    Game of The Year 2023 with very weak hardware (weak in 2017 imagine nowadays ...) and nor Sony nor Microsoft have an exclusive Open World game similar even if they have 10 and 12 Teraflops in your videogames !!!!!!!!!!

    OK, I was already a fan of BOTW, and loved the open world exploration ethic (I'm no speedrunner - I enjoy a more leisurely approach). I thought BOTW was the best game I would ever see and was worried that TotK could not improve on it.

    Well it has - and then some. In so many ways it has added to the experience. Now to be fair, for an y new users to the franchise (are there any left?)

    Still pretty early on the game but it seems much more than a worthy continuation to Breath of the wild! If it goes on like this, this could be another masterpiece from Nintendo

    This is a great game with more freedom than any game I have ever played. Even after over 600 hours of Breath of the Wild the map still feels brand new even as I walk into familier places. There nothing short of the best gameplay coming from Tears of the Kingdom and it is a must play for anyone.

    Después de jugar al juego me doy cuenta que es el juego con mallor expresión de libertad no es necesario seguir las misiones principales y puedes ir al más remoto sitio del subsuelo o cielo.
    Se nota que el juego está hecho con cariño, con buenas mecánicas y gráficos.

I honestly can’t also understand the people that are giving low scores because this is still a game that had a huge potential but it’s still a Nintendo Switch game, therefore the graphics are “horrible”. If a game like this can do what we’re experiencing in a limited machine, that means that it’s an AWESOME game. This game is full of things to do and the storyline is beautiful. If you have only bad things to say about it based on graphics or lack of innovation, go back to your PC or PS5 games that are wonderful for the eyes, but you get extremely bored after playing for a few weeks. Understand that this is an awesome game despite of “720/ 20fps” bla, bla, bla”.… Expand

    Objectively, the game is well made, but I understand that open world Zelda is not for everyone. As a BotW and old Zelda fan I feel that they have addressed the problems that BotW had, while bringing back some of the old Zelda charm. I would suggest going into the game with as little outside influence as possible. Unfortunately there has been a lot of toxic back and forth over TotK.

    Tears of the Kingdom is an amazing game, and I want to both talk about what I liked, as well as address some common criticisms of the game: Story: I haven’t completed the story yet, but from what I have experienced, it’s really good. Not as strong as other games in the franchise, but definitely feels like it’s following in the footsteps of the more traditional Zeldas. A new version ofTears of the Kingdom is an amazing game, and I want to both talk about what I liked, as well as address some common criticisms of the game: Story: I haven’t completed the story yet, but from what I have experienced, it’s really good. Not as strong as other games in the franchise, but definitely feels like it’s following in the footsteps of the more traditional Zeldas. A new version of memories are back, and while those memories are great, it is a little disappointing that we don’t get to play through them. The dungeons, at least the ones I’ve done, are very solid. They all have unique themes, and unique bosses. They do have a similar progression in all of them; activate a set number of things to unlock the boss. Don’t expect them to be on the quality of OoTs forest temple, or SS’s Sandship, but they are much better than the divine beasts. The bosses are pretty great, and their music is amazing. The boss of the Rito dungeon is especially memorable.
    Performance: TotK runs pretty well on switch, honestly a little better than i expected. It’s a solid 30 fps, which for a single player game is still really good. There are slight performance dips here and there, mainly dealing with large groups of enemies and lots of explosions. It’s also important to consider that the Switch is not incredibly powerful, so its performance is still good. As for graphics, it’s the same cell-shaded look as BoTW. I love the art style, but it’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea.
    Combat: Weapon durability is still a thing, though fuse does address is to some degree. It hasn’t been fixed the way I would’ve liked, but it is slightly better. Overall the combat is the same, though Links new abilities and new enemies make it a lot of fun. Additionally, enemies seem to have more health than in BoTW, and hit a bit harder.
    Map: The world is the same Hyrule as BoTW, but with several changes. New towns have been created, and some old areas are completely changed. While it does feel familiar, it’s changed enough to be fun to explore. The underground area is huge, and is pretty fun to explore, though I would’ve liked more diverse underground biomes. The sky islands are really fun, but are way too sparse. Overall, the world is really fun to explore.
    Conclusion: overall, TotK is an outstanding game, and a great sequel. It improves upon everything that BoTW did, as well as adding its own new ideas. If you are a fan of BoTW, or of open world games, I highly recommend. It’s my top choice for Game of the year.    … Expand

    I saw that people started to review bomb this game. When I started thinking I couldn't find any good reason as to why they would. After spending atleast 30 to 40 hours in this game, I can confidentiality say it isn't anything lower than an 8, but if you really hate it then you probably only hate it because you hate Nintendo and haven't played it. That alone isn't even a good reason, yet ofI saw that people started to review bomb this game. When I started thinking I couldn't find any good reason as to why they would. After spending atleast 30 to 40 hours in this game, I can confidentiality say it isn't anything lower than an 8, but if you really hate it then you probably only hate it because you hate Nintendo and haven't played it. That alone isn't even a good reason, yet of course people will still be dumb and come on here and review bomb it. So I decided to atleast help with that by adding my thoughts on the game and why it might just be one of the best games ever made.

    1. Starting with reason one being that this game is everything that someone could want from a sequel to one of the best games ever made. It adds upon the things that made the first game so good, it learns from the very few mistakes the first game made. Such as forcing people to buy amiibos for the best items in the game, instead in their game it gives you stuff that's simply cosmetic and good early game but nothing amazing by endgame.

    2. In reason 1, I mentioned it adds upon the parts that made the first game so good. And a few of those things were letting the player choose how they wanted to play the game, how they approached a fight a puzzle. In this game they lean into that much more with the 2 main new abilities, with those being fuse and ultrahand, allowing you to make a weapon which normally sucks into something good, or allowing you to make a robot or even a korok torture device. Both let you do so much. It's great because it let's the player have more fun by deciding what they want to do rather than be told exactly what to do.

    3. My final point is that the map which people had complained before seeing it that it'd be hyrule eith some sky islands and wouldn't be that different. Well in the end it is way different with some large variations aswell as instead of small ones people were expecting. And because people kept complaining that it was basically a dlc, they said things like "why pay 70 bucks for dlc" and "what's so next gen about this to be 70 dollars". The reason they priced it at 70 is because they knew no matter what people would buy it, by the looks of what the internet has been saying they weren't wrong. With all the people who said it was a glorified dlc being proven wrong we can now see its a true sequel by doing what most don't and that's make a better game by learning from the firsts few mistakes like I said earlier. By doing so this game has become a game that clearly deserves the price tag because it is one of the best games ever made.

    To close this all up with a nice little bow, I want to point out that the people review bombing this game can't change the fact that this game is great and that people will buy it. And even with their crappy reviews with 0 true statements about the game I just would like to remind anyone who's read this far that the game is good if you didn't enjoy the first for whatever reason, you won't like this one and that this game was made by people who love the ip and care. Nintendo as a company has fallen into being scummy from time to time but when have other companies not. Like we've just going to pretend sony hasn't tried to sabotage xbox gamepass? In the end the people who make the game are different from those who publish it. Buy it if you want to and buy it if you don't. The game runs great with frame dips for less than a second when using ultrahand with a lot of stuff on screen, but otherwise no dips. The graphics aren't bad same as the first time in that aspect but slightly elevated. Thank you for reading this far and have a good day    … Expand

I wish more developers would focus on the FUN and less for how many needles their cactus has, ray tracing and **** like that. I love that I can play it as a casual player and enjoy it, but more skilled players can find their challenge there as well. This open world is just on another level. I do not feel it forces me to grind just to progress the story. Most probably there are quests like bring me 6 goblin horns, but I cannot remember any like that. I do remember quests like that in other games which is usually very boring. (world of warcraft, Assassins creed, The Witcher,...) If someone wants any resource from me, mostly I do have it already just from messing around and if I do not have that, It usually send me to some cool cave or do some cool puzzle. The great thing is, that you can just mess around searching for new cool areas and things to do without actually wanting to progress in a storey... and when you get bored you just can go with the story, or skip most of the story - it is up to you... If you do not like doing something, you do not have to do it. Of course if you want a certain armour to feel good, well you probably need a little bit of grind for rupees or resources.. :-). Two things I do not enjoy that much are - I kinda like to be attached to a nice weapons so them breaking is breaking my heard. But i get it. If they were not breaking, everyone would just find how tho get the best weapons at the start of the game and would be OP right away. It would be nice if I could see at least when it will break. Something like a number how many hits it has left or something. I also do not like that I do not regenerate hearts over time but have to cook... all the time. Those are the two things I do not enjoy that much, but I get them. It is a great game for everyone.… Expand

    It is difficult to succinctly summarize this masterpiece in words. Words elude me despite my greatest efforts, so the best way to describe the incredible excellence of Tears of the Kingdom is by explaining how it impacted my life. Prior to the game’s release, I was your standard big apple lawyer who did not have a life outside of work; I was no different to those World of Warcraft players who dedicated every single waking moment of their lives grinding hours away for a cause that - ultimately - was meaningless. My girlfriend (and eventual fiancee) of four years left me after months of only being able to spend, at most, eight hours a week with her. She said it was a blameless break-up, but I knew it was my fault, and even now I still regret that I didn’t spend enough time with her.. Shortly after she left me, I was dropped into a world of sheer loneliness, much like the chasms in the depths of Hyrule. My life as a lawyer felt more like that of a mining Mokoblin than a brave explorer on the surface. My days comprised sitting at my desk for 16 hours a day, journeying to and from the office for around two hours, and then sleeping for a maximum of five hours total. Eating a full meal was mostly a luxury, although I didn’t feel the urge to eat on account of my severe depression. I didn’t really live at this point: I became a semi-sentient automated creature that lived in a sort of twilight. I was aware of my existence, but felt no desire to engage with it. In 2022, Nintendo announced the release date for Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to a game that I’d invested hundreds of hours into while I was still studying for my degree. I thoroughly enjoyed Breath of the Wild, and I was excited to see what Tears of the Kingdom had in store. I must admit that I doubted the extent to which Tears of the Kingdom could surpass its predecessor, a widely acclaimed game that is equally revered as a masterpiece. Still, I was happy to indulge into any activity to at least feel something. Fast forward to midnight on 12 May 2023. I had pre-downloaded the game in the morning prior to going to work, and felt some excitement for the first time, knowing I’d be able to play an enjoyable game; at the very least, it would connect me with my younger self, like a sort of nostalgic trance to alleviate the emptiness of my present day.

    This. Game. Is. Incredible. The sheer freedom to explore; the freedom to test new weapons, foods, items; the freedom to build novel machines and traverse the sky, the surface, the depths; the freedom to speak with whomever, fight whomever, defend whomever, and create whatever. I was limitless. The period of creative drought that plagued me for years had suddenly - overnight - ended with a deluge of creative freedom and curiosity. There was no barrier to anything in this world; the only limitations in any moment were my creativity and commitment to solve problems. I was able to play five hours before having to go to work. I didn’t sleep that night, but I didn’t need to: the unprecedented excitement and thrill that I felt in those short hours of gameplay left me energised and hungry for more. It was as if I was reborn as a new human being. Work was miraculously quiet over the weekend, and I was able to dedicate 40 hours into the game, having spent only four hours a night sleeping. I did not move from my couch; I didn’t need to: I had nowhere else to be, as the entire world was right at my fingertips, ready for me to unlock every inch of the surface, sky, and chasms like a sealed gate of eon waiting to be opened. In my journeys across Hyrule, I began to reflect on my own childhood: the years playing different Zelda games as I grew up. It was as if every single Zelda game was designed to lead up to this moment, and all of my life’s experiences were predestined for me to enjoy it. I began to recall what happiness felt like, I began to remember what it meant to be free. I began to see that life wasn’t about grinding countless hours into a job to make enough money to live “comfortably”. How is life comfortable if you spend 16 hours at a desk with your back arched the whole time? When I fought my first temple boss, I remembered what it meant to be courageous and strategic; that sometimes, the best solutions are the simplest ones. My hours of gameplay taught me more about myself than my professional therapist did in two years. I wrote my notice last night, and I intend to resign tomorrow. I have enough unspent money to sustain myself for a few months, and I intend to delve deeper into this game to understand what further courage and meaning I can derive for myself. For my own life.    … Expand

    C'est tout simplement le meilleur jeux zelda au quel j'ai jamais joué ! Il est parfaitement optimisé pour la switch oled, avec des couleurs parfaitement nuancé. Rien que la mécanique de jeu m'oblige à lui mettre mettre 10/10. Un Best seller à ne pas manquer.

    Absolutely amazing game the perfect sequel to botw the only complaint (which isn’t even rlly a complaint about the game) is I wish Nintendo would bring out a strong enough console that can run 60 fps. But apart from that the game is absolutely amazing in every aspect 100% recommend!!!

    I think it an amazing game. but i does have some flaws. i don't like the dungeons is too similar to the divine besets from BOTW. and i don't like that the debility system has not been fixed and i know we have fuse. but the weapons still break and you to find a new one. but overall a amazing game. and Utra hand i amazing i love playing with it. and also love the depth it really fun to explore.

    The game is simply wonderful, you play for hours and don't even see the time go by... Each environment of the game has its unique magic that leaves you with an absurd desire to look at every square meter of them, simple but very rich gameplay, causing the player to abuse his creativity to pass each stage of the game. Anyway, I recommend everyone who has a switch to play

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you played and enjoyed BotW, you will definitely enjoy Tears of the Kingdom. The puzzles that you can complete can be solved in many ways and if you solve it your way, it feels way more satisfying. The abilities such as Ultrahand, Fuse, Ascend ect. are super fun to play with. Wether you make a unique vehicle with Ultrahand, Fuse some powerful and cool looking weapons and shields or Acsend to new heights, I know even newcomers to the Legend of Zelda games will enjoy this game and get immediately hooked. I’ve got pretty much no problems with this game because of how much time Nintendo put into this game. It seems so weird that Nintendo only announced this game in 2019 and 4 years to make a sequel to game that changed the world of Open World games forever and make it such a banger. The story is really amazing as well! You start at the beginning only with a few things to work with, Ganondorf is set free to Hyrule to destroy it and cast it to eternal night and Zelda is transported to the past where she sees the founders and first King and Queen of Hyrule, King Rauru and Queen Sonia. As you traverse through the story you find geoglyphs that give you memories to make the plot of ToTK and more clear and more information about the past in King Rauru and Queen Sonia’s time. Did I even mention the final trailer they gave us?! It felt so amazing to watch. I was at the premiere on YouTube waiting desperately to see the final trailer and the wait was so worth it. The final trailer was pretty much the chef’s kiss to the game before it was out for purchase. So I continue playing this game giving it a solid 10/10 and hope for it to win so many rewards and hopefully Game Of The Year.… Expand

    A well thought out video game sequel that improves upon its predecessor but shouldn’t be charged for $70.

    Traversing the map is way more fun now with the building aspect. You can build Hoverboards, cars, boats etc. The new abilities are also more fun than the ones in BoTW. They add new ways to play the game. This affects weapons, fights and traversing in the game.

    There is also more depth in the story this time, and its more interesting in my opinion. Nintendo went for the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. Instead they improved on what they built.

It's not every day that such a special video game like this comes around. Truly the stuff of legend.
