The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a truly generational game. It improves on all aspects of its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. The narrative balances various tones and progresses the character arcs of its major protagonists, while introducing new and compelling NPCs. Further, the gameplay only enhances one of gaming's greatest sandboxes with a new fantastic line of abilities, activities, dungeons, and boss fights. Everything about Tears of the Kingdom is perfect, and as far as I'm concerned, it's one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life.”

“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gets a much-needed upgrade on the Nintendo Switch 2, transforming a good game into a truly great one. With buttery-smooth performance, enhanced visuals, and clever new quality-of-life features like in-game navigation and build sharing, this is undoubtedly the definitive way to experience Hyrule's latest adventure. If you haven't played it yet or are looking for a true showcase for your new console, the Switch 2 Edition makes Tears of the Kingdom shine.”

“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition elevates an already memorable adventure to new heights. The technical improvements — such as smooth 60 fps gameplay, 4K resolution with HDR, and near-instant loading times — make exploration even more enjoyable, despite some lingering limitations. Additionally, the support for Zelda Notes adds useful and interesting features to the experience, although its implementation through an external app limits its practical potential. In the end, this new version preserves the charm and depth of the original journey, now with refinements that enhance immersion and make the return to Hyrule more captivating than ever.”

“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom remains every bit the masterpiece it proved to be at launch, an audacious evolution built on the foundations of a game that redefined the open-world genre, and one that dares to push even further, delivering an experience so ambitious and visionary that few ever thought it could be realized.”

“The Switch 2 upgrade for Tears of the Kingdom is a massive win: visually impressive, feature-rich, and finally running without compromise.”

“When all's said and done, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a fantastic revamp of perhaps Nintendo's most sublime sequel. What was once a technical marvel on aged hardware now has a chance to truly shine, with visual and performance boosts undoubtedly making it the definitive way to play.Nothing will ever match the feeling of playing it for the first time, of course, and some bonus content would have been welcome, but armed with Zelda Notes and the promise of buttery smooth upgrades, I'd challenge anyone to dip back in without losing hours to its unrivalled wonder.”

“The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds upon Breath of the Wild's robust systems to offer an experience that eclipses the original in practically every way. Not only that, but it works incredibly hard to restore some of the things lapsed players might've missed from the traditional Zelda experience, and it pays off in droves. While the novelty of its design will never be as impactful as Breath of the Wild's debut, Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best Zelda experiences you'll ever have.”
