    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is phenomenal, it doesn't reinvent the open world formula like Breath of the Wild did, but it does things that no other game has dared to do for over 30 years. Being able to interract with everything in a world full to the brim with things to do and find multiple ways to use every item you come across makes every interraction in the game very rewarding. This game is not perfect, the sage abillities are clunky and not super well thought out and performance drops occasionally, but it still remains at the top of the list of games that do nearly everything right.… Expand

    De los mejores juegos que he jugado, la mayoria del hate a este juego son tonterias por lo que he podido leer, cosas sin sentido que me hacen preguntarme si esa gente realmente lo ha jugado, asi que bajo mi criterio de gordo gamer: este juego es la ostia, no hay mas BTOW al cuadrado y con una buena batalla final. todo lo malo que tenia BTOW este lo arregla y mejora, GOTY 2023 100%.

    The new action is very enjoyable. The deep story and freedom of adventure is very exciting and I'm glad I bought this game. However, sometimes it's a bit annoying to create, I think I prefer Breath of the Wild.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Once again Nintendo has done its thing again, it has given us a practically complete game, a game to beat would be somewhat unfair, it is the first time that I have seen so many mechanics and new experiences that it is amazing, be careful, I do not declare myself a fan of Zelda but after playing this title I have completely fallen in love, for me it is the game of the year 2023... for several reasons. The soundtracks, the cinematics, how you connect with the characters, the new abilities like ultra-hand, combining weapons with objects whether they are consumable or not, infiltrating through the ceilings, that's wild. Ganon's new appearance seems majestic, worthy of a king, it reminds me a lot of Ocarina of Time. I think the symbology is one of the strongest points of this game and once again this title deserves the game of the year.… Expand

    The game is gorgeous and fun. The adds them in this game are a lot of fun. The only problem with this game is the map equal to Breath of the Wild

Llevo jugando mas de 150 horas y aun no he completado ni el 50% de las misiones secundarias, y cada vez que juego siempre hay algo nuevo por descubrir.
    La historia es hermosa, me llevo hasta las lagrimas en el final asombroso que tiene.

    J'ai démarré le jeu un peu craintif, qu'il soit si proche de botw qu'il en devienne décevant, mais le monde s'étend tellement avec de merveilleuses nouveautés, une histoire bien plus développée avec des personnages attachants et beaucoup d'émotions. Je pourrai le recommencer sans attendre !

    Really relaxing environments, huge maps, open world, good history, worth the money, very dynamic playable character, almost give 9 because the power level of some sages was significantly decreased and/or transferred to avatars, it would be more enjoyable if they just lend that power to Link exactly like Rauru's skills and BofW Champions did.

    No sé si este no es un juego para mí pero se me hizo muy aburrido y bastante flojo en muchas mecánicas.
    Quizás algún día le dé una rejugada.

    Sobre o jogo em si, foi reaproveitado da versão de 2017, tanto em gráficos, quanto em jogabilidade e inimigos, porém, a Nintendo aprimorou a forma em que lutamos contra os nossos inimigos com as novas habilidades adquiridas por Link com o seu novo braço concedido por Rauru (Primeiro Rei de Hyrule).

    Com estas novas habilidades, o jogo ficou totalmente mais intuitivo para os jogadores atingirem seus objetivos, quer antingir o topo de uma montanha? ao invés de subir por completo e demorar minutos até chegar ao topo, monte uma construção que possa levá-lo em segundos, isso foi uma sacada genial por parte da Nintendo.

    A história por outro lado, foi na minha visão muito mais bem construida que o jogo de 2017, apresentando figuras mais conhecidas da franquia The Legend of Zelda, como por exemplo o Ganondorf.

    De forma geral, o jogo teve tudo de superior ao Breath of The Wild, usando a criatividade do jogador a todo momento, porém ao meu ver, foi uma construção mais fácil de se fazer e menos inovadora por reaproveitar grande parte dos recursos do jogo anterior.

    Nota final: 9/10

    I mean... okay. This is the sequel of the legendary Zelda BOTW but despite some viral sandbox mechanics it fails to deliver. A great game, but surely not a 10 like its magnificent predecessor.

    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.
