Customer Ratings & Reviews

After completing the game in 100 hours, I ended up feeling rather disappointed in the overall game after waiting for 4 years since the game's announcement. While many ideas are present to make this game new and interesting, none of them seem to coalesce into an experience that properly expands on the ideas of the previous entry. For example, new mechanics like building and fusing materials are present, but the game also puts a heavy focus on new locations such as the sky islands in the trailer. However, the building mechanics and the locations rarely connect together in meaningful ways that do not feel forced and obvious. Aside from a few occasions, one's building abilities are not challenged in this game and creative thinking is not necessary to solve the puzzles presented. Instead, building breaks many puzzles and allows them to be solved without a clear understanding of the mechanics of the problem. The inclusion of these abilities without integration into locations or puzzles seems strange and a missed opportunity. Along with the new locations, old locations also have changes to make them different. But these changes often result to clutter being added on top of existing locations rather than meaningful alterations. New rocks and decorations may be added, or some new location may be put on the side. These locations do not enhance the experience of exploration, but rather create busy and confusing scenes. These changed locations also do not incorporate the new building mechanics well, leading to the abilities to continue to feel underused. Finally, the game does little to address concerns from the previous game that people hoped to see fixed in this title. Story and dungeons in the last game felt underbaked, and with this entry reusing the same world and mechanics it felt like a great opportunity to create more elaborate narratives and levels. While it appears that Nintendo attempted to create more in these spaces, they ended up making something that feels either of the same quality or worse. All dungeons follow the same structure and can quickly be completed, and the story adds detail and complexity around it without actually constructing a plot in the center. Nor does this plot have relation to any of the new mechanics introduced. It is a shame that these weakest aspects of the previous game do not appear to be any more finished in this one. Overall, while the building and fusing in this game, along with the new locations, may appeal to some and be impressive in a technical sense, the ideas are not properly implemented in a way that makes it feel whole. For a series built on strong direction, this game feels shockingly directionless and unsure of where to go. It would be interesting to learn how the pandemic and development troubles had altered the game's development, and whether there were any major changes that resulted from it.

7 years into the life of the nintendo switch and a game like Totk comes along to prove that shiny 4k graphics and 100 Gb file sizes aren’t necessary to make a game great. Nintendo really hit all of the marks making an open world game that you could put 100’s of hours into if you wanted to. Mechanics are similar enough to BotW while offering quality of life updates that make the game feel like an evolution of one of Nintendo’s best.

Amazing game, it's been hard putting the game down since I bought it. There are plenty of things to do.

Amazing. Tons to do. Too much to do. A boat load of content. amazing improvements on prior game.

To follow up Breath of the Wild with anything in this series is a daunting task, but a direct sequel? Crazy!! With that said, they stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park. It’s breathtaking and amazing and overwhelming and fun and a complete experience from top to bottom. It’s hard to describe just incredible and immersive this game is. I think about it all day when I’m at work and not playing it. Anyone on the fence? Get it, go now!

I am addicted to this game. After beating Breath of the Wild I couldn’t wait for this to come out and let me tell you it does not disappoint. The addition of the ability to build things; weapons, traps, tools, etc, is a game changer.

Awesome game! Love this series of games and this one it so good. Love the graphics and the storyline.

Amazing game with cool graphics and a fun story. Gameplay is absolutely perfect and so much fun.

This is one of the best video games ever made but you probably already know that. I appreciate the fact Best Buy has hard copies of games day 1. I avoid GameStop whenever possible.

Great game and sequel! Love how many hours you can put in to it, and how creative this one lets you be.

Best game on the console right now ! 10/10 Masterpiece. Story is very well told and top notch gameplay.

This game is terrific in every way. Lots of exploring. Lots of creativity. Lots of solutions.

I bought Zelda Tears of the kingdom for my two daughters, and they absolutely love it. It’s an impressive game that adds onto the first game, Zelda breath of the wild. The new crafting abilities express my kids creativity and explore the world of building in a fun, new way. The map, which was expanded with floating islands and different depths leads to many mysteries which have yet to be found. If you want a game that makes you think and is long lasting, I definitely recommend “The Legend Of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom”.

Cool new abilities and game play is so good. Sucks you right back into the story right from the start

Love the open concept and the fact there are so many things you can do on the game. Worth the price

Great sandbox and open world experience, large amount of freedom for exploration and to mess around.

Game of the year! Creative freedom, family friendly content, great story, days of content to enjoy!

Honestly, I was super frustrated when I initially started this game as I would get hit with a level weapon and die instantly (even having 5 hearts). I highly recommend unlocking the map and getting as many Shrines as you can and avoid enemys at all costs. Once you get about 10 hearts and enough stamina, then proceed to do your main quests. Im a casual gamer and this was way harder than breath of the wild. Overall it is an amazing game!

Better than one of the GOT video games. Improves upon combat, exploration, puzzle solving and story.

Best game i have played for a while, the story amazing i do still think that for a switch game.
