been ok, a complete game with empty underground and sky islands wasn't needed... maybe liked by fanboys and kids building ***** for tiktok videos (yay game of the year!!)    … Expand

    I was concerned this game would just be more BOTW, but it’s fresh and fun! Then opening cut scenes are exciting. Some say the first few hours are slow, but I needed that because I haven’t played BOTW in five years, so I had to relearn the controls again.

    Nintendo has fallen far from grace. This game actually looks like a Wii game from 2007, and the faded ugly color scheme is an eyesore. Building mechanics are laughable, everything bad from BotW has returned but worse.

    Please bring back the old Zelda games, items, dungeons, fun bosses and eccentric characters are what have made Zelda what it *was* for 35 years.

    When the first trailer for Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) dropped, I wasn't too keen on buying the game because of Breath of the Wild (BotW).

Despite all the praise BotW received, I struggled to finish the game. I only made the effort to finish BotW because at some point TotK convinced me it might be a fun game. I finished BotW months before the release of TotK, despite having purchased it at launch.

    The difference between the two is night and day. TotK is NOT glorified DLC. Those who claim it is DLC are clearly lying about having played the game. It is a highly fun and addictive game.

    Pros:

    The game is seamless. You can find the highest sky mountain and glide into the deepest chasm without any loading screens. That is impressive when you consider it's all on the Switch.

    The game is visually stunning. While it's doesn't have the graphics of something like FF16, it's watercolor art style feels just right. I play this game on an 80" 4k tv and I don't mind the look of it.

    The way the story is delivered has some issues, but the story is touching. Zelda is not just damsel in distress like in previous games. She plays a major role in helping you defeat the Demon King.

    Ultrahand is the bread and butter of this game. It has limits but there's a lot you can do with it. It all depends on how creative you are. Some of the fusions look wacky, but they are fun to play with.

    Cons:

    It does have some frame rate drops. This game really does push the Switch to its limits, but for what this game does, it is truly impressive how much it gets away with. The drops aren't too frequent to ruin the experience. The only moment I remember seeing a frame rate dropping was when I jumped off a sky platform chasing a fire-dragon that was going into a chasm. I glid alongside the dragon until it reached the depths then landed on it. It was just a moment the game stuttered.

    There are some narrative issues. I don't think this is a spoiler, but the narrative revolves around you finding Zelda. If you've grown up with the series, you know that's a staple of the franchise.

    I encountered Impa early on, and she sent me on a quest to find all the tears. I have an obsession with unlocking the world map in these open world game before starting the story. It usually results in me reaching max level before I even start the campaign.

    Finding all the tears reveals what happened to Zelda, yet Link still runs around pretending he doesn't know. It's funny but it's still a glazing narrative issue.

    This is minor. In my exploration I also stumbled across the Master Sword without receiving the quest from the Deku tree since I couldn't find the entrance to the Lost Woods. The entrance alluded me until my brother said, "Why do you climb everything." Then my it clicked in my BotW brain.

    I just feel certain reveals could have been held off until certain criteria were met. I know it would complicate the game for some players, but it could have held the narrative a little better.

    All the champions have the same cutscenes. These moments could have been used to expand the narrative.

    This game is almost flawless, but since I can't give it a 9.5, it takes the whole 10.    … Expand

    Forget about all those Fortnite cravers who actually think BOTW and TOTK copied Fortnite even though BOTW came first. Breath of the Wild is definitely an 8, and Tears of the Kingdom improved so much from BOTW which is why I’m giving it a 9. The whole sky, the land, and the underground are huge and it’s truly amazing how the switch that runs like a toaster can actually run this game.

You can do just that! whether you want to walk, ride on horseback or even build your own contraption you will always have a fun, exotic and serene time getting there,    10/10 would recommend.

    It’s story is a return to form after The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, you go to four regions and help the multiple races solve their problems, whether you are soaring into a massive cyclone with Tulin or jumping into the crater of a dormant volcano and in the process discovering a land with a lot of lava pouring down around you.

Contras: companheiros (Sages) com habilidades difíceis de acessar em batalha, framedrop, loot por vezes repetitivo e desgin do templo do fogo cansativo (e por vezes problemático) caso feito da maneira "correta", além de, na minha opinião, muitas shirines sem nenhum desafio dentro delas (apesar de algum desafio fora delas).

    Prós: é um jogo muito superior, em todos os aspectos, que Breath of the Wild. Infelizmente muitos haters estão zerando a nota de maneira pouco objetiva. O jogo é no mínimo 2 vezes maior que o jogo anterior (já com os DLCs), por um aumento marginal no preço. O que esse jogo oferece é algo que poucos jogos na sua vida irá oferecer. É um jogo que merece 10 pois a soma dos seus acertos ultrapassa em muito a de seus erros, quando comparado com os outros jogos. É um jogo divertido, emocionante, cativante, que prenderá por horas e permitirá você fazer a maioria das coisas da maneira que você quer, da forma que quer, mesmo quando parece que você está "roubando".

    BotW version 1.1 It gets 1 point less due to it being the same game released again, and another point off for killing the Zelda series. Zelda is no longer its own entity: it is a generic open world gathery-crafty with a Legend of Zelda skin slapped on.

    To say that I'm disappointed would be a gross understatement.

    To clarify, The Legend of Zelda is my favourite series in gaming and has never failed to impress, move and floor me with every one of the games. This is the very first time I've felt let down. And it hurts. I so desperately want to agree with all of the rave reviews, but I just can't. To me, Tears of the Kingdom is    To say that I'm disappointed would be a gross understatement.

    To clarify, The Legend of Zelda is my favourite series in gaming and has never failed to impress, move and floor me with every one of the games.

    This is the very first time I've felt let down. And it hurts. I so desperately want to agree with all of the rave reviews, but I just can't.

    To me, Tears of the Kingdom is effectively a repurposed Breath of the Wild.

    - There are no fundamental differences with the way this game looks plays or feels. The combat mechanics are untouched and play exactly as they did in BotW (flurry rush and bullet time galore). The fusion mechanic makes the weapons look cooler and adds more longevity to even the weakest of base weapons... but I struggle to care beyond aesthetics when the combat encounters are the exact same mechanically against opponents that are also largely the exact same ones from BotW.

    - The new mechanics are fun to muck around with, particularly "Ascend", however the whole "Ultrahand" vehicle building gimmick never really stuck for me. I only ever engaged with it as a matter of convenience in the overworld, and while the shrine puzzles were mostly well designed, it all felt a bit samey after a while. I understand that this is preference, but when this is the foundation of new mechanics that the game is built around in the stead of actual puzzles akin to the classic titles that made them as fun as they are... I don't see it as a worthy successor.

    - The dungeons themselves are an improvement over the Divine Beasts - however still follow that same formula of do the thing five times then fight the boss. Also, here are the five places you need to go to marked on your map from the get go. It's all so watered down. Half the fun of the old dungeons was navigating, now that's all done for you! At least we've got actual bosses now good god, the Ganon Blights were dismal in BotW.

    - The story is bad. It's a bad story. Not necessarily because of the content, but certainly because of the structure and how it's conveyed to the player. There is absolutely no agency whatsoever as soon as the intro to the game is over. They just do the memory thing again, except this time they aren't even Link's memories and he therefore has no role in the story whatsoever. It's a story that has already happened that the main character isn't involved in that barely affects the game's actual proceedings??? How are we supposed to care? It's so clear that NIntendo didn't want to sacrifice the freedom and wanted to have it both ways, which has resulted in one of the most poorly delivered stories I've ever seen with no weight whatsoever. This is helped in no part thanks to Link's complete lack of characterisation. He is as stiff as he ever was in BotW but at least in the game it was somewhat justifiable as he was a soldier with amnesia. They even had an in game explanation for it. You'd think after years of peace with Zelda he'd have dropped the act just a little. It makes it so embarrassing when scenes are supposed to have weight and he's just standing there looking like he's fresh out of a lobotomy procedure. Agonising to watch. I know he's always been somewhat of a blank slate but come on!

    - Ganondorf, as a result, is a total wasted opportunity. He is hardly in the game at all. Could they not have sacrificed just a smidge of the freedom to provide a sense of stakes, weight and agency to this game?! We already got boundless freedom in BotW, reign it in a bit!

    - The sky and depths definitely exist. They both harbour some great main story stuff, but the remainder of both is just lacklustre. Sky has a load of islands to discover but they all amount to the same thing of just super simple shrine puzzles and then a Rauru's Blessing. The dephs are even worse. A great big giant pit of the same biome strecthed across the enitre map with a whole ton of copy paste enemies and armour from the amiibos. On that note, there is barely any new armour, which is hugely dissapoiting.

    - I don't know some of the new bosses are cool, but there aren't nearly enough. The caves on the surface are cool for a while but most look and play the same. There are barely any new enemy types, hardly matters though because the mechanics are the exact same and aren't conducive to engaging combat. The Map is the same, they've revamped it with different enemy base layouts and way more of them but who cares when it's just the same assets from BotW but more abundant?

    I'm being harsh I know. This isn't a bad game, just one that's disappointed me greatly especially considering the development time. I have had enough of this formula, this franchise needs at least some amount of linearity to work!    … 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.
