The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Definitely a great game I've played a lot of Zelda games and this is one of the best games I've played. I also really liked the game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It's hard to say which one is better. There are other good Zelda games like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and the legend of zelda: ocarina of time the legend of zelda is without a doubt an excellent game series every game feels like an amazing adventure The game was really good, the animation, the battles and the plot, in my opinion, one of the best games released this year

the legend of zelda tears of the kingdom:(10/10)

(I'll update my review as I play through the game). I love the sandbox elements of the game and the new abilities that Link has access to. They are much better than what we had in Botw because they interact and are integrated with world in a much more engaging and interesting way. I also love the new enemy variety and bosses. It is much more similar to what we would expect from a Zelda game. However, the dungeons are still not what I want from a Zelda game. And the game in general doesn't really feel like what I've grown to associate with Zelda. I know many people dislike linear games but I think a linear experience doesn't run the risk of ruining the experience for players who do things the "wrong" way. Additionally, the story and progression can be more potent and fun. I firmly believe that a linear experience is a more consistently powerful than an open world experience. I love the freedom but eventually since the story only ends when you want it to, by the time you finish the game it will have lost its appeal whereas a linear experience gets to end the game with a bang. My biggest issue though is still the dungeons. In older Zelda games you would slowly unlock parts of the dungeon making the whole process satisfying as you would go through the dungeon one door at a time. Then halfway through you would get a key item as a reward for a mini boss and would be forced to use the item as a sort of tutorial. As you went through the second half of the dungeon you would become more and more comfortable with the item and finally, as one last challenge you would be tested on your knowledge of the new item and the dungeon as a whole. It was a satisfying experience that left me hungry for more and excited for the next dungeon. That just isn't the case here. There's never the wonder of "what item am I getting here?" or "what cool puzzles will be featured?" It's just a slog to do dungeons. I love the game but I honestly wish that the dungeons were more linear. However, they are significantly better than Botw dungeons and are actually fun so that is a big step up. Additionally, and I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticed this, but the game looks noticeably better than Botw which was a high standard. The enemy variety is very refreshing after the repetitive enemies of Botw. The new bosses are also very appreciated. I remember heading into the depths and then getting jump scared by a giant Obsidian Frox that freaked me out. In general the exploration has gone up from a 9.5/10 in Botw to a very easy 11. Now every corner of the world is not just filled with things to find but meaningful and exciting things. I recently found the torse to the Twilight Princess set and let out an audible squeal of joy and excitement. Overall, I won't give the game a ten until I've finished it but it's getting there.

Tears of the kingdom is honestly a curse, there's so much to do. When I finally put the game away to go do schoolwork or sleep or something like that I'm always thinking about what I'm gonna do next. Those who say it's just 70 dollar dlc are just being critics to be critics at this point

Of course the graphics aren't going to blow you away and it's locked at 30 fps but that barely even takes away from the experience, and that's more of a switch problem than a tears of the kingdom problem. This game also shows how you don't need good graphics to make a good game.

Overall, don't let the 70 dollar price tag deter you. This game is absolutely worth it. If you own a switch and can afford this game I would say it's a must have.

It's actually crazy that this game was even made. Quite possibly the greatest open world game ever made. It has some flaws for sure, but it has so many positives that i honestly don't care about the flaws. The world is absolutely filled with a bunch of stuff to do, to the point where it took me 50 hours just to get to the first dungeon because i kept getting distracted. They also casually just threw in an amazingly complex building system in to this, which instantly elevates this game to one of the greatest sandboxes ever made. The fact that they took a game that was already a masterpiece and just made it so much better in every way is so amazing. And from a technical standpoint it's insane how this game was even made, they fit 2 and a half big maps (with one of them arguably being the best open world map in gaming history), around 50,000 possible fusion combinations which i didn't even mention in this review, an amazingly complex building system into a game already known for its amazing physics that's well made and implemented, and the player the ability of pure freedom to almost break the game by having a million different ways to do things, into a 16.3 gb small cartridge for a very not powerful console from 2017 is just insanely impressive and impactful for the gaming industry. In my opinion, this is by far the greatest open world game of all time.

I have spent over 120 hours playing this spectacular game. At first, I thought it was a bit overwhelming, but as I made my way through the map and unlocked this new world, I realized it was much more than just a simple DLC. It offers new stories, characters, and adventures. Don't pay attention to those people who say it's just a new DLC; for me, it's something new while still appreciating all the good things from the previous game! The gameplay mechanics are very different, which can make it seem complicated, but after playing it, you will once again immerse yourself in a fantasy world that only Nintendo can achieve!

Excellent game!
