Tears of the Kingdom was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. For me, it rectified many of the issues that I had with its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, and improved on it in every way.

I greatly enjoyed going through the various temples, although I do feel that the Fire Temple was lacking in some aspects. The Wind Temple stands out to me as a particular favorite, alongside the Spirit Temple. I felt like these temples gave me very fun and unique experiences that I would love to go through again.

Mechanically, this was some of the most fun I have had with a game due to its unique building mechanic. There are so many different ways to approach the various obstacles that the game throws at you, and I always enjoyed using my own methods to overcome them.

Ultimately, I have few negative things to say about this game. It felt very well-polished, and I greatly enjoyed exploring the new Depths and the Sky areas, as well as seeing how this iteration of Hyrule had changed over time. While part of me is sad that we will not see this version of Hyrule again in the future, I am also very excited to see future Zelda games continue in the same direction as this one.

I would highly recommend this game to any Switch owner.
