I finished this game a couple of weeks ago and have been struggling to find the right words to say about it.

I enjoyed my time with Breath of the Wild, but wasn’t blown away, so going into Tears of the Kingdom I didn’t have expectations of any kind. Well, TotK absolutely blew me away!

This game has become one of my all time favourites, whether it’s because of the exploration being deeper and wider than before, the combat allowing for so many unique varieties of attack and defence, the level of creativity just using the abilities or even the secrets to find within Hyrule, Tears of the Kingdom was an amazing experience and not one I’ll forget any time soon.

The level of freedom I felt in this game is unmatched so far, the shrines giving you the tools to use and letting you figure out how to get through the puzzles with them was always rewarding. The different contraptions you can make and build, whether it’s a simple hoverbike or machines bordering on combat mechs, I never felt like I was running out of ideas to get through the game.

As for the visuals and storytelling, while the story wasn’t the strongest part of the game, both of these factors still felt great in the game. Especially the ending, which was just amazing to play and amazes me as to how Nintendo managed to make it work on a Switch!

What an amazing game, truly it is an experience I will treasure forever!
