    This is not Botw 1.5. This is a direct sequel..

    This is not dlc. Its a much longer sequel with new bosses, gameplay mechsnics, new story, borderline new everything. If this game is dlc, then idk what counts as DLC anymore to you people.

    It's a perfect game.

    I've played many open world games and this one REALLY nails it. Orcarina of Time blew my mind when it was released and this one has as well.

    Simply put -- it has Renewed my LOVE for GAMING.

    Zelda knocks it out of the park again. Picked this up the other day and haven't been able to put it down. When I do my daughter steals it

    Just the best game ever in my opinion
    You can just do whatever you want for 20 hours straight and after that you have still 1000 Things to do

    I have to say It, it's hard to give a 10 cause this mean we reached the perfection but I have to give It because it deserves for everything, for the music, the story, bossfights and other particularis, onestly it's the real and best sequel I just played for the Legend of Zelda (even my favourite one is Ocarina of Time) but I will give a solid 10!

    El mejor juego de la historia vitaminado
    Dificilmente otro juego te hará sentir la misma libertad, diversión, desafío y sobre todo despertará tu creatividad como este. una joya atemporal que perdurará en las memorias de aquellos afortunados que lo han jugado.

    The game is a masterpiece! Great! When I look at the DLC of God Of War, Sony should be ashamed of themselves.
    Zelda has so much more gameplay than Sony's unimaginative games.

    Es un juegazo, es breath of the wild mejorado, con mejor historia, mejores misiones secundarias y añade nuevas mecánicas. Se puede tomar como un DLC de 70 horas que mejora en todo al anterior, imprescindible si te gustó el primero. Lo único malo que le veo es que si juegas en portátil vas a tener algún que otro bajón de rendimiento, así que lo recomiendo jugar en monitor o televisión siEs un juegazo, es breath of the wild mejorado, con mejor historia, mejores misiones secundarias y añade nuevas mecánicas.

    This game is amazing. Everything with Breath if the Wild people didn’t like was fixed. The dungeons are cooler. There are unique bosses. The world has changed around. The story, cutscenes and animation are beautiful. I’m like 30 hours in right now and I feel like I haven’t scratched the surface. There IS crafting, there is story in memories, and it uses the same world. That being said,This game is amazing. Everything with Breath if the Wild people didn’t like was fixed.

That being said, there’s nothing here I feel repeats so much that you can’t enjoy it. It’s a progression of a story. I enjoy it more than Breath of the Wild. It’s just so good. People wanting a “traditional” Zelda will never be happy with this. So you have switched you need to activate instead of keys… you’re just changing the word from key to switch. BFD. There’s a lot of haters out there, but it’s great. It’s not just DLC. I love it!… Expand

    Tengo años jugando videojuegos y nunca ninguno me hizo sentir como me hizo sentir Breath Of The Wild y Tears of The Kingdom. La experiencia más bonita y completa. Lo estoy disfrutando como aquel niño pequeño que disfruto de su primer juego, que fue el Ocarina Of Time. Simplemente espectacular

    A sequel that improves on it's legendary predecessor in almost every way! As great as BotW is, TotK makes it look like a dress rehearsal for the real show.

    Tears of the Kingdom definitely not only surpasses, but also continues the events of BotW, changing and adding many world layers and interesting mechanics to Hyrule. The story, visuals, music and gameplay are in perfect harmony with each other, embodied in a beautiful living open world that immerses you completely. Worth mentioning great attention to detail.

The soundtrack of Tears of the Kingdom really overwhelmed me, saxophone, piano, violin, everything is beautiful. I decided to get myself a midi-keyboard and take piano lessons because of it :) Want to extract the same beautiful sound on my own. Thank you for this masterpiece, it gave me a lot of inspiration and positive impressions. Will forever remain in the heart as a story.… Expand

    TOTK is a constant reminder that when it comes to playing the important thing is the illusion and imagination. I wish more companies had the courage to face the effort it takes to make games like this. Nintendo definitely makes games for kids... and for adults who want to be kids again, at least for a few hours.

    Adored this game! Adapts upon the flaws of BOTW innovatively, and not by simply removing them.

    If I had a gripe- it would simply be that I wish there was more in the sky, and that the story was less meaty and comprehensive (though still very well written) than that of Age of Calamity, though that admittedly feels like an unfair comparison.    … Expand

    Just play the freaking game, this game is the definition of what a video game is.. just like ocarina of time did in that time. Its the reason why we loved in first place with the thing that we call video games, is a reason to keep playing video games, it reminds you why you started playing video games.. it just has that feeling..

    This is GOTY material, its hard to think that can top it these years.
    Personally, I like that the game holds the same mechanics of exploring the world and added even more new features.
    While playing, I keep dreaming of how this game would look on the next gen console...

    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.
