Idk man. On the one hand I really loved BoTW. But on the other hand… I don’t know that I feel like revisiting that world. I don’t know how to explain it but I sort of wanted… a different Zelda experience I guess. But maybe I’m just missing the nostalgia of OoT and Majora’s Mask. In those games I appreciated talking to the characters and the dungeons. In BoTW (and from the initial looks of it this game)… I didn’t spend much time at all talking to npcs and worldbuilding details, nor doing much dungeon diving. It was just exploring the open world like 95% of the time. That’s not… bad per se… just a very different style of game. Or so it feels to me anyways.

I wasn't as crazy about BotW as everyone else, but I have been having a blast with TotK. None of the major issues I had were exactly fixed, but there's just so much more and I'm in love with the new abilities and freedom/creativity they allow. I might even beat this one!

@mightymochi6320

That's great because I personally thought BotW was insanely overrated and ultimately a generic and monotonous open world game with no sense of uniqueness.

There are about to be dozens of open world, survival, crafting games with a terribly implemented fuse system. Can't wait to see everyone try to mimic this feature and fall flat! Great review!

That relationship between action and inaction makes such a difference for my immersion level. Especially with open world games, the marketing tends to oversell the quality there. But with BotW, I found it delivered. Glad to hear the sequel continues that.

Hey karak. Great review as always. Much appreciated. Listening to you for a while now. Used to follow the podcast too until you left KZread and twitch. Love the stuff. Anyway I always wonder if you think about adding any type of musical backing to your videos. It's not necessary or anything but I wonder if you've ever thought about it or have tried it and I'm just not remembering. I'm a bit forgetful. Well... A lot forgetful.

I don't know if you do this in other videos, but I loved your in video captions and kind of showed how much fun you had experimenting with stuff

I was worried before the game came out but now that I've played it for an entire weekend I'm blown away by how fun the game is and it gives me a similar sense of adventure that the first game did but in new and fun ways.

The journey to the first main dungeon was one of the most thrilling things I've ever done in a video game.

The rare ACG Switch Game Review! Thanks as always!

After finally having beaten it and putting about ~45 hours into it - I feel like I can confidently say this is a much better game that Breath of the Wild. However, I'm left wanting pretty much the same things I wanted after I beat BOTW and, as you mentioned, it loses that surprise factor that BOTW had when it was the first open world Zelda game. BOTW was such a new experience that even if it wasn't really packed with things to do, I still considered it a near perfect attempt at the first open world Zelda game and I was excited to see how they would build on this. With TOTK, it feels refined but I feel let down at how much they didn't improve. I'm still left wanting more enemy variety, I'm still left wanting better "dungeon" designs, I'm still left wanting at least a slightly more interesting combat system (the flurry timing in this game was off to me), and I'm still wanting a Zelda open world that is as interesting as it is vast. Good lord the Sky Islands are sparse and boring and the Depths feel repetitive and boring after a while. And above all, I'm wanting Nintendo to move on from the Switch immediately. The frame rate dips, low resolution, etc. is starting to get less easy to forgive after getting used to the performance of a PS5. In the end, if someone hasn't played either I would 100% recommend Tears of the Kingdom over Breath of the Wild at this point. If someone didn't really like BOTW, I just don't think this gives you much of a reason to change your mind unless you were really begging for a sandbox of toys where you can create whatever it is you want to help fight enemies or traverse landscapes. While this part of TOTK is really awesome, none of it is necessary to play or beat this game and is therefore just not critical to the enjoyment of the game for me.

Thank you as always! Love the podcast to 👍🏻

I am excited for the game but honestly I’m even more excited to see my kids play it this summer. I’m a divorced dad that lives on the otherside of the US so our biggest bonding mechanism are video games.

It was funny how people said it would have a more symphonic soundtrack but the music was even more downplayed than in BotW. In the first game when you came upon a sleeping Hinox there would be this sort of bumbly jazz music and it felt really cool and overall the music was good I thought in the original. But this one seems to have chosen to downplay the music even more to the point to the point to where it's almost something that you can ignore entirely.

Already a Patreon, but it's great seeing you review Nintendo titles as well (I know you've done a few in the past, namely Rabbids titles which I picked up based on your recommendation!). Zelda doesn't need much of an explanation but you've gone above and beyond in this review once again. Thanks Karak and look forward to hearing everyone's opinions of this title in the next podcast.

First off. Excellent review. I love your channel and everything you do for the gaming community. Second, I'm probably going to receive some backlash for this but I'm genuinely curious. I did not enjoy Breath of the Wild and have attempted multiple times to return to experience it, but always end up falling away. It was such a significant shift away from what Zelda had created with the carefully-crafted Dungeons and focusing more heavily on being a large open World adventure game with the world being the primary focal point, with smaller micro dungeons akin to power based puzzles spread across a world, rather than compacted into a cohesive central whole. This made it one of, if not the best adventure games ever made, but it didn't feel like Zelda to me. At least not what I had been loving about Zelda games since my early childhood and what I continued to return to Zelda games for. For those who maybe didn't jive with breath of the wild for what it originally was and what it changed from the original Zelda formula, does TotK make enough changes to give it another shot, or will the same sentiments still be experienced? I'm not trying to try to be edgy with not liking one of the best games of all time, but it never really hit what I looked for from the Zelda series. And this may be too early to ask this question to the masses given that it just released but am interested in the sentiment after some runtime.

Appreciate you dude. Thanks for all the great work. Keep it ACG!!!

Agreed, and unfortunately for this release, it's long overdue. 30fps caps with 20fps dips common in complex scenes and at times, in towns, is kind of unacceptable these days. From what I've seen, TotK runs great at 30fps most of the time (Digital Foundry), and the controls are uber responsive, which is imperative for a good experience, but everything from the visual quality to the framerate and other limitations just seems like such an unnecessary, missed opportunity, when we know that Nintendo could release a new Switch with similar specs to the Steam Deck, or better. Although the price point may increase for that. If not another Switch, then it's time to start releasing first-party titles on other systems finally.

But to have it looking like a late PS3 game topping at 30fps is just a shame when Nintendo probably has the funding and chops to make a 60fps capable system with better visuals for this game, to boot.

I agree with you but the underpowered hardware also makes the dev teams be creative with where they put their priorities and resources. So many devs these days throw in so much bloat with little payoff for the player. They have all graphics with less gameplay mechanics, creativity and more bugs/performance issues.

1st one I completed on wii u, it was a lot of fun....this looks so much better. Counting on this being re-released on the new switch

Fully voiced characters would make it more worth the next gen costs.

I was looking forward to your review the most. Your work is always top notch. Thanks for putting your audience first when you review.

Its funny that there are very few that has the ballz, to give Zelda games a an honest review. Because they are afraid of what other people would feel about them. And fears to get bullied by Nintendo nerds. I respect that outlet that gave this game a 6 out of 10. Because this game with a lot of reused assets, performance issues, story and much more doesnt qualify for a 9 or 10 score... Zelda games are the only games that ACG and Skillup, wont give their 100% truth on. HAHA💀 its their hidden not so hidden kryptonite haha

This is why Pokemon S/V needed more time in the oven and why LoZ isn't shackled to a holiday release. I'm happy this game did well but this is all the evidence we need to improve the Pokemon games moving forward. I mean LoZ has merch of its own and that still didn't force a holiday release. We were supposed to get this game last holiday season and thankfully we didn't. Great review ACG!

Last i heard was S/V is still not fixed but I really hope that's not the case. Its been out for a long time now

I’m so excited for the game and this just made me even more excited

ACG is truly the GOAT for video game reviews! Original style descriptions for gameplay and being honest is something I appreciate in this realm! THANK YOU! :)

Usually yes, but he's admitted he wasn't a fan of the OG BOTW, so I take any negatives with a pinch of salt. This game ROCKS 10/10 ❤
