    Una experiencia nueva en el mundo de zelda, es un espectacular juego de mundo abierto donde la construcción entra en acción. Su historia es magnífica, de las mejores.

    Better than its predecessor, a huge, epic, very complex game. But it's not for everyone, it's a game that requires hundreds of hours to get everything it offers.

    Additionally the idea that this game is botw 1.5 is ridiculous. First of all its a sequel so it’s going to use existing characters.

I dont want to sound like a broken disc repeating the same thing, but the review bombings are disrespect to everyone who spent their hard working money on the game and actually like it, and the developers themselves VS the people who havent bought the game and havent played it; hating on the game because its 30 fps, $70, and more successful than their game they want to be GOTY (Game of the Year). The game is brilliant and extremely good for those wondering, you get a whole 2 different maps added to the game itself; the depths (underground) and the sky. There are so many more sidequests, shrines and koroks (if you're into that lol) to do in this game. Dungeons- although not the traditional Zelda dungeons everyone was hoping for... are a great experince to this open world game. Fuse, Ascend, and so many more abilites that Nintendo hasn't said publicly is in the game. I really recommend you buy the game... especially the FAKE reviewers, and enjoy it fully in and out! Happy playing Hylians!!… Expand

    The game takes botw and amplifies it by 100. It takes you to from the sky, to a different land, and the massive underground caverns. Combat feels fresh with new atatchments and zonai gadgets that can be fused to items. Creating vehicles is a fun way to get around, and there is much diversity in what you can do with the items to make these vehicles. W game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El juego es espactularmente perfecto, es una obra maestra en todos ámbitos y un juego muy disfutable en mecánicas, cinemáticas e historias.
    Uno pensaba que era imposible mejorar lo insuperable como Breath of the Wild, pero el hecho de continuar y mejorar la trama es simplemente espectacular.
    El juego tiene de todo lo que busques, tiene una historia y trama profunda y oscura en la que se basa el juego, pero el juego al ser no lineal puedes completarlo e ir lo desarrollando de distintas maneras para al final llegar al mismo final. Por no contar con una manera en específica de jugarlo el juego es inmenso no solo en posibilidades sino que también en la manera de vivir lo y de entenderlo.
    El juego no solo tiene un mapa gigante lleno de detalles hasta en el más mínimo árbol, si no que cuantas con otros 2 mapas, el de los cielos y de las islas celestes donde investigas los secretos de los Zonnan y el del subsuelo de donde vienen los monstruos y el villano de la historia.
    El juego tiene una dificultad relativamente alta pero al aprender como usar las habilidades y mecánicas del juego se pueden usar para afrontar la dificultad.
    El juego no se vuelve repetitivo debido a sus detalles, misiones secundarias y la búsqueda de items como todos los ropajes y la semillas kologs, pero que tu puedes ignorar si solo quieres enfocarte en la historia. Puedes irte chetando poco a poco para enfrentarte después de muchas horas a las mazmorras o puedes ir al empezar el juego y valerte de tus habilidades (y aprovecharte de bugs)

    El único punto endeble del juego es su calidad gráfica, que pese a ser de una consola de bajo rendimiento, el juego cuenta con muy buenos gráficos y una cantidad considerable de fps, pero en Nintedo Switch (en su mayoría modo portatil) también se pueden sufrir bajas de frames y a mi me pasaron algunos errores de renderizado.

    El juego es una obra maestra y no se siente para nada como un DLC del botw, tu lo puedes jugar sin conocer nada de Zelda o habiendo jugando todos los juegos y lo vas a disfrutar igual.
    En lo personal siento que el juego marca esta historia como una especie de reboot o nueva Li a temporal a la historia de Zelda así que no siento que sea tan necesario saber el lore, pero aún así recomiendo jugar primero Breath of The Wild y sus dlc, segundo Age of Calamity y por último Tears of The Kingdom.

    El juego es perfecto y sin duda lo puedo considerar como uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en mi vida, y solo lo pondría después de minecraft porque tiene un valor sentimental en mi vida.

Now we have redeads, Like Likes, many types of constructs, underground variants, even the classical enemies have horn variants. There is so much.

    Finally, I want to mention the exploration. In BotW, you were like "Oh, look, a cool mountain!" and you can go there. In TotK, you have just so much around you. You get a main quest but you get sidetracked 15 times before you actually arrive to the location. Imaging you want to go to Rito Village, you hop on your horse and off you go. In front of you is a Malice hole. Then you find an NPC with a quest and suddenly when you finally get back on track a rock falls from the sky waiting for you to recall it.

    You have to play for a long time to be actually able to say that this is the definite version of a Zelda game, it brings back a lot from previous games and still keeps the good feeling of them. The story is incredible and very long, the dungeons are back! You cannot complain this time.

    The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, toma todas las buenas ideas de su predecesor y las utiliza para mejorar aún más el desarrollo del juego, la historia es mucho mejor detallada a diferencia de la de BOTW, además de que la mecánica de construcción está perfectamente diseñada para que cada uno pueda disfrutarlo de la forma que desee.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that deserves every accolade it receives, for it embodies the essence of limitless possibilities and introduces groundbreaking mechanics seldom seen in the realm of video games. This latest installment not only showcases remarkable innovation, but it flawlessly executes these novel features, defying expectations and proving itselfThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that deserves every accolade it receives, for it embodies the essence of limitless possibilities and introduces groundbreaking mechanics seldom seen in the realm of video games. This latest installment not only showcases remarkable innovation, but it flawlessly executes these novel features, defying expectations and proving itself bug-free throughout countless hours of gameplay.

    One of the game's greatest strengths lies in its near-infinite potential for tackling its diverse challenges. The developers have masterfully crafted a world that encourages players to think creatively and adapt to various situations. The choices at our disposal are seemingly boundless, allowing us to approach each hurdle with an unparalleled level of freedom. The depth and breadth of these possibilities are awe-inspiring, leaving players with a sense of astonishment and a thirst for exploration.

    Furthermore, the introduction of new mechanics is a testament to the game's innovative nature. These mechanics not only broaden the horizons of the Zelda franchise, but they also demonstrate a boldness rarely seen in video games. While other titles shy away from implementing such intricate actions due to the potential problems they may create, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fearlessly embraces them. The result is a seamless integration of mechanics that open up thousands of possibilities, enriching the gameplay experience beyond imagination.

    Remarkably, despite the complexity and ambition of the game, not a single bug mars the experience. The attention to detail and the dedication of the development team shine through, as they have meticulously crafted a polished and bug-free adventure. This level of quality is a testament to their commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience, and it ensures that players can immerse themselves fully in the world without any technical distractions.

    While Tears of the Kingdom maintains the beloved aesthetic style of its predecessor, it is the captivating storyline that truly captivates players. Though it adheres to the classic Zelda formula, it manages to surpass expectations, delivering a narrative that not only meets but exceeds even the loftiest of expectations. It strikes the perfect balance between familiarity and innovation, captivating both newcomers and long-time fans alike. The story takes unexpected twists and turns, pulling at our heartstrings and evoking a range of emotions throughout the journey.

    In conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom stands as a testament to the magic of adventure and the boundless potential of video games. Its almost infinite array of possibilities for approaching challenges, combined with groundbreaking mechanics flawlessly implemented, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The absence of any bugs reinforces the dedication and craftsmanship behind this masterpiece.

    Moreover, the game retains the iconic Zelda aesthetic while delivering a story that surpasses expectations, leaving players with a sense of wonder and fulfillment. Tears of the Kingdom is a true gem that enriches the Zelda legacy and sets new standards for the Zelda’s saga.

    P.D. To those who have expressed their opinion about TLoZ: TotK as if it were just an overrated and generic DLC... Perhaps there has been a slight confusion regarding the expectations that were set.

    Let us remember that Tears of the Kingdom is, in fact, a sequel. As such, it builds upon the rich history and gameplay that have characterized the Zelda franchise. We can't expect a sequel to completely reinvent the wheel, can we?

    Now, let's discuss those who believe that the story is too short and that the rest of the content boils down to trivial add-ons. In the Zelda series, there has always been a special magic in exploring environments, unraveling secrets, and immersing oneself in side quests. After all, that's part of the fun! So, perhaps, a little more appreciation is needed for the intricate and holistic nature of the Zelda experience.

    In summary, dear players, I invite you to embrace the essence and charm of Tears of the Kingdom. It is a sequel that builds upon its predecessors, providing a captivating and challenging adventure. So, before judging it as a mere DLC or undermining its content, take a moment to immerse yourself in the world of Hyrule and discover the wonders that await.

    May your future adventures in Tears of the Kingdom be filled with awe and excitement!    … Expand

    Absolutely breathtaking. Better than BOTW in nearly every sense. The world is bigger and better, and while i have just finished the main storyline, I still have hours more to go to find all this game has to offer. My only real complaint is the lack of post game- it uses the same "star profile" system that BOTW uses, which I wasn't a fan of then and feels even more disappointing this time.Absolutely breathtaking.

    Really disappointed. There are few moments where the game feels fresh: the tutorial sky island, first time in the depths, first temple. Beyond that, however, the game feels like a slightly alternate version of botw, as the depths and the sky islands immediately become repetitive and uninteresting. Caves also get repetitive quick. Every time you find a new cave, you know what's in store.Really disappointed. There are few moments where the game feels fresh: the tutorial sky island, first time in the depths, first temple.

    The main thing about botw that I found interesting was the exploration, but that aspect is almost entirely absent from this game, as you know the map already, which is only slightly different.
    Another gripe that I have with the game is that they added a lot of quests, which all feel like chores, e.g. "go talk to this guy, go back, go back to the guy again" or "collect ten frogs". The absence of such quests is what made me like botw, but this game feels much more like a 2010's ubisoft title.

    This game was incredibly hard for me to judge, mostly because this game has everything breath of the wild has and more, and Breath of the Wild to me, was a ten out of ten. At the start of playing this game, if you had asked me what I would give it, I would probably say something like an eight, not too amazing. After completing the final boss, I think I am confortable giving it a 9/10.This game was incredibly hard for me to judge, mostly because this game has everything breath of the wild has and more, and Breath of the Wild to me, was a ten out of ten.

The main criticism I have is for the writing. I think the overall story is fine, zelda games have never had complex stories or characters, but the writing for the dialogue was sometimes jarring for me.

    I am very interested to see the speedrun for this game, because I have no idea what sort of travel method is the most efficient for a speedrun of this game, as far as I know they patched a lot of the bugs that were used in speedruns, and there is no stasis launching. i also felt the bosses were a lot harder in this game and they fixed a lot of the balancing issues that were in Breath of the Wild. Even getting to the final boss is difficult due to how they place enemies, and the heart stealing mechanic makes the final fight incredibly hard without food, armour and lots of hearts.    … Expand

Great opening area, great map in general(they made it fresh despite being the same one from BOTW!), the new gimmicks with fuse and ultrahand would seem ridiculous once upon a time, but they're the natural progression from Breath of the Wild.

    Unfortunately the framerate isn't great, but this isn't really TOTK's fault, it's the Switch's, and the chip shortage likely prevented them from making a Switch pro.

    There are other cons, but they're far outweighed by the pros. I spent like 20 hours on this game in the opening weekend alone, and I could go for much longer. The world is just filled to the brim with so much stuff to do! One of the Switch's best games for sure.

    I see people saying it doesn't deserve the $70 price tag because it looks and runs worse than the other next gen games that are priced for $70, but while graphics ARE Important don't get me wrong, this game justifies it's price tag in other ways. It's definitely worth $10 more than most Switch games priced at $60. Yes, many Switch games are overpriced at even that amount, but many others are plenty worth $60, and TOTK is worth $10 more than those aswell. Fantastic game.    … Expand
