    My main issue with the latest Zelda games is a lack of direction (even though I absolutely love Elden Ring where I was constantly lost). Yes, the game throws some objective markers at you but it's still overwhelming. That combined with it's lack-luster combat, unrewarding gameplay loop, boatload of puzzles and ungodly amount of walking make this a dreadful experience, the cumbersome mechanics of the Ultra-Hand and Zonai devices just added to my frustration.

    It is what it is, I don't like Baldur's Gate 3 either, it's too slow. My ADHD brain needs quick and constant stimulation otherwise I'm out, no matter how highly praised it is by critics and the general populace.
    Give me a weapon, some enemies to kill (with a good combat system) and I'm good. Leave the "wandering around aimlessly" and "finding what to do next" parts to real-life, or at least make it worth my while. None of the places look interesting or memorable.

    In conclusion, for me this game is boring, frustrating and tedious.

    On est sur le même moteur que BOTW. Alors en 2017 ça allait, remis dans le contexte c'était honnête. Par contre, la même en 2023 sur la même console qui était déjà un peu fatiguée à l'époque, je vous laisse imaginer la cata : 1080P 30fps en regardant le ciel, sinon c'est définition dynamique et framerate dynamique aussi. L'aliasing est absolument horrible pour les yeux.
    Oui, y'a un moteur physique un peu plus évolué que BOTW, on peut construire des chose en assemblant des éléments, c'est sympa mais ça fait pas du 26/20 en note quoi. Impossible de changer les touches, touche X et B pour courir et sauter c'est a se demander si les dev ont tenu une manette switch entre les mains? (au pire, pourquoi ne pas pouvoir changer les touches ? on est en 2023 les gars !)
    Les doublages... parlons-en ! Les cinématiques sont doublées (vocalement) dans la langue de Molière, mais 95% des dialogues dans le jeu (typiquement avec un PNJ) ne sont pas doublés en vocal. Pas DU TOUT, quelque soit la langue. C'est assez fou en 2023, toujours.
    Intrinsèquement, le jeu c'est un BOTW++ : la zone de jeu est plus grande, c'est tout. Les combats ne sont pas spécialement passionnants : une arme par ennemi, arme qui casse toujours très rapidement, et ennemi qui te bute en deux coups : mouaif.
    Bon jeu, en étant honnête pas de quoi se pignoler en se disant que c'est le jeu de la vie. Pour ceux qui n'ont jamais fait BOTW, bon jeu. Pour ceux qui ont fait BOTW : TOTK est une redite de BOTW en mode "plus plus"    … Expand

    The open world beckoned, vast and so wide,
    But lacking enchantment, it made me deride.
    Wind Waker's seas, a sight full of grand,
    While Tears of the Expansion, a lackluster land.

    Dungeons once grand, puzzles crafted with care,
    Now pale shadows, a tedious affair.
    Rooms and puzzles skippable, immersion defaced,
    No treasures to find, no challenges to embrace.

    Maps, compasses, keys, they've faded, it's true,
    Took an arrow to the knee, a sad adieu.
    Replaced by simplicity, devoid of true zest,
    Puzzles forsaken, immersion put to the test.

    Breakable weapons, tools that won't last,
    Zelda's essence faded, a relic from the past.
    The Blood Moon, tired and worn, in its repeat,
    Rehashed memory cleaning, a cycle so fleet.

    A lengthy two-hour tutorial, a burden to bear,
    Tears of the Expansion, time wasted in despair.
    An identity crisis, lost in its lore,
    Assassin's Creed's shadow, knocking at the door.

    "Ubitowers" once more, an intrusion so odd,
    Zelda's spirit diluted, a fusion so flawed.
    Minecraft's influence joining this melee,
    Challenges diminished, immersion in disarray.

    Link to the Past, a standard so high,
    Minish Cap and Ocarina of Time, oh my!
    They set the bar for what Zelda should be,
    A rich tapestry of lore and adventure for thee.

    A sequel awaits, skepticism in hand,
    Will Call of Duty gameplay next invade this land?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game did not live up to the hype.
    Some disappointments:
    - A lot of recycled game mechanics from botw. It feels more like a DLC than a whole new game.
    - The introduction is too long, linear and tedious. This ruins replay-ability.
    - The construction-type game mechanic feels a lot like actual work, with a poor interface. If you do 3D modeling as a day-time job, playing this game is not relaxing nor entertaining. Much rather get back to work. It feels very off in a Zelda game.
    - The game is nearly unplayable for people with limited spatial awareness.
    - Storyline doesn't provoke progression.
    - Deviating from the storyline is unrewarding.
    - The vast spectrum of weapons and abilities makes for an overcomplicated play-style.
    - Seems to target a very young audience.    … Expand

    Unfortunately like BOTW, this game falls short of everything that makes Zelda magical; it's all hype and fluff, with no substance. If you just want to play a sandbox game on hardware from 7 years ago with graphics to match, sure get this game. But if you are looking for an epic Zelda adventure this is not it.

    An evolved emphasis on the world and it's progression through time, Tears of the Kingdom is the direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, but I couldn't help but feel it fell short of what I expected given six years of development polish.

Something about it is lacking the magic that Breath of the Wild had, be that because Breath of the Wild exists or because it's hardly a completely unique game in it's own right, Tears of the Kingdom doesn't come close to justifying the cost of it's development time in my opinion.

    Breath of the Wild's approach, while lacking in some areas of the overworld, kept you grounded and involved in navigating the world itself. Tears of the Kingdom wants you to skip it by creating any amount of vehicles to navigate over those some obstacles. Because of this, and the quality of other entries in the Zelda franchise, I don't feel that Tears of the Kingdom is necessarily better than Breath of the Wild, it's just more of it.

    That said, it's deeply enjoyable if you cast aside your experience with Breath of the Wild, the cast, voice acting, story implication and gameplay still chalk up to be the new standard for what Zelda games and open world games should aspire to. I just hoped for something more unique.    … Expand

Faulty releases of modern games is a mainstream now and most of the games are released in a very bad technical condition, even no point to say about other aspects...

    Fortunately at least some game makers still can make a good quality game and it is not only about the graphics but overall. In my opinion "The Tears of The Kingdom" is a great sequel of a great game, the quality of the game is very good and I love attention to details , this is rare thing in modern games.

    The rest of the game makers should take Zelda BOTW/TOTK as an example and finally understand that the gameplay is the most important thing in a game, just a cool picture is not enough, it should be interesting to play first of all and a game must work well on release!

    To be honest, I don't understand the outrage of people who say that this game has old graphics. Did you expect that Switch will magically get an additional graphics card with the release of the new Zelda?
    Considering the size of this game, the developers have done an incredible work to make make it so well.

    I agree that not everything is absolutely perfect in this game but I'll put the highest score as some little issues doesn't make any troubles and most likely will be fixed soon.

    This game is not a DLC, there is a plenty of a new interesting content, new features and ideas, it is huge and awesome. Don't listen anyone who is moaning that it is a full price DLC, it is not true, If you are the BOTW fan you will love this game!    … Expand

    Also something I’m glad to see is a lot more unique enemies and bosses as that was one complaint I had with Botw. Another complaint I had with Botw was weapon durability which fusing has somewhat helped to Negate and it also allows for some really cool weapons.

    Overall yes Botw layered the ground work and this game couldn’t happen without it but this game took that open world masterpiece of a formula and damn near perfected it so I’m glad to say this is easily in my top 5 favourite games of all time and the best Zelda game.

    Just another Hyrule simulator. No gameplay, no items to unlock, and no real dungeons. It's depressing that it's been over a decade since a playable TLoZ game has been released.

    ・Overwhelming lack of tutorials and terrible controls
    Characters who have forgotten about the protagonist
    ・Cid, who didn't bother to mention the existence of the betrothed despite our deepening friendship
    ・Zelda takes over Link’s home

    While there are various dissatisfactions, the worst aspects are the story and the excessive focus on Princess Zelda.

    Zelda's motives for her actions continue to lack any genuine love for the people. She has become even more self-centered and self-absorbed. I can't find even a trace of willingness to help her. It all feels like a contrived and convenient happy ending.　
    I have loved all the previous Zeldas, but this one is just unbearable.

While it is visually appealing, as it is beautiful, most of the time is spent running and climbing mountains, which can get boring. Also, the rapid breaking of weapons forces the player to avoid fights, which themselves are useless since they drop no interesting loot. The map is huge, but empty, both in the air, in the dungeons and the base, which means a large amount of time spent waiting to start a mission. Fighting enemies can be frustrating, taking time to figure out what's actually going on, without there being a way to switch objectives between enemies. Also, enemies can kill the player with one shot and there is no level gauge, increasing the difficulty level. In summary, the 10/10 rating is excessive compared to the boredom that characterizes the game.… Expand

    MIDDLE OF THE GAME: 4/10
    It is the same game as BOTW. Same places. The sky islands are not nearly as compelling as they seem at the beginning. The sounds effects, animations, music, and themes of each area are literally copy and pasted. The only really fun part of the game other than exploration was the leadup to the Wind Temple. The shrines get boring as hell. I was skipping them after I got the stamina wheel up a bit. It is the same game.

    MORE CONS: The vehicles in the depths sometimes don't even work (tire traction, too many hills for vehicles to roll, wing vehicles dont last long, etc... it felt like a CHORE.

    END: 9/10
    The ending sequences and boss fights are imaginative and emotional. Maybe one of the best endings of a zelda game. However, it does not compensate for the drab and dull midgame, which is essentially a DLC of BOTW.

    Conclusion: If you don't play this game, you won't really miss out on a ton, unless you like building and seeing which devices do what. I found the devices and builds served little utility throughout the game. You can survive with the same combat as BOTW... which, was already really basic. None of the bosses were that tough if you spent a decent amount of time in BOTW, which we all have.

    The dungeons were still clunky and no better than BOTW. Let's all move on. BOTW had a good run.

If it was not for the whole construction mechanics this game would not be even consider to be innovative in any way.

I had my concerns going into this game, specifically regarding it losing its magic because its on the same Hyrule map as BOTW, and potentially over focusing on the building aspects that were covered in the previews. While the map of Hyrule is largely the same, it feels fresh and exciting to traverse the similar terrains. Following the events of the first game, while the outline of the terrain is similar, it feels very much like a new world to explore. In a way, it made it exciting to revisit the same areas to see how they were changed from the first game - I'm not saying this as a biased Zelda fan, if you enjoyed the first game, it truly is exciting to explore the world in this game. My other concern about the focus on the building is also not an issue, I was worried that it would take away from the exploration that I expect out of a Zelda game and turn it into a Lego game. This is absolutely not an issue, and they did a truly impressive job of allowing you to play the game your way. If you were one of the people that were really into the physics of BOTW, then this game added a ton of content for you, but if you're someone who enjoyed walking and exploring like myself, you can still do that with minimal tapping into the building physics. Truly the strongest element of this game is the ability to go about it your way. Most often there is no single correct solution to a puzzle - you just given the tools and you solve it your way, which in my opinion is far better than the awful direction that most puzzle games have gone over the recent decades where the is only ONE solution and instead of focusing on finding a solution, you are focused on thinking like the developer. They really made the shrines and puzzles fantastic in this game, and they were already pretty fun in the last game. The exploration in this game is really the best in gaming. BOTW was perfect as it was, but in hindsight there were a lot of areas that felt a bit empty. This game filled out the world to the point where you will reroute your path more times than you can count because you’re constantly getting distracted with side quests, hidden caves, interesting landmarks, random NPCs, enemy bases, etc. Although this uses the same map as BOTW, the entire world feels completely different and very well filled out. I’m 45 hours in and I have only completed one of the four main temples, probably explored 20% of the overworld map, explored a few of the sky areas (which to be fair, are a bit sparse), and only spent 30 minutes in the underworld. Depending on your play style, this will easily be a 100+ hour game (obviously you can rush through it much faster), possible 150-200, and it will truly fly by. It’s not a drag to force yourself through, it’s just satisfying exploration that is not replicated in any other game. That’s not to say other games don’t have fantastic exploration, but none of them have this sense of personal adventure like this one.

    Everything that made BOTW great is present in this game. The graphics aren't the highest caliber but they are absolutely beautiful. The sound design is flawless, still among the best I've ever experienced in a game - its a beautiful balance of silence and ambient noises and very peaceful and nonintrusive piano music. The story is far more expansive and engaging than the previous game, which I found to be one of the weakest parts of BOTW. This game is absolutely among one of the best I have played. I can tell because from the first two hours of exploring the world post-tutorial, I already thought to myself that I didn't want the game to end. I want to take my time, I want to stop to explore things, I want this game to last. Its a masterpiece. The best open world game out there. I’m usually a harsh critic too, check my other reviews.    … Expand

Like botw where they turned physic gimmicks into a core game mechanic, they turned building stuff out of random junk into a mechanic. Sure you can fiddle around all day if you like, but it feels more like a sandbox than an actual fleshed out game. Having to do another set of "shrines" is inexcusable. Almost every reward or treasure chest is some type of consumable that is not special or unique. There are still only 4 "dungeons" that are laughably easy to get through. There is no reward for the time you spend fiddling around or jumping through the lame story's various hoops.
    It's almost like they released botw and then instead of starting another new project, they just decided to continue development on botw. Then towards the end of development, they realized they needed a story and had someone throw one together they could shoe-horn onto the game and all its additional features.    … Expand

    There is a lot to do, but most of it is just the same thing over and over again. This game is all about quantity over quality. Most quests and tasks just feel like busy work; it would probably take me another two hundred hours to try and 100% this game.

Most quests and tasks just feel like busy work; it would probably take me another two hundred hours to try and 100% this game. I would rather have half the amount of stuff to do and instead have significant improvements to the quality of life functions and gameplay mechanics, along with a better story.

    There has been almost no improvements to the gameplay and quality of life from BotW. The game has better frame rate and only experienced slowdown minimally. Of course, most areas are pretty devoid of anything and the new large area feels empty and soulless. I hated that after spending what must have been 60+ hours completely exploring the new area I was given a lame participation trophy instead of something useful or interesting.

    Sure, they added some new land and areas to explore but it gets very repetitive quickly. They add some new clothing but you get so tired of having to change back and forth that you really start to wonder why there is no way to save a couple clothing sets and quick change between them. And while it is nice finding a unique weapon, knowing it will break is always depressing - and I sure wish the Master Sword was stronger in this game. I can barely kill two Moblins with it before it breaks. The only time it actually felt like the Master Sword is during the final battle where the sword can't break. After that fight, I never want to see items breaking in a Zelda game ever again.

    I did enjoy the boss battles but thought there was not enough variation as you end up fighting the same large bosses over and over. I enjoyed the new outfits but hated changing every five seconds. I also disliked how many items you needed to upgrade the clothing. I don’t want to spend hours farming the same thing over and over again.

    The game does have some cool battles, events, and scenery, and I really did enjoy the final boss fight, but that doesn't excuse the tediousness, repetition, and the lack of gameplay and quality of life Improvements. I also wish the story was more consistent with the first game.

    It is really frustrating how they seem to change parts of the lore around from BotW and almost never reference or have anyone try to connect what is happening in TotK to what happened in the Breath of the Wild. While there are interesting parts to the story, it is difficult to feel the same sense of emotion and connection as in the first game. The story does feel inferior and 90% of the interesting characters and stuff that is here, well they were already here from BotW.

    Tears of the Kingdom is not a bad game per-say, it’s ok and fine for a time sink if you have nothing better to do. I really think they should have had the sequel take place outside of Hyrule or have a Dark-World variation like in A Link to the Past to help break up the monotony. Don’t go in thinking you are getting some great improvement over Breath of the Wild. I actually think the game is a downgrade.    … Expand

    This game wildly surpassed my expectations in less than an hour. It pushes to its limits what BOTW established and manages to feel entirely separate from the previous game even with the same overworld map.
    The story is so thrilling and captivating, easily on par with previous Zelda gamer, exploring already established characters as well aa fascinating discoveries of the brand new cast.

    The gameplay is accessible to all gamers, more challenging than any Zelda, putting Link’s new abilities in the spotlight and making sure that none ever goes long without being useful. At the same time, certain environment fully take advantage of darker and more fear/inducing elements that serve as a nice contrast to an often very light hearted series, even when dealing with very serious matters.

    LA LEYENDA DE ZELDA: LÁGRIMAS DEL REINO
    Enlace en una isla del cielo en Tears of the KingdomNINTENDO
    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom es el regreso de la aclamada serie de acción y aventuras, y muchos esperan que esté a la altura de las altísimas expectativas.



    Crear una secuela digna de uno de los títulos más aclamados por la crítica del siglo XXI no es tarea fácil, pero seis años después del lanzamiento de Breath of the Wild, Nintendo lo ha hecho. Tears of the Kingdom no solo está a la altura de la exageración voraz, sino que también forja un nuevo camino, utilizando los cimientos establecidos por su predecesor como un trampolín e impulsando la serie a mayores alturas.

    El artículo continúa después del anuncio.

    El material de marketing inicial dejó a algunos fanáticos preguntándose si Tears of the Kingdom podría crear una identidad por sí mismo debido a las evidentes similitudes con Breath of the Wild. Afortunadamente, puedo decir que Tears of the Kingdom no es solo una actualización expansiva de un juego que ya es excelente, sino que va más allá.

    Eiji Aonuma y su excelente equipo de desarrolladores han empujado los límites aquí, invitando a una mayor creatividad y libertad de los jugadores. Es hora de prepararse para una aventura inolvidable, donde el cielo es verdaderamente el límite.

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Detalles clave

    Tráiler de The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Una historia sencilla llena de encanto.
    Teniendo lugar varios años después de Breath of the Wild y el asesinato de Calamity Ganon, Tears of the Kingdom vuelve a sumergir a Link en su batalla cíclica con el Rey Demonio Ganondorf. En esta ocasión, un evento extraño conocido como la Agitación ha llevado a una serie de sucesos extraños que se manifiestan en todo Hyrule.

    Han surgido santuarios y ruinas de Zonai, acompañados de las islas del cielo que flotan sobre Hyrule. Misteriosos abismos han abierto el suelo y los cambios climáticos extremos han provocado cambios en los paisajes regionales. Además, la plaga conocida como Gloom infesta el mundo y el armamento hyliano.

    Link mirando a Hyrule desde una isla del cielo
    NINTENDO
    Las Islas del Cielo están llenas de muchos misterios.
    La princesa Zelda ha vuelto a desaparecer, lo que empeora aún más las cosas. Este es el mundo en el que Link se encuentra, ya que se queda para reconstruir todo y salvar el día. No diré más para preservar la experiencia, pero me sentí atraído por la historia, especialmente cuando se trataba de volver a visitar rostros familiares y ver cómo habían crecido en los años posteriores a la caída de Calamity Ganon.

    Una de las mayores quejas en torno a Breath of the Wild fue su historia mínima. Nintendo ha solucionado esto con su último lanzamiento, creando una de las narrativas más sólidas que hemos visto en un juego de Zelda desde Skyward Sword. Si bien la historia de Tears of the Kingdom no reveló una narrativa compleja con temas emocionales profundos, su historia atemporal del bien contra el mal tiene suficiente conocimiento carnoso para saciar incluso el hambre de los fanáticos de Zelda más voraces.

    El artículo continúa después del anuncio.

    Una clase magistral de creatividad
    Cada vez que juego Tears of the Kingdom, recuerdo constantemente las horas que pasaría creando aeronaves improvisadas en BotW. Colocando octoglobos al azar en troncos de árboles y cajas, solo para quedar decepcionado cuando las esferas carnosas estallarían inevitablemente, y mi sueño de volar por los cielos se encontraría con la aplastante realidad de la pantalla Game Over.

    Incluso entonces, estaba claro que Nintendo había plantado la semilla de estas ideas innovadoras, pero aún no las había nutrido realmente. Avance rápido seis años, y Tears of the Kingdom no solo pone a la vanguardia los vehículos y dispositivos creados por los jugadores, sino que sube el dial al máximo.
    El artículo continúa después del anuncio. This is thanks to the Ultrahand ability, which enables Link to use Hyrule like his own personal IKEA, effortlessly assembling items found in the overworld together. During my 90-hour playthrough, I created makeshift cars, hot air balloons, airships, hovercrafts, and even rudimentary mechs. The possibilities are almost endless, and while the game offers a handful of example builds, the limitations are only tied to your own creativity.    … Expand

    One of the greatest games of all time. The map is huge, easily more than twice the size of BOTW map, and there are so many things to do I doubt it's even possible to 100% it in less than a year.

    I cannot imagine that Nintendo would do such a disgusting thing that disallow players to find funny mechanisms/bugs to make game more happy, this update ruins the efforts from so many players who have much craze on this game and the blueprint gameplay, and I just can not figure out why they do such a decision: even though you think such mechanisms are bugs, they will definetely not affect the players who play this game in normal way while they enhance the experience of builders and extends the ability of blueprint. But they still ban players from explore this game world. So for what? Why they decide to make such a bad update? This game is of score 9, but the update version 1.2 just got -3 points from me.
    The last company which do such things in my memory is Billizard, and it just publish series of worst games after that, and I do not want to see Nintendo goes on the same way, so if the employee of Nintendo can see it, just rethink your update, do not be over-confident, and bring the right of exploring in the fancy world back to the players.    … Expand

    Nintendo has fallen far from grace. This game actually looks like a Wii game from 2007, and the faded ugly color scheme is an eyesore. Building mechanics are laughable, everything bad from BotW has returned but worse.

    Please bring back the old Zelda games, items, dungeons, fun bosses and eccentric characters are what have made Zelda what it *was* for 35 years.

    Orientar el producto de cara al público que lo va a consumir puede llegar a marcar la diferencia en cuanto a como lo va acoger el público. Esto lo acaba de demostrar Nintendo al vendernos un producto cuya experiencia jugable es un 70% igual que la de su predecesor, Breath of the Wild, y que aún así, la mayoría de la comunidad lo este nombrando goty.
    Para conseguir esto, se centraron en mejorar lo que la comunidad más amaba del primer título, la libertad de poder hacer las cosas de diversas y curiosas formas. Con las nuevas mecánicas añadidas, consiguen multiplicar estás posibilidades de forma astronómica, que ya de por si no eran pocas. Rápidamente la comunidad empezó a llenarse de videos con las formas más absurdas de completar los santuarios, de las construcciones más bizarras imaginables, de formas rebuscadas de derrotar enemigos etc.
    Esta parte es maravillosa y reconozco que lo han hecho muy bien, pero una vez te cansas de hacer cochecitos y te pones a ver más cosas del juego, te das cuenta de que estás jugando de nuevo a Breath of the Wild.

    -Alerta Spoiler-

    Puede parecer una exageración pero no lo es. Una vez aterrizamos en hyrule, nos mandan a los 4 mismos puntos donde se desarrolla la historia principal del primer juego, y no contentos con eso, cuando decidí empezar por la zona de los zora, llegó allí y la primera misión que me mandan es subir a la misma montaña a la que te mandan subir en esa misma misión del BOTW, sublime.

    A partir de este punto el juego empezó a aburrirme, no conseguía estar más de una hora jugando por lo que termine dejandolo.

    Esto nos lleva a la hora de calificar el juego. Intrínsecamente el juego no es malo, dado que el primero es un juegazo, por lo que esté al ser lo mismo con un par de mejoras, aún lo va a ser más.

    El problema es la experiencia de juego, que como ya he dicho antes, cuando dejas de jugar a los bloques de Lego, empieza a aburrir. Empieza a aburrir porque te encuentras haciendo lo mismo que hace 6 años y que no se molestaron ni en modificar pequeños detalles.

    Bien jugado, Nintendo.    … Expand

    BotW was 10/10 in my opinion. It brought on something new and fresh. Tears of the Kingdom is reusing the same world, music and most assets from BotW. It feels, as several others have pointed out, like a DLC for BotW. I would have given it a higher score if the game was priced reasonably, but it's not ($70 for a "DLC").

Obviously, like everybody after playing BOTW, which was really nice (with its own flaws, some big some small), I was pretty excited about the sequel. Instead we got BOTW again with some extra stuff, that was not interesting or fun at all.

    First of all the extra maps, skies and depths, are a chore (besides the very first island when you begin the game). The depths look ALL the same and there is almost nothing to do there. Very boring. If you have found 2-3 Yiga clan places in the depths, its like you have seen all of them, cause they are the same. They even give you the same 2 rewards, the yiga scheme and one of these zonai things. Such a lazy job by the devs. The same counts for the mines btw. The same with the skies, almost nothing interesting to do besides moving the crystal to a shrine. Everything super repetitive and gets a chore pretty quick.

    If you have discovered 2-3 caves in the main map, it is as if you have seen already all the caves of the game cause they are the same. If you got 5-6 korok seeds, its like you have gotten/seen all of them, cause they are pretty much all the same. The wells? All the same. Very repetitive and extremely boring. The bosses are supereasy, all of them. Horse is not needed cause you can fly everywhere through the towers. The story is super lame and not interesting at all. NPCs are super repetitive, every NPC saying the same stuff all the time. Another thing: Zeldas character is not likable at all (Link.. I am waiting for you... grrrr super cringe and they should change that whiny voice actor as well asap). The main map? Exactly (!!) the same as BOTW with some extra stuff added on top of it in very few places so it doesnt appear at first glance exactly the same, even though it is. There isnt this nice wonder of exploration, you already know everything, its like playing BOTW again, which is a big no-no cause I spent already hours and hours exploring that place. Why should I do it again? I really wanted to stop playing a few times and uninstall the game but I was not giving my hopes up, hoping that something good will eventually happen ..to no avail.

    Weapons break again after 5-6 hits the most, so it is not worth doing any missions or whatever hands you a weapon. The new powers are.. well.. average. The ultrahand gets tedious pretty quick. Even if you have the patience to build a flying machine.. it breaks again after half a minute or so in the air lol I mean, the game is laughable. Then you have the sign-guy here and there, having to do again the same and the same.

    This game would only be worth playing (maybe..) if there has never been BOTW. But since BOTW exists, just play BOTW, which is obviously a much better game (in case you have never played any of these 2 games). The enemies? The same as BOTW, minus the guardians, plus a couple of new ones in the skies (these robots) and these gloom hands that grab you. I dont understand how Nintendo had the nerve to release such a piece of sh.. honestly. They should be ashamed of themselves and, like many said, sell it as a BOTW DLC for 20-30$ the most. Such a super lazy job. I couldnt wait to finish it to not have to touch it again. Ignore all these 10s you see, these are fanatic fanboys under the age of 18 that would give it a 10 regardless of its content, without even having ever played it. What a huge disappointment and rip-off by Nintendo. Six years for that, Nintendo? right..    … Expand

    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.
