    An Open World Adventure with open combat options, but also now you have an open creativity gameplay.

    Un juego fascinante que tiene muchas formas de terminar sus desafios. Una continuación única no solo en lo jugable sino también en lo narrativo y artístico( sonoro y visual)

    Tears of the Kingdom took everything that made Breath of the Wild great and built upon it in a way that truly exceeded my expectations.

    Firstly, the graphics and overall presentation of the game were stunning. The world was even more immersive and detailed than before, with incredible attention to every little detail, from the intricate character designs to the breathtaking landscapes.

    Firstly, the graphics and overall presentation of the game were stunning. The world was even more immersive and detailed than before, with incredible attention to every little detail, from the intricate character designs to the breathtaking landscapes. The game's soundtrack was also top-notch, with a perfect mix of both new and familiar tracks that perfectly complemented the gameplay.

    Speaking of gameplay, the sequel introduced a range of new mechanics that added a new layer of depth and complexity to the overall experience. The combat system, in particular, was significantly improved, with new abilities and weapons that allowed for more strategic and varied gameplay.

    But what really set this sequel apart from the first game was the storytelling. The plot was even more engaging and emotionally charged than before, with well-written characters and unexpected plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire game.

    Overall, I can confidently say that this sequel is a masterpiece and a shining example of how to improve upon an already great game. If you loved the first game, you absolutely must play this sequel. And even if you're new to the series, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed.    … Expand

    Somehow they took BotW and made it even more open world. The theme of this game should be "Hey, whatever works". The story is great and adds a ton to the already existing Zelda lore and it's fun to see what characters from BotW are doing a few years later.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Breath of the Wild a sauvé ma vie il y a 6 ans je souffrais d'une grave dépression. Que je suis content d'être là pour jouer à ce qui sera pour moi un des meilleurs jeux de ma vie. Il améliore tout ce que Botw faisait déjà de bien dans son level design et corrige ce qui déplaisait aux fans de la license( armes, déplacements etc), mais il ajoute tellement en contenu, je pensais avoir fini le jeu en ayant le même nombre de sanctuaires que dans Botw mais non le jeu est bien plus riche, bien plus vaste, le scénario bien mieux écrit tout en restant du Zelda, les npc sont plus interactifs qu'avant. Le combat final corrige le manque de difficulté et de sensation épique qu'on pouvait reprocher à Botw.
    Pour ce qui est du reste, le gameplay offre tellement au joueur à lui par sa propre imagination de s'approprier son Hyrule. Ce jeu sera mon jardin, un lieu où je me promenerai pour sûr à l'avenir.    … Expand

    Sooo, this game is great, as of writing this review it's been out for 3 days, and it's already my game of the year.
    This game did the impossible, and improved on breath of the wild in every conceivable way, and managed to make breath of the wild look like a glorified proof of concept.
    Do yourself a favour and play this

    Espectacular en cada cada apartado , sorprendente. Tuve mis dudas previo al lanzamiento final pero estoy sin palabras. Cada vez que armo algún objeto es memorable y lleno de diversión.

    Lástima que gente de PS que no comprende realmente lo que significa gameplay venga a hacer reviewbombing. Si no tienen nada a que jugar no vengan a molestar. He visto muchas tears ultimamente =(!!!!

    Além disso, ouvi muito sobre ser o mesmo mapa, mas ele esta totalmente diferente, não acredite nisso, o mapa esta maior e muitas coisas mudaram.

    Amazing game, takes everything that made BOTW awesome and builds on it. You can sink hours into the game technically accomplishing nothing and still have a blast. Only negative is some frame rate issues when using ultra hand( mostly in sky from what I’ve noticed) but not enough to deter from the awesome gameplay or the immense interactive open world

    Absolute best in the entire series. This is such a huge improvement on everything BOTW accomplished and manages to outshine it at almost every opportunity. I continue to be impressed at how much variety and new gameplay there is to find since the prequel.

    A perfect game.... almost. If it wasn't for the aged switch hardware this game would be rated 100 or 101 overall but due to some stuttering when using abilities, it's taken a hit.

    Still it wipes the floor with every other game ever to come out.

Where it takes mechanics from others in the industry, it improves upon them; where it introduces new ones, you slap your forehead in amazement that it hasn’t been done before.

    This game is a masterpiece. It's better than BOTW which till now was my all time favorite game. This game causes you to think, if you're the type of gamer who actually likes to figure out extremely complex puzzles and who enjoys innovative game play mechanics then saddle up and return to Hyrule. Enjoy!

    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.
