TOTK is the ultimate vision of what Nintendo wanted to achieve with Breath of the Wild.

Everything that made BOTW great is now expanded upon in Tears with the addition of wonderful new game mechanics and two new levels to explore. Nintendo has created the perfect sandbox that fully emphasizes the freedom, experimentation, and exploration that the LOZ franchise was built upon. The game truly felt special to play, and I was completely enamored with just cruising my way around Hyrule with my wooden truck while exploring every nook and cranny the game had hidden away. The only quarrel I have lies within the game's story, which I had hoped would have been told in a more concise way instead of the BOTW memory structure, but this never really affected the experience for me.

Tears of the Kingdom is Nintendo once again at its creative peak, and one of the best games in the franchise by far.
