Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Did The IMPOSSIBLE... | Review 

I have to say TOTK is absolutely fantastic. I know a game is good when I suddenly realize I've played 10 hours straight. That literally never happens to me anymore but well, TOTK is special. It's incredible how Nintendo consistently blows the competition out of the water even though their hardware is weak to say the least. Legendary stuff.

Matty it's just the beginning. The game is incredible. 20 hours in has barely touched the surface. The amount stuff you still have to discover. Mind-boggling.

Just reaching the Wind Temple blew my mind

Ever since the Dreamcast days ive always wanted a game or imagined a game with real time fog that can be displaced and moved around in real time and its finally happened : D

I can't stop playing, IT'S SO FUN!

in the first 10 hours I was kind of like “we’ll this breath of the wild 2 alright”, but after 40 hours, and all the memories collected. This is def the better more fleshed out Zelda experience, period

Nintendo needs to setup build sharing within the game. That'd be awesome

Lmao at the intro "a little Zelda game not getting a lot of coverage online" 😂

Imagine how great the speed runs are gonna be and how creative the speed runners will have to get.

That advice at the end is huge! That’s the exact perspective I use for trying out new ps plus or game-pass games.

I couldn’t stop playing because I wanted to get the armor sets. I really love how creative you can be, the bosses that you fight, and even the story. I haven’t seen the whole thing because I’m trying to get all the memories and then see them in order. This game’s a lot of fun.

15:10 Matty, there is a menu option that literally inverts these two commands. It was there in BOTW and it still is in TOTK In game > pause button > system (all way to the right, where you save the game) > options > swap jump controls

I’m now really looking forward to Nintendo’s next console, because I feel in my bones that there’s going to be some kind of “Definitive Edition” at launch that resolves all the technical limitation problems. I’ve also got a feeling that with all the time, money, and manpower they’ve dedicated to building this iteration of Hyrule, that TotK is going to be Nintendo’s Skyrim or GTAV for a while.

That was the coolest intro ever. I’m blown away by the old school television 😅

Zelda games quite literally move the industry forward. There is a reason even other devs shut up and take notes when a new mainline title drops in the franchise and then you see so many games take the dna of the latest Zelda and run with it. For example one of the heads of rockstar once stated that if any dev of any modern 3d game tells you they weren’t inspired by ocarina of time they are lying to you. The titles that the Zelda team puts out are THAT important .

It reminds me of Prey. Chiefly, the moment I realized how much the abilities empowered me feels a lot like realizing how much the glue gun opened up exploration and changed the way I looked at every area in Prey.

Is it me or has the video game drought come to an end? We're being spoiled with all these great games lately.

It really is a masterpiece of a game. I haven’t had any noticeable issues with frame rate whatsoever except for about 20 seconds when I was on my way to Zora’s Domain out of 30 hours of gameplay and that’s it. I keep seeing people bring up the frame rate but I personally have not noticed anything. It’s a great once in a generation type of game and I cannot recommend it more. It’s brilliant.

Speaking on the creativity I saw a guy who was having trouble getting the flying things to launch so he put it on a cart and put fans on it and made it a flying car type thing

Here’s my take: It’s a great game but it doesn’t have the mind altering impact like BotW. Is it more than DLC for $70? Yeah but it also doesn’t feel like BotW 2… more like 1.5. Which is fine since BotW was such an awesome game to begin with.

Controls felt wierd to me as well, glad you brought it up, i had that issue with breath of the wild too, but not to the same degree. I actually get confused on rotating objects more often than id like.

Love the shirt Matty! Every day is great at your Junes!

Did you download the day 1 patch Matty? Digital Foundry said it made a huge difference.

I can't wait mine arrives tomorrow i can't wait to fight Ganondorf his design looks so sick easily my second favorite Ganondorf design

The creativity with this game is off the charts!!! Regarding that pinball shrine one you’re talking about. I thought I wonder if a bomb arrow will work and TA-DA it did! Lol. So many endless possibilities with this game. Makes breath of the wild almost look like a beta.

you can change Jump button from X to B, its in the settings

So this game is a 10/10 ...but all these reviews are forgiving the fps and glitches, it being on aging hardWare...😂😂

I'm still unpacking from a move across the country so I'm waiting until I can give it my full attention. Great review.

The shrine that you got hooked on. You can bombarrow those bullseye things

Hey man! I just stumbled upon your video and I have to say, I have had a VERY similar exp with both BOTW and TOTK. I liked Breath of the Wild but I absolutely think im gonna put in way more than 60 hours in tears of the kingdom as it is so much fun to play

The Zelda team are genius to make a game that adds so much to its sequel and make it feel fresh!! Undoubtedly will be Game of the Year

I love that the game "force" me to be very creative , its just so fn fun !

Love how you traversed the world to play this game 😂 Also because I put so many hours in BOTW the only control issues I had was the ability swap being mapped to L instead of (^) so I kept going into items when trying to change what ability I was using. I always look at Zelda games quite critically because I’m a huge fan, but this game blew my mind and I can’t get enough of it. For a switch game and; some games in general it’s a technological marvel. However the performance could use some love. It’s times like this I wish Nintendo would just make a legit PC emulator linked to Nintendo accounts. I get that Nintendo is huge in Japan and not many people have computers but it’s the cheaper option for them instead of making a new switch - plus they could still technically make sales *if* they made an emulator. That way hardcore Nintendo fans could experience 60 fps with no frame drops. They could continue to make handheld devices in the future but still get permanent revenue from people just buying their games for a “switch launcher”.

I’m back! That’s interesting that you never had that click with Zelda because, man wind wake is definitely one of my favourite games and I wish they brought it to switch. With botw, it really made me miss the classic Zelda’s with temples. But this new game is fantastic! Still haven’t done a temple.. it’s a huge game!

Bro, they removed EVERYTHING from the quarry in Akkala, that was my fav looting spot. Also, where are the Durians? They nerf’d the HOLY F out of hearty ingredients. I love it, they upped the challenge and it feels great

I hope you checked the options menu by now because you can't totally make B the jump button! It should be default though. Not seeing any severe frame dips at all. Neither did Digital Foundry. You may have a pre-patch copy.

Matty I love your Junes shirt

Game looks like it came out the same year as Morrowind.

I had the same problem with the control set up too ever since Breath of the Wild. I changed it to Super Mario World's style and all is right with the world again.

There’s an option in the settings to swap jump and spring so they make sense. I shudder for anyone who didn’t find that early on.

Can't wait for the sandbox fad to die.

Awesome review, Matty

Here the tip for the controls. You can swap the jump mapping from x to b. In the settings.

about the jump and sprint you can swap them its what i did and what make more sense to me . but you can swap them in the option at least

Shout out to the zelda lofi music in the background that shit got me thru so much homework

Of course im here on release day watching matty review this 😬

This was cool! Do you own any arcade 1ups?

I’m thinking about it at work and fusing logs together on the side of the road in my mind

U can switch dash and jump button in option menu

Quick fyi: there's a quick swap for jump & sprint in the settings

🎵 Everything’s great at your Junes 🎵

You can switch jump button placement in the options.

Did Matty not know you can swap the jump/run buttons ever since BOTW?

I'll be having a great time with this game tonight!

There's a setting to swap the B and X buttons. I did it as soon as I turned it on, same with Breath of the Wild!

Fantastic review!

Wouldn't call it a hidden gem but it is a gem no doubt

Can't wait to get my copy tomorrow (Breath of the Wild took a while to click with me but once it did, i ADORED it)

As someone who built a log ladder for the icy section on Sky Island... Lord, man, attach them end on end. You have a whole forest there. Still, ya made it. XD

I have no idea when I'll start story missions I'm just having a blast running around

Didn’t you go to the option menus and see button mapping?

I'm absolutely in love with the game. I'm so impressed. It has already been kicking elden ring from my throne. Btw you can swap the jump button to B btw ;) i also have backpadels on my joycons and use them for sprinting. So excited! I got a feeling this will be my favorite game of all time. Have fun gaming y'all!

Damn nobody told him you can swap the X and B buttons

I'd like to thank you for bringing more attention to such an obscure and niche game.

You do know you can swap the jump and sprint button in the controls setting, right? You could do that in both BotW and this one.

Greta review Matty!! I just beat the game tonight it was amazing!

Yo I did the same this with the boat and couldn’t get across the late. But if u go all the way to the left by the waterfall there is a path to get across lol

This game is almost overwhelming to jump into with the amount of exploring and things you can do. But It's so much fun 🤘

Same thing happened to me awhile ago, crafted an Airplane ✈️ and it start moving and before I could jump on it it took off without me 😅

Good review!

I really wish these new zelda games had a sound option for the traditional sound effects

I could see them at one point adding in a story line to the newer zelda games and give Link a voice. have some wild backstory as to why he never spoke or couldn't speak, and have the first few lines of his be the most rememberable.

7:20 bruh i was stuck here too for a WHILE with the same amount of hearts, same gear everything. finally got thru it tho 😂

Great video. I agree with most of all you said I think. Especially the part about the problem solving aspect of BotW and now TotK. I dislike puzzle solving games. I don't want or need to do math problems in games! TotK let's me solve problems my way. I dig that so much

You can reverse the Sprint and jump button controls

Can you have more then 1 Bow and shield room?

It looks soo good on the OLED

You can change the button layout

Its time for Nintendo to release a new system. The System is outdated.

You can switch sprint and jump buttons in the settings.

I actually consider BOTW a like 6.5 or 7/10. Called it far cry hyrule or assassins creed hyrule but TOTK is such a massive step up to the point I have barely put it down

Salutations Mr Matty!! 😊

I am still in the starting zone and loving it

Regarding the controls - Not sure if its mentioned here because im not scrolling through the comments but there is an option to swap jump to B

Just a shoutout, I’d say Deathloop was the last systems driven game, so not terribly long ago. Obviously not as ambitious as this game. Hardly any game is

On my way to get it now

That persona 4 shirt is too 🔥🔥🔥

Elder Scrolls jump on console has been mapped to the top button since Morrowind tbf.

You can change the x and b buttons

A review should be shared once you're done with the game or gave up on it. This is running after clicks.

Matty, you do realize you can switch the jump and run button right?

Just so you know you can change the jump button mapping and controls in the options menu. So your nit pick is null invoid

every days gr8 at yoooouuurrr junes !

I had the same issue with the controls, you can fix it back to how it was in BoTW

I mean, for the controls, you can switch the jump in the settings...😅 Nothing about the sprint sadly, still press A from time to time

Can you imagine if nintendo built Tears on the Horizon forbidden west engine on ps5 level hardware

I'm not a huge zelda fan but I do like it and have played about 4 or 5 zelda games and now this one. I'm blown away by this game, it is brilliant. Go ahead give goty because nothing coming out this year is going to touch it

Holy crap. I need that Junes shirt. #SaveNanako

Beautiful game, gives hope to this world

Honestly, the QA for this must’ve been INSANE. Even the dev team have said it’s insanely hard to design dungeons, with all the tools the player has available to them. I’m not sure another Zelda game can carry these mechanics into further games b/c of how open-ended the puzzles will have to be.
