    เป็นเกมภาคต่อที่ยกเกมเพลย์มาจากภาคก่อนแทบจะทั้งหมด แต่ไปเพิ่มระบบต่างๆให้มากขึ้น โดยรวมแล้วมาตรฐานไม่ได้ตกไปจากภาคก่อนเลย แถมระบบฟิวชั่นยังทำให้เกมสนุกขึ้น สร้างสรรค์ขึ้นอีกต่างหาก แต่ก็มีข้อเสียตรงที่มันอาจจะทำให้เกมง่ายเกินไปด้วย ด้านเนื้อเรื่องก็ถือว่าไม่ได้หวือหวา แต่ก็ไม่ได้แย่ลง ทำให้อยากรู้ว่าภาคต่อไปจะเป็นเรื่องราวแบบไหนเป็นเกมภาคต่อที่ยกเกมเพลย์มาจากภาคก่อนแทบจะทั้งหมด แต่ไปเพิ่มระบบต่างๆให้มากขึ้น โดยรวมแล้วมาตรฐานไม่ได้ตกไปจากภาคก่อนเลย แถมระบบฟิวชั่นยังทำให้เกมสนุกขึ้น สร้างสรรค์ขึ้นอีกต่างหาก แต่ก็มีข้อเสียตรงที่มันอาจจะทำให้เกมง่ายเกินไปด้วย ด้านเนื้อเรื่องก็ถือว่าไม่ได้หวือหวา แต่ก็ไม่ได้แย่ลง ทำให้อยากรู้ว่าภาคต่อไปจะเป็นเรื่องราวแบบไหน

    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.

    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.

    The game is a masterpiece. But if you didn't like botw there's no way around it, this is more of the same but multiplied by 3 and harder (the new mechanics are less accesible to newcomers than in botw)

The world is a joy to explore wih secrets, side quests, armor, weapons and tons more literally everywhere. I cant understand how people claim that the map is basically the same, since the map is at least 2x the size of breath of the wild (i guess people just dont play past 5 hours of gameplay). Even the old locations have changed enough, so that they feel just as fresh to explore as in breath of the wild.
    The new abilities, allowing you to fuse weapons together and create wild contraptions, are absolutely amazing. Youll spend douzens of hours just building weird vehicles, from simple cars to bomber aircrafts. Fusing materials to weapons also fixes the durability issues of botw and greatly rewards fighting monster camps.
    Shrines have returnted, though they are much more fun and more challenging than in the prequel. The divine beasts have been replaced by bigger, better and way more fun dungeons including actuall bosses instead of just mini ganons.
    In my 100+ hours of playtime ive not once experienced a bug and glitch. sadly the game isnt as stable in the framerate: The already low 30fps drop decently frequently, though its not as bad as some people will make it seem. Besides, it is a miracle the genius devs managed to make the game run on the switch in the first place.
    dont let the (relatively) low user score fool you, a lot of the 5/10 reviews describe the game as 10/10
    (i guess they thought it was 5/5).
    For any switch users it is a must buy, for those who loved botw it will likely be the best game of all time. It took me over 60 hours to beat the game and 100% is looking like far over 300 hours.

    BUYYYY ITTTTT!!!!

    Tears of the Kingdom took what Breath of the Wild established and absolutely blew it out of the water.

The world is brimming with fun and exciting things to discover, every single side quest feels as though it had been hand crafted, characters acknowledging small things that you do, such as wearing specific sets of armour, make the world feel alive and the journey from leaving the Great Sky Island up to the final battle is one of the most engaging, exhilarating experiences I've had in a game. It took me 100 hours to complete every shrine, do all the side quests I felt I wanted to and take down the final boss and honestly, it felt like every minute spent in this iteration of Hyrule was time well spent.
    Bosses and Dungeons this time around, when compared to what was seen in Breath of the Wild, are also a significant improvement. While still not necessarily on par with the likes of what is seen in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, the amount of creativity these new Dungeons allow for when traversing and the ways you have to engage with each boss differently still makes them a joy to overcome.

    I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to experience an epic adventure on a legendary scale.

    El juego está enorme. Las posibilidades son muchísimas, los agregados al mapa base de BOTW son tantos que la exploración está a otro nivel y la historia tiene mas presencia en el juego a diferencia del anterior.

    El juego está enorme. Las posibilidades son muchísimas, los agregados al mapa base de BOTW son tantos que la exploración está a otro nivel y la historia tiene mas presencia en el juego a diferencia del anterior.

    En cuanto a la experiencia gráfica, creo que está igual que el anterior, pero a mi BOTW me parece muy muy bonito y es un diseño artístico que, si o si, hubiera dejado en una secuela. Simplemente es igual o tal vez mejor considerando los mapas del cielo y el subsuelo, y cada uno tiene sus diseños e iluminaciones distintas a las del mapa base. El rendimiento también es igual. Un rendimiento mediano, que a veces tiene sus carencias.

    Las mecánicas diferencian este juego del BOTW. Ambos juegos son muy parecidos (obviamente) pero se juegan distinto. Considero que éste juego es más difícil en su gameplay y así mismo, es mas amplio; cabe mencionar que hay ciertos elementos y mecánicas que extraño de BOTW, pero son cosas que me hacen recordar constantemente que estoy jugando otro juego y no otra vez BOTW con otro título en la portada.
    La historia desde un inicio tiene presencia. Si bien, reconozco y le adjudico un "Pero" al juego, por inconsistencias en la historia y haber recurrido a ciertas modalidades del juego anterior, tambien he de decir que la historia se siente que ocurre dentro del juego y no en el pasado como en BOTW, (que no es malo pero pudo ser mejor empleada).

    Nintendo recurrió a ciertas formas de contar la historia como lo hizo en el juego anterior, pero creo que acá supo emplearlas un poco mejor y hace que el argumento se sienta mejor contado. Te cuentan la historia de una forma mas tradicional y consistente en vez de solo cinemáticas puntuales y cinemáticas en formas de recuerdos (Por supuesto que hay cinemáticas como en el juego anterior pero son más largas, y también hay más escenas dentro del gameplay(sin voces). BOTW se caracterizó por contar la historia a través de recuerdos y los diarios de los personajes mas importantes, y este elemento permanece pero, personalmente, sentí como si el juego me contara la historia de una forma un poco más práctica y directa.

    No creo que la conclusión sea que TOTK es mejor que BOTW, realmente creo que es otra manera de jugar el zelda visto en BOTW.

    At first I thought this was gonna be just Botw with just new mechanics like the people in comments seem to mention( its too obvious they didnt play either games properly lmao) They revamped nearly each area topography, made over 80 side adventures which are chain side quests + over 180 side quests, they made 152 shrines with actually interesting stuff than botw, a whole underground areaAt first I thought this was gonna be just Botw with just new mechanics like the people in comments seem to mention( its too obvious they didnt play either games properly lmao) They revamped nearly each area topography, made over 80 side adventures which are chain side quests + over 180 side quests, they made 152 shrines with actually interesting stuff than botw, a whole underground area with full of hard monsters and a lot of loot. 380+ caves and nearly same amount of wells. They upped their game on dungeons and gave us 4 main dungeons + 1 optional dungeon in endgame. Increased enemy types so much and varied and they actually make us use all game mechanics connected to each other.

    Some people will complain about the 1080p 30fps with dipping situation but lets face the fact that this game running on switch is like a miracle considering they made seamless transition between sky ground and depths + they made loading screens shorter. And the framedrop situation isn't because developers are lazy but they are stuck with an old console. So idk if that should actually affect the "game"s score when its not even games fault.

Los nuevos santuarios si se sienten como mazmorras, arreglando uno de los pocos problemas que tenía BOTW.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is an awesome game, I am so far only on the first dungeon, but it is a vast improvement on Breath of the Wild, and that is one of the best games that was ever made. For example, it sort of added crafting mechanics, which players have always been asking for in Botw. It also made the return of traditional more themed dungeons, this makes it a lot more fun, I also quite enjoyed getting to use the champions decedents, and I was positively surprised at how useful they were, like it wasn't just there for the decor, it was actually fighting, and the ability that I got to use so far was very helpful. Finally, I really like the 4 abilities that I have unlocked so far (recall, ascend, fuse, and ultrahand), they are a ton of fun to play with, and it adds a creative aspect to the game. Furthermore, combining all four abilities makes it incredibly good, especially for traversing the land, which, contrary to what some people may want you to believe, was vastly expended, with a vast underground, and a lot of sky traversal. In conclusion, it is an awesome game, and it is totally worth the price! Expand

After watching all the trailers I still had my doubts, in spite of the fact that I've been a Zelda gamer since the early years of my life. Enjoying something does not mean that one has to be a fanatic nor an unconditional lover. Remaining unbiased, rational and always doubting about things in order the know the truth and experiencing by yourself is part of being objective, is the basis of the scientific method and after having gone through this process, all my doubts have been cleared. Zelda TOTK has plenty of distinctive and innovative new implementations, mechanics, story changes and even philosophy reinterpretation in order to change the meta-vision of the game in a spiritual way (the zonai culture) rather than a technological way (the sheikah conception of the world) that make this game not just very different to BOTW but rather unique and even better, more complex and entertaining that its prequel.

    Congratulations to Nintendo and to all the gamers and developers, regardless of the platform, we should all be proud of achieving this level of narrative, game mechanics, game scale and uniqueness in experience as part of the human technical, philosophical and artistical way of expression. This game, together with some other great games, is a reason to be proud as gamers and as humans, this is not a competition, we as a race are every year pushing our boundaries in many areas with original works such as this one. We all should be happy. Go and grab a copy and celebrate with me!

Tears of the Kingdom is a perfection of that risky engine with a polished sheen that (necessarily) outshines its brilliant predecessor in nearly every capacity. Odds are, if you played Breath of the Wild and enjoyed the adventure but had some qualms about it, Tears of the Kingdom addresses your misgivings innovatively and delivers more than is asked for. It has unique puzzle-solving mechanics, a gorgeous art direction, a fantastic soundtrack, and an enormous map that manages to stay thoroughly engaging despite its size.

    A central idea behind Breath of the Wild was that you, the player, have the freedom to avoid anything you don't personally find fun. If the game offers you something that doesn't tickle your fancy, it is almost certainly completely optional. Tears of the Kingdom also believes this philosophy and provides hundreds of hours of content for you to decide what it is you find fun and to jump all the way into that. Fan of exploration? This is your game. Prefer side quests? Plenty of those too. Rather spend your time fighting enemies? Combat is diverse, satisfying, and engaging. Want to enjoy a story that rewards fans of the series? It has that too. Pretty much anything you could ask for in a video game can be found in Tears of the Kingdom without looking too far.

    There are essentially 3 types of people who won't like this game: people who don't enjoy games with an encumbrance of freedom, classic Zelda fans who want the series to return to its roots, and people who find its admittedly unorthodox control scheme too tedious to adjust to. If you are one of these people, you probably will still find lots to enjoy during a playthrough, but you'll see the reviews and think it is undeserving of its inordinately high praise. To that end, I think an objective viewer of this game's merits would come to the same conclusion many of us have which is that Tears of the Kingdom delivers extreme quality despite personal preferences.

    It's worth mentioning that whether the game is worth $70 or required its full 6-year development time is irrelevant in terms of reviewing its quality. As a finished piece of art isolated from outside considerations, this game is as good as it gets.

Especially when it was announced that the same map would be used. However after booting up my pre-release on Friday, I can say that these fears and anxiety have not just been quelled, but replaced with a greedy curiosity to explore every nook and cranny. The new skills and features of the game have a sense of magic about them, something you can only experience if you perform it yourself. Even after 8 hours of gameplay, I still haven't even left the "tutorial area" of the game which is called a sky island but feels more like a sky dungeon, and I love it for that. It's obvious that Tears of the kingdom shares many elements of breath of the wild, and that's no secret as that's what was literally stated, but unless you have a major issue with that, I would not let that be a deterrent. There is no end to what you can do or experiment with. Materials also feel much more useful instead of lying useless in your inventory. Item diversity feels more fleshed out and fun. The crafting aspect in this game makes it feel like anything is possible. All of these elements come together to capture and recreate that wondrous feeling experienced when playing breath of the wild. So if tears of the kingdom has copied anything from breath of the wild, it would be the concept of being a masterpiece. Expand
