Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am still in the beginning of this game and already feel like there is so much to do in it. It is overwhelming but in a good way. Somehow they took everything from BOTW and added on to it. Have fought one boss fight and it definitely felt like what you would expect from a Zelda game. Just bought this game along with the TOTK Special edition switch and while I am sad my original switch was stolen on vacation I am glad that this game came out urging me to buy an OLED switch for it. Looks so crisp and clean on the OLED screen plus the OLED switch works with my old dock so I can keep the new on pristine as a collectable. Still can't believe how much more there is to do and how much bigger the whole map is than BOTW. *Spoilers* there is a whole sky map, ground level map and an underground map as well as caves, wells with underground areas and still shrines just like BOTW. Idk how long this game is but I can tell that there are hours of game play. I almost forgot to mention the item creation. It is like a literal sand box. Exploration and creation in this game are incredible and I am still at the early stages of this game!

Beautiful this is the Pinnacle of gaming. Amazing combat, exciting gameplay, minimal story and plenty of time spent... exploring nature. The creator of Zelda started the series because he loved exploring caves. I find this game so breathtaking, I'll be so impressed climbing a mountain for it's natural beauty I will literally close my blinds...as I get irritated by real sunlight haha. This game has fun bosses, creative ways to play, and fun mechanics. Don't just go online and find the answers. No my friend in this game, the journey IS the destination. While the Nintendo Switch was released 7 years ago, this game squeezes every ounce of power out of this system and it runs smoothly. Interesting side quests, great conversations, lovely character design, delightful music. You will squeal with delight and fear at all the right times. Yes the Switch isn't as powerful as a PS5, that's fine. The graphics aren't cutting edge but this game dares you to dream and do whatever you please. To solve problems in a myriad of ways. To fight enemies or not, uniquely and to have fun doing it. Also, I highly recommend you buy an OLED TV and or Switch for this game as well as Surround sound speakers. A minimum of 5 (front, left, right, back left and back right) along with a subwoofer. This game is an artistic beauty, part of the charm and attention to detail is in sound that your regular TV will not be able to separate all the sound channels. Additionally, an OLED will bring this games art style to life. A masterpiece. Enjoy

The Zelda universe is yours to live in. Graphics: There is so much detail in graphics it makes you just admire how much went into this beautiful living world. Day and night cycle, weather, shadows, smoke, cel shading details, the way the wind blows as fabric moves along with it including clothing, hair, tall grass, clouds hovering over you creating shadows, particle effects, I mean this has a sense of realism that I still can’t seem to understand is actually in a playable game. A lot of people look for ultra realistic lifelike graphics but they feel soulless. This is true realism where everything, everyone, and the world reacts to your movements and actions. How they achieved this is beyond me but I am blown away at this living world and it is just such a fresh breath of air from what is out there. You will fall in love. Music/Sound: Melow tunes, eerie vibes, relaxing tones, combative scores. Just as beautiful as the graphics. The sound effects are phenomenal. You hear how the wind sways from time to time all depending on weather, what surface you walk on or run on, what type of material would sound like when hitting a different material. I was running and I heard a little clashing noise so I stop and it stopped. I run and it starts to sound again so I’m now sure it’s me and it turns out it was my weapon hitting the shield as I ran but when I drew them out while running the sound stopped. That to me was absolutely incredible. Gameplay: this game requires a lot of patience but it is extremely rewarding and well worth the effort. You will die…a lot. As you progress through the game it becomes easier since you grasp the concept and enemies and story are phenomenal and I am only about 5 hours into this game. Every single person should play this game as it is a once in a lifetime experience and it is just so beautiful when you see it all just come together. Do not hesitate buying this game, it is extremely cheap in price compared to the endless hours you will spend on it. This game would be worth thousands if we were to base it on time over value. Thank you Nintendo and all those involved in the making of this amazing world for bringing back that feeling of playing a video game I thought I had lost. I appreciate it.

This is a must buy game! For someone who finished a play through of breath of the wild a few months ago, this game continues the experience in a huge way. I find myself spending countless hours and losing track of time when I play. The story, characters, boss fights, and puzzles keep me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. While this game does not required you to have played breath of the wild, you do miss out on some references and story so I would recommend playing breath of the wild first and then play tears of the kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is everything I hoped for and more. As a fan of Breath of the Wild, I was amazed at how this game expanded on an already incredible world while introducing fresh mechanics, deeper storytelling, and unparalleled creativity. The new sky islands and underground depths add an incredible sense of discovery, making Hyrule feel bigger than ever. The Ultrahand and Fuse abilities are absolute game-changers, allowing for limitless ways to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and explore the world. The story is also more engaging, with emotional depth and surprises that kept me hooked from start to finish. Performance-wise, the game runs impressively well on the Switch, with stunning visuals and a beautiful soundtrack that perfectly complements the adventure. If you loved Breath of the Wild, this is a must-play. Even if you’re new to the series, this game sets the gold standard for open-world adventures. It’s easily one of the best games of all time. 10/10 – Highly recommended!

Another beautifully addicting game from Nintendo everything from the play mechanics to the sound design. Every time I pick the game up I say I’m only gonna play for a little bit next thing I know it’s the following morning. I love the open world ability to climb to the highest peak and then fly over to the next interesting point all wall crafting together items to get you to each location so much fun on or off the storyline. I’m about two weeks in and 40 hours of gameplay, and I’ve barely scratch the surface in storyline and exploration.

This game is everything I dreamed it would be and more. Easily tops the first in terms of gameplay and adds a whole new layer of innovation and creativity. Story is beautiful and environments breathtaking and vast. I could spend forever admiring this game for all time. Challenging encounters and puzzling shrines and dungeons that make you think!! A perfect sequel! Arrived on-time on release day thanks to BB's great shipping, even for me in a rural area! I love love love it and cannot recommend enough

I can honestly say this is clearly the best Zelda game I’ve ever played before.there are many things to do in this one but at the same time amazingly fun.I would recommend this game to anyone looking for an adventurous challenge. Plus the graphics are the best I’ve seen so far.this is a game that you will be playing for years to come, so If you want to play the best game ever made I suggest you buy this one.I truly love Zelda tears of the kingdom!!

A very fun game that builds on the great foundation of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and adds a lot more dimension. You certainly don’t have to play Breath of the wild though, starting your Zelda journey with this would be fine. Skydiving down to the surface, going underground, the game is unreasonably big. I like big games, at times it’s so big I get distracted from what I’m intending to do, but that’s part of the magic of Zelda. Looks great on my TV!

Absolutely phenomenal. The best sequel Nintendo has made in a long time. If you want to explore and complete everything, you’ve got hundreds of hours of gameplay to enjoy. Simply put, it’s beyond incredible and worth the $70. The adventure this whole generation has built up to is better than even it’s predecessor Breath of the Wild. Fun and epic all throughout. Get this game!

I love this game when I first got it. The story line was very good and exploration was immaculate. When I started exploring, there was plenty to do play and battles to fight the, story line was completely different from breath of the wild. There is plenty to explore the map is similar to bed a while, but we completely new challenges and things to explore. I could spend hours and hours on this game!

I’ve been a long time Zelda fan ever since my first Zelda game—Ocarina of Time. I absolutely loved BOTW so obviously TOTK was a no-brainer. The game is both similar and very different from TOTK, and anyone saying it’s just BOTW DLC is lying to you. I spent hours just building stuff with the new abilities that Link gets, which lead to some hilarious moments. Please pick this game up and experience it for yourself because it’ll probably be the last Zelda game in this style (for now…).

Best switch game 2024! Good story line and the additional new mechanics provide a limitless creativity! I’m fairly new to owning a switch and playing Nintendo games and I feel like this game delivers all aspect of a good story, combat, progression and etc.

Beyond any previous experience and expectations. This game is absolutely phenomenal. The scope. The depth. The detail of this game far exceeds the previous entry. This is a game you can spend countless hours exploring and still probably not find everything. The story and the mechanics are even better as well. Overall a great experience.

After 5 years of playing Breath of the Wild on switch i had to get my hands on this new game. Definitely took some time to get used to, there are so many more things to do in this game and everything is so similar yet so different from BOTW.

This was a gift for my husband who is going on a deployment soon. He is not a gamer by any means, but he needs something for entertainment on down times! I wasnt sure how he'd react, but he was ver excited and started playing immediately lol its been about a week already and hes obssesed! The open gameplay, the storyline and side quests, he loves it all! Even just watching him play is entertaining lol the amount of things you can customize and explore is wild! Its like Zelda meets Skyrim, awesome combo. This game is worth every penny, no regrets!

I took effort in not getting any spoilers before starting this game. There are so many LAYERS to it. I'm taking my time and enjoying it so much. $70 is a hefty price tag but if you compare other games on the market starting out at $60 it's worth it. I can see myself spending 100s of hours playing this.

Tears of the Kingdom simultaneously further refines and expands upon one of the best games ever made! If you liked Breath of the Wild, this is for you. If you like Minecraft, this is for you. If you like open world adventures with near endless exploration, this is for you. In short, this is for you!

Nintendo hits it out of the park with follow up to Breath of the Wild. Tears of the Kingdom is an amazing game improves on everything Breath of the Wild did greatly. Adds new places to explore and even places from Breath of the Wild are changed up just a little so it feels new.
