The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom had a challenging mission to accomplish: to surpass Breath of the Wild. In the end, we can say Nintendo achieved this goal and delivered one of the best games of all time.
To start this review, we have to mention that the game is quite similar to its predecessor. The developers reused the same main map but added an entirely new world in the skies and in the depths. Furthermore, the game improved Link's abilities, which, to be honest, are much better.
The graphics in Tears of the Kingdom remain consistent with what we saw in Breath of the Wild. It's a beautiful game, but it would have benefitted from more powerful hardware to run at a higher resolution and without any frame drops. I frequently encountered issues with low frame rates, but it's impressive to see a game of this caliber on the Nintendo Switch.
The story is quite compelling and is undoubtedly the best in the franchise. It's remarkable how the developers crafted such an emotionally engaging narrative and allowed players to have unique experiences due to the myriad possibilities for progression.
Honestly, towards the end of my journey, I started to feel a bit fatigued and rushed through the game a bit. It happened to me, although I haven't seen others complaining about it.
Another important point to mention is that you shouldn't play Tears of the Kingdom if you haven't played Breath of the Wild. Not just because the stories are connected, but also because, after playing Tears of the Kingdom, you'll realize that Breath of the Wild almost feels like a beta version in comparison. So, you won't be able to fully enjoy the first game after experiencing this superior sequel.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a modern classic. It's incredible how Nintendo developed a game that lived up to all the hype players had. It's a must-play title in the Nintendo Switch library, and we'll still be talking about it for decades to come.

@RedBackLoggd I never saw this as a problem, but if you were bothered by it in BOTW, you're going to get even more frustrated in this second game. The weapons break at least twice as fast now, and that's a fundamental part of the story.
LOL, so much for people hoping they'd address it. I haven't played either, but that's somethign I kept hearing about lol
@RedBackLoggd Yes, I know that this annoyed many people in the first game, but it didn't happen to me. In this second game, it's almost ridiculous how quickly a weapon deteriorates. You face two small enemies, and it already warns you that the weapon is going to break.
Haha, that's funny. Well, as long as it makes sense, I'll brace myself.
