The biggest video game sequel in the last 20 years. This game has been worth every penny. The gameplay ranges from somber walks through remote forest far above the earth's surface to fighting a hordes of bokoblins on top of a living fortress. Add a robust crafting system and a elaborate evolving story and you have a game that has something for everyone.

Great game mechanically, story imo is a little weaker than Breath of the Wild but game play is more refined. Will probably pick it up again when the switches successor finally comes out as the switch has been underpowered since it was released. Either that or just run an emulator in my pc, its not against the law if you own the software.

This game is fun and a great continuation from Breath of the Wild. You have the familiarity of the map, but it's still new and different. They have some a great job continuing the story and adding new elements to fixing and protecting Hyrule. Playing Breath of the Wild is recommended but you truly don't need to know the last game to play this one.

Where to even begin? It expands on Breath of the Wild in every way but is its own story enough that you don't need to play through BOTW to enjoy and feel fulfilled by Tears of the Kingdom. It is much, much bigger and complex, but if it's something you plan to play for a while, the controls will feel fluid. Still amazed it all runs on a Switch.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom captivated me from start to finish. As a longtime fan of the franchise, I can confidently say that this latest installment is nothing short of breathtaking. The world-building is immersive, drawing players into a rich tapestry of lore and legend. From the sprawling landscapes to the intricate dungeons, every corner of Hyrule feels meticulously crafted and ripe for exploration. The puzzles are cleverly designed, offering just the right balance of challenge and satisfaction. And of course, the story is gripping, weaving together themes of courage, destiny, and friendship in a way that only Zelda can. With its masterful gameplay, stunning visuals, and unforgettable soundtrack, Tears of the Kingdom is an absolute masterpiece that left me longing for more.

This game has proven to be quite a well thought out game and sequel to Breath of the Wild (which was an excellent change to the Zelda series). The overall game seems to be around 3x larger than the original, full of great stories and Zelda lore, and new game play mechanics to truly bring a new level of game play. Without giving any spoilers, I will say this game is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played and each hour I put into it seems to uncover more and more surprises than I would have ever expected. To be a Zelda fan, and not play this game is a sin. To be a true “master piece gamer” and not give this game a chance is down right neglectful. I enjoy a wide variety of different games and this one has really made me appreciate the 4+ years of development put into it and make it the true piece of playful art that it is. Pick it up and enjoy it. You will have so many hours into it that you won’t even realize a month has gone by and you are still no where near finished with it. Replay ability is also high on it as there are many different ways one can go through each of the story lines and challenges. Kudos to everyone involved in bringing this game to life. Worth the $70 and then some.

So far the game has a captivating yet typical Zelda story, with some welcomed game features that enhance the experience away from Breath of the Wild, while still retaining the beauty and elegance BoTW created. This game is no match for BoTW in terms of impact (similar to Ocarina of Time), but, like Majora’s Mask it successfully sequels the game.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who loves Zelda. While I am not much of a gamer myself, I do love watching him play. This new game is definitely worth it - the puzzles and adventure parts are awesome, the graphics are great and the story is cool. We're really looking forward to getting through the game!! Oh and he loves the game too lol!

Best game I’ve played in a long time!! I’ve never really played a Zelda game, and this was very enjoyable. Engaging story, completely open world with so much to do, easy to learn mechanics, this game really does not disappoint.

Brilliant Game and beautiful open world aspect had a blast playing it !

After finishing 'Breath of the Wild' I was completely blown away by the scope and sheer excellence of Nintendo's masterpiece, but couldn't help but wonder how they would follow up a game widely considered one of the best games ever made, regardless of platform. Then 'Tears of the Kingdom' was announced and I was simultaneously thrilled, optimistic, and cautious. What could Nintendo do, how would they create, something that could in any way compare to 'Breath of the Wild'? Well...they did something that most game developers only dream of and followed up with yet ANOTHER masterpiece, a perfect example of video-game-as-art. I am probably 1/2 way done (a conservative estimate) and will be playing for months, and talking about for years. I could go on and on about how great 'Tears of joy the Kingdom' is, how it exceeds the greatness of its predecessor...but the most important thing I could tell anyone is to play it. It. Is. STAGGERING in it's scope and breadth. Arguably the one game I would recommend above any other. To say I 'highly recommend it' is a gross understatement. This is greatness in execution and a masterclass in game development and art. Unbelievable.

TOTK has kept the landscape geography and basic story elements from BOTW, but changed most other things. Weapons still break but you find many more replacements and you can enhance them. You get new skill abilities early in the game and they figure significantly in gameplay from then on. TOTK has 3 topographical areas (sky, land, and underground) to explore which almost triples the size over BOTW. There are many new puzzle and challenge types to solve using the new tools and abilities. You imagination is tested much more in TOTK. The only negative to report is that if you quickly jump to and through selection menus, the game occasionally hangs up. It is easy to free up without losing your progress, but can be annoying. That is why the score is 4 instead of 5.

I am a life long Zelda fan. BOTW was a fantastic game, and a unique entry into the series. TOTK builds upon BOTW and adds more interesting content, exploration, enemies, and game mechanics. I have played for 200 hours so far and there is some much that I haven't explored yet. TOTK is a must play for any fan of the series or genre.

“The Legend of Zelda: is a masterpiece that redefines open-world gaming. it remains a shining example of Nintendo’s creativity and innovation. The game’s vast, beautifully crafted world of Hyrule is a marvel to explore, teeming with secrets, breathtaking vistas, and a rich variety of environments.

This was my gamer wife's most anticipated game and let me tell you she is super impressed. The thought that went into the whole Zelda game series is more than amazing. It is mind boggling fun and entertains for hours. Best Buy is also the place to pre-order Switch 2 so we are waiting for that also!

Breath of the wild was one of the few games I would replay multiple times. Tears of the Kingdom already has me stuck to the screen playing and forgetting the time. It will surely be just a replayable. I have been playing since it has come out, 2-4 hours a day, and still haven't even gotten to the first dungeon. There is so much to do!

As a follow up to Breath of the Wild this game is a great testament to the Switch’s potential. Great graphics, challenging enemies, and lots to explore. I plugged about 100 hours into it easily just exploring before finishing the main quest. Definitely worth it for the die hard fans!

I recently purchased The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for my Nintendo Switch from Best Buy, and it has been an extraordinary gaming experience. As a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild, it expands upon its predecessor's open-world design with remarkable innovations.

This game exceeded my already high expectations. It's an improvement of Breath of the Wild in every possible way. The story is fantastic, the world is massive, and every little thing you do is always fun. I finished with 200 hours of total playtime and there wasn't a single moment of those 200 hours that I wasn't having a blast!

Easily one of the best games on Switch. It's notably better than 2017's Breath of the Wild and a must own. Performance is good, graphics are good, tons of content, gameplay is solid, and the new mechanics are mind blowingly stable without the tons of bugs you may expect from such a complicated system. This one is hard to top.
