probably the same kind of people that complain about spiderman miles morales isnt 8K 120 FPS. the kind of people who always buy the latest gpu every year
I’m over 400+ hrs for TOTK lol, I do love game but I still have issue with weapon and shields braking way too soon Imo. Even while fusing stuff to them. But better the BOTW. The other minor gripe is wish game was at 60 fps or on ps5.but that never happen. Hopefully switch 2 or switch pro is at least as powerful as steam deck and has 16 GB for Nintendo next gen system. I do agree with some ppl. Low fps at time is annoying. Love my switch but it’s is old mobile Tegra ARM cpu and Nvidia Maxwell GPU ( GTX 9xx), are so obsolete now vs even PS4. The PS4 1.8 tflop is more powerful then switch is which less 1.0 Tflops. TOTK still good but would run so much better on better hardware. I do wish Nintendo go back decent hardware in box.
What a shock! A game made for a handheld console has worse graphics than a game made for a console that isn’t handheld. That’s crazy, nobody could have seen that one coming. Just wait until that guy sees Pokémon scarlet
like damn do you expect there to be thousands of glitches one week or one month after the game releases? people in the community gotta find em first plus there is always some king of glitch with every update
BRO I love tears of the kingdom and all of these people are literally comparing this to red dead and spider-man….ITS A NINTENDO DUH IT HAS SLIGHT WORSE GRAPHICS.Bro this reminds me of all those people saying spider-man 2 the game is a dlc of spiderman remastered
TOTK is an excellent game. The story is a bit reliant on time travel (if you complain about spoilers deal with it, it’s been 3 months since the game came out) I’ll admit. But the fact that you can build anything only limited by your imagination and the item attach limit is excellent. Combat is now more in depth because you have all sorts of fun things to play with like Puffshrooms, Muddlebuds, etc. They expanded upon the characters after the events of BOTW. The graphics are excellent for the type of game it is. I have actually have had no issues whatsoever with frames dropping whenever I’m using Ultrahand or setting things on fire
how does a game being out for 3 months = spoiling stuff is fine? I mean, you do know about the time travel after getting rewind but cmon man a lot of people don't always play the shiny new game. It always sucks to want to play an older game and then people spoils it(case in point, I bought Hollow Knight and got random, major spoilers for the story with the explanation being "it's 6 years old"
You know what? I'm supporting those who say that the story is a bit too shallow. Farming the dragon tears is quickly done, and then you basically know everything while still having dzens of hours to play before the main story is actually finished. And recruiting the sages is - storywise - just too similar. Kind of the same issue I had with Octopath Traveler, feels like you are followjng the exact same story path with every single character. But thats really the only complaint I have with this game. Still easily the most fun I'd have with any video game in a long time.
The dragon tears were definitely a bad choice. I got the quest on my way to Rito Village on the first day of launch. I assumed I needed to do it since it was on the way so I went around collecting them. (Actually managed to get 3 tears before the freakin paraglider since I couldnt figure out the towers/ didnt talk to Purah enough) By day 2 I had all the tears and no other main quests done so I sat there while every character was like "Where's Zelda" for TWO MONTHS knowing that she was fake until the Hyrule Castle bit caught everyone up to speed. I really think they couldve handled that better/ let Link tell people sooner. Also a lot of the story felt a bit like an OoT reboot with the Sages and even Ganondorf's whole thing somehow felt less developed Id still give the game a solid 9/10 though, maybe no.6 on my favourite Zelda list because I dont think it reaches what it set out to achieve
but then those same people lose their mind when the hyper realistic characters have peach fuzz on their face like that oversteps some horrific boundary that should not dare be touched
BTW the graphics is totally okay as a AAA game, but if we take in count that it was made for an outdated (its already 6 years old btw) handheld console... its straight up stunning. Emulating it on pc is beautiful (switch does 1080p 30fps docked, mods on pc allow higher fps). In terms of the world is "empty". It isn't, but less animals are spawning (compared to botw for example) due to optimization, and if you are running through a forest too fast for example, then the game have no time to load in the animals, and you might think that they are extinct... Also the shrines are great... but using any item/block as a moving plaform with ultrahand +recall kinda breaks 40% of the shrines(i finished them all, the rest are mostly blessing shrines, or fighting ones).
Not to mention other games like New Super Mario Bros, all the games the guy who commented before me listed, Twilight Princess, Other M… Okay, not the last one, but your point still stands.
@@Exploding_Bagels i cant tell if you replied to me because my username is "The" but my @ is subscribe56 but on the notifications its The so yeah. why did i even write this you probably dont even care
I passed the Ascend Shrine by accident..... climbing back up to that shrine from the opposite required me to stick around 7 trees together which were only available at the bottom of the hill and drag the whole thing up so I could climb up the cliff to the shrine. Was so happy when I was finally down in Hyrule 😅
This was my first Zelda game and tbh it wasn't even that bad. Time consuming? Yes, it took me like an hour or two to get off the island but hard? I'd say it feels standard in difficulty, especially compared to the rest of the game.
Man, I feel so young now! I love a link to the past and think it still holds up beautifully. But I had a similar experience with twilight princess, and thought those graphics were amazing, even though I never played it until a few years after it released. I was 3 when it came out. I love the art style in BOTW and TOTK because I don’t think games need to look so real that it can be mistaken for reality. Games are a form of escape and not a whole new world.
@@williammckinney5213 sadly, by the time ocarina came out I was already in my twenties, employed any in to going to pubs so I missed out on the rest for ages. It wasn’t until my youngest saw me replaying LTTP on the switch that he asked me to get him an N64, so I got him OOT and MM, then promptly borrowed them lol.
@@williammckinney5213Right, and some people seem to forget that this is a _fantasy_ game -- the races and monsters are all made up. How is a "real" Hylian/Rito/Gerudo/Moblin/Bokoblin/Chuchu supposed to look?
TOTK is a clear 9/10 for me. What draws it down from the clear 10/10 is clumsy building mechanics (because it leans so hard into building stuff), frame rate issues due to poor hardware (graphics are good for what the hardware is.. but I imagine this fun engine and graphics on better hardware). Story, world, gameplay and so much more is hands down top tier, amazing. BUT it is also just sometimes so frustratingly difficult… heck, even Dark Souls is easier sometimes. I would never hand this to a kid after I saw my friends kid just spend all his time just trying to get out of the starting areas and never gotten to enjoy getting good. It is so unforgiving as a game that it has no slack at all for players who just wants to enjoy the story aspect and exploration, or do goofy stuff… because goofy stuff will get you killed. I am by no means saying the game should hold a players hand.. because most things can be solved by just churning your brain a little a bit and understanding the logic of things to solve it (remove weapons whenever one of the daily thunderstorms hit you for example, but it could use fewer rain and thunderstorms.. the weather is even more moody than in England). However, some enemies can suck it… and I am talking about you stupid red blobby eye hands.
I don't fully agree with this, graphics is one of many factors to consider. That doesn't mean games with lower quality graphics are always worse, but in general if you're spending 10s of hours in a game you want it to be aesthetically pleasing.
@@dickurkel6910That’s how games like TOTK use stylisation to get around limitations in sheer graphical quality, there is a reason some old games have aged great and others haven’t in terms of looks
I don't know, it seems like a common complaint that tears runs at 30 frames per second but honestly if people hadn't said that 50 times I wouldn't have noticed.
i find it funny that people think these are bad graphics but when you look at how good the game looks on the hardware that the switch uses it is actually impressive that they have made it look this good
Yeah, I’m shocked at the amount of “bad graphics” reviews, when it’s like you bought a game made for the switch… and you expected it to look like horizon forbidden west??? I’m honestly impressed they got the game to look that good on the switch. Considering what system the devs were working with, TOTK is stunning
If you just want graphics in a game that means you don’t want to game you want to movie that’s exactly what the movie is. It’s just beautiful graphics that you don’t have to interact with. If you want to movie go watch a movie stop giving awesome video games bad reviews .
This was my first Zelda game and it’s already one of my favorite games ever I just finished it yesterday and now I’m sad the journey was fantastic the ending was superb
Sweet, welcome to an incredible series. Get botw for sure. If you prefer open world than play the first two on switch online NES, If you don't mind a more linear progression, links awakening is great as well.
To all the people who complain about the bad graphics I just have two things to say. First do you realize that as art there is room for expression not everything in a game has to be photo realistic to be good. Second and I think even more sad is do these people realize that the most popular game ever made had graphics that were majorly outdated by the standards of the day, and that gap has only gotten larger.
The textures are noticeably kind of low resolution. There's no getting around that. That being said there are things way more important that the game doesn't do well at than just graphics.
@@AsterionIsaac Xbox fans when the game they were hyped about was not what was promised so they go after Nintendo fans to ruin their happiness for a new hyped game "Zelda fan when we tell them the texture are 144p at best: 'uh uh not every games have to be photorealistic 🤓' "
I might have been agreeing with a lot of these if I had rage quitted in the first bits of the game like these people. But one thing I don't understand about these.. BAD GRAPHICS? COLORS???? WHAT???????
@@TheRflynn yeah I remember the great sky island It felt like a bunch of random colors where attacking my eye lol but other then that I didn't really notice the fps drop (except when I use ultra hand)
I have always said this to everyone I have ever talked to that says the game is bad becuase of bad "graphics" to witch I reply EVER time, graphics doesn't make the game, the gameplay makes the game, the graphics and the images is just the paint layer that makes the game visually apealing if the graphics ever make the gameplay it is usaully a video game with a paint program lol not hating on Mario Paint that game was cool at the time lol
I don't understand the old vs. the new zelda game take. I've played so many of the 'classic' zeldas before playing botw/totk and I love them all. Seriously, it's like some people hate innovation and originality Edit: Oh my notifications. If you're gonna replay to a comment in the reply section, please actually do it instead of writing their @
It's people like that that keep Nintendo from making what I REALLY want next... a Legend of Zelda RPG where Link has a full adventuring party with him, extensive dialog options, and branching plotlines. I find the idea that a Zelda game HAS to be a specific kind of gameplay to be very irritating.
I think it's about having good story structure, and compelling quests, and intricate well designed dungeons. Botw and TotK have taken big steps back when it comes to story, both are told through memories, and not compelling events happening in the present. Characters are very shallow compared to previous games, we aren't given any time to get to know characters and their relationship with Link, it's more like we're told their relationship with Link instead of being shown it and exploring it. The only part I liked was the Gerudo main quest leading to the light temple just because the little tower defence part was kinda interesting. Previous games would have beautiful set pieces for dungeons. Lots of decoration that meant something. The dungeons would have good structure and pacing, introduce a central theme for the dungeon design and puzzles to revolve around. Each of the puzzles were interlocked, each one leading to the next and building on what was introduced before, unlocking new parts of the dungeon in clever ways. It made the entire dungeon feel like one big puzzle that you were unraveling out. It made the dungeon feel holistic and well thought out. But these dungeons do nothing of the sort, they're like an extension of the overworld, a big playground of separately designed parts. Except the light temple which held some semblance of a traditional al Zelda dungeon with its design, the rest of the dungeons were crap. Just a case of find 5 mini puzzles to add to a counter in separated parts of the dungeon and come back for the boss fight, simple and repetitive. The dungeons didn't even look special (except the wind temple ship, it looked cool, just the dungeon layout was badly designed). Skyward Sword still has the most beautiful dungeons, big set pieces with gorgeous statues and decoration, often times they would play into the puzzles too. Why have we taken such a huge step back in dungeon design? I like TotK and BotW, but as big sandboxes explore and mess about in and not as Zelda games. I do wish story and dungeons were on par with the rest of the series, especially dungeon puzzle solving as this was what Zelda was known for. It's abandoning brand identity and alienating fans. Big open worlds are ok, exploring and crafting is ok, but don't throw dungeons which are the series' bread and butter to the sidelines.
@@SwiftbowNot that it has to be like old Zelda. Big open worlds are good, crafting and vehicles is good. But why is the story and dungeons so half-assed? Read my above comment for more. Some of us miss old Zelda because they did many things right which are half-assed in the new games. It's ok to expand and introduce new things, but that doesn't mean you can be lazy on the things you're known for and have been doing well for 35 years.
@@PomuLeafEveryday I agree with you in the sense that just because these two games did well, it doesn't mean every zelda has to be like it now. Games like ocarina of time and twilight princess sacrificed the feeling of an actual world for storytelling, and vice versa for botw. So yeah, I want variation between zelda games. Hopefully we get more linear and open world games in the future as well as new styles such as side scrollers that are good like have a nice death
@@PomuLeafEveryday I thought the story was excellent and the puzzles/dungeons great. So I think that's more opinion than anything else. I was never a fan of gigantic temples... they required a huge time investment to finish.
Honestly people who say this isnt a real zelda game because it doesn't follow the oot formula are just plain ignorant. It's like if people said oot was not a real Zelda because its different to the 2d games or if i said mario 64 wasnt a real mario game because its not like the OG super mario bros. Edit: Jesus Christ I've started a blood bath in the replies! That's a lot of salt! 😂
I say it's not a real Zelda game. It doesn't need to follow the OOT to a T obviously that's stupid but the game is TOO different from all the other games, like Zelda 2.
@@mr.k3477 It's a Zelda game if it's about Link and Zelda/set in a world that has Hyrule in it. The gameplay mechanic is irrelevant. Zelda 2 absolutely IS a Zelda game... it was the second one.
@@mr.k3477yeah well guess what. WE DONT WANT A FRICKING FORMULA. we zelda fans want refreshing new concepts instead of “sticking to the formula”. We’re not all nostalgia suckers.
depending on when it was written it may have been about that the duplication glitches and stuff that were patched. but I don't think that makes it deserve a bad review.
I love both the classic zeldas and botw/totk, but I really hope they do another older styled one at some point in the future. totk was a step up from botw tho with the unique bosses that have the older battle mechanics.
Which boss had older style mechanics? The mucktorok that required a water weapon from a fused opal? Colgera that had you dive-bombing him to break the ice in his belly and bullet-time shooting his weak points? Maybe the gleeok that had you shooting arrows with keys eyes attached? Please enlighten me what mechanics from the old games are in this?
Shooting weak points with arrows is CLASSIC Zelda. Are you really that mad that you can do it from the air now? Also, keese eyes and other attachments aren’t required. You are fully capable of just shooting the thing if that’s what you prefer. But it’s not like gimmicky arrows are anything new either. As for the mucktorok? “Make the thing pop out of its hiding spot with some gimmick and then whack it” is also pretty classic
Personally i would prefer a Link Between Worlds type of style as it never made sense on why the dungeon item you needed to use to kill the boss was inside said same dungeon. The story progression in that game is also based on how many dungeons a person beats so you don't have to worry about getting the story out of order so it is easy to keep track of and this was on the 3ds by the way.
Most of these is just people complaining about: Art style They are bad at the game They clearly have no idea how the build system works They think building and crafting is exclusive to minecaft Clearly haven’t actually played the game long enough to progress any of the story
That’s reviews in a nutshell. Critics generally have their head up their ass, so they’ll just blindly hate on shit for those reasons alone and call it a day to wait for their worthless $100 check for reviewing something
I dont understand the people who say it has a horrible story or "no" story. It was probably my favorite story of any Zelda game ever, at the very least it made me care more about the character of Zelda than any previous Zelda game
I kinda understand the tutorial being hard for some people, figuring out how to get the shrines on the great plateau in BOTW took me way too long (skill issue I know), it took me way less time to get the shrines in TOTK though, maybe past experience from BOTW idk
Think it's just how you end up exploring. Watched a friend play it without giving hints and the poor guy ended up going "the wrong circle" around the island and it took him ages and was very tedious.
People have no clue how hard it is to make an open world game that can be played in any order to follow a story line. All the possible outcomes, all the different dialouge for the npc's for every side quest so the experience still feels real to the player no matter how they play the game. Its like these people want another low budget linear game that allows no flexibility. Go play Metroid Dread if that's what you want.
That would have been cool but it feels like every event in totk happens in a vacuum. ESPECIALLY after watching the same sage cutscene FOUR TIMES. Wow, Zelda asked you to for help one time? that TOTALLY justifies contacting a sage thousands of years in the future. It's not like she REUSED THE SAME LINE on ALL FOUR SAGES
I think a lot of these people are just complaining that they don't have the brain capacity to handle the amount of content and building mechanics in this game lmao
Probably because the TOTK building system requires imagination to use... and their spoiled 'must be 120fps and super hd realistic graphic' minds have atrophied because they have no need to use it. I mean they'd probably have a heart attack if they tried to play some of the older classics from the nes era...
@@warailawildrunner5300exactly! Most people nowadays need to have the game hold your hand through most of it. This game pushes you in with no information, and says “GO,” and I LOVE that.
Exactly. My brother is exactly like this, normally only plays braindead online games and now that he had to think for once he got mad about everything.
It's clearly a great game, so anything less than 8 / 10 is being silly. But, yes, I think some of these reviews allude to real issues. Things like enemy variety, combat mechanics, world variety (e.g. the depths). 99.9% of people are massive fans of the Zelda series, me included, but that shouldn't mean we can only heap praise on everything.
My review : (yes, I do know that no one asked for my opinion.) 10/10 Best game I’ve played, it has an incredible story, good graphics and frame rate for a switch game that has a map 3 times bigger than BOTW’s map, it has unbelievable mechanics like vehicles, weapons of mass destruction and customization of the character that has exceeded my expectations. Oh, and there’s lots of different sports. Such as *Bokoblin camp bombing* *Lynel hunting* *Gleeok hunting* *Talus hunting* *Hinox hunting* *Molduga hunting* *Frox hunting*
There's also horses, the Glide Armor, Paraglider, and Tulin; and you can build tanks, boats, planes, the VTOL from Black Ops II, and the almighty hoverbike
Fast travel doesn't help until you've explored the map. There's rarely ever a shrine or tower exactly where you want to go. And when you fast travel, you give up any vehicle or horse you had. So you have to rebuild or go to another stable. Most of the game is travel time. Breath of the Wild was the same way, but Tears of the Kingdom is worse in this regard with the depths and sky islands. It might not always be walking, but the sentiment is valid.
I didn't like it to begin with. I came straight from finishing BOTW. I now love it so much. Im old enough to remember playing OOT on the N64. These youngsters have no idea about bad graphics, or the pain of waiting whether the game you loaded from a cassette tape will actually play, or will you have to wait another 20 minutes to reload it.
People today: "totk hAs SoMe BaD gRaPhIcS" Me: "wow mario kart ds, super mario party ds and ocarina of time 3ds have awesome graphics" Also me after trying botw for the first time: *IMPROVE*
@@smaaron_j_46 its a problem when a game that is releasing exclusively on a "modern day console" has lag and dips in fps, but this is a general problem with nintendo as a whole and not with the game itself.
dude how are ppl complaining about graphics? its got three maps and they have to make it switch compatible, also the game is beautiful like the sunsets????
It's quite the business strategy, pay millions of people to like a game and hope to get all that money back. Seems easier to just make a game people like... oh. They do. The conspiracy nonsense is nonsense as usual, hooray!
1:57 it all ways has me laughing at these people who don’t realize that not every game has to have god tier realistic graphics and some games actually try to be different than some adventure games by tailoring the art style to be “cartoony”
i swear Necktiedaddy is the sort of person whose favourite character is the annoying Scrapper robot and his favourite game is the CDi Zelda. Nostalgia has blinded these people.
I own both consoles. Switch sucks. This game sucked. I enjoyed the over world again, botw is a masterpiece after all. But the depths are boring and barren with Minecraft mechanics... A clear deviation from zelda. I'm not a Gen z narcissist that lives behind a screen tho... So it's def not for me. Sky isles falsely advertised as a place to explore, but they're empty and serve as nothing more than ad fodder. Lastly, $70 at release... We were grifted like Donald trump grifts his Maga cult. Hooray 15 fps in shade while the wind blows tho.
@@clawitzeristhebestpokemon8765 I don't disagree, but mining for in game purchases of battery life is such a drag. It was the only way nintendo could justify the depths.
If you hate the graphics and colors on the switch, just play it on a TV or monitor. I find it to be more aesthetically pleasing that way. 🤷♀️ It should be played on a larger screen anyway imo.
Actually, I empathize with the person who struggled with the tutorial. Specifically the very end. Raru and the quest log nudge you towards Hyrule after clearing the ToT, with NO indication that the random empty looking debris above you is important in any way. Then the game spends its first bit of gameplay encouraging leaping from high spaces, and because more emphasis was placed on that as a navigating solution in navigating the Sky Islands as opposed to Ascend, I saw the debris and thought, "Oh, that must be the endgame area", and tried to leap to Hyrule, only for the game to *suddenly* decide "Actually, you can't do that thing we've been letting you do this whole time. You have to trigger the story important cutscene first." Also having to backtrack to get the 4th shrine instead of it being accessible right away is just padding. I told my friend after I FINALLY made it to Hyrule, "This game had better completely blow my mind after this or I'm refunding." Then I went to the Depths.
Interestingly I avoided the Depths for quite some time because I didn't have as much fun with them as I had with the skyislands. After I had explored basically all of them I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more of them. Then I got to like the Depths more because i followed the quest more (in all honestly I wasn't always paying attention and sometimes forgot what I was supposed to do as I can't play 10 - 12 hours like I could as a kid) I really started to getting to like the Depths more. And then I wanted to explore it all. I do sometimes wonder if my love for exploration will disappoint me once I have explored everything interesting there is to see and whether or not I have ruined the stories of the quests a bit by exploring preemptively.
Must have only ever played something like Metroid Prime but even then, just compare the original to its remaster. All this assuming that they actually even ever played on the system or know what it is.
"Theres no originality! Its just a $70 DLC for breathe of the wild" "Why isnt it like the exact same format that has been used over and over again for 30 years?!?!"
Theres a huge gap between reusing 99% of a game and using the same bases but doing a brand new experience. Just because some of you may have forgotten, theres only 2 year between Ocarina of Time and Majora mask. Both games have their own identities. Both game are awesome. Both game have their own mechanics. Theres 6years between BOTW and TOTK. The games are the same in so many way, I have to check Link's hair lenght to determine which game i am playing (thats like one of the few differences between both games)
That's what I hate about modern gamers nowadays. All they care about is the graphics. Yes the performance can be annoying at some point, as the Switch is getting outdated, but it is easily playable. I haven't finished this game and I love it way too much. Graphics do not matter, that's why I think people are stupid, this wasn't Nintendo's plan, it was to make a game as open and impactful as possible.
@@iluvyurblesperhaps we are grown and have families... So we don't have time to goof. If that was the point of the game, then just call it Botw 2.0 - links sandbox
This game was the reason I purchased a Switch, which is the first gaming system I’ve purchased since 2009. It rekindled my love for gaming after all these years.
3:01 "ZERO EVOLUTION!" These reviewers have gone fricking mad! Excuse my language. The game added dungeons that were 10x better than BotW, there's 10x more content, the construction mechanic is actually really deep and this dude has not experimented, I think he's only spent 10 hours.
A ton of new content, but also much recycled stuff. The overworld is mostly riddled with same monsters (bokoblins and lizalfos), and the graphics and base game engine are the same as botw. It's definitely a bunch of evolution thanks to the 2 new maps and new abilities, but I wouldn't agree that it's as extensive as some people claim.
@@dickurkel6910 Ok but what about the durability system? In botw you didn’t want to fight enemies because your weapons break but in TotK you do because you get better fuse material that adds 25 durability and attack damage, and if you break decayed weapons you can find those pristine weapons in the depths. They put 4 years into the game for many reasons, and I also think the graphics were improved slightly.
I do find that it was much harder in the early game especially since the fuse mechanic was awful to me before I figured it out, making all the weapons do like no damage, and the enemies definitely hit harder than in botw. Other than that these people have no clue what they’re talking about lmao
Yeah, exactly. Something like "hey, there were these glitches in the previous game that allowed for faster traversal, and I felt they really added to the experience and were my favorite way to move around, so I wish they hadn't fixed them" or "I thought the previous game's difficulty was more accessible, I'm having a harder time with the tutorial here than in the botw" are pretty understandable reason to enjoy the game less, but these do not single-handedly make a game a 1/10.
discord mod reviews. totk is quite literally amazing, they implemented a hard to implement mechanic, so much math and time went into Link's arm, there is so much story and lore. If they aren't impressed, i wish them good luck in life. maybe they need to visit the outdoors.
I agree it's an amazing game, but not sure about "so much math and time went into Link's arm, there is so much story and lore." What about link's arm is super special? do you mean the new abilities? and I'd argue the story/lore wasn't really that impressive, although it was better than botw.
@@dickurkel6910 For example the abilities like ultra-hand, and the ability to place objects together, its not common for a company to implement that, because its known to be hard to implement that kind of mechanic. So yes, the new abilities.
First people complain Zelda games are too similar and too linear. So Nintendo changed the story and made it non-linear, and now people want the old Zelda games back
I debated one guy for awhile who was spent HUNDREDS of hours mapping the Depths ON FOOT because he said the hoverbikes were "cheese." Frankly, I think he just didn't think of them while he was wasting his time and then got mad when he found out there was a better way.
@@darkionx Why didn't you unlock autobuild? Once I figured out that the large mines with the stores were under all the towns, I made a beeline to open up each of them so I could get my battery upgraded. Couple that with the bonus boss fights and it didn't take all that long to max it out. Before that, I would attach extra batteries for additional time. Or just land more often.
@@darkionx I get that... but if you were doing Champions, you could have mostly ignored the Depths. Except for Yunobo and the last bit. Heck, I didn't have much when I did Death Mountain. And I got lost and ended up Ultrahanding my car up a lava waterfall. Then, right after that, I noticed there was a road I could have used. Anyway, I just found it odd that you did a lot of foot exploring when, if you WERE exploring, it would have been very helpful to explore the stuff that improved your battery first.
I'll give the guy credit on the tutorial area. It WAS hard, especially if you didn't tackle the shrines in the right order because you didn't see them. Trekking across the first sky island area was not easy, and finding the paths to the shrines was frustrating. ToTK is one of my top two favorite games of all-time, but it was a brutal start. It wasn't until I landed on Hyrule that I got more comfortable with everything and started enjoying it.
These salty fools forget that Nintendo doesn't use the strongest game system hardware hence why they're $200 cheaper than their competitors. So they make due with what they can do. Granted I had my own issues with the game from the weak story, the overworld not changed enough to feel different even if the developers say that was the point so old players wouldn't get lost, and the slight fps drop. I gave it a 7/10 and I'm sure someone will say I'm crazy or salty.
the map may not be different but as a botw player since its first release revisiting old areas gave such nastolgia. Just exploring the great plateau made me cry ;)
Breath of the Wild was my first Zelda game i ever played and i didn't think any other game could get better than it. Then Tears of the Kingdom released. It blew Breath of the Wild out of the water. I now am addicted to Zelda and now have played Links Awakening, Skyward Sword, Age of Calamity, and Twilight Princess.

So many of them are getting the switch itself and the game mixed up. "Game Cube could do better"......Are you reviewing the game or the system it's on? Two VERY different things
These people playing the same game?! I have almost 300 hours and am having a blast! It has engaging gameplay, challenging puzzles, and eye-pleasing graphics! I give it a 10 out of 10! They probably cant even defeat a red Bokoblin 😂😂 the map is largely the same but there are a lot of welcoming changes! The sky is riddled with islands and the depths I love it! Once you figure out the map mechanics between the surface and the depths it is a well engineered game! I love the characters and their stories! Well done Nintendo!
I kind of do agree with 'necktledaddy' over his comment (apart from the bad graphics stuff) because I do prefer many of the older LoZ games compared to Botw and totk. Yes both of these open world games are absolutely beautiful and have a nice story/good side quests, but games like majoras mask or windwaker or any of these older games were quite truly amazing for their time and had some bloody good music which I still listen to day by day and there was just something totally different and magical about them. I suppose many older fans who have played this series since childhood may not be as big a fan of these new open-world Zelda games as some other people who are recently discovering this franchise as I for one prefer the windwaker, but my final opinion will be that all LoZ games are truly amazing and in my eyes none of them are terrible.
The people who call tears a walking simulator obviously don’t get the point of THE ENTIRE ULTRAHAND MECHANIC. If you want it to be fun, don’t do everything the most boring way possible (e.g. walking everywhere).
I'm seeing more people disappointed with the game than people who actually enjoyed the game, or else a tie between the two, not tue other way around. I think totk is the most controversial game in the zelda series: for many a disappointment, for many others a masterpiece, the debate will never set. It's weird, although interesting to see such an anticipated game being so controversial in the community itself and for casual gamers also. What do you think? Let me know
Just finished it a few days ago I’ll still go back and do the last couple shrines easily one of the best games ever made. Botw was too but this game makes that game feel tiny
I give the game 9.5/10. In my opinion, the only issue with the game is... Purah. So many people are obsessed with her, but I can't stand her. As soon as you meet her, she calls you "Linky." That hits the ear SO wrong, like "B!tch, we're not intimate!" After the events of BotW, the only thing Purah should be allowed to call Link is "Sir." Also, she's supposed to be touted as some genius, but she comes off as an idiot in almost every interaction. The Shiekah Slate was also renamed for no reason that I can see other than that Purah is so undeservedly full of herself. I would rather play through both games with Navi annoying the bejesus out of me for the whole journey than to have one interaction with Purah in a fixed location. If it weren't for Purah, this game would be flawless.
people really don’t realize all the zelda games are a little more focused on gameplay, that’s pretty much how it’s always been, a classic “princess in danger” troupe, it’s more about the enjoyability of new mechanics and having fun either trying to complete it 100% like some people or just for people who like being able to explore and adventure through the MASSIVE MAP
I find it hilarious that most of the folks who say BOTW/TOTK "It's not even the best Zelda game!" aren't even old enough to remember when they games they are talking about actually came out nor have any context of reality of the time.
I mean, some of these reviews had legitimate concerns.. The game really does feel like dlc and it's nowhere near as revolutionary as, say, Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild. Not to mention that the weapon breaking system is STILL THERE and that some of the most basic features are locked behind really rather bothersome side quests (Exemple: Clothe upgrades with the fairy). I wouldn't give this game a below a 5.. but I sure as hell wouldn't give it higher than a 7 either. It's perfectly servicable.. but also incredibly overrated.
I would argue that the 'open world'iness is less in TOTK, than on BOTW. There are a LOT more linear blocks in this game (if you go to the wrong person in the wrong order) to where BOTW had almost NOTHING keeping you from going in whatever order you wanted. Case in point, who else in here was totally miffed when you went all the way to hatena and found out that you couldn't do anything there yet because you hadn't done something already with Robie and Josha at lookout landing??!? 😡😡😡
Oh darn. Having to break an egg to make an omelet is just soooooo hard! Never mind about making toast before putting butter on it! That's just outrageous! And time-consuming. And frustrating!!
Indeed, tho for me it happened with the Korok forest; turns out the game really, _really_ doesn't want you there until, well, it wants you there. And I happened to really want to go there when it felt like the "mid" point of the game while the game thinks that's the end stretch before the final boss. The result? Several days of gameplay in which I did nothing but aimlessly walking around and nothing happened because, despite this game having a lot more of everything than in BotW, the Forest region is the one exception and is mostly barren. Sadly, that stretch tainted a bit my opinion of the game. Still total Game of the Year and one of the best games I've played, but definitely below Breath of the Wild (and Odyssey for that matter).
EVERY SINGLE REVIEW GENUINELY FRUSTRATED ME BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT 125 HOURS IN THIS GAME! Also, don't you dare tell me to touch grass because half my channel is about doing outside activities (watching trains).
Even if we indulge the argument that TOTK is a Minecraft ripoff (which deserves no explanation on how wrong that is) shouldn't it be a good thing? Minecraft is one of the best selling games of all time, if a developer manages to figure out that same magic but with a new coat of paint/ideas who wouldn't be there for it? Again the argument is false but even if it wasn't, still not worth complaining about
Imagine if we had all the abilities from Botw in Totk, it really WOULD feel like a 70$ dlc. But if you spend time actually playing Totk, you know Botw feels like a demo for Totk.
Such an asinine comment. No one wants Minecraft mechanics in zelda. It deviates from the game. It's why I beat the game without exploring the depths... My time is valuable. I won't waste it on glorified dlc
@@sohailakmal3384such an asanine comment. Not only could you build your own boats and trains in the DS games, but most of the years following BOTW 's release were full of fans building complex mechanisms with the game's large and strangely stable suite of physics quirks, it deviates nothing as exploration and experimentation were the main driving force of the first few Zelda games, it's why i cleared every shrine and lightroot and played a majority of the side quests... My time is valuable, and that's why I spent it doing something I loved instead of being a little bitch baby online
@@CassiusStelar lolol. This was wannabe Minecraft. The depths sucked balls. I cleared everything in botw, but this isn't worth it.... It's just arduous. It's a loot based game this go around. Collect armor... Sigh
@@CassiusStelar so edgy lololol. Bro, the game is botw 2.0 - Links Giant Sandbox. I get they were inspired by fans breaking botw. It's a great idea for a game. But nothing was really intriguing whatsoever... Hence trying to hook fan boys with homages and references every turn. It's a lazy game... But great version of ganandorf. My favorite yet. And memories were great as well. But outside of that, as much as I adore botw, this game wasn't it, particularly afyer getting 100% on main and dlc for AC: Odyssey. Totk doesn't hold up to me anymore.
I feel like not all of these are hilariously bad. It’s just the 0/10 scores that seem woefully unnecessary. TotK isn’t perfect at all. I get tired of the constant BotW/TotK circle jerking that’s been happening for the past 8 years.
“It’s just a DLC.” So new shrines A big continuation on the story A complex building system New underground/sky New abilities New enemies Etc. And it’s just a DLC
- Shrines were bad. And they still suck. - No story to begin with on BotW. - Banjo & Kazooie nuts & bolt was shit but stick the zelda brand on it and its suddenly - the best game ever. Overworld is bland and empty. Now enjoy a "three time bigger" (no) blander and emptier map. - "Wow polaris can now grab and glue everything together, thats a brand new ability!" - 5 more ennemies and youre happy with it ?? Yeah thats clearly a DLC.
There is a lot of story that is added, even if the shrines were bad, there are still a lot of them, the depth in my opinion was a bit bland tho.@@AsterionIsaac
@@SillyNacho I really dont understand. So if the shrines are bad, its no big deal because theres a lot of them ??? So if I serve you a plate of whatever you absolutely hate, you will like it because "theres plenty of it ?" That make no sense. I would rather get thoses shrines away and get the OOT dungeon formula back. jabu jabu belly was bad but feel super awesome compared to thoses divine beast. Theres already no story in BOTW. Thats what I dont understand. I mean sure we got cutscene and all but in the end its only "Link died 100years ago and he's back. Well look princess disappeared and need your help". TOTK is " you almost died 5years ago. Hold on, the princess disappeared and need your help". Im starting to see a scheme...Even the side lore is missing, look at OOT. The story is not good but it almost feel like every npcs have their own stories. They were able to do that 24-25 years ago. But not anymore ? What ?
Game popular 0/10 I liked Tears of the Kingdom. Very fun game. But I saw how popular it was and then realized it was actually bad. Do not waste your time with this GARBAGE game from the Nintendo sellouts.
The only issues and complaint i have for ToTK is it's too big , there are like 1000 different things to do now it would have been great if the side quests are lower, i personally think BoTW was better but that's my opinion.
Agreed, BotW for me hits the sweet spot between content and size: it felt like it was perfectly designed for me in that something happened exactly when I was about to get bored of exploring and, conversely, the quest, boss or whatever I found, was just challenging or fun enough for me to want to do some more exploring afterward. TotK on the other hand, has too much, of everything. Almost three times more space to explore, more than thrice the number of overworld bosses, higher density of enemy camps, more koroks plus three other non-quests related to exploration (Addison, Koltin and that moon guy that keeps getting captured by monsters), almost twice the number of actual quests, etc. Mind you, it's pretty damn fun all there's to do, but I felt tired of the game a lot more often than BotW.
Dont get me wrong, I love this game and already have like 70 hours, but that one guy actually has a point. The tutorial area is garbage and made me stop playing for about a month. After I finally picked the game up again and started actually exploring hyrule I started to enjoy it more and more and now its definitely my game of the year.
Funny how everyone in the comments section here only reacts to the "graphics are bad" thing, but NOONE even reacts to other criticism like lack of dungeons, temples, bosses, items etc... tells me that noone actually is a real zelda fan around here, everyone just jumped on the hype train of wow ugu breath of the wild best game evorrr... go play some real zelda games. these last 2 entries in the series are just beyond boring and a disgrace for the decades of masterpieces before
A real Zelda fan and Zelda youtuber like zeltik, Who has played all the games, all of them, multiple times to search bits of lore and secrets in them, absolutely loved Tears of the Kingdom, so deal with It. It dosen't mean that "if you're a real Zelda fan, you gonna hate the game"
I have a lot of criticism of the game and BOTW, but I wouldn’t put it lower than 7/10. The game is well made and did what it wanted to do well. Most of my criticisms have more to do with not enjoying sandbox/craft type games. I do hope the next game blends the old with the current formula. Or Nintendo adds their own spin on the sandbox/survival idea. While it’s new to the Zelda franchise, the concept didn’t feel that different from the other sandbox games I’ve played since 2001.
