I really enjoyed this game, more than Breath of the Wild honestly, which was a game I started to tire of the concept midway through. I finally have a game I can be annoying about and say "it really starts getting good 20 hours in!" But honestly that's how I felt with Tears of the Kingdom. After completing all the dungeons and making my stamina wheel a bit more advanced, I really felt like I could travel anywhere, in that way the game was originally trying with Breath of the Wild. The sky and depth additions absolutely helped with that, but the addition of caves, wells, and general better use of empty spaces, made Hyrule feel so much more full of life. The game still has its many flaws, and even took away my beloved Divine Beasts... but there was a significant amount fixed that I felt I could sit back and actually have fun with the game, which really is the main goal with gaming, right?

Similar to Disco Elysium, I feel so many people have said everything about this game, negative and positive, at this point, that I feel I'm not adding too much by putting my own two cents. But overall, I had a very nice time with Tears of the Kingdom, and in a way could even see myself returning to it at some point even after finishing, which I never felt with Breath of the Wild. I may be more harsh on Breath of the Wild than I intend to because the last time I finished it was on the Wii U my senior year of high school, haha! But with the improved story-telling, hand abilities, and combat move-sets, I can see myself returning to TOTK over BOTW any day of the week.
