    Fun game but copied most of things from BOTW and Switch hardware holds it back. It shouldn't be sold as $70 because it feels more like an expansion than a full game.

I wish they would have changed more of the landscape but then again keeping the land the same as the previous game is a nice change from Nintendo. Last but not least, one thing to remember is when you create such an amazing game, you will always have those haters trying to gain clout by trashing it, deep down they know they absolutely love this game.… Expand

    then there's the NPC's that transform into mega annoying enemies that don't give you much useful stuff. what does that teach me nintendo? it teaches me that I get punished for talking to NPC's, so naturally, I don't feel safe to talk to NPC's any more. genius move.
    Oh yes, then there is the GODDAMN GATHCA MACHINE, which has me wasting the resources I collected, just to try and get one of each item, I don't play games for gambling mechanics, this is reprehensible.
    The amazing stuff you can make, disappears if you walk too far from it, some of them even disappear midway through using them.
    If you want to ride a horse to travel faster, you can't use fast travel because the horse can't fast travel, except that is, if you go to a stable, where it can then be teleported from one stable to another... there is no logic to this.
    I go to trouble of exploring, to see if I find something interesting, and what's my reward? another bloody shrine, where i can solve a puzzle to get a light orb, to go to a statue, to choose either heart or stamina.... another convulted bit of BUSYWORK, rather than actually finding tangible things in the world like heart pieces.
    zelda used to be fun exploration that had a sense of discovery, but I don't feel much DISCOVERY from finding another damn shrine, or whatever collectable or currency is flavour of the moment.    … Expand

    This game is the disappointment of the year. I got it for free to test it and following all the hype I expected something great but what I ultimately got was nothing more than bad.

I got it for free to test it and following all the hype I expected something great but what I ultimately got was nothing more than bad.

    There are some positives; the game looks nice and the environments have a nice vibe to them. Furthermore, exploration is fun and the combination mechanisms are innovative and have a lot of potential. The allow for some really creative approach but are restricted by the clunky controls quite a bit (see next part for more on this). Too often a valuable building part falls down into the void and is gone until the game is restarted. That's not too bad though because it gives a sense of caution.

    The music is decent and sound effects fit the ambiance well but neither are something special. Voice acting is well done for the few spoken lines there are, but again, Link doesn't respond verbally to anyone.

    If that was everything about this game, it'd probably get a 7 or 8 score but the combat and the controls is what's the real catastrophe. They're just bad, really bad.
    First and foremost, who'd though putting the "run button" on th topmost button was a good idea. Not only does it hurt my hands but it also blocks access of the other face buttons. It's also so unintuitive, as other similar games have the run command on the downmost button, a shoulder button or the right analog stick.

    Even worse is the combat itself. While it doesn't help that everything breaks on you in the almost worst possible moment, switching weapons and gear is a chore in how the buttons are configured. That's as unintuitive as running. I'd rather open a menu and scroll through it then pressing two buttons while trying to choose the right weapon with a third one.

    Finally, the biggest no-go for an action-orientated game the complete absence of an "evade button". You can block attacks with a shield, but if you don't have one you're screwed. Because there is no dedicated evade method you have to run to not get hit, using that stupid button layout, while also trying to get closer to attack. That results in getting hit by enemy attacks a lot, because they have a god-like precision and many hit like a truck, even with a literal pebble causing you to have to deal with even more unintuitive menus to access healing items.

    Conclusion:
    I can't recommend anyone to play this game at all because combat and controls are abysmal. Even the most difficult Souls-likes have much better gameplay and are more enjoyable despite their difficulty.    … Expand

    The story is very bland, and while the few dungeon areas and bosses are much better than BOTW, they are a tiny part of the game, and trivial to solve//beat.

    Building things is fun for a few minutes, then you realize you have to remake them whenever you go anywhere like inside of a shrine, and it is way faster to run or glide. The battery power makes any machines essentially useless for anything other than novelty, if you want to actually use a contraption you need to spend a LOT of time grinding to upgrade your batteries, you will not get a reasonable amount of power just by playing or progressing through the story.

    Overall this game is like a BOTW + mod, it adds some things, and some of them are interesting, the gameplay is still the same and pretty solid, but it feels like the same game all over again. The rewards are things you already had in the last game, only a few people remember you, and nothing is nearly as exciting to explore as you have already been there in BOTW.

    This game is not bad, it is fun and enjoyable to play, however it is extraordinarily disappointing if you have played through Breath of the Wild.    … Expand

You would have to consciously decide to spend 10 minutes building a car when you could just walk over there in 2 minutes. My favorite franchise turned its mainline games into an open world gimmick and instead of the fans rejecting it like they should’ve, it was pandered too. I can only hope that Nintendo paid for and manipulated social media influencers to act like the game was an evolution for the franchise and the sheep did the rest. If not, then you got what you deserved with this game. Waste.… Expand

    An action RPG where you have to sift through menus during fights and not to make tactical decisions but because your weapon breaks 4 times in a fight against 3 enemies. In what world are we rewarding such a stupid mechanic with high praise. Also, it took 6 years to basically sell you the same game with some updated physics and skydiving.

    Wait a minute. I don't call it an adventure if it is merely vast. It's a journey that leads you on a never-ending trail of guided glances, atmospheres, objectives, and temptations.

    this might be a good development from botw if the game was balanced and the combat system truly thought out, but coupled with input lag, stubborn predictive pathing that makes you do things you never pressed the buttons for, and the fact that so many of the regular enemies are just irritatingly strong bullet sponges, it just makes for a highly frustrating experience with very inconsistent behavior that makes every combat entirely 1 sided. the fact that i can't really make healing items anymore just adds to this, since i'm not realistically able to prepare for difficult combat in the way that any other game in the series would allow. if they wanted to make this more similar to older zelda games, then they should stop making it so difficult to stock up, since it's ALWAYS been easy to collect a bunch of fairies or potions in every single entry prior to this. the fairy fountains don't even work right on the sky islands, since our companions will scare them away even if the fountain doesnt have a built in rocket archer that immediately makes them leave as soon as we arrive, whether we kill it or it shoots at us.

    the majority of quests, main or side, are outrageously bugged, the rewards for minibosses are often just useless amiibo drops that nintendo made stop working since botw, the visuals are decidedly more gloomy, less detailed, and lower contrast, there are far too many obnoxiously slow and repetitive cutscenes, NPCs talk WAY too much and say completely pointless and convoluted things that make it seem like the creators were trying to show off their middle of the road english skills, and all of these aspects make totk's hyrule a place that i simply don't feel enthusiastic about exploring. this game is more of a headache than a source of relaxation or entertainment, and that's really disappointing given just how many years nintendo had to make a finished sequel out of a world and platform that they had already made 90% of. yes, there is still a lot of cool stuff in this game, but it's just buried under a heap of unfinished jank. the developers CLEARLY saw how bad the recent pokemon games were and decided they didn't need to bring any kind of integrity to this new project.

    TLDR: if they don't patch this heavily, i'm never buying another zelda game, and it's really messed up that they are screwing with my childhood like this. i guess i can always go back to ocarina of time romhacks.]    … Expand

E este último mapa referido sofreu mudanças significativas e pra melhor. Mudança na jogabilidade dispensa comentários.
    Outra coisa que vi gente falando é que o jogo ta mais feio que o primeiro. Outra grande mentira. Já sobre a narrativa do game pra mim ta bem melhor que o primeiro. A gama de possibilidades no game se amplificaram e de modo consistente. Nota 10. Esse jogo é descomunal de bom!
    Tudo bem não gostar de Zelda, é do gosto de cada um. Eu mesmo não gosto de jogos souls-like e to ok com isso, mas não saio por aí dando hate em algo que pra muita gente significa muito.
    No entanto não faz sentido desmerecer ou superestimar uma franquia nos seus já 37 anos de existência só pq ela desbancou seu joguinho favorito. Nota 0?

Nintendo created an excessive open world and wanted players to go everywhere, but in order to archive that they had to introduce mechanics that solely exist for the purpose of creating unnecessary grinding. That's why breakable weapons were introduced, and you can not find any rupees, you have to go in the caves to mine rocks, but all caves are nearly the same.
    When you can go everywhere from the beginning, all sense of progression is lost and the game becomes meaningless.

    The negatives: The open world is too large, it wastes players time. Nintendo should have concentrated on content instead of an excessive open world.
    The game has not much content, when we take away the open world and the minigames (shrines), the only 4 very small dungeons main quest is pretty lackluster and leaves much to be desired.
    When playing Tears of the Kingdom you get the impression that creating clever dungeons that are based on a rewarding progression system and a good combat system were to hard for the japanese developers, therefore they had to replace it with shallow repetitive content which can be seen by the shrines, many of which the developers not even cared enough about to include any minigame, and the 900 korok seeds, which only add to the repetitive uninspiring gameplay.
    The game has it's moments like the gleeok design which looks awesome, but at the same time the developers went out of their way to add fog and bad weather to the game so the players can not enjoy the little bit of good graphics the game would otherwise have to offer on the already weak switch hardware.

    Overall Tears of the Kingdom is not a good Zelda game, it's not even a good game as with only 4 mini dungeons it lacks unique story content, which was compensated in the worst possible way by going with endless repetitive minigame shrines, korok collections and an too big map with nothing unique to do, according to the motto: quantity over quality.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pour ma part, j'ai joué a BOTW avec des étoiles dans les yeux, je découvrais plein de chose, j'adorais explorer et l'histoire était géniale. En 70h de jeu, j'étais comblé.

    Dans TOTK, avec 130h de jeu a mon actif, malheureusement, on a l'aspect découverte au début avec les nouveaux pouvoirs. Ensuite, c'est tout comme BOTW, donc on se retrouve très vite sur sa faim. Je me suis mis a découvrir les nouvelles zones des que j'ai pu, les cieux, les profondeurs.. mais sur terre c'est BOTW... Je ne prends pas les grottes en compte car elles sont souvent peu utiles...

    Un bon Zelda pour moi, c'est une bonne histoire et un bon gameplay.
    Mais là trop de chose ne vont pas...
    Sans prendre en compte le prix et les lacunes niveau performance et graphique de la Switch...
    Le jeu vaut le coup d'oeil étant donné que c'est une suite de BOTW, mais il y a trop de chose qui ne mène à rien. Le joueur n'est pas assez récompensé. On a 16 cinématiques "Souvenirs" et pour moi il en manque vraiment beaucoup. J'aurais aimé que cet aspect soit améliorer, peut être en ayant toutes les cinématiques Accessibles et pas seulement des souvenirs.
    Mais il y a un manque cruelle de cinématiques, de récompenses, d'équilibre entre explorer et trouver des quêtes qui sont SUPER importantes.

    Par exemple, dans les profondeurs, c'est vide, même après avoir afficher la carte a 100%, on a une récompense équivalente à "Bravo" : "Wow merci je me suis embêté a faire tout ça pour ça ? J'ai même pas de cinématique ? D'explication ? De ah merci ça a servi à quelque chose ?" Non rien. Tu peux juste enfin regarder toute la carte c'est génial.
    Plein de quête dans des villes qui "ne servent à rien", exemple a elimith où on assiste à une meuf qui veut monter au pouvoir, au final on règle la situation, et wow, on peut baisser notre capuche, MERCI !

    Le meilleur des temples qui apportaient des choses "Nouvelles" c'est le temple Gerudo qui pour moi est de loin le meilleur des temples BOTW inclut, et je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils n'ont pas gardés les même directives sur les autres, ou pas exactement pareil mais histoire que ça change un peu quoi..

    Maintenant, au niveau de l'histoire...
    Ils ont voulus jouer avec le temps... Chose qu'ils avaient bien réussi à faire a l'époque avec les Ocarina of time etc... Mais là c'est un échec absolu, ou bien nous n'avons pas encore toutes les réponses mais c'est vraiment inexplicable, on ne peut être que dans des théories et ça c'est chiant ! Quand je finis un jeu, je veux que tout soit expliqué au moins ! Mais là il n'y a aucune cohérence.
    Par exemple, Zelda revient dans le temps et se transforme en dragon. Pourquoi on ne l'a pas vu dans BOTW ? Étant donné que cela fait 10 000 ans qu'elle est sous cette forme, on aurait pu le voir dans l'ancien jeu.
    Autre exemple avec la master sword, cela veut dire qu'il y en a deux dans une même époque dans BOTW, une sur Zelda dragon, et une a l'arbre mojo... Et pire encore comme exemple, elles sont où les technologies Sheikah? A l'école d'elimith, on apprend que les créatures divines ont bien existé, on a même des références à celle-ci, mais on apprend rien de plus ? Elles sont où ? On a que des questionnements sans déconner ? On peut pas nous donner une cinématiques au début du jeu qui nous montre les 7 ans qui se sont écoulés ? Peut être qu'ils ont supprimés les Tours, les sanctuaires, les gardiens, et les créatures divines, MAIS RIEN N'EST EXPLIQUÉ ?
    BAH NON, ça sera sûrement fait dans des DLC qui nous viendront 40€ l'unités, qui sait??

    Si je résume sans spoil :
    - Scénario avec trop de flou et d'incohérences - Trop peu de cinématiques
    - Gameplay ok mais qui rajoute des tonnes d'heures inutiles et répétitives - Des quêtes parfois trop longues qui n'apporte pas grand chose voir rien
    - On peut vite rater des quêtes importantes sans même sans rendre compte
    - Les korogu, il faut arrêter ça rajoute 70h de jeu juste a courir dans tous les sens
    - Les armes se cassent toujours, on aurait pu avoir un système de réparation de nos armes mais non on peut en fusionner...
    - Améliorer son niveau de batterie, c'est un enfer
    - Trop de farm a faire pour récupérer des choses importantes
    - Les sanctuaires on en peux plus, c'est long et pourtant super important, les anciens Zelda me manque car il n'y avait pas ce concept bidon de courir partout et résoudre 4 énigmes pour gagner un coeur/endurance... - Trop peu de vrai discussion avec des vrais voix et pas juste des onomatopées - Temps de jeu beaucoup trop long, a 120h de jeu je suis a 60%...
    - Graphisme peu important car égale à BOTW
    - Performance compliqué a cause de la Switch

    Pour terminer les aspects positifs pour moi :
    - Le peu de cinématiques qu'on a sont sympa voire incroyable pour certaines
    - L'histoire malgré ces lacunes est sympa a découvrir
    - Le gameplay malgré le temps qu'il prend est bien et amène a joué avec son esprit créatif    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Final Update: After 105 hours, finished the game. The depths are an afterthought, you just need to do enough there to gain batteries and complete a couple of quests and the rest is pointless. The story is also an afterthought: let's be clear, there is no path to the story which can be summed up as: intro cinematics, getting your companions, expanding your stash and unlocking regions, defeating bad guy, end cinematics *** credits *** more end cinematics. The number of main quests is actually extremely small, and the number of side quests is actually mostly fillers, barely more. The game is made to make you grind and watch the load screen to get a couple of items to be strong enough to defeat the bad guy at the end. Many times in the quest there are either issues with translations, or plain logic. As mentioned it's not a true open world as there is no story progression through your exploration of the map. FPS drop throughout the game is truly unbearable and the hindrance of your companions is also unbelievable annoying. It is said that repetition is the key to comedy, well this game is the plain demonstration: what a joke.

    Update: played the game for 60+ hours, it’s empty, grindy, and repetitive to give a semblance of depth to this game. It’s a very empty and soul-less game. The stuttering and fps drop is really annoying, same as the cut scenes (if you’ve seen the cutscene for a shrine once, twice or three times, you just end up mashing the controller’s buttons). Thank god there are duplication bugs to help getting food and coins rapidly, because this game is worst than a chore. It’s bad enough that I start to root for the antagonist… it’s really not an action or rpg game, barely a Minecraft clone with unnecessarily idiotic puzzles).

    I don't get the hype: the game is ugly, stutters, lags (controler or joycon response is... slow), and the world is empty with inconsistent use of voice acting.

    Game mechanics are incredibly poor (doing a simple 360 takes 4 seconds, looking around to 'solve' the puzzles is equally enragingly long), no possibility to tune any game parameter or remap anything, it's worse than a PC game designed in the early 2000 and it's not refreshing to see pixelated shadows.

    The use of some kind of cell shading to mask the low capacity of the console as well as using supersaturated textures with a mix low polygon models with high quality particles makes the game appear even weirder.

    I've tried playing this game but every 5 minutes I quit since it's really just not that good and it's not even trying to be good nor modern in any sense of the term: it's like playing a game of watching the paint dry using one hand and wondering why this kind of stupid controller setup is.

    I get it, people like to play games that basically play themselves, do not require any kind of character development, skills, or involvements so they just enjoy watching pretty colors playing in front of their eyes but I think there is a limit to that kind of mindlessness. Even games like the sims 1 have more depth!

    Another theory for those justifying the time it takes to pass the "tutorial" section is the sunk cost fallacy: a self justification not to face the fact they wasted money and time. As such they need to self justify, and justify to the eyes of others, having wasted their time.

    Interesting fact, just checked and most of the new 10/10 scores are from users with zero other rating or review. In this case, I'd look at the 4000+ positive reviews as being highly suspicious. Maybe 10% of genuine positive and the rest being bots or paid fake accounts.    … Expand

    Boss fights range from a fun puzzle to a horrendous showcase of the abysmal combat - the final boss is an especially poor showing of this.

    I found the shrines by far the most enjoyable part of the game finding them to be enjoyable physics puzzles. The building system is also ok, feels very much like Gmod.

    Over all it's a fun puzzle game with a terrible open world and poor combat system bolted on.    … Expand

    It plays very similar to botw but it feels like they took the creative freedom you wish you had and gave it to you. I don't care for how almost 1-1 it is in little things. For example, the cooking visuals and sounds are the exact same as in botw. But the new things so far make up for it enough

First off this game is stunning, I love the loz series and wish nintendo would stop the on and off neglectof the series. With thus game being a sequel to botw, it falls into the usual trope of adding more. And good god its too big, unlock sky, ground and depths plus fight the culprits causing chaos to the four races. Its obvious this game is going to take a long time to finish. I’m also not a giant fan of the abilities, seems a bit lazy and all the stuff in botw is gone. There’s no mention of what happened to the sheikah tech, like the big divine beasts are gone and that’s why this to me isn’t a sequel. Its a new game that’s been stapled with too many ideas, and to think they wanted this as a botw dlc?

    Because I knew this game was gonna take me ages to see the story, I saw the cutscenes online as that is the strength of these games since oot.
    Speaking of which this game they were really trying to make this like oot, but open world and on botw engine. So hardcore oot fans can calm down but it makes botw fans feel a bit lost. The mechanics from botw have got a tweak but I cannot stand the fuse ability. I miss the elemental arrows, and the prices of everything from botw have greatly increased here. Like I swear games are escapism from real world but the inflation jesus christ. Which brings me into this, because there’s so much to do in this game I am doing it at my own pace. I have a feeling dlc isn’t coming until next year and the next game is not going to be out on the switch.

    This game yes is fun but its very overwhelming whereas botw was pretty calm and felt like you were out taking a walk. Totk feels like I’m in the military and have to kill lots of enemies and get troops along the way. Seriously I’m going out irl to calm my head as its essentially pandoras box.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my 20 hours of playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, I have been taken aback. What I expected was a game that felt almost if not the exact same way as its predecessor Breath of the Wild. But no, I was wrong. When you first launch the game, it takes a whole different route than previous Zelda titles. It throws you into the game with Zelda exploring underneath the castle. That right there was a sign of what is to come. It showed that Nintendo was not afraid to try new things especially with a sequel. Now for the tutorial. There is only one word that I can describe the great sky islands. Linear. Compared to the great plateau, this starting area does not feel open. The reason why the great plateau was so loved was because of how many things you can already do on it. You can choose which shrine to go to first while on the great sky island, you can literally walk along a path that will lead you too all the shrines. Now for the enemies, same but new. Kind of hard to explain but everything feels more...challenging. Keeps you on your toes. The new boss enemies are amazing too. Time to wrap up. Tears of the Kingdom is an amazing game and I truly believe that this game will easily win Game of the Year.… Expand

Better story, better options to move around the map, more stuff to do, this game has it all. The Fuse and Ultrahand abilities keep the game fresh, so every adventure or quest I go on feels unique. Plus the sheer amount of content in this game is insane. In BOTW there was quite a bit of empty space where there was just nothing going on. However, in TOTK, it feels like there’s always something going on wherever you go. The ground level itself feels so much more involved than in BOTW. There’s npcs all over the place to talk to and help out. The shrines seem a bit more sparing on the surface than in BOTW since they are split between the sky and the surface, but that’s made up for by everything else that there is on the surface. Ultrahand allows for some great quests and shrines that BOTW can’t even compare to. Your time will be well spent pretty much anywhere you go on the surface. And if you find yourself lost about what to do next, there’s always the sky islands and the depths. There’s literally always something to do in this game, and I don’t foresee myself 100%ing this game for months.… Expand

    The Legend Of Zelda Tears of The Kingdom. Catalogado como la secuela de Breath Of The Wild, nos introduce en una nueva aventura para salvar Hyrule de las temibles garras del Rey Demonio.

Catalogado como la secuela de Breath Of The Wild, nos introduce en una nueva aventura para salvar Hyrule de las temibles garras del Rey Demonio.

    Zelda y Link se han separado y cada uno debe recorrer un camino diferente. Mientras que Zelda lidia con los problemas de un pasado muy lejano, Link deberá lidiar con el Caos o Malicia que desatado el "Legítimo Rey" en el presente.

    Prepara tu espada, escudo y arco para luchas contra incontables enemigos que podrán a prueba tu inteligencia, fuerza y valentía. Además, no estas solo en esta batalla, ya que regresan viejos conocidos que nos ayudarán a superar los obstáculos de las nuevas mazmorras o calabozos.
    Hyrule se expandido tanta en cielo, superficie y subsuelo, donde cada uno posee sus propias faunas, floras y climas que nos dificultara mucho nuestro viaje.

    El juego introdujo un nueva mecánica, el brazo nuevo de Link, cuyos poderes misteriosos nos permitirá utilizarlo como herramienta para poner a prueba nuestra creatividad.

    Vehículos, crafteos, fusión de objetos, intangibilidad... Todos esta nuevas habilidades son la esencia y atractivo de nuevo juego de la franquicia.

    Sumérgete en los cielos, donde descubrirás nuevas zonas relacionadas con una raza extinta, los Zonnan, y desentraña cada uno de los nuevos santuarios, que a lo mucho, son en misma cantidad que su precuela.

    Conoce el verdadero miedo, al adentrarte en el sombrio y lúgubre Subsuelo. Donde los Enemigos son más fuertes y la oscuridad jugara en tu contra dando una factor de miedo, soledad y aislamiento.

    Sin embargo, la superficie siempre estará presente para ti, para cumplir misiones tanto principales como secundarias.

    En conclusión, Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom coge todo lo que fue Breath Of The Wild en su momento, lo pule, lo mejora y añade más situaciones históricas.

    Han pasado 7 años, y este juego ha superado lo que alguna vez fue el "Aliento de lo Salvaje" en sus primeros días.    … Expand

    Lightning didn't strike twice with the new formula, in my opinion.

    What Tears of the Kingdom did right, to begin with, was the story. TotK eludes to new concepts and characters that have a major impact on now only BotW but on Zelda lore as a whole, and while I don't think the delivery was necessarily the best, I do enjoy this aspect the most. Where TotK's narrative shines the most is    Lightning didn't strike twice with the new formula, in my opinion.

    What Tears of the Kingdom did right, to begin with, was the story. TotK eludes to new concepts and characters that have a major impact on now only BotW but on Zelda lore as a whole, and while I don't think the delivery was necessarily the best, I do enjoy this aspect the most. Where TotK's narrative shines the most is within what it doesn't strictly say outright, the Depths and it's shrouded history, the Zonai and their curious origins, the revelation of historical significance to the founding of Hyrule and so much more. There is significant features from the main cast, charmingly, albeit sometimes cheesily, voice acted and in many ways the presence, sacrifice and meaning behind them all is very much consistent.

    The new areas, of which there are criminally few, are very well done. The aforementioned Depths is an amazing addition despite becoming somewhat samey after the intial exploration, there is an atmosphere and tone within that area that hasn't quite been captured in Zelda for a very long time. The Sky Islands were far too few but the ones we did receive were immensely well designed and enjoyable, though I honestly thought there would have been far more than there were. I must say the one mechanic that left the most impression on me was the item fusion for weaponry and shields, put bluntly I enjoyed that aspect very much because of the ability to make materials collected mean so much more.

    There are some things, that plainly haven't changed of course, combat is largely unaffected if you happen to be looking at the execution of combat, as opposed to the preparation. Timed dodges, environmental effects and parries are all largely unchanged, Link does not move much differently. The world, while receiving some major cosmetic overhauls in certain areas, is also very much the same; this fact is one you begin to feel after a while in my case, given that the game seems to encourage you to skip most of it with the devices you construct.

    My gripes, and yes that's the best word I could come up with to refer to these issues with TotK, is I feel there wasn't enough new game here to facilitate the new title. If you take away all that was reused content from BotW, you're ultimately left with the narrative, depths, sky islands and ultrahand. On one hand, I love the freedom and creativity that can come from the Ultrahand and it's devices. The weapons are largely ineffective and inefficient and the use of them for navigation really robs the game of that original BotW element of exploration though perhaps that's because there's not much else to explore.

    TotK is a good game, please don't misconstrue the score to mean otherwise, it is well above average in every respect, but it doesn't come close to hitting that infamous mark that BotW did. Neither are my personal favorites for the Zelda franchise, but the developments in TotK seem to underline the flaws that weren't as obvious with BotW. TotK seems to keep much of what BotW did right, while not really doing anything to improve what it did wrong, such as the memories, or mismatched narrative pacing. The ending itself, and the completion cutscenes of the otherwise excellently developed Temples, are monuments to this issue.

    Worth getting, if you're a Zelda fan but I, personally, expected more.    … Expand

    Playing older Zelda games, I had the felling that every new unlocked item would open new puzzle opportunities for relevant content or some side quest that would give me a relevant item.

    The ultrahand power is a very cool feature, but its nature of allowing you to build almost anything in anyway means that the puzzles can't have hard, well thought, specific solutions. You are open to solve it your own way, and so the puzzles to go from point A to point B end up being ridiculous easy (and sometimes not even needing the ultrahand power). Solving challenges with relevant items like the hookshot, iron boots, zora's armor is what was fun in Zelda and enabled the opportunity to have well designed puzzles, dungeons and items.

    The fuse power is a step in the right direction, but hasn't been used to its full potential. Allowing new utilities to your items based on what you hunt or find is really cool and I used a lot. There are many fusions with a really cool effect to explore. In relation to weapons I still prefer just using an unbreakable master sword than having other 10 breakable items, but giving them the right fusion can help in many different and smart ways.

    The enormous amount of content and collectibles doesn't help either. It's really annoying to keep changing outfits just to climb or swim or glide. Also selecting items for fuse operations is a pain. I know some people like the appearance customization, but the old green tunic with upgrades along the game is what I would go for. Continuously pausing your game to find X outfit or Y item to fuse breaks the game flow and fun.

    The chasm gets repetitive really fast. Running in the dark to find light to explore what you have just passed in a map the same size as Hyrule is not fun at all. It's also filled with nostalgic items that looks like a hard try to catch old Zelda fans emotions and ride the past games successes.

    In OoT we had child link, adult link, the ocarina... in MM we had unique mask powers... in WW we had the boat... In TP, twilight helm and wolf link... BoTW we had open world exploration and survivorship... I just feel that TotK doesn't have something memorable... maybe Zonai devices and the ultrahand system?

    My final feeling is that the quantity of content has increased and the quality of the content has decreased. It's a good game, one of the best main story line in all the Zelda games and an improvement from BoTW. But everything else just feels disconnected, the feeling of progression when you make a new discovery or solve a new puzzle is replaced by grinding useless collectables and rushing through easy puzzles. After 6 years of waiting, I wouldn't recommend at current price.

    I would give it a 6, but there are so many 10s that I feel I need to balance.    … Expand

    General game loop is okay, heavily resembles BotW.

A bit more content should be expected from a game company as massive as Nintendo in my opinion, especially if it's supposed to be a new experience. It did not feel like a new experience from BotW, and definitely did not feel like 6 years of game development went into it.
    There's hardly any new art in the game. It's mostly reusing old assets from the previous game in all aspects - from the environment to enemies. Most people are sold on the game being expanded upon greatly by the sky islands and the depths. A lot of these places use just a handful of modular assets, there is no true crafting of these structures by an artist. At this point they could've laid off the art team and would have delivered the same experience just about. I'm personally a game developer, and I can sniff out corner cutting a mile away. People say that the depths doubled the game's size. That's true in the literal sense, however I'm willing to bet money that this was generated off of an inverted height map from the hyrule surface, which takes zero time to do. Then was populated by the same few foliage assets, and a select few locations in there were hand-picked for some TLC in an attempt to try to make it seem like somebody cared for creating it. Generating an environment and foliage does not take too long, but the standard player probably won't notice and will still be impressed by the 'doubled-sized' game.

    Abilities:
    Ultrahand: This was fun, overall I enjoyed the freedom to create things to help move around or attack enemies. It's the one thing that held the game's score up for me.
    Ascend: This was convenient, but overall did not add any ground-breaking aspects to the game to really change how the game felt compared to BotW.
    Recall: Objects did the thing they just did, but in reverse. Not necessarily something that sets this game above anything else.
    Fuse: I find it lackluster. I see no difference in combat really compared to BotW. I still whack enemies to death, or whack boulders that are in my way with other boulders (on a stick). And when it comes to fuse+arrows, it's neat that items in your inventory have more of a use, however it's inconvenient to sift through all your items for the same 3 or 4 items you'll use. Even if you sort it, it doesn't make combat truly feel any different.
    Autobuild: Good for my air bike, glad I didn't have to recraft it over and over again manually.

    Performance:
    I'll give credit where it's due, mostly consistent 30 fps on a switch with a lot of these systems working is impressive, however come on Nintendo, we need a new device that's not stuck in the past. It's good that after creating BotW and forking off somewhere into development and overhauling for TotK, it managed to stay optimized for the most part. From what I saw BOTW started serious development back in 2013, so after 10 years total on a project (TotK IS forked from BotW and nobody can convince me otherwise), there was plenty of time to allocate to these optimizations. I just wish more time was spent in other areas though to make it feel like a new game.

    Story:
    I won't spoil anything, but honestly not much would be spoiled. It's a Nintendo game. They're more known for solving puzzles versus creating a truly compelling story. I'm finished with my playthru of the game and I did a lot of side-quests, I'm convinced that I'll forget most of it by the end of next month, it's nothing to rave about.

    In the end:
    General gameplay loop is alright, more or less the same as BotW which isn't bad necessarily. After playing through the predecessor and coming to this, I feel like it was not worth $70 though. It was the same game packaged again and everybody ate it up because it was hailed as the next Zelda game. If I didn't play BotW and if I didn't have my game developer background maybe I would have enjoyed this more. I can just see all the corners that were cut during gameplay, and it feels insulting to be a consumer of this. Not worth $70, not indicative of 6 years of work, 4/10. Congratulations, you implemented 1 cool feature with ultrahand and things are slightly more optimized.
    I'm not going to just give a pass for huge companies that choose to cheat out the consumer.    … Expand

    Good but... the difference with BOTW is not visible enough, and I didn't appreciate the new game system with the new powers. I had a hard time hanging on and nearly quit the game several times. Now I'm going to push until the end because I ended up having the desire, but this Zelda will not mark my memories.
