Customer Ratings & Reviews

I thought that a return to Hyrule would be more of the same, but I was blown away by all the new mechanics! This is a sequel and considerable upgrade to Breath of the Wild, and though the world is familiar, it is fresh with a new story and abilities.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom It is, as of the date this opinion was published, the best exploration and adventure game of at least the last 10 years. It gives you the possibility of passing the game in about 40 hours. or as in my case recording each area of the map about 250 hours. The soundtrack and sound effects are magnificent and immersive never tire. Any fight, dungeon or sanctuary can be approached in multiple ways. Everything related to graphics, mechanics, physics and lighting is perfect, it looks like a Ghigli movie. Regarding performance, it goes constantly at 30 FPS, I never had problems or crashes and it has almost no bugs. The game far exceeds its predecessor and that is saying a lot. It is a safe purchase, if you buy it physical it will never lose its resale or exchange value.

This new Zelda game is great. It definitely left its mark on me as i put almost 200 hours into it. Open world action adventure that appeals to more than just Zelda fans.

I didn't get my pre-order bonus, that was a bumer. However, tokt is a great game that allows you to put your creativity to use and build whatever you want. If you just want to play it as a classic zelda game it also allows you to do that.

One of the best Zelda games I have played. My partner is really into Zelda so he played it first. I avoided all the spoilers after that I ran through this game. Graphics are awesome. Only second to the story line.

This new Zelda game seems to follow gameplay very similar to the last game in the series, Breath of the Wild. Nintendo has seemed to have taken the formula and improved on it in many ways. My kids are constantly discussing and referring back to the lore, characters, and lands that they encounter. It seems that the main storyline can be played through fairly quickly- but there is more than enough to sidetrack you beyond the main narrative. So to summarize, if you are a Breath of the Wild fan you will really like Tears of the Kingdom. If you prefer LoZ games from prior generations, the open-world may be off-putting or lacking in general direction. If you did not like BotW, this sequel may not hit for you- but be aware that games like this are why you probably bought the Nintendo Switch in the first place.

What a follow up to BOTW, this is probably the best game I’ve ever played!

Undoubtedly superior to the original version in every way. Without spoiling anything, the new "rune" abilities are fantastic (Though I question the need to have the map be included among them when a dedicated button for it already exists). After 30+ hours my only real complaint is that arrow counts aren't shown unless the bow is aimed or the inventory is opened, Rupees and other currencies now require the 'A' button to be pressed to pick them up, and the map being listed with the rest of the "Runes" limits the total amount of "Runes" possible in the game. Other than that, the story so far is better than Breath of the Wild, the controls feel the same or better, enemy variety is better, and the new effects and items address concerns or issues from the previous game. Well worth the $70 price point, don't listen to the whiners online.

Been looking forward to this game for 4 years. This is a great sequel to breath of the wild. Developers have done a great job with fixing some components from the first game and added a bunch of new skills and abilities. Great open world game.

This game is getting game of the year. The game play and story are amazing. I bough a copy for each of my two daughters for good grades, and they absolutely love it! If you're on the fence just get it. You will not be disappointed.

Great plot and plenty of side quests. The graphics look great for a switch game. There are so many places to explore and quests to do that you can put as many or as few hours into the game and still love the story.

such an amazing game! i cant put into words how much it has exceeded my expectations <3 i’m only 30 hours into the game and there’s still so much more exploration to do, however, it feels like an actual horror game because of the depths lol

Gameplay is intensely satisfying. It is like BOTW, but with much more to offer including quicker response time and the story line leaves much to learn from and work on. Fully immersive,, it embraces many hidden gems from past Zelda games too

Honestly runs the same as BOTW but you have so many more things to do as well as the abilities being so much more innovative and useful in TOTK. The story is much better and overall just a really good experience and worth the day 1 purchase!

I haven’t played any Zelda games, but I kept seeing all the rave reviews and knew I had to see what all the hype was about. Beautiful game! Amazing graphics, character designs, and story. A must for any Zelda fan or Nintendo fan!

Takes all the amazing features and expansive world from Breath of the Wild and improves and expands upon it even further. Along with some quality of life updates, this is the definitive open world Zelda and a must play for Switch owners.

Tears of the Kingdom is the type of game that could easily takes months to complete because it's just so jam-packed with adventure and exploration. There's so much familiarity but also so many new avenues to head down. Well worth the wait.

As a long time Zelda fan this game hit all the right targets. Great open world to explore, fun dungeons and great story. The addition of the building mechanics just takes this game over the top. Its insane how much you can do!

One of the best games of all time! Definitely recommend buying it!

One of the best games i have play in a long time. Love that series.
