Building upon Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom introduces an even more expansive Hyrule filled with new mechanics, sky islands, and underground depths. The game revolutionizes traversal with its "Ultrahand" ability, allowing players to create vehicles, structures, and weapons from found materials.
The story deepens the lore of Hyrule, exploring new threats and mysteries involving Zelda and the kingdom’s ancient past. Combat remains fluid, with new abilities that enhance strategic gameplay. The addition of skyborne exploration provides an unparalleled sense of verticality, making discovery more rewarding.
Despite its many strengths, Tears of the Kingdom still retains some of the limitations of its predecessor, including weapon durability. However, its innovation in open-world mechanics, deep exploration, and endless possibilities for creativity make it a landmark title. For those who loved Breath of the Wild, this is a dream come true.
