    As a Legend of Zelda series fan, I just loved the game. It was amazing, fulfilled all my expectations and even more. I believe that Tears of the Kingdom is perfect for any player. The experience, playing Totk, was unforgetable.

    Excellent game! there’s so many things to do compared to the prequel, and Link’s new skill set is fun, refreshing and very interesting; you can do almost everything you want to!

    Only downside is i wish you could build larger things, and that the house you custom build allowed you to use more than 15 blocks, but other than that, everything is great!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tears of the kingdom is a beautiful game. Its sandbox like creativity makes the game extremely fun, and allows puzzle solving to be less restricted and gives the player a sense of freedom. The cutscenes, side quests and boss battles are perfected. Not only that but the brand new addition of the depths and sky islands add for a lot more content, and pushes the shrine counter from 120 in its predecessor Breath of the Wild to a whopping 155. Its stunning views and unique environments offer a great experience for the user. Expand

    It takes what breath of the wild does and makes it better. The game is jam packed with things to do and with new abilities comes new puzzles.

    I have only touched the surface of what this game is but from what i have done, it is so much of an improvement to what was already a great game

    Desde 2011, na apresentação da Tech Demo de Zelda na apresentação do Wii U ficávamos imaginando o quão épico seria um novo Zelda em HD. Mal sabíamos que The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild era uma Tech Demo para The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

    Desde 2011, na apresentação da Tech Demo de Zelda na apresentação do Wii U ficávamos imaginando o quão épico seria um novo Zelda em HD. Mal sabíamos que The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild era uma Tech Demo para The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.


    Tinha receio de como seria uma continuação do melhor jogo que já joguei. As poucas imagens e trailers divulgadas me deixaram curioso, varias perguntas para saber como seria a história, gameplay, visual. De qualquer forma, eu só queria jogar. 


    E desde o primeiro toque no jogo não parei de jogar. Estava totalmente imerso ao jogo. As novas mecânicas, a história do jogo e a mesma sensação de liberdade que senti em Breath of the Wild.


    Desde o início do jogo somos jogados a imensidão de Hyrule, porém dessa vez Hyrule está maior. É o mesmo mapa, porém, conseguimos observar no horizonte mais e mais lugares para explorar. Incrível a sensação de exploração e querer saber o que tem em cada canto do mapa, e conversar com os NPCs e ver como eles estão após Breath of the Wild e também, conhecer novos habitantes de Hyrule. 


    É sensacional como o jogo recria e exercita sua criatividade. O que você constrói deixa você maravilhado pelo jogo. Me via jogando e parando para construir algo que me dava na cabeça, um carro para ir mais rápido a outro local, subir uma montanha gigante sem ser escalando ou apenas construir algo sem sentido.


    Assim como Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom é gigantesco, grandioso, excessivo e imenso. Pega todas as qualidades de Breath of the Wild e soma, multiplica e potencializa o mundo de Hyrule. E isso vale para tudo no jogo; o mapa que foi expansível verticalmente, os velhos e novos inimigos, os novos itens, novas comidas, novos pratos, novas armas, novos NPCs e muito mais. É tudo tão novo e o mesmo tempo tão ligado a Breath of the Wild, que parece que você esta visitando uma cidade 6 anos depois de uma primeira visita que te marcou muito.


    Da mesma forma que, Breath of the Wild mudou a fórmula de mundo aberto, Tears of the Kingdom mudou a fórmula de Breath of the Wild. Portanto, eu vejo como o Game Of The Year de 2023, e não é uma continuação qualquer, uma sequência que decepciona, é um jogo totalmente novo, um jogo que prende do início ao fim para saber, criar, explorar e descobrir.

    This is the most creative adventure game I've ever played. The depth of the gameplay and the feeling of accomplishment when you figure something out in your own custom way is unmatched. It truly makes you feel like you invented the solution to the puzzles yourself.

    The powers are better than BotW and each challenge you encounter perfectly forces you to learn how to use them on your own.

    The powers are better than BotW and each challenge you encounter perfectly forces you to learn how to use them on your own. There are more kinds of things to explore like caves and wells. There are some familiar items and enemies but also many new ones, especially in the sky and deep underground. The map is NOT the same! There are three maps! One for ground, one for sky, and one for deep underground where it's completely dark and all connected. The sky puzzles are amazing! The ground map has the same regions as BotW but they are different this time around. And the deep underground is done very well with the light sources that you can use to light the darkness.

    Many things have been upgraded and improved or expanded upon. I haven't had this much fun playing a game in... I don't know, because this game is such a unique feeling of creativity mixed with Nintendo's highest quality design, its like I'm playing the first of a new genre. I think this is my first metacritic review. I just had to stand up for how amazing this game really is. It kind of like Legos and everybody loves Legos. Don't listen to these miserable people, this game is a must play. Relax and have fun. A new kind of great open world game is here. :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played a bunch of Zelda games over the years, and going in blind to BOTW was truly the pinnacle of it all. For those first few moments, and throughout the rest of the game, it was an absolute gem of an experience, a Diamond being the gem. It’s the standard games SHOULD value, take time to make a game to its absolute best potential. Granted, I see pros AND cons. Dungeons were lackluster, bosses exactly the same, and the world did feel a bit more empty. But it was one of the cases where, hype aside, the good outweighed the bad in such a tremendous and spectacular way. Climbing up that hill to see all of Hyrule still hits me even to this day.

    Tears of the Kingdom is, to me, an INCREDIBLE successor!! Taking the criticisms of BOTW, and following up on that exponentially. Dungeons, while small, ARE present, and the Allies mechanic is a treat! New abilities to help world traversal, the vehicles being so expansive on what you can and can’t do. It’s truly imagination beyond itself, and the way they somehow made hyrule feel fresh (while still being familiar), is astounding. Granted, a LOT of people here complain about the graphics, YES we get it the hardware is not next Gen. But the $70 was NOT for a graphical upgrade, but rather an expanded experience. I’ve only just began and I’m already at like 18 hours, and I’ve yet to scratch a tiny bit of the surface. Beat a dungeon and boss, all that good stuff.

    Point is, BOTW was Nintendo running an experiment, and Tears of the Kingdom was Nintendo being fully confident in what they could produce!

After playing for about 30 hours I can say for sure that's not the case. We get the old map with some additions, and the sky islands like we saw in the trailers. (Don't read further if you consider a location to be a spoiler) The thing that truly changes the map is the depths. It as as big as the first game's map, and is is completely different. Honestly they could have had the depths as the only map in the game (So long as they added towns to it, which I haven't found in it so far, but I have found a shop), and less people would've complained compared to now. The fact this was never talked about in the marketing is kinda crazy to me.

    The fuse mechanic and Ultrahand are truly amazing. I don't want to talk about them too much, as I feel the joy of thinking "Will this work?" and finding out it does is too great. What I will say is that the fuse mechanic can be used for traversal, not just combat. This is a mistake I've seen some people make. Thinking Ultrahand is for traversal, while fuse is for combat, when in actuality you can use both for both.

In addition, there are many completely new areas like the sky islands and the depths that you can explore for tens of hours alone. I also enjoy the new abilities since they can interact with the world even more than BOTWs abilities could and give you even more space for creativity. Most of my expectations for this game have been outdone by the zelda team. Out of 100 I would give this game 95-97 since my main grudge with it and its prequel, the weapon breaking system, hasnt been addressed the way i was hoping for. Still i can see this being one of the games people are going to remember fondly for many years. Expand

    Breath of the wild has completely turned the saga upside down, a great fresh blow that has divided the purist of the saga but has also been a huge success. The wait was huge, 6 years later. Well the fans of the saga and even the others will be satisfied! Nintendo offers us a marvel, a masterpiece! A much improved breath of the wild base, for this sequel that will break all records!

    Los graficos no son la gran cosa pero el juego sabe perfectamente esto y se apoya micho en su excepcional apartado artístico el cual es sinceramente hermoso
    Musicalmente es igual o incluso superior a su precuela lo cual es un enorme logro
    Este juego es sinónimo de pura libertad
    El mundo puede parecer a ojos de gente simple vacio
    Pero una cez lo empiezas a explorar te podrias llegar a abrumar del exagero numero de ocsas para hacer
    Desde los famosos kolog que viene con nuevos retos a incluso misiones donde salvamos a los hylianos de los mounstros y los ayudamos en diversas situaciones.
    Una de mis cosas favoritas fue ver los cambios al mapa comparandolo con su antecesor
    Nintento nos presenta un mapa que por diversas sircunstancias se ha vista en muchos cambios
    Entre esos cambios se encuentran los resultados de nuestra anterior interaccion en el juego anterior
    Es muy satisfactorio ver que todas las cosas en que nos vimos envueltos en breath of the wild se ven reflejadas en tears of the kingdom
    Por ultimo eh de señalar unos oequeños bajones de frames que para ser sincero son casi imperciptibles

    Loved the fact that I get to return to Hyrule in this new way with all the added stuff. The original was amazing for how it allowed us to break and use its own game physics to do crazy things. This is just that on steroids and so much fun. Also love how this was a direct sequel to botw. If there was ever a Link and Zelda I wanted to see "what happened after" for, it was these two.

    I don even have enough characters here to adequately address all of this game issues so I try to sum it up.

    Nintendo somehow managed to make TotK even worse than BotW, which in of itself is a feat though. At least it looks good... for a Switch game. So I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! If you really feel you have to buy it don't pay 70$ for it, better spend that money on the lottery or so.

If you really feel you have to buy it don't pay 70$ for it, better spend that money on the lottery or so. Depending on condition you shouldn't spend more than 50-55$ on this atrocity. It's just the same game, same problems but different name. Sadly TotK only contains the same core problems of BotW with new, fancy mechanics that are actually useless where it counts (more on that below) instead of actually addressing the customers wish and solving the problems. It was pretty much to be expected. Nintendo doesn't care about their customers as long as they buy their s*it I guess that's just everywhere in capitalism but it dissapoints. The last GOOD (3D) Zelda (not counting remakes and HD remasters) is now over a decade old (I'm talking Twilight Princess).

    Now, let's go down the list, shall we?
    1. Questmarker still only show the quest giver not the objective/objective area causing you to be lost more often.
    2. Until late in the game when you have maxed out armor enemies will easily kill you in a few hits and they like to swarm you making it more unlikely you life. That enemies get substitute with stronger color swaps and equipment as you progress will assure you will keep on dying.
    3. Speaking of Equipment, the game still ruins the fun with the durability system who just discourages the player to interact with anything moving (like 5 times as bad as BotW as you'll learn if you read more) and it's a 5 year old game from basically 2 Gens ago (since I wouldn't really call the Switch last gen on a technical level). There is ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD REASON TO NOT GIVE OUT AT LEAST WEAK BASE EQUIPMENT TO THE PLAYER THAT DOESN'T BREAK OR NEEDS RECHARGING so players aren't left hanging if an enemy needs more hits than the weapons currently on you can take. Sure you can use "Fuse" to get SLIGHTLY stronger weapons but since you can't fuse Melee weapons or Shields with anything from the inventory directly and always have to first put down the material then fuse, it is pointless in active battle once the strengthening parts break off. Heck, even your Shield is as good as useless because enemies just hit through it when you hold it up, as if it wasn't even there, no matter what kind of weapon they use.
    4. This time it's 150 shrines aka puzzle rooms and 1000 Koroks to find and you need 400 something to max out slots.
    5. Then even with about 6 years passed in-game almost no one remembers the Hero who ended the apocalypse?! Attracting new players? If you do a direct sequel you do it for the fans it already has not to attract new players. Otherwise you only piss off the fans and won't get many new faces that haven't come with the first game.
    6. World is still big and mostly empty with more pointless empty space filled by the Sky Islands that are even more annoying to get from place to place since they are not connected in any way, shape or from to navigate other then gliding. Even less is going on in the depths asides endless darkness and a couple of extra bosses. The land of Hyrule in TotK is 80% monotonous, repetitive, filler landscape. What makes TotK worse than BotW in that regard is the depths itself are like 95% filler land because the few "dungeons" in it could easily be handled in a contained room and would save you the boring walking into them and the Sky Islands are also so much filler landscape. BotW/TotK has the BIGGEST YET MOST BORING DESIGNED HYRULE WORLDMAP since the later eighties where old ass, 8bit NES debut of the IP was. Further you still don't really want to explore the world for prices or discoveries because in most cases, you waste more resources than you get back. You won't even get a sense of accomplishing if you still choose doing so.
    7. Before I forget, what's with that stupid money and material grind?! The franchise IS SUPPOSED to be fun exploration and unique puzzle solving, not a monotones drag of money and material grind. You LITERALLY ARE FORCED TO save-scum because material drop rate is so absurdly low.
    8. We still only get puzzle rooms and mini-dungeons for the story. At least bosses are much cooler this time around.
    9. From my 370 hours when seeing the credits, most was spent traversing boring landscape and searching for ANYTHING interesting, even knowing the general area and only 15 hours actual game.

    Really though, DON'T BUY THIS TRASH HEAP OF PROGRAM CODE FOR FULL PRICE, because YOU WILL REGRET IT. I can't believe I made it through the whole game, though there was NO WAY I tried to do it by my own exploration without Internet help. It's just too much of a torment to play the game and try to find everything or just the bare minimum to reasonably get through yourself.
