Excellent game with a ton of content in it, its very enjoyable and unique, there's not another game like it

I am an avid Legend of Zelda fan and this game is another success to add to the collection. The wait was well worth it. Graphics are gorgeous, game play is engaging, and you can spend so many hours getting lost in new areas and worlds created by Nintendo. Definitely a must buy for any Legend of Zelda fan.

Graphics look amazing the game runs great and the story is absolutely amazing.

They really used the ultrahand ability while crafting this game. Amazing story, gameplay and longevity!

Tears of the Kingdom is outstanding in every way. The attention to detail is amazing, the story is compelling, and the new features are complete game-changers (literally). I would have loved a completely new map for this game, as at times it felt like a bit of a rehash of the original, but that was a minor qualm in light of how perfect the game was in every other way. This is probably the Switch's last AAA release, but what a great way to go out.

An epic fantasy adventure with a massive open world that is fun and compelling to explore. Filled with memorable characters, challenging enemies, and unique puzzles the solutions to which are limited only by the player's imagination. The music, sound effects, and art style are top notch, however the graphics and performance are both hampered by the hardware but this doesn't detract from what is ultimately an amazing and deep game that is fun for all ages.

Excellent Game! Plenty to explore! If you loved Breath of the Wild, then you'll love Tears of the Kingdom!

Not sure how Nintendo pulled it off, but TotK is an almost perfect improvement on the original BotW formula.

Fantastic game! Totally worth the price! Several hours of getting distracted and having fun.

Probably one of the greatest games of all time. Improves on all areas of deficiency in Breath of the Wild.

Game is sure to be awesome but dont ever preorder a video game from BB and get it shipped... apparently even though game released today mine wont arrive until Sat. So much for having fun on launch day.

I’ve enjoyed the opening hours a great deal. I liked BOTW but this feels far more enjoyable. Still wish weapon degradation wasn’t a thing, but the new ways you can get around puzzles and combat scenarios helps a lot. Overall this is a fantastic second entry in the newer Zelda style games. The prologue (or opening section) was one of the best I’ve ever played in any video game… ever. Highly recommended (even if you didn’t love BOTW like me).

10/10 game of the year, great gameplay, story, visuals. A treat from beginning to end

Awesome game! Keeps my attention and lots of different things to do!

I've never played a Zelda game before, but I am absolutely a fan of the combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. It feels like you're really on an adventure.

Fantastic game with innovative gameplay, a compelling story and characters, and beautiful environments!

A simply beautiful and perfect game with clever choices and hundreds of hours of open world amazingness.

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.

Got this for my son. He gets and loves every Zelda game for the Switch released. He (and I) love the looks of the graphics and animation (I think it's very unique and probably allows for the smaller storage space and memory needed for play). After completing, he'll go back and keep playing to revisit and try new approaches.

This is a great addition to the legend of Zelda games!
