    Its BOTW+ similar concepts and motivation to explore. My only disappointment is that weapons still break, but with the new weapon system it isn't really that bad.

    This game is so good and beautiful with a great story and anyone that says that it's the same game as botw has either not played totk very long or rushed threw the game without spending some time exploring and with the story.
    Btw the endboss is so cool

Com um enredo simples porém extremamente envolvente, o jogo nos apresenta uma das histórias mais sentimentais da franquia junto de uma jogabilidade extremamente inovadora e que nos permite passar horas e horas em Hyrule fazendo jus ao lema "it's science, b*tches!"

    Entretanto, há de se ressaltar que, em alguns momentos, Tears of the Kingdom não difere muito de BotW, especialmente na parte introdutória do jogo, o que pode frustar e/ou afastar jogadores que já jogaram o título anterior. Ainda assim, Tears of the Kingdom faz parte do roll de jogos categorizados como "must-play" do Nintendo Switch!!    … Expand

    What else can be said of the latest entry in the Zelda series? The game is Breat of the Wild, but improved. The building mechanic is just amazing to mess with, the story is amazing and intriguing, with several plot twists. The map is huge.

    A great sequel that greatly changes up the way you play the game. While the game frequently dips below 30fps it never takes away from the fantastic experience. The story, much like Breath of the Wild is lacking for a Zelda game but is still a step in the right direction. Truly a fun game for Zelda fans and newcomers alike!

    Given the way most AAA franchises are treated by studios, with routine and uninspired follow-ons or remakes (looking at you Assassin's Creed), this is a triumph from Nintendo. If you think this is a $70 DLC, or just two DLCs put together due to the sheer size of the world, then I just don't know what you expect out of a video game.

If you think this is a $70 DLC, or just two DLCs put together due to the sheer size of the world, then I just don't know what you expect out of a video game.

    If you didn't like BotW, you won't like this. It has a much bolder storyline with some added creativity that feels like a (close) return to form of the narrative-driven Zelda that I missed in BotW. The world is still an open world, which means most of the side quests are still scattered in pockets – stables, villages, etc. But that was also the remarkable thing about BotW: you really could just go anywhere and they've retained that. But they've added some linearity to how you should progress, which I quite liked.

    The main mechanical difference is the relationship between monster parts, materials, weapon breakability, and rupees with the new Fuse ability. Feels a lot more balanced vs. the hundreds of Bokoblin fangs you could gather in BotW only to be able to use them in...elixirs? A much needed upgrade.

    Main complaints which I overlook for the sheer imagination and scale of this game:
    - Performance is extremely laggy in some areas. And that's with the internal witchcraft Nintendo already has to make this game seamless as possible.
    - The added collectibles. I felt like the orbs and Koroks were enough in BotW. Here, they've added even more and it's what most AAA franchises do to make the game "interesting" after you've beaten the main storyline.
    - The scattered armor sets. I felt like BotW rewarded you for exploring the world, whereas TotK requires you to. Good armor you could purchase, special armor was findable. The sheer size of the world requires many more hours to really find the good armor than probably should be required.

    Many other aspects of BotW were improved: more linear main dungeons, a harder final boss fight, the ability to revisit main dungeon areas, and again, can we talk about that story?

    TL;DR – it makes BotW look uninspired and simple, which is just saying this should be Game of the Year.    … Expand

    This is a perfect sequel, in my opinion. It lives up to its predecessor in every way (except maybe the story) and introduces many new ideas, like the Zonai devices and the different levels of the map. It feels more like a traditional Zelda game than BotW but still keeps the same sense of wonder. One of the best games of all time.

For the 1,000th time. It’d be great if maybe they repeated their tips two or three times tops, then quit after that point.

    The game is nearly a masterpiece to me.

    We’re a sandbox generation, so building contraptions was fun to encounter in a Zelda game, but soon enough there are plenty of portals and towers unlocked for fast traveling between the three layers of the world that the feature isn’t used as much in mid to late game. (Fine with me, tbh, it got too time consuming to build all the time).

    So those Koroks that need to be reunited with their friends? I think maybe 3 or 4 got reunited the first couple days. After that, they’ve been completely ignored. Poor neglected Koroks. LOL. Just too many of them.

    The sky islands and the underground are incredible experiences at first, but they are big and basically empty. I play about 8 hours a week now, and find myself visiting them for quick sessions of grinding as nothing entices me to stick around long. I replayed BOTW many times over the years, but with how ToTK is such a huge game, I don’t see how I’ll care to restart it from the beginning. Maybe that’s why I’m taking my time with all the side quests, knowing this might be my only time through LOL.

    The storyline is more complex, layered, and interactive than BOTW. Rather than the townspeople hunkering in the towns afraid and needing saving from pockets of monsters, they are a bigger part of the story, trying to “help” solve what is going on. There are all sorts of researchers about, and monster fighting teams, etc. You even get to fight alongside the Gerudo army. The personalization of NPC’s really helped TotK excel over BOTW.

    I might be rare that I like the breakable weapons lol. Upgradeable outfits compensate for having weaker weapons (maybe even over-compensate). Just plan to take the time to make a couple outfits really strong before you progress too far, then you can take on toughter monsters and use their parts to fuse better weapons.

    The only thing I find strange is that I have no desire actually beat the game. I’ve watched videos and it seems like a frustrating, arduous task anyways. In BOTW, Zelda (and others) constantly urge Link to rush and help, but the story in TotK is more about the unraveling of mysteries, and is less urgent feeling.

    Although I liked building Link’s house, it also looks like an IKEA project. LOL    … Expand

El juego es tan amplio como profundo y algo que justifica cómodamente la espera de seis años. Es el juego de Zelda más narrativo1. El juego sigue siendo un caótico patio de recreo físico, pero es uno que es de alguna manera más amigable y en otros aspectos incluso más castigador que su predecesor.

    IGN lo describe como una secuela notable que de alguna manera eleva aún más el listón hacia las nubes2. Este sandbox es más grande, más rico y de alguna manera aún más ambicioso, con nuevos sistemas creativos como la construcción de vehículos, la elaboración ridícula de armas y un mapa renovado de Hyrule con una cantidad vertiginosa de profundidad que profundiza aún más la exploración intoxicante que hizo que el original fuera tan cautivador. Breath of the Wild se sintió lejos de estar inacabado pero, inconcebiblemente, Tears of the Kingdom ha logrado hacerlo sentir como un primer borrador

    En Metacritic, el juego tiene una puntuación Metascore de 96, lo que indica aclamación universal basada en 140 críticas. TheGamer lo llama una obra maestra que no solo iguala lo que vino antes, sino que hace todo lo posible para superarlo1.

    It’s story is a return to form after The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, you go to four regions and help the multiple races solve their problems, whether you are soaring into a massive cyclone with Tulin or jumping into the crater of a dormant volcano and in the process discovering a land with a lot of lava pouring down around you. (For the purpose of keeping this spoiler free I will not do a review of the story.)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an avid Leyend of Zelda player since I was little I thought I couldn't be more amazed by a game as when Breath of the Wild came out. Now, I'm trying to be as objective as I can... I played Elden Ring and was amazed too, the story, the liberties the graphics, all was fantastic. With this I'd like to add I play a wide range of games in variety (right now playing Baldurs Gate 3 and gosh the rol experience is the best I could ever ask! You can even roll de dices!!), for all tastes and I can enjoy them all If they're good for what it was intended to be.
    So, Tears of the Kingdom. It just can't be better. Since the very day it came out I keep finding new ways to play it and resolve the puzzles. At first when you start in the island in the sky it was so overwhelmingly beautiful! The jump in the start, they way the developers guided even new players of Zelda to familiarize with the mechanics was just so smooth. I already knew most of them because I spent hundred of hours playing BOTW but instead, I was so happy following this very sutil tutorials. We all knew we'll have a sky map and I know many of us player was already flipping with that... but suddenly you could have 2 ways to find what I'm about to talk about. A super easy quest to "oh yes the supervision team is delaying a bit in the south" or you can just randomly bump into it and whichever the way it was for you I know The Depths were this mysterious, a bit scary and overwhelming find! Jumping and diving into the dark, the music, that horn you hear almost when your about to hit the ground in the middle of the absolute darkness felt like "Am I the only one who found this? Was this supposed to be here??" I felt curious and scared, and excited as I began to explore it and it was this whole gigant full *ss Hyrule map but underground and it was like a negative of the one above, both so connected and amazing to explore. So here we are with 3 maps completely free to explore. I really don't know how they manage to deliver such a exquisite game In a relative old console. It's really worthy of recognition!.
    Now, the story had me completely invested emotionally since the start... once you star to realize the story behind the Dragon Tears o gosh, I know we all suffered. I loved that this time they actually gave Zelda an key role. Not just the princes in distress needed to be saved. This was a Zelda making the right and hard decisions all by herself, and She is our main guide through all the game. I won't spoil the rest of the story or the end or main plots, nothing. I just wish more people to play it and be kids again playing with Legos, because that's a bit what this is, all the new mechanics and completely freedom allows you to create amazing things (and some awful ones too... but let's not speak about the horrors happening to the koroks lol).
    I just think nothing will be able to pass my amazement with this game. Every thing was a new gem, even being some stuff so like BOTW... but even stead! I allowed again to be an "adult-kid" and be excited to get home and play and share it with my loved ones and friends... and I think that's all what games are about. That's why I give it a 10/10. Because even trying to be objective and loving other games too, Tears of the Kingdom got out the best in me. A sense of completely happiness. And maybe you could feel it's something silly to say, but it is true. It made my days happier :)    … Expand

Quizás porque esta secuela es demasiado densa y amplia para mí o simplemente porque le tengo un cariño especial al anterior título de la saga principal. Sin embargo es complicado compararlos, ya que sí bien me apetece más jugar al Breath of the Wild, al pensar en la campaña principal de The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, se me vienen a la cabeza tantos momentos inolvidables, que se me pone la piel de gallina. Mi conclusión es que si bien la historia principal del Zelda de este año es mejor que la del Breath of the Wild, la sensación que me deja el mundo de Tears of the Kingdom, a pesar de ser más abierto, complejo y completo que el del anterior juego; me resulta más inmersivo y coherente el del Breath of the Wild. Por ello no puedo ponerle un 10 a Tears of the Kingdom, así que, se queda con un 9.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t even know how someone could give anything below 9. The only negative I could think of is that some of the temples were a little meh (which doesn’t even bother me).
    Apart from that:
    -A lot of guys are complaining that the map was the same and the exploration didn’t feel as good as BotW the first time. Ok, I’ll say that it didn’t feel like BotW but nothing ever will. That said, I still liked exploring. While the biomes are still the same ones, I liked seeing the tweaks and changes made to the map. Plus the Sky Islands, the caves and The Depths were a blast to explore because they really made me use the new vehicles, they really made me use my creativity and use the new amazing abilities.
    -Some guys are complaining that TotK has the same negatives as BotW. The only negative that I found about BotW is that the exploration became boring after a lot of hours. And this isn’t a problem anymore because I can create whatever I want to explore. I even liked recycling a simple hoverbike over and over without getting bored.
    I’m starting to think that those who didn’t like the game don’t know what creativity is and therefore the game just wasn’t meant for them.
    -The new fusing ability is one of the best things I have ever used in any game. It allowed me to create new weapons that didn’t previously exist: a whip, a cannon on a shield, a flamethrower on a shield, a spring on a shield, a beam emitter spear and much more.

    In the end I’m sure that those who didn’t enjoy the game never really played it. I’m sure that they were too busy playing it the same way they played BotW. I’m sure they never experimented and therefore never had fun. I’m sure that they were busy playing it as if it wasn’t an open world game. The best thing in this game is messing around, experimenting, creating your own mechs, your own battle drones, finding out new things that you can make with the fusing ability, finding out things about the new throwable items that act as flashbangs, smoke grenades and others and overall, rather than exploring the map, exploring the game itself.    … Expand

    The games biggest strong suit lies in it's exploration. BotW did a good job in this department but TotK blows it out of the water in every way: varied rewards, unique locales and challenges, special events and most importantly: it's all so. high. quality.

    Improves on the the gameplay innovations of Breath of the Wild in every conceivable way. With over 200 hours of gameplay under my belt, I can still say that I’ve not grown tired of this version of Hyrule. It’s a rare thing for a game to be so enjoyable in and of itself with so little motivation given of rewards for time spent. Is this game perfect? In all the ways that matter, yes.

It’s a rare thing for a game to be so enjoyable in and of itself with so little motivation given of rewards for time spent. Is this game perfect? In all the ways that matter, yes.

    The story is emotional and impactful - so long as it’s viewed in the intended order. It is regrettable that Nintendo hasn’t quite figured out how to expand their TRUE open world formula into one that can deliver the story in a satisfying way for every player, even the ones intent on sequence breaking. But I struggle to think of any game developer that has aspired for this level of freedom, pulled it off, and still delivered an experience as fun and impactful. Even Rockstar’s RDR2’s gentle guidance through the stellar highs and emotional lows feel like railroad tracks compared to Tears of the Kingdom. I can’t help but wonder if RDR2 would be rated as highly if Rockstar allowed Arthur Morgan to sequence break his own destiny.

    Three months after its release, and the holes in Tears of the Kingdom are starting to show more prevalently - but they are entirely conceptual. While this may feel dismissive, I find complaints about Tears of the Kingdom sound as useful or valid as someone with a burnt tongue complaining about the flavor of a 4 star Michelin meal saying “well this duck confit doesn’t hold a candle to the Easy Mac my mother used to make.”

    While we can list all the ways we each individually might prefer to engage with dungeons, or discuss our headcannons that could make the lore more cohesive, or paint elaborate hypotheticals about which art style Nintendo aught to explore next time… none of these opinions really change the fact that Tears of the Kingdom plays like no other game in existence.

    It’s my favorite game. A flawed perfect 10 if there ever was one.    … Expand
