    I was worried about this game being just a 70 dollars for Breath of the Wild but i was so wrong, everything in the gameplya is so much fun and it feels like the posibilities are limitless, the story is lovely, i dont get why so many people argue about that, i think they want some dark movie instead of this fun videogame, i would definitively recommend anyone to play it.

    I really like what they have done with the game and this is no DLC to Breath of the wild, Breath of the wild was the demo for Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo really has outdone them selves with this game.

    Most useful glitches from BOTW are patched in TOTK, but it still has a few glitches inside. Overall this game is one of the GOATs

    THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A FCKNG SEQUEL. Nintendo knew how to leverage the mechanics of Breath Of The Wild and making them better. This is GOTY by far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People need to understand that this game is a direct sequel to the previous zelda, breath of the wild. Of course every sequel will try to maintain some aspects of the old one and bring new things in. And that's exactly what this game did. All the new mechanics are cool and change the perception of the world you had with BOTW. The dungeons are absolutely nice, a little short, but creative. Loved the thematic. The bosses surprised me, some of them are more Than "hit-the-eye-new-zelda-like". And the music is gorgeous, you can clearly hear the new themes and the old ones.

    But my complaint is about the game being a direct sequel and doesn't connecting too much with BOTW, where are the divine beasts? All the sheikah tech and what's the relation to Calamity Ganon? Loved the story of this one, even though it felt like Ocarina Of Time 2, Ganondorf was the perfect villain.    … Expand

    this game isnt a sequel to botw, its what botw could have been. i feel like the story doesnt have much if any connection to botw (unless im misremembering (its been 5 years)) but works perfect as a standalone title as it doesnt rely on you knowing much from botw. the new abilities are great though i do miss revalis gale and stasis. fusion in particular makes the game completely different.this game isnt a sequel to botw, its what botw could have been. i feel like the story doesnt have much if any connection to botw (unless im misremembering (its been 5 years)) but works perfect as a standalone title as it doesnt rely on you knowing much from botw. the new abilities are great though i do miss revalis gale and stasis. fusion in particular makes the game completely different. the main layout of the game was near identical to botw to begin with, but took a turn once you completed the first 4 temples which was well done and needed. challenge was fine though i wouldnt expect much from a game meant for literal children. music was great as always but nothing superbly outstanding. performance wasnt great but this is problem with a lot of newer switch games as it is running on a near 7 year old system. despite the drawbacks it has, this game is and most likely will still be one of the best games of the year if not decade.… Expand

    Gameplay is amazing. Did not encounter frame drops and/or bugs so far.
    It is quite impressive that it runs so good in an outdated system like the Switch.

    For me, this is GOTY 2023 and I rest my case.

    Even though I feel like I've only scratched the surface about this games mechanics and world, TOtK takes BOtW and expands upon it while also making the game feel almost completely fresh.

Although I do wish the main world was a complete new map, I understand Nintendo was experimenting and thankfully with the sky world and other new locations allows the game to feel fresh enough.

    Regarding fps, yes the game runs at 30fps but then again so do many other switch games... so instead of critiquing the game, critique the switch. TOtK runs shockingly well with only minor lag spikes when opening up your ultrahand and the cell shaded art allows the game to look stunning.

    One serious critique I do have with the game though is HOW HARD THE FONTS ARE TO READ SOMETIMES... Instead of keeping UI menus the same from BOtW... TOtK decides to make more light coloured ui elements with also brighter fonts requiring me to squint my eyes to fully read certain things on the screen.

    Back to positives, TOtK expands on combat from BOtW by allowing you to fuse things to your equipment to add extra offense or defense. Sadly you can't unattach these things without destroying the object that is attached to it but I think thats to prevent people from taking heavy objects easily across the map by simply attaching it to a shield or something.

    TOtK is well worth the investment as much as BOtW was back in 2017. If you enjoyed BOtW you will definitely enjoy it's sequel near to the same amount or even greater.    … Expand

    TOTK was exceptionally better than BOTW. More expansive, better story, longer main story content, fantastic improved weapon system, and most importantly it actually felt like a Zelda game this go around. 9/10. However my biggest gripe, korok seeds!

    In future entries please remove things like korok seeds, the sign guy, and how the shrines are carried out. I get that it's a children’s game,    TOTK was exceptionally better than BOTW. More expansive, better story, longer main story content, fantastic improved weapon system, and most importantly it actually felt like a Zelda game this go around. 9/10. However my biggest gripe, korok seeds!

    In future entries please remove things like korok seeds, the sign guy, and how the shrines are carried out. I get that it's a children’s game, but the puzzle experience behind these trivial things were just tedious and ultimately unrewarding. I felt Shrines, signs, and seeds were forced tutorials that you had to play through for their mediocre rewards. At this point I kinda miss that heart gems were just findable in cave, the puzzles of those I mentioned above were simply demeaning and time wasting (korok seeds especially). I get it, put the thing in the thing, get the thing to the thing, which translates to stop what your adhd focus is on and do this thing instead so you forget and wander around aimlessly after you’re done. One thing that could remedy this is to instead make the weapon storage more reliant on rare ingredients that you must find in all corners of Hyrule to check the box of needing a player to traverse as much of the map as possible. You could reward players for picking up every rock by finding exclusive ingredients like this. As for sign guy, just don’t… for the shrines make caves this type of puzzle and instead of bubbelgems make the reward heart pieces. You already got rid of Sheika shrines, might as well put caves where they were and call it a day!

    In contrast, I felt the best puzzle experiences were the riddles, armor caves, and random discoveries scattered throughout hyrule (though some of those could’ve packed better rewards than **** like sapphires and ****ty weapons). These experiences felt mystical and gave me the feeling I was actually discovering something no one else had. It was absolutely an enjoyable experience!

    Another thing I enjoyed was the refreshing new enemies and the return of familiar Zelda baddies. It padded out the roster that grew stale in BOTW. Even though these enemies got pretty boring after a while, I found it was enough to make an enjoyable experience filled with enough novelty to keep things interesting. The size of the game is also impressive for only 16gb of space. There are pretty much 3 maps to explore! One of them is filled with much of the same content, but it makes for a good pallet cleanser to contrast the rest of your exploration through Hyrule if it starts getting stale. The last boss felt like a real Zelda last boss, although the challenge isn’t really there. I remember some of the Zelda last bosses actually being difficult before in games before BOTW. The difficulty of this game is very high in the beginning but diminishes to severally easy once you make it past the midpoint of understanding the basic concepts of each aspect of the game from cooking, building, and fusing. That’s a big weakness, but one I don’t have an answer for except that you should make the difficulty scale with the power ups. All in all I had a fun time, even though I collected everything and felt a pang of betrayal at the lack of rewards for all my troubles. I felt the most rewarded for completing all the main story content though, and I feel the game shines with it. (My last small gripe is the a jab at the cutscenes for completing each of the big main milestones in the game… they are all the damn same… what a missed lore opportunity.)    … Expand

    Many have their criticisms with this game on the basis that it reuses assets and feels like botw DLC. I completely disagree.

In fact, since botw was such a great game, it might be for the best that we get the same major elements in a vastly newer light. And this game is indeed REALLY fun. Not one moment do you feel like you have to go searching for something new to do, like what sometimes happens in the botw late game. Just following the main story opens up infinite branches of adventures, and each branch leads to new adventures just as exciting. The map, while technically the same, is changed to such a degree that exploring it feels brand new again. That's not to mention the entire depth map (as detailed and as large as Hyrule), which is plenty to satisfy that need to discover a completely new world. If I had to say something negative of this game, it would be that the skies could be expanded further, especially considering how heavily it was featured in the marketing. However, if the only core complaint of this game is that there isn't enough of it, I think that only goes to show how amazing it is.… Expand

    Even though people say it's the same as botw it's not it is a whole new game it may have some of the stuff in it but a lot of games that have a squeal have that. I have played over 100 hours on it and I can't stop exploring everything finding new costumes and doing side quests and killing a lot of mini bosses. To wrap this all up is just buy it

    Tears of the Kingdom is everything Breath of the Wild needed to be. The beginning is longer, but it feels so rewarding when you finally get past it. The ability to create anything you want is necessary. I do not understand anyone who does not like this game. Easy 10/10, would go 100/10 if I could.

Only held back by a poor story, slight dips in frames, and subpar graphcs for the modern age. However this game rises above all expectations and provees my Legend of Zelda is the Goat amazing. +1 point for Purrah

Cualquier cosa que pueda imaginar es un aspecto a destacar. No te sientes jugando Breath of the Wild y sí se siente como otro juego pero también se siente la nostalgia de Breath of the Wild en algunas cosas, sin duda Nintendo supo perfectamente qué eliminar y qué dejar en este juego. Las nuevas habilidades de Link y el uso de la tecnología Zonnan hace que se sienta una finalidad en el juego totalmente distinta a su precuela y que explotes tu creatividad. La exploración es inmensa y el mapa no se siente repetitivo, la implementación del cielo y del subsuelo es perfecta. El subsuelo le da el toque tétrico que representa a Ganondorf y su historia es espectacularmente hermosa. La historia es tan hermosa que te puedes adentrar en su papel y al cabo de cierto punto puede hacer llorar a cualquiera. Ganondorf representa lo que ha sido en todos los juegos y se siente verdaderamente como un villano perfecto, representa al 100% el odio y la maldad encarnada en un ser pero a su vez es un verdadero genio, él logra un aspecto tétrico lo cual lo complementa con el subsuelo. Su maldad te puede hacer llegar a la pelea final con el odio hacia él sin dar tantos detalles. Las misiones secundarias se sienten más desarrolladas y ya no es como si fuera una simple recolección de materiales como en su precuela. El doblaje al español latino es simplemente una carta de amor al doblaje; la voz de Ganondorf genera un sentimiento de lo temible que es un verdadero villano. El fan service es bien usado y no se abusa de él, Nintendo escuchó muchos dolores de cabeza de Breath of the Wild y simplemente lo perfeccionó. Es simplemente el juego perfecto que no se ve cada que transcurra un largo tiempo.

    Simplemente un perfecto ejemplo de que Nintendo aún está a la altura.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. !!!SPOILERS FOR MAIN STORY!!!


    Just the fact that you get put into gameplay at the start of the game so you can adapt to the controls is Awsome, and the discovery of the dried up Ganondorf (I’ll say Ganon for short but I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE) which then wakes up and somehow knows the name of Zelda and Link is so cryptic the first time you get to it, but becomes clear when the game ends. Also Zelda becoming a Dragon and staying one for 1000+ years just to heal up the Master Sword for Link to defeat the Demon King is totally unexpected. The 4 new powers are all useful and almost never situational (I like Recall and Ascend the most) and they let you do all sorts of stuff like having infinite battery on cars [I won’t say how >:)], or visit places you never even dreamed of in BOTW. The sky islands are great to explore, and the depths, while being really dark and scary when you first enter them are somewhat easy to explore since the lightroots are very visible so you have an objective every time you visit it.

    "The Legend of Zalda: Tears of the Kingdom" is an enthralling game that takes players on an epic journey filled with adventure, mystery, and heartfelt emotions. As a fan of the franchise, I was eagerly anticipating this latest installment, and it certainly did not disappoint.

As a fan of the franchise, I was eagerly anticipating this latest installment, and it certainly did not disappoint.

    First and foremost, the game's graphics are absolutely stunning. The attention to detail in the sprawling landscapes, intricate character designs, and vibrant colors brings the world of Zalda to life in a breathtaking manner. Each location is beautifully crafted, inviting players to explore and uncover its secrets. The seamless transitions between different areas further enhance the immersive experience.

    The gameplay mechanics in "Tears of the Kingdom" are both familiar and innovative. The controls are responsive, making combat and exploration fluid and enjoyable. The game introduces new abilities and puzzles that challenge players to think creatively and strategically. The variety of quests and side missions keeps the gameplay engaging, offering a sense of progression and discovery.

    One aspect that truly stands out is the captivating storyline. "Tears of the Kingdom" weaves a tale of heroism, sacrifice, and redemption. The characters are well-developed, each with their own motivations and backstories, which adds depth and emotional investment to the narrative. The game successfully elicits a range of emotions, from moments of triumph and joy to instances of heart-wrenching sadness.

    However, despite its many strengths, "Tears of the Kingdom" does have a few minor shortcomings. Occasionally, the pacing feels uneven, with certain sections dragging on or lacking in substantial content. Additionally, while the game's world is vast and filled with wonders, some players might find it overwhelming or daunting to navigate without sufficient guidance.

    Nevertheless, "The Legend of Zalda: Tears of the Kingdom" is an outstanding addition to the franchise. Its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and captivating storyline make it a must-play for fans of the series and newcomers alike. The game's few shortcomings do little to diminish the overall experience, as its strengths overshadow any minor flaws.

    In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend "The Legend of Zalda: Tears of the Kingdom" to anyone seeking an unforgettable gaming adventure. Embark on this epic journey, wield your sword, and prepare to be immersed in a world that will leave you captivated from beginning to end.    … Expand

The added difficulty of the enemies is great and the return of dungeons and dungeon bosses is really nice. While the game is amazing it doesn’t mean it’s perfect and I still have a few gripes with it. The lack of connectivity between the two games is definitely one of the biggest flaws in my opinion, as well as the low amounts of sky islands. The dungeons, while I’m glad they are back feel kind of the same besides the environment, “activate 4 of this thing and fight the boss” that’s basically it. The sage abilities are also really underwhelming compared to the champion abilities in botw.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TotK is a bit of a let down all things considered. As a complete package I find the game to be alright the pros and cons tend to even out for me. If you enjoyed BotW you'll likely enjoy TotK as its no secret the games are very similar.

    To get the biggest negative out of the way I feel that the combat is a real let down. I wasn't expecting a dramatic change from BotW but it feels like there was no adjustment to how quickly weapons break. The fusion mechanic is alright it just feels to me like an added step in getting weapons that can actually manage to hurt monsters. Both of these factors made me almost always avoid combat whenever possible. To finish off the subject of combat, by the end of the game having more HP felt like more of a problem than anything else. I'm unsure if this is how the game actually works so maybe I'm wrong but the more HP I had the stronger variants monsters were around Hyrule. I spent more than half the game at 5 hearts and it wasn't until I upgraded my HP that I started to encounter more powerful enemies. I always felt like I could die in 3-5 hits no matter how much HP I had.

    Another major problem I have is the story. Not so much as to what happens in the games story but that again all the good parts of the games story happen before the events the player gets to personally experience. While this happens a lot in the Zelda series I feel like almost every game has moments outside of the final battle where a pivotal event takes place. There really is no such event in this game. Outside of the final battle I would argue there is no story development that takes place in this game. You again find memories of the past and help the four races solve an issue with their home which awakens them as a sage to help you in the final battle. Those moments aren't bad and the problems the four races face in this game were interesting its just everything felt disjointed.

    The dungeons overall were better than BotW but in the end they were a bit of a letdown. The airship was the first I went to and I had a very good time with it I found it to be a great experience from getting to the dungeon until defeating the boss. The other three dungeons I cant say the same for once I found out they were all the same thing I tended to not enjoy them. That being said the pyramid was interesting to navigate in my opinion and the worst one by far is the Zora dungeon. You can basically skip doing anything in that dungeon if you try.

    So what would I say is positive about this game? The exploration obviously. Overall the world is fun to explore. It is fun to find shrines, while the shrines aren't amazing they're still fun to do. Overall the best shrines I would say are the ones that have an overworld puzzle to get into the shrine rather than a puzzle inside the shrine. Doing side quests, exploring the world, riding horses or building cards no matter how you choose to go through the overworld its fun. The sky islands are lacking in my opinion but still interesting. The underground unfortunately is a letdown. I did find all the light roots but there's really not much of anything else to do down there aside from the Master Koga questline and the fifth dungeon. There are no shrines in the depths and that's a little sad. You can go the whole game without ever going into the depths aside from the story dungeons. That realistically leaves 90% of the depths empty at least the sky is physically 90% empty and every bit of land you can go to in the sky has something to do. Regardless of that though exploration makes this game fun. Traveling through Hyrule finding shrines, quests, caves, and even the occasional Korok (I cant emphasize occasional enough as looking for more than that is insane.)

    To quickly address the new abilities replacing the old slate mechanics. I thought they were okay overall. Ultrahand is most used and I'm not gonna talk about performance its the switch if your not happy with the performance I don't know what to say we've known the switch is underpowered since 2017. Building things to solve puzzles or vehicles is neat. It wasn't for me though and I actively tried to solve puzzles without it or travel without it. Ascend is the best ability hands down. I already mentioned fusion and I never used blueprints really.

    Overall I'd say I enjoyed the game but it still deserves a six to me. Exploration alone can't save this game. I'm glad people enjoy it and say it's their favorite game but its just not mine. I hope that future Zelda games build from here as it feels like they didn't build from BotW. Adding more world and then not utilizing it. Adding another story you only get to watch rather than experience. It's a letdown. All that being said I enjoyed it and many others will hopefully more than I do.    … Expand

    I wasn't sure how Nintendo would find a way to top their work in Breath of the Wild back when it came out, but I feel they have here – with years of more polish applied and refined exploration. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 71]

    The good thing is that, thanks to the limited possibilities, the creators couldn't go crazy and swing for hundreds of game miles. Instead, they created what could be called Elden Ring in a travel pack. [Issue#328]

    The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has lived up to the high expectations created by the success of Breath of the Wild with its exquisitely intertwined gameplay systems, outstanding music, and a legendary story culminating in a magnificent denouement. It's not every day that such a special video game like this comes around. Truly the stuff of legend.
