    Best game since ocarina of time

    Reviewed by Ako - May 4, 2023

    After years of waiting the game has finally released. And the wait was worth I'd this revolutionary new game streamlines the building mechanics for new and old player alike. The durability system has been "fixed" whith the new fuse mechanic. And the dungeons are perfect for the people who miss the old zelda formula. The amazing in depth story doesn't disappoint! Overall the best game of 2023!

    Excellent piece of art

    Reviewed by L andrews - May 28, 2023

    Let's begin by addressing the elephant in the room. This game pushes the Switch to the limit. There are times you'll get frame rate drops in certain zones similar to breath of the wild (think location of master sword previously) .. and ultra hand ability also causes some frame rate issues. This is a thing that will probably bug you at times. However I pushed along and kept playing. Let's move onto the rest. Overall this game is a sequel done right. A near impossible task. If you think the game is simply a reused map, you're completely wrong. They managed to revamp the original map.. then multiplied its size by.. let's say about 2.5 times. If you think they only added things to the sky, there is ALOT more than that you'll see. I've only completed one "Temple" so I don't know how the others will turn out. Apparently there is one more traditional one that old Zelda fans like myself will appreciate. I would say so far they gave a temple experience better than divine beasts, and still under the old school traditional layout of a temple. Overall though well done and the boss fight was fun. Was it easy? Mostly yeah, but I had fun. Most boss fights in Zelda games are relatively easy, it's the fun factor I look for and this particular one did it for me. Shrines return, they are not a negative experience for me, happy with them. Some are pretty dang cool and teach you some fun building ideas you can use in the world. Some enemies return. I spoiled for myself one I haven't seen yet. This has been very welcome. Happy to see them. Musical score is so well done. Yes a lot of reused, but also a lot of things that intertwine classic Zelda with that orchestra sound. I've been enjoying it. They really know how to make you feel with the music.. example, there is a random enemy you're going to encounter that visually is scary.. but the music adds to the layer of terror as you try to run without being grabbed and tossed and ... You'll see Voice acting is what you'd expect. I forgive Nintendo on this front. I honestly am shocked they even tried in BOTW, I'm happy to let them keep trying in totk. . My cousin does Japanese voices with English sub to solve her issue with it. It doesn't bug me. The item combinations and uses with weapons... Feels like most things have a use and worth collecting. You can even attach a piece of meat to an arrow and slap an enemy in the face with a meat arrow. I'm all for this level of freedom. So good. There's so much more to this game than BOTW. If you loved BOTW you'll love this. If you hated BOTW, it's likely going to be a pass for you. But coming from a Zelda fan that grew up on Ocarina of Time, it's a great game that the child in me is enjoying thoroughly and it's nice to have games have enough magic to grip my attention and want to share experiences with my wife as she plays Valheim. Lol.

    Worth the wait

    Reviewed by Casper - May 12, 2023

    True Zelda fans have been waiting for this for what seems like 5 years now and it was definitely worth the wait new abilities are awesome the fuse ability on weapons is very cool as for the price tag its only $10 more than the first breathe of the wild so it was worth the extra money and seriously it's only $93 with tax. Will be playing this for the rest of the year for sure. 🤗
