    Ce jeu est un bon jeux malgré quelques chutes de fps au début sur la zone de départ mais sa contre balance avec le paysage magnifique. se jeux n'est pas un dlc contrairement à certains qui le pense. perso jouer pendant plusieurs heures à se au mieux de le critiquer bêtement parce que il y a plein de nouveautés intéressantes.

    I though it was just a DLC. But No. It's far from my Imagination. Unbelievable. Everything is new. A big world with a lot of secrets. It's the best game of my life until now.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Questo è il reale voto per Zelda tears of the Kingdom. Senza dubbio è un bel gioco e la trama è superiore a precedente capitolo. Però, già c'è un grande però. Anzi, grandi però. I sacrari sono ancora più inutilmente inutili rispetto a botw, i dungeon tanto decantati non ci sono, se non dei labirinti del cavolo e templi con i soliti enigmi del cavolo. Il sistema armi che ancora si rompono, anche più velocemente di prima. Il movimento del cavallo è ancora una merda. Il sistema di combattimento è vecchio di 10 anni e senza ancora un roll o una schivata. Niente. Il sotto mondo è inutile e bah... Inutile è la parola giusta si. Il cucina dopo un po' diventa fastidioso così come il crafting delle cose. Solo che il primo ti serve per creare cibi per l'energia, il secondo è proprio una cavolata. Ah ma tutti si divertono a creare la macchinina, quindi per gli altri è un 10. Allora perché ho messo 8? Perché è botw con una trama bella. Più di 8 questo gioco non può avere. Expand

    Le premier épisode s’est hissé à mon top 1 de mes jeux préférés de tous les temps. Cette suite me faisait peur car comment faire mieux voir aussi bien. Eh ben je ne suis pas déçu. Nintendo a une inventivité folle et le plaisir de jeu est incroyable par la richesse de son gameplay de la possibilité des approches avec un level design aux **** oignons. Un nouveau chef d’œuvre.

    Previously, there were only 2 other games that I couldn't stop discovering, DOS2 and Elden Ring, but the feeling of playing Zelda: TOTK is still a great experience. This is my first time playing a Zelda game, I haven't even played Zelda: BOTW. I should have experienced Zelda sooner.

The change these "players" haven't even played more than 10 Min or even at all is really high. Zelda BOTW shocked the player immediately and forcefully. Tears of the Kingdom does the same with depths and SENSE OF PLACE I have never encountered before. Is that a reason this game is having high scores? Maybe yes, and maybe it is such a majestic masterpiece it takes patience and time to be understood. (Maybe a bit of brain too, but we know that is lacking in all review bombers). Expand

    I'm a huge Zelda fan. I've already played for over 60 hours, and WHAT A GAME! I've completed 67% of the shrines, collected over 100 Korok seeds, explored 90% of the map, and completed half of the dungeons. It will probably take me another 60 hours to finish all the shrines and complete the game.

    Pros (in comparison to Breath of the Wild):
    *The gameplay is more enjoyable.
    *The map is significantly larger.
    *The cinematics are amazing and have improved a lot.
    *The dungeons feel almost like proper dungeons again.
    *There is a greater variety of shrines.
    *New map bosses and a plethora of new weapon possibilities through fusing.
    *Overall, I estimate it to be 20% better than BotW.

    Cons (related to the Zelda genre):
    *While the game boasts impressive art and visuals, its appearance is becoming outdated and falls short in comparison to BotW's market at launch.
    *The dungeons are still short and easy.
    *The dungeon bosses are easy and lack clever design.
    *There are practically no moments of hard thinking or struggle.
    *The depths feel somewhat repetitive, and their design is not very appealing.
    *I miss some of the old items, particularly a musical instrument and hook shot.
    *Many Zelda fans are concerned that Nintendo might completely abandon the old genre, especially 2D. But please, Nintendo, don't do that! Keep both styles! A Link Between Worlds was amazing!

The music has vastly changed, in spite of what many reviews seem to be saying. It does keep motifs from previous games and a similar style to breath of the wild, but it is new and very well composed. The enemies have the perfect amount of health and scaling to make them fun to fight time and time again, and there’s TONS of enemies not seen in breath of the wild. Not only this, but the rewards for fighting enemies are far better than any in breath of the wild, and contributes to the gameplay loop. I can’t decide which rune is my favorite or the most useful because they are all incredibly useful in their own ways. All very well designed. As of right now the two places I feel it could improve are story and dungeons (keep in mind I have not fully played through either of these things yet). However, the dungeons are vastly improved from botw. All around a great game, tons of fun to play. Expand

Before playing Tears of the Kingdom, I played through Breath of the Wild again and although Hyrule is still Hyrule, it doesn't even remotely feel like the same map. Don't get me wrong, some games deserve negative reviews be it for lack of quality or original content (or overall performance) and even some of my absolute favorite franchises have deserved this negative attention recently, but Tears of the Kingdom is not one of those games. I'm convinced people just want a reason to hate a game that does well. (Keep in mind, people want a reason to hate ANYTHING that does well, not just games. It's human nature.)
    Expect anyone who gives this game a good rating to be called a "NiNtEnDo FaNbOy" for actually enjoying a well made game by the few review bombers out there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll keep it short and sweet. This game is very good, it is not great. The things it does well it does VERY well. Ultrahand ability is pretty fun to play around with, a little clunky at times, but fun. The fuse ability was a waste of development time. Scrolling through a list of materials 600 times just to find the one thing I need to shoot a very specific type of arrow gets old super fast, you then have to choose it over and over again for EVERY arrow that you are shooting. Fuse could have been left out and no one would have really cared in my opinion. A lot of the same assets, a lot of changes to the over world to keep it somewhat fresh, but not anything substantial. The sky islands can also be almost completely avoided other than what you have to do to progress the story. The depths are a half baked minecraft deep dark clone that also could have been left out. Let me aimlessly walk around in the dark and look for light roots while hoping I have enough bloom seeds and having to go through the terrible UI every time I need to pull one out. "Temples" aren't temples, its a fetch quest type thing where you must go find 4-5 things with uninteresting puzzles. Also having to play this at 1080p at 30fps in 2023 is sad, it only gets worse when it can't even keep a steady 30fps. Intense areas will drop you down so far that you can't keep up with what's going on.

    Ganon having character this time around is refreshing, haven't had something like that since windwaker. Final battle and the gauntlet you have to go through to get there was really good in my opinion.

    Having an open world Zelda is great, but for story and progression I wish that it did have some path to it, not linear like Skyward sword, but more "This is the direction you need to head, do that however you feel it needs to be done" not "here's the entire world, go and do".

    8 out of 10. Not perfect, I really do miss real temples the most, but overall a really good game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A faithful sequel to Breath of the Wild. Even though the main locations to the game are the same (with the addition of sky islands and the depths) , it doesn't feel very repetitive. It's like watching the second season of favorite show, you know the characters and the setting but there are twists and turns everywhere, the more you play the more you discover how many things were teased in BoTW. The mechanics allow you to be very creative and try new ways to defeat enemies.
    I would like to have seen more parts of the story , perhaps even get to play as Zelda.

    My main issue: It is quite a bit different from breath of the wild, but mostly in ways that altered the experience in a less than stellar way.

    My main issue: It is quite a bit different from breath of the wild, but mostly in ways that altered the experience in a less than stellar way.

    I literally spent 3 hours trying to get to the shrines in the sky by moving clockwise and climbing the wall above the void and it didn't work.
    Because this was a sequel to breath of the wild, i expected a more open creative starting world but was instead greeted with a much less intuitive quest.
    The starting map is like a puzzle with only a few answers rather than a world where you can choose your own path. I am almost certain this was not an issue for quite a lot of people who enjoy this game, but for me i was very much affected by this change in gameplay.
    The ground world seems to have the exact opposite problem, it feels a lot more barren and much easier to traverse, but the main land quest requires so much backtracking.

    The new tools are boring and extremely janky to function, require so many different buttons to be pressed to use correctly and are much less useful and fun in the environment. When i first played breath of the wild, i could immediately tell that the tools given to me were incredibly fun to play with but these did not follow suit.
    Not to mention the new tool menu is incredibly finicky and i often end up switching to the wrong ability because of this.

    Overall, it definitely feels more like a remix of breath of the wild, and i would be hard pressed to call it any more than that. (still a good game though, but does not at all top botw)
    This is essentially a second quest, with different dungeons, equipment, rewards, enemy placement, and difficulty buffed.
    The original breath of the wild seems fun and interesting but in this game, some of the new major side quests seem oddly paced and QuIrKy to the max, they feel like instead of being made with some sort of intent, they instead made a bunch of hyrule’s bad hair day situations…

    i can tell that this game is an acquired taste, and i would definitely recommend you play breath of the wild to see how much you like the world before buying this, as if you don't there really isn't anything else to look for than more adventures with recurring characters from botw.

It was a meticulous job to run such a game full of freedom on a console that is now at the end of its life cycle. It cannot be denied that Nintendo silenced all the skepticism that existed before the launch and made a title that was at risk of being the classic "more of the same" of which the video game market is already saturated. Long live the courageous developers who want to get involved and innovate.

Rife with new locations, a larger map, more places to go, tons of characters to meet, and more enemies to encounter with astonishing bosses, TOTK is easily game of the year especially for its story. The best part is that the game brings the timeline full circle by being a new converging point for all 3 branches. Not going into spoilers, but play the game if you want to know more especially if you're deep into Zelda lore! Expand

    This game is amazing, though I do think there are some things Nintendo should improve upon. 1) the map
    The map is great with three layers but I do sometimes feel like I’m still playing botw.
    2) the graphics This game has many good quality’s but the graphics aren’t one of them. I really have to squint sometime at the malace monsters sometimes to tell them apart 3) the price I think we can

    Nintendo did really outdo themselves this time I mean just talk about the the voice acting and character design, so creative! but there are hiccups once and a while but the developers are only human.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When you first boot up the game, it doesn't really feel like a whole lot has changed from breath of the wild. It totally has. If you played breath of the wild for a hundred plus hours like I did, the more you pick your way through this version of Hyrule, the more delighted you'll be with just how much has been tweaked and altered and added and filled in in little ways. I'm only maybe 20 hours in, but I'm already wholly satisfied with the $70 I paid for my pre-order, and I don't even think I've done 2% of what's available in the game. There's more than twice the landmass there was in the original game, and all of the landmass that was there in the original is so tweaked and altered that it might as well be a completely different place. This game excels as a sequel, and as a standalones all the game. 10 out of 10. Expand

    The game isn’t perfect, but literally nothing is. This is a great game, the plot isn’t too sound, but the story will stick with me for a long time. Discovering the depths for the first time, crafting new and unique weapons and testing them in battle, discovering fun references and having a full huge multilayered world to discover has been an unforgettable epic adventure unforgettable.

    Anyways, the map is far larger, I myself have spent hours exploring the new depths, which are about the same size as the regular map, not to mention there are also sky islands. I enjoy going to these places and gathering resources that offer interesting mechanics, and fighting in unique and fun combat situations. The normal map is also completely revamped, and at times nearly unrecognizable. I really don’t understand how people are angry about the “reused” map, it’s just plain stupid. I don’t recommend just following the main story, as I had more fun doing things out of order, getting super late game stuff in the early game even was a decision I had a lot of fun with. Overall the story is simple and just kind of cool, there are more stakes this time, and it has some more in depth characters. Nothing too thought provoking or anything, but that’s not what Zelda game stories are about. I personally don’t like the zonai tech too much, but I’m sure plenty of fans will have a great time with it. People who say the durability system isn’t fixed at all are wrong. The problem wasn’t that weapons broke, but that there wasn’t enough incentive to fight when you know your weapons will break, and this game provides far more incentive with the new crafting. Overall this has been one of the most fun and epic adventures in the franchise yet, and overall already one of my favorite games. I hope you play it and just try to have fun instead of nitpick every detail about frame rate or voice acting.

    3. The few “big” side quests were amazing and felt like it had impact (often small) on the world.

    Now let’s see what I didn’t like about Tears of the kingdom:
    1. The story felt like it tried to imitate that of Breath of the wild. And it failed miserably with the memory system feeling forced and it just isn’t interesting in general.
    2. The nature is now littered with ugly dark grey rocks in unnatural square shapes and ugly bright green pictures on the land which make no sense story wise when you think about it even a little bit.
    3. All side quests were meaningless with no impact on the world at all.
    4. The world feels very artificial, with people not talking about the freaking apocalypse that was the upheaval but instead they worry more about things like fashion and traveling across the world… to a scorching hot desert with a constant sandstorm. Nah, they don’t care. Almost as if it doesn’t exist and doesn’t mater. 5. All the regional phenomena stories suck except for maybe the Zora one, that just feels tedious at times.

    the sky may be a bit scarce it works and the main challenge is getting to some of the islands.
    people saying content isnt added are just wrong, ultra hand and ascend completely change the way you play, in breath if u wanted to climb a mountain u would spend 10 mins whistle running, in this game if u take the time to find a cave you can get some useful loot and get to the top of the mountain. the depths are the size of the overworld map and is very rewarding to explore.
    overall, if u rush and do the objectives and treat it like any rpg this game isnt as fun as if u were to treat it as an open world. be brave and fight the bosses and jump into the depths. amazing game.

I loved the new mechanics, especially being able to fuse weapons and build structures. It added a layer of complexity that I truly enjoyed.
