    Breath of the Wild, But on a Larger Scale

    If you liked Breath of the Wild, you’ll love Tears of the Kingdom. It’s hard to believe that the previous game could’ve been expanded upon, but leave it to Nintendo to find a way to pull it off. The sheer number of things to do in Tears of the Kingdom is mind-boggling, and you will easily find yourself distracted from the main questline for long periods without even thinking about it. This won’t be the only review to tell you this, but Tears of the Kingdom is a must-play, and is a serious contender for Game of the Year.

    TOTK, like BOTW before it, is a true must-have game for anyone that owns a Switch. Sequels don’t always live up to their predecessors, but this one does, & then some. The developers somehow blended the open-world beauty of BOTW, with the creative freedom of Minecraft. It’s a completely new game, with just enough familiarity for fans of the franchise. It’s definitely more challenging, & full of side quests, alternate solutions, & new enemies. The map(s) are vast, & there’s more than enough content to justify the price.

    I honestly did not think it was possible to take the masterpiece that is Breath of the Wild and build upon it to make a better game. This is not the same map taken from BotW and plopped into Tears of the Kingdom. Same area? Yes, but it is SO much more and goes deeper than I expected. Every single thing they have added feels welcome. Whether it's the new sky islands, new mechanics, or new armor sets, it all feels like it should be there. This is a MUST BUY if you own a Switch. $70 well spent.

    Very fun and also beautiful graphics. The switch is the perfect medium for this game because you get to have it both ways!Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is fun as a hand held game and shines when played via TV or monitor.

    I started playing video games in the late 80s. Breath of the Wild cracked my top five games played within hours of starting it, and I didn’t think it would be possible for this sequel to live up to the bar BOTW set. It does. I own a PS5 and XBox Series X, and since I bought this game, those two consoles are dead to me. Zelda is so much more fun than anything else on the other two systems. And at the end of the day, that’a why I started playing games, because they’re fun. And this game is too much fun to put down. Buy it.

    Overall, it is a great game. The abilities are fun to play with, and the game is an excellent prequel to the original BOTW. One of my few critiques is the story, being that it is nearly non-existent. BOTW has a better story and more beloved characters (And BOTW has a similar problem with its story). I have nothing against the storytelling or characters in TOTK, but you probably won't get invested in its story. Despite the story, it is still overall a great game.

    Excellent game and very fun to play. I like that it lets you play the game how you want. You don't have to fight bad guys until you want to. You are free to roam and gain weapons and strength while fighting some lower-level bad guys. Lots of climbing and flying and skydiving. It's like playing the movie Conan the Barbarian with some flying and skydiving and magic. I'm terrible at video games so I recommend watching videos online to help with the game.

    The game itself is fantastic, however the price tag of 70 wasn't really justified considering the reused assets, music and engine.

    Touching storyline. Breathtaking beauty. Unbelievably huge space to explore -- an absolutely massive scope. 40 hours in, I was still finding brand new things to discover. Nintendo took all the things that worked great from Breath of the Wild and combined a number of quality-of-life improvements that made it easier to control with wild new ideas that work out to be incredibly fun. Tears of the Kingdom ranks in my top 3 favorite games of all time, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

    "we've only just begun" was a song done by the carpenters back in the '70s and I have to say it fits this situation. I feel just like others that have already begun playing this game. This game is EPIC!!! This game has so much to see, do, and explore. This is in no way a DLC for Breath of the Wild...Far, far from it. The difficulty is as you would expect it to be: Challenging, but still not too frustrating. Definitely will buy a second copy for my own switch. (I own two.) What are you waiting for....buy it already!!!
