Better than BOTW.

Love this game but I do feel it is very similar to BOTW. This certainly expands the world overall, so if you like the foraging / exploration aspect of BOTW, you’ll love this. Link’s new abilities provide for endless creativity.

This is almost like BOTW but it’s more adventurous and appealing somehow. They’ve made a few small changes and you only feel the difference while playing. I am a 40 year old male and i love this game. My kids also love it.

Great game, love it. A whole lot of new options with combat when it comes to item fuses. A lot more mobility options too. May not be core Zelda but it's fun and that's all that matters.

One of the best games I have ever played. I am a big Zelda fan, and this exceeded my expectations! My son and I had a blast playing it, and appreciated the artwork from preordering through Best Buy!

I can't go into too many words on how great this game is, but I want to try in the least amount of words that I can. This game is a 9/10 and has some issues, but most of the issues I have are really nitpicky and don't draw from the game overall. If you enjoyed Breath of the Wild, you're going to love Tears of the Kingdom, they somehow turned Breath of the Wild into a better game and changed how the game plays and makes just about everything better. The story is insane, super emotional, and makes you really feel like the hero of Hyrule. I wish everyone who owns a Switch could play Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom at least once, it's something everyone should experience.

Waited a long time but worth it. Starts hard and thats a bonus. Create anything, fly to the sky or travel underground open world at your pace and doesent obligate you to do anything you dont want. A great game.

Absolutely amazing game play. One of my favorite switch games released. I love that it is an open world but still stands apart from Zelda Breath of The Wild! A free art print came with my purchase as well!

10/10 game overall. Great story with interesting characters and superb gameplay. Go out and buy this game. It’s well worth to get a Switch just simply for this game and Breath of the Wild!

Tears of the Kingdom is a worthy sequel to Breath of the Wild. It keeps the same level of exploration and discovery the first game had, but amps it up even more. The weapon system is frustrating at the start, but once you get use to the fusion mechanic, everything an anything can be a weapon. Building things is so much fun, and really makes you think if outside the box solutions. If you loved the first game, you will have a blast with this one.

Time to spend another 1000+ hours lost in Hyrule again. An fantastic sequel that builds upon the original game in very surprising and meaningful ways, despite it reusing the same world.

I’ve pumped so many hours into this game. This takes breath of the wild, perfects that formula and adds so many more things to do. Already one of my favorite games of all time!

My only problem is that I don't have more time to play! The Zelda saga has really stepped things up since I was a kid. When I play this game, it's like I'm a kid all over again.

Logged 200 hours in this game since it released a month ago. I never thought it was possible but they made Breath of the Wild feel like a first draft.
10/10 Game of the Year.
