Amazing, beautiful, spectacular...

I could go on and on with how amazing this game is. It's absolutely worth the money, the time, the dedication; the graphics are BOTW styled, the story is beautifully done, the monsters are monstrous, the characters have life to them-- everything is that of sheer talent.My only complaint is that it is certainly a more difficult game; it is that in which you must have talent to complete.Ver más

Great Gift! 200 Hours of Playtime and I Still Love It

I've racked up 200 hours of playtime over the past year or so of me having this, which is hard for me to squeeze in as a student. I asked for this as a gift, and I couldn't be happier, I enjoy all the expanded locations from BOTW, including the Depths which I had seen extensive criticism for prior to receiving this, so I assumed I would not like it. I really even thought it could never top BOTW, but for me it totally did. The atmosphere is so much more amazing than what I would've expected, especially with the temples and sky islands. The bosses are much more interesting compared to BOTW, as each of them has their own unique obstacles and play styles, and the Gloom Hands that replaced BOTW guardians actually remain startling even late into the game. All the new enemies and combats feels really fresh even after hundreds of hours of playing. People complain about lag, but it was never a huge issue for me but it is there.With Zelda fans, they're gonna complain about every game when it comes out, but it seems that the most heavily criticized games are also the greatest successes and the most fondly remembered years later.Shout out to this game for getting me through the last time I was sick with Covid for a weekVer más

Better than BOTW in every possible way

Where to begin with this game? Did you enjoy Breath of the Wild? Were you frustrated by certain aspects? If the answer was yes to both, you’ll love this game.I have been a Zelda fan all the way back to playing Zelda 2 when I was 4. And when Breath of the Wild came out, I was blown away, but also frustrated by aspects of it. Yes the game did away with most of the standard Zelda formula, but enough still remained for me to enjoy it as a Zelda game. What blew me away though was the size of the game, the focus on exploration and many other things. However, many things frustrated me like how long it took to get around, warping to shrines was easy, but losing your horse was always a serious pain.Now we arrive at the new game Tears of the Kingdom, clearly a sequel to BOTW that uses the same map, but manages to keep it fresh by introducing sky islands and the depths. And first off, if you felt BOTW had a massive map, this will blow you away. There is so much more to explore, but yet the game moves SO much faster by changing the towers from things you have to slowly climb to activate to just making them usually have a small puzzle to get them activated. Once you have these towers up, the game gets MUCH easier to navigate as each launches you miles into the sky where you can glide down toward the next closest one, or perhaps a shrine or other notable area. This eliminated the problem I had with horses and in fact, I barely used mine over the course of the entire game.The new powers you gain at the start also open this up to a realm of creativity previously offered by other games like Minecraft, but in a Zelda game, it feels fresh. I can only say this game will feel like a dream to any engineers or someone with an interest in building. You can truly get lost in crafting weapons or vehicles, but even if only done when necessary it’s a lot of fun. I who think the shrine puzzles have gotten much harder (at least for someone like me), but they were still fun and brilliant to experience.Finally there’s the story. I was surprised after feeling BOTW had a very forgettable story that this had a very rich and emotional story as you learn about how Ganondorf came to power and was originally defeated, as well and the truth of what happened to Zelda after the start of the game. I absolutely love it and all the characters. Honestly, the only two Zelda games to top this for me are Wind Waker and Link’s Awakening.So yes, to sum up, this is easily one of the best Zelda games of all time and improves on BOTW so much, I can’t even see myself revisiting that game now.

A Fantastic Adventure and Improves on BOTW in virtually every way

The short version is that this game improves and expands upon Breath of the Wild in every possible way, with the only real con being that this game pushes the Switch to its absolute limit, and you will encounter a very occasional framerate chug. Also they took away my hearty durians!Vast amounts of Content:Some were concerned when it was announced this game would utilize the same map from BOTW (its predecessor), so much to the point where it became common to see this game referred to as BOTW DLC prior to its prelease. I can assure you this is not the case. The is the game equivalent of a BMW 1M. Much how like that car was cobbled together from the BMW parts bin, but somehow became one of the best cars they ever made, this game is made with many existing assets and yet surpasses all my expectations. Not only are there sky islands, but their are caves, and an entire other layer of the world to explore (which I won't spoil if you've somehow managed to avoid spoilers for this game). There's also more to the story this time, and I swear they've at least doubled the amount of side content.More enjoyable combat:While this game uses the same general combat as BOTW, what's improved is the way you use weapons. They still break if that bothered you before, but I feel far less restricted thanks to the Fuse mechanic, which allows you to combine things with your weapons and shields. The consequence of this is that you feel far less unwilling to use your higher powered weapons. In BOTW I would hoard them, and I still do a little, but I also am at least willing to use them more frequently than before thanks to the fact that I can fuse a weak little stick into something more potent at almost any time. Additionally arrows are far easier to come by, as of writing this I've been on my playthrough for maybe 40-50 hours and have accumulated 200+ arrows without really trying to conserve.No hearty durians?Ok, since I brought it up, I'll make this it's own section. At first I hated this, the magical fruit that restored so much health it was almost gamebreaking in BOTW. However, in hindsight I think it was a good call, as I'm using more of the expanded materials/recipes now and it definitely adds to the game.Other details and conclusion:I hesitate to go into further details on this as it may spoil the experience of discovery, but I can say that the staples of BOTW are still here. Shrines, resource gathering, great fairies, upgrading your armor, all still play a huge role. The runes from the first game are gone, but are replaced with quirkier and largely more useful abilities, although I do miss the bombs. But even the function of the old remote bomb can be replicated in no less than three ways, depending on the situation. I have not beaten the game, but I have spent about 40-50 hours in this world by my estimate and completed three of the four major temples, and revealed the entire main map. Yet, despite that I feel like I'm still just scratching the surface. There have still been a few new enemy types that I still have no idea how to take down, or I need to collect more hearts/better armor. There is so much to see and do in this game, and so far it's all been very entertaining. I've been playing Zelda since Link's Awakening on Gameboy Color, and although this game like BOTW diverts somewhat from the classic formula, it is definitely in the lead for my favorite Zelda game of all time, and possibly my favorite open world game of all time. Truly fantastic.

This game will make you forget BOTW.

I bought this one used, but it was in a case that still had most of the plastic cover in place and appeared unopened. It is true, when people say that Breath of the Wild is just a training camp for Tears of the Kingdom. The many layers of this game takes it beyond expectations. Basically, you have over 80 caves, a complete underworld, the surface landscape, very similar but also quite different from BOTW, and then the unique floating islands to explore. The cover image shows you what to expect. Many new characters and settings add to the thrill. It's challenging, and it was supposed to be. Graphics definitely make this game special all around. In addition, there is the whole range of buildable devices and vehicles to figure out, some are required to finish the game, I think. Anyway, it's a major and long lasting adventure trip with great cut-scenes to enjoy. Bring your thinking cap, you'll need it, for the numerous puzzles to solve. I don't know how Nintendo will top this one.Ver más
