Review: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom lets your imagination run wild

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom reinterprets Breath of the Wild for the better. Instead of removing all the aches and pains of that game, it completes the circle by adding gameplay-based solutions to annoyances and encourages you to let your imagination run free. Easily one of the very best games on Nintendo Switch.

  • The Ultrahand system is joyous and genuinely game-changing
  • The free-form invitation to be creative is intoxicating
  • Excellent visuals and soundtrack
  • Bountiful side content
  • Some frustrating controls
  • The Sky feels underbaked
