    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nobody's here to engage with an extensive academic paper, so I'll swiftly address this matter in a straightforward manner, encompassing both positive and negative aspects (with the negatives referring to elements I personally didn't favor but that don't significantly impact the overall evaluation).

    The Positive:

    If you were a fan of "Breath of the Wild," you'll be pleased to learn that all its mechanics have essentially made a return.
    The fresh runes introduced are, for the most part, quite impressive and inject innovation into exploration.
    While the revamped overworld isn't flawless, I'm willing to acknowledge that the enhancements exceeded my initial expectations.
    The new areas introduced are captivating. Exploring caves and underground spaces is particularly enjoyable.
    The game's designated dungeons, often referred to as such, represent a notable enhancement over the Divine Beasts in the previous installment.
    The Negative:

    If there were elements of "Breath of the Wild" that didn't resonate with you, you might be disheartened to discover that every fundamental gameplay mechanic from the previous game has made a reappearance.
    Employing the Ultrahand for construction purposes (its other functions are acceptable) is frustrating. Straying from the intended construction projects often leads to inefficacy. Opting to construct bridges seems to be the most effective and amusing choice.
    Occasionally, it's evident that certain parts of the game world weren't designed with your expanded toolkit in mind. This is likely due to the fact that these areas were developed with the tools available in the original "Breath of the Wild."
    The narrative is notably subpar. While following the same minimalist narrative approach as its predecessor, it suffers from an even weaker script. Ganondorf's character deserved a more compelling treatment.
    The Less Favorable Aspects:

    Irrespective of the game's nomenclature for them, these "dungeons" don't conform to the traditional Zelda fan's expectations. The Divine Beasts weren't outright disappointing, yet they left me yearning for a more gratifying experience. The dungeons in this installment are essentially refined versions of the Divine Beasts, albeit lacking the unique control mechanics. Nonetheless, they do represent an overall improvement.
    The removal of whistle-sprinting is regrettable. Although it was an unintended glitch that needed addressing, it was undeniably practical for swift navigation. The absence of a replacement for this mechanic is a missed opportunity.
    To summarize, the game is undeniably enjoyable. However, considering the six-year development span and the $70 price point, it's a substantial request for what the final product ultimately delivers. It often feels more akin to an extensive DLC rather than a genuine sequel—not in terms of scale, as the game certainly boasts an expansive scope, but rather in terms of its fundamental essence.    … Expand

    If you're a fan of the Zelda series, you will get tons of nostalgia and good feeling in the little details from Nintendo as always. They've put a lot of time to create this masterpiece even though the hardware can't stand for it much. If you like to explore, creative, and freedom ways to solve puzzles this is the way for you.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un magnífico videojuego, una obra maestra, probablemente el mejor juego del año (ya veremos qué tal sale StarField) y de los mejores videojuegos que he jugado en mi vida sin duda.
    El apartado técnico y gráfico a sido criticado, y con cierta razón, pero hay que recordar que este videojuego corre en una Nintendo Switch, y tiene mérito que una consola de ese tamaño pueda correr medianamente bien este videojuego, con el mapa base, las cuevas, las islas celestes y el subsuelo, que no sabía de su existencia y cuando bajé me llevé una de las sorpresas más gratas que me ha dado jamás un videojuego, la interacción con el mundo es la mejor que he visto en un videojuego, las posibilidades que brindan las mecánicas son infinitas y el diseño de su mundo es simplemente sublime, este apartado para mí lo mejor de éste sin dudas, mas hay cosas que no me gustan del todo, como los campeones, que su uso es tosco, o los menús, que entorpecen y hacen lento el Gameplay, además de que en cada mazmorra te repiten la misma historia con los mismos diálogos una y otra vez, pero más allá de esto todos los demás puntos del videojuego están bien, la historia es bastante mejor que botW, con más cinemáticas, más largas, con más peso e importancia, su antecesor tenía muchas cinemáticas que sobraban, y no puedo decir lo mismo de este, el sonido ha mejorado también, jugar este videojuego con cascos es una gozada, hace de la experiencia algo más atrapante de lo que ya es.
    No es un videojuego perfecto, hay fallos (que son pocos), hay cosas muy buenas (la mayoría) y hay algunos rasgos del título que son inmejorables (mecánicas), pero sin ser un título perfecto mi experiencia si lo ha sido, y me gusta diferenciar esto, una cosa es el juego y otra cosa es tu experiencia con él, el único juego que he jugado y que puedo catalogar como Perfecto es Tetris, y no es de mis videojuegos favoritos.
    En definitiva es un videojuego muy recomendable, si tienes una Switch es una compra obligatoria. Le daría un 9,6 de 10, pero darle un 9 se me hace un poco injusto, redondeando es un 10.    … Expand

    Truly a masterpiece, couldn't stop playing this gem for a few weeks, there's so much to do whether it be on land, in the sky or underground. The temples are a step up from the divine beasts in BOTW imo and the diversity in the bosses. All the crazy new mechanics too are such a nice addition and just make sense. Absolute must play if you enjoyed BOTW or any games from the franchise.

The way this game took the story and world left off from breath of the wild and turned it into something so fresh yet nostalgic is nothing short of phenomenal. They created a story that expands outside of that in the previous game in all directions. The world is deeply enriched not only on the surface with many new shrines, caves, and updated towns, but fully new maps in the sky and depth. One of the most impressive things of all is the physics mechanics build for this game. Zonai devices such as hover stones, stakes, fans, springs, and so much more help the player have the freedom to explore the world and make creations all their own.… Expand

    It's neither really bad nor really good. The same map is used with added empty underground and sky. Graphics have not changed. Most of the time it's very foggy preventing long distance views. The making of your home is a nice touch but could use more customization. The swords and gear constantly breaking is a pain. It has some neat ideas but needs a lot of work. The majority speaks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 三个月，140+小时，当结局CG终于播放完时，我发出了一声混杂着感慨、满足和放松的叹息。

    和前作《旷野之息》相比，这一作多了一段比较充实的前置剧情，既交代了事件起因，也能很好地表现出人物性格和关系。尤其是和前作时隔六年，能再次看到熟悉的塞尔达公主、观察到她与林克之间熟悉的互动细节，让我相当感动。

    可惜这段互动没能持续几分钟。之后魔王苏醒，天地巨变，公主不知所踪。这次再醒来，就是在「新手村」初始空岛上了。这里给我留下的第一印象，就是截然不同的氛围和生态：金黄色的树木和草地，白色的断壁残垣，厚重青铜色的管家魔像和守卫魔像。这些色彩组合在一起，配上一早一晚准时响起的空旷钟声，使得空岛虽然古旧荒凉，却依然不失圣洁之感。

    落到地面之后，熟悉的海拉鲁大地在眼前展开。尽管主要地形和前作相比没发生太大的变化，但是在原来的基础上多出来的错综复杂的洞窟，让地图呈现出了新的样貌。再加上到处都有从天而降或是嵌进山体的巨石，配合上时间倒转、通天术等技能，可以实现人物高度的迅速上升。前作里攀爬起来费时费力的高山，现在不再能成为探索的阻碍，反而成了随时随地发现新惊喜的藏宝地。

    因此，拖慢前进步伐的不再是纯粹的障碍，而是玩家自发的探索欲望，这是我认为《王国之泪》的一个高明之处。更不用提到处散落的各种各样的支线、怪物，以及需要护送的呀哈哈，总有那么几样东西会让你忍不住停下脚步。我一开始是要做什么事来着？我都玩了两个小时了为什么还在做别的事？——在海拉鲁大地上向着新的目的地进发时，这样的体验几乎成为了常态，却不会给我留下负面感受，我想就是这个原因。

    当然对于前期孑然一身的林克来讲，更高密度的内容也意味着更高的难度。缺装备、武器差、血量上限低，都降低了战斗的容错率。好在刚刚落地就能迅速抵达的「监视堡垒」是自己人的地方，这里的NPC会永远给予林克支持：床可以免费使用，灶台的火永远燃着，有一些基础的武器可以随时取用，还有数名已经是老朋友的研究员，会为林克指明探索的方向。这些细节都为玩家快速过渡到中期提供了支持。

    在前作《旷野之息》中，认识林克的NPC寥寥无几，所能提供的帮助和指引也比较粗略，从始至终林克都是自由而孤独地四处探索。而到了《王国之泪》，从最开始的「监视堡垒」，我就能明显地感觉到大量的信任、敬意与支持，被这些真诚的情感包围的感觉让我相当满足。

    这种支持感在我遇到第一个讨伐队任务时达到了顶峰。跟着讨伐队一起向怪物营地冲锋时，那种「我不是一个人在战斗」的真切感受差点让我哭出来（好吧，我承认前作里实在是太孤独了）。

    大小和地上区域一样的地底世界，再次给了我不小的震撼，因为这几乎意味着多了一倍的内容量。我也终于明白了为什么有人说「《旷野之息》是《王国之泪》的demo」——相比之下，本作的大地图由一个变为了天空、大地、地底三个，内容更丰富，情节塑造也更饱满，难免给人留下完成度更高的印象。    … Expand

While it uses the same map, this game was in a unique position as a sequel because you get to see the world change and how it’s adapted. The new additions were great with the caves, sky islands, and depths. The sky islands could be more expansive but they’re still impressive. The story is leaps and bounds better than botw and while the voice acting is still meh, it’s much improved from the last game and Matt Mercer kills it as Ganondorf. The actors for Sonia and rarue were also pretty good. The music was incredible. Every new track fits the setting perfectly and the boss tracks are bangers. The regional missions are cool and the temples are far better than the divine beasts. They aren’t traditional dungeons but each one has a unique theme and the puzzles are still fun. The new abilities are also great and add so much to the progression of the game. The durability was made even more fun because of the fuse ability, and being able to make vehicles with untrahand in so cool. The physics are insane and the fact that this game runs on a switch is a testament to the incredible game design. The final boss is the best finale in the Zelda series and looks and plays fantastically. One of the best games of all time, no question.… Expand

Everything feels so overwhelming, and was very confused on why i had to do a lot of seemingly unrelated side quests in order to progress in the main story. I feel like they are called side quests for a reason, they shouldnt be mandatory to finish a game.
    For example: After i got beat by Ganon in my first fight with him i come to realize is was missing a sage (Mineru). Now i need to do a quests that you can find in Kakariko village in order to progress, if you dont get the hint like i did you will search the map for mutiple hours before you know you had to go to kakariko village and do this quest. Now after you do try doing this quests you need to do a lot of side quests in order to get some purah tablet functions (scanner+) so you can find the electric clothing pieces. After hours of tedious boring quests you can finally find the sixth sage and you are ready to fight Ganon.. But in order to know where Ganon is, you got to, you guessed it, do more side missions with the researcher girl in the lookout posts. These are some of the most boring missions ever, where you follow statues for hours in the underground, while you just want to finish the game and kill Ganon. After all these hours of doing boring side quests, you come to realize Ganon was just under hyrule castly.. Why all the sidetracking just to get this information?    … Expand

    It's not a bad game just didn't feel great. I ended up bored with the game after about 30 hours. I am unsure if I will finish it.

    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.
