I wasn't sure how Nintendo would find a way to top their work in Breath of the Wild back when it came out, but I feel they have here – with years of more polish applied and refined exploration. [Issue #66 – July/August 2023, p. 71]
Tears of the Kingdom is a remarkable sequel. Not only does it improve on every single aspect of Breath of the Wild, but it expands the characters, locations, and setting in new and exciting ways. It provides the most ridiculous toolset imaginable that at every turn has left me astonished at what I’m able to achieve.

When I say this game is perfect I mean It. When I feel suspence, confusion, and amazeness all in the first 5 minuets that's how I know the game is gonna be amazing. Bosses A+. GameplayA++. StoryA-. Visuals A+++(NS2)

Ultimately, the lore isn’t the main attraction, and isn’t the reason the Zelda series has endured for almost half a century. What’s more compelling is the game’s nod to the collective story of how human imagination pushes us through our toughest challenges, and sometimes sends us soaring to heights unseen.
Tears of the Kingdom handily exceeds the sky-high expectations surrounding it. It’s an instant classic — and a testament to the unmatched ingenuity of Nintendo’s game design.
Building off the foundation of Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way. It's filled with wonder and discovery throughout, constantly rewarding your curiosity. New mechanics like Fuse, Ascend, and Ultrahand transform how you interact with the world and give you even more opportunities to think differently about traversal and problem solving. Temples are a good upgrade and feel more clever and fleshed out, and the new sky and underground areas are excellent and serve as stark contrasts to the surface. Some technical aspects can get in the way at times, but not nearly enough to diminish the experience. It's been a long time coming for Tears of the Kingdom, but Nintendo has once again delivered a fantastic adventure that shouldn't be missed.
Outstanding, outrageously big action-adventure that builds on the strengths of its predecessor and puts playful freedom above everything else. It offers a good mix of the familiar and the fresh and just barely misses the perfect rating.
If you’ve yet to step foot into the open world of Hyrule, Tears of the Kingdom is the best way to experience it, with just enough new ground to keep things interesting. But if you didn’t gel with the 2017 release, the story alone might not be worth the second attempt.
It's so amazing to expand the 3d Zelda world once again with a dlc version of the breath of the wilds but original technology.

Globalement un plutôt bon jeu. Cependant, il ne parvient pas à atteindre le niveau de son prédécesseur. Entre quêtes secondaires recyclées, map quasiment inchangée en surface, ciel très vide et souterrains paresseux, une impression générale de facilitése dégage de ce jeu. L'histoire ne nous surprend pas car très prévisible, sachant que le jeu vous offrira en permanence la possibilité de vous auto-spoiler avec un système de souvenirs qui marche moins bien que dans Breath of the Wild. Presque tous les sanctuaires peuvent être bypass assez facilement, et il en va de même pour les temples. Il y a aussi de bons points : une bande son magnifique, des cinématiques très bien réalisées et une DA sublime.
Finalement, j'ajouterai que le mieux est l'ennemi du bien. TotK ajoute du contenu dans tous les sens, mais il manque souvent d'utilité (voir le début de ma critique), ou bien est peu pratique à utiliser. Ce qui faisait la beauté de BotW et de son univers, c'était la pureté qui s'en dégageait. Ici, la pureté a disparu, et c'est bien dommage...

Shouldn’t have to buy a whole new console for it to actually be at its best. Amazing game but having to pay to play it at the framerate other games start out with is atrocious.

The game is an unfinished mess. While it does have some genuine fun and new ideas they are overshadowed by the large amounts of frustration, grinding, repeat ad naseum. As far as I am concerned the game is a total and complete waste of money.
