    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game. I can’t believe we live in a time where people are so butt hurt about some stupid console war BS, they would stoop low to review bomb. Nothing but W’s. Hyrule feels different even tho it’s the same over world, and the new sky and underground worlds are insane!!! Expand

    As an OG BOTW player who has spent over 300 hours on the game, I’d say Nintendo has done it again and have a created a new and yet slightly familiar world that has done nothing other than overwhelm me with the amount of new content everywhere I look. 10/10

    All the best of Breath of the Wild with some quality of life fixes. Would've been nice if we could manually remap controller buttons, but oh well.

    The construction mechanic is surprisingly fun. I was expecting to be annoyed by it, but nah I actually really enjoy being able to have at it with the various pieces of technology and being able to tie them together with Ultrahand. Clearly
    All the best of Breath of the Wild with some quality of life fixes. Would've been nice if we could manually remap controller buttons, but oh well.

    The construction mechanic is surprisingly fun. I was expecting to be annoyed by it, but nah I actually really enjoy being able to have at it with the various pieces of technology and being able to tie them together with Ultrahand. Clearly Nintendo saw the crazy construction videos from BotW and decided to give people more to work with.

    The weapons breakage does get annoying, and I'm much less likely to get into combat with it. Maybe if the master sword is similar to BotW once I get it back (I assume I will?), I can use that for combat and mining. Also need to figure out the best ways to farm rupees, as I want to get cold weather armour (done) and hot weather armour (not yet done) and start upgrading the pieces.

    Anyway tho putting lots of time into the game, Nintendo knows its audience, and I'm apparently part of their target group. Am about thirty shrines in with the entire surface map unlocked, so it's time to start progressing the main story with a decent number of hearts.

    Highly recommend to those who loved Breath of the Wild. Others, well, maybe try that one first.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un juego que te deja sin palabras... Para los que ya estamos relacionados a los juegos de Zelda vemos como muchas mecánicas o referencias se encuentran.
    Aunque el juego no tiene una diferencia como los demás ya que si vemos que hay diferencias en todo de Twiligth Princess a Skyward Sword y en este no hay muchos cambios gráficos de su antecesor, logra compensar esa falta de innovación con la cantidad monstruosa de otras cosas innovadoras, es la secuela perfecta, un mundo completamente libre como ya habíamos visto pero ahora Hyrule se siente distinto en todo, la implementación del subsuelo hace que el juego se sienta inmenso, tardas horas en ir de un punto a otro y si bien ya hay mucho juegos similares como Elden Ring, créeme que Tears of the Kingdom es algo que te hará sentir una nueva sensación si eres fan de los mundo abierto.

    I recognize there's room for difference of opinion here, but I'm with the majority that love the new puzzle dynamics of Tears of the Kingdom. It's like the Incredible Toon Machine and Portal had a baby.

    Is it different from the traditional, linear Zelda games? Yes, definitely. BOTW and TOTK build on the open-world dynamics of Wind Waker and the original Legend of Zelda, with survival

    Is it different from the traditional, linear Zelda games? Yes, definitely. BOTW and TOTK build on the open-world dynamics of Wind Waker and the original Legend of Zelda, with survival elements, and by expanding the collection theme we've seen in some games. I understand why some fans of the traditional model feel betrayed and confused by the new games' popularity.

    But I loved the old games, and I love the new ones, too. The puzzles, the graphics, the story—all of it!

    This game is incredible, from the sky, to the ground, to the depths, it is an adventure with all kinds of mystery’s to unravel.
    The story begins with a gripping search for the source of a mist that has sickened many people of Hyrule. You are pulled into it and it seems as if you are there. As the story unfolds, you are pulled into it and do not want to put the game down. You are stuck on the story, the mechanics, and the map. You surely will enjoy this game, and I would recommend it to anyone. It is a Game Of The Year contender, and the bar has been set high, very high.

    Questão Graficos, para quem joga Zelda a muito tempo, sabe que graficos não definem o quanto você pode se divertir em um jogo, mas se você está acostumado com graficos ultra realistas de PS5, XBOX e etc. vai sentir uma estranheza, porem nada que não dê pra se adaptar.
    Joguei o jogo no switch V1 e foram poucos momentos que tive queda de FPS, porem não atrapalhou em NADA na gameplay.

    However, the shrines end before their unique puzzles can really develop, and the sky islands, which where marketed as the most important addition to TOTK, feel more like gimmicks. The only incentives are shrines, chests, and a couple of other things. The UNDERGROUND, which was barely advertised, is more fleshed out than the sky islands.

    Overall, a few problems, but still, an amazing experience, TOTK is, in my opinion, the closest we have gotten so far to a perfect video game.

They broke the Zelda BotW barrier of freedom that I didn't even think could improve, and in Zelda TotK they improved EVERYTHING!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tears of the Kingdom was an amazing game, I originally had my doubts about it being a rehash, but with the new Storytelling through Dragontears and modern story arcs. Especially Zelda becoming (and then unbecoming) a damn dragon just to restore the Master Sword is awe inspiring. The Story had me in tears (haha) multiple times for multiple reasons, that's basis for a GOTY in itself.

    But the gameplay, oh good God the gameplay was amazing. I could create a freaking tank if I wanted to. One time I couldn't get past the monsters at Fort Hateno, and so I created my "Oh **** Wagon" which was a wagon with walls a roof, and fans. I charged the camp, lit on fire, and escaped on low health laughing the whole time. Yes my design failed, but it also succeeded at the same time, and gave me a good laugh. That's what the gameplay of Tears of the Kingdom does, it makes you laugh, it makes you feel clever, it makes you entertained and wonder "what can I do next?" That's beautiful game design.

    All in all, with Gameplay as good as this, Story as good as this, and Graphics as good as the Switch allows. Tears of the Kingdom runs well, and is such a blast to play. I look forward to November, when I watch this game take it's Game of the Year crown, just like it's predecessor.

The only negative i can think of is the hardware, it is an absolute miracle that a game with a map over twice the size of Elden ring's can run on the Nintendo switch.

    This game offers the pinnacle of open world design with a soundtrack and spectacle that will leave you in awe for years to come. Within the first two weeks this game stole well over 100 hours of my time, as well as my spot for the greatest game of all time. Truly the experience of a lifetime

    This game is simply amazing, the story is much more interesting than botw, the world feels denser, the abilities are freaking incredibly fun to use, every puzle can be solved in many different ways if you think enough of it, It's not just the same game again, it's a brand new experience, definitely recommend

    TOTK is a fantastic game carrying on over from BOTW. The game introduces new and amazing mechanics with more enemies and even new places to explore. Sky islands and the Depths really brings out the genre "adventure" that this game holds. What started as a DLC ended up being a wonderful adventure game with a rich story.

    Breath of the wild was a good game, but it didn't quite surpass Ocarina of Time.

    TOTK is a MASTERPIECE. It fully surpasses every Zelda game ever made. It's one of the only games I've played in my 30s that I can say is not only game of the year, but one is the greatest ever made.

    Good things:
    The powers

    The subworld and the sky's islands

    The history

    All the things you can build with the ultra hand

    The hours you can put on this game even if it's your first Zelda's game

    The good use of the music

    The bad things:

    Hard if you don't know how does botw worked

    The same map of botw

    Can be hard to understand the history

    Breath of the Wild was a very good game but with a side of flaws. Tears of the Kingdom fixes most of these flaws and turns them into some of the most amazing experiences.

    Story
    The story had a huge improvement since BoTW. The story is much more engaging with all the characters. Not just the main characters but alot of the NPCs and the environment is engaged with whats happening in each area and how our hero Link will solve it. The story is not mind boggling and still needs improvement because it is very predictable, it can be better in alot of ways but this is miles better than what we had in BoTW.

    NPCs are alot more aware of their surroundings and everything that Link does. Enemies now work together instead of fighting Link one after another. BoTW had very well scripted enemy behaviour outside and inside combat but ToTK reuses all of it and magnifies everything. Even after hours of playing enemies shows unique behaviour that still amazes me.

    Weapons, Durability and Fuse ability
    I wish it had more variety with weapon types such as dual wield, katanas, daggers, etc. You can technically turn a sword into a scythe or a claymore into a sledgehammer with the new fuse ability but at the end of the day its still a "sword" or a "claymore". The weapon durability is still here but im all for it. I believe weapon durability is an essential part for a vast open world game like ToTK. Having weapons break means you have strategise and use different types of weapons with different properties. This was a problem in BoTW though because weapons broke often and it was simply just not worth killing monsters knowing it will take off durability and offering close to nothing in return. In ToTK, ALL enemies drop something that is useful, yes all of them in my experience. All of them have a scenario where it can be used for something such as fusing, using them while making Zonai devices, quests, combat and much more. This creates an incentive to fight monsters unlike BoTW where ignoring them were a better option.

    Shrines
    They are mostly the same with the same formula but this time the puzzles are much more open ended where there are unlimited solutions to one puzzle in most of the shrines. They basically give you infinite tools to work your way out and however YOU want to complete it. This makes shrines much more enjoyable and not just a chore to complete.

    Side quests are a HUGE improvement. I never bothered to finish or do most of the side quests in BoTW unless it was a shrine quest. They gave little rewards with uninteresting stories and were hardly worth it, ToTK changes it by making the rewards very useful and very dependable by strategically placing them in areas where you need those rewards the most along with the addition of new materials and improvement to the stories in the side quests they have become very fun and you will never get tired of doing them and it wont feel like a chore.

    Exploration
    BoTW had remarkable exploration which was praised by many but ToTK compressed alot more things in its world and makes it much more dense. Every corner or direction you look, there is going to be something you can do or something that will catch your eye whether it be caves, shrines, NPCs, monsters and much much more. I was never in a situation where I didn't know what to do or felt like i had nothing to do. This couples with the creativity and the infinite amount of solutions available to you to do these things which makes this game incredible by exploration alone.

    Issues with ToTK
    Frame rate drops in certain areas but this is entirely Nintendos fault for not innovating. The switch does not need to change, its hybrid feature is good enough that can stay alive forever, we just need better hardware that can at the very least guarantee us 60 FPS. The game is still beautiful but this is kind of an insult to the devs who put such great care and work into the game.
    The story was thrilling and better than BoTW its still very predictable and the way you have to watch memories is too similar to BoTW, I wish link was actually in the story while it happened or make a story be like so. Nonetheless I still liked Ganondorf as a villain but I wish we had more screentime or more involvement with other important characters seen in the memories.

    TL-DR, ToTK just better in every way. Go play.

    Anyways this game is one of, if not the best Zelda games of all time. How would they ever top this. my only problem is that rewind is very op in shrines. but if you really care about then don't use it in shrines unless you need to.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tears of the Kingdom is a game that is too afraid to create its own identity. It follows Breath of the Wild's formula nearly verbatim, with a few new mechanics sprinkled in. You wake up with your powers gone, have to complete four tutorial shrines to leave the starting area, travel to the same four regions to solve their problems, collect Korok seeds to expand your inventory, complete shrines to increase your health and stamina, go to specific locations to see memories, all while exploring an essentially unchanged world from Breath of the Wild.

    The new additions like the Sky and Depths are underwhelming at best, with both areas feeling like the same formations copy and pasted ad nauseam. They ultimately add very little to the world and lack the care and thought put into Breath of the Wild's map. There are also some strange continuity errors between the two games, with Tears of the Kingdom seemingly retconning several things from Breath of the Wild.

    The new abilities are enjoyable, and definitely an upgrade from the previous game's. The temples, bosses, and story are improved, but only marginally. The greater enemy variety is very nice though, mostly fixing one of the biggest problems with Breath of the Wild.

    While the overall package may have more content than it's predecessor, it is unable to recapture the magic of exploring this version of Hyrule for the first time. Through the entirety of my playthrough, I was just wishing I could have played Breath of the Wild for the first time again.

    Can you recall any soundtrack from this game? Music has always been a strong feature in every Zelda game (even in Botw there were memorable tunes), and this game has failed terribly on this point. Music here is ****

    The gameplay is RIDICULOUS. Link looks like a dork putting a library on a shield, or ruining a masterpiece of a legendary sword like the fierce deity’s sword with any garbage

    The gameplay is RIDICULOUS. Link looks like a dork putting a library on a shield, or ruining a masterpiece of a legendary sword like the fierce deity’s sword with any garbage you can think of to combine with. The fusing ability was just fan service and not something truly credible for the lore.

    Graphics and map are just exactly botw. No innovation at all. The skies are just some rocks over here and there and the depths are too repetitive and not so interesting. Atmosphere: do you remember the atmosphere that MM (or TP, SS, OoT) created? This game doesn’t get one inch close to that creation of atmosphere. It just feels like a Zelda for Fortnite junkies.

    Storytelling: this is the most compelling point to make a judgement of this game. Zelda games have always been memorable for the stories they tell and HOW they tell it. This game just RUSHES to tell a not so credible story. Nintendo just wanted to vaguely accomplish to tell a story as a side dish for a gameplay aimed at toddlers. A very good game. A delusion of a Zelda game.

    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.
