both the remake and rebirth have so many issues but god when they get good, they’re literally the most fun gaming experiences I’ll ever have. This game knocked it out of the ballpark with how much detail everything has now from the original and while I love reliving a lot of these fun moments from my literal favorite game, the reason why I’d give it an 8 is mostly because they’re games I’d say that compliment the original, not replace it and I feel like the themes of the original game don’t really matter as much since the story of the remake series of games is going for something new, not something I’m totally against but it’s personally why I can’t put them above the original game. But god, I haven’t loved an experience with a game this much in a while and I gotta commend square that. Phenomenal game and probably the only reason to get a PS5.

EDIT NVM IM GIVING IT A 9 IT WAS SO MUCH FUN

I’m not done yet but I’ve gotten a solid 60 something hours to say that I’m not fully impressed with the game. It’s a great game but a good majority of my experience feels like I’m replaying the BOTW which isn’t a total diss, I love BOTW but I love the 3D Zeldas for being really innovative and I’m afraid TOTK isn’t enough for me to put it up with them. It’s a better game than BOTW, I love the options you have with the Zonai devices, the dungeons are pretty cool, and some of the changes in the world are cool but it’s reminiscent of Mario Galaxy 2. It’s a good time but falls pretty flat when you look at what the first game had to bring to the table. I hate to say this but Tears of the Kingdom is Breath of The Wild DLC which makes me sad when for the past 4 years, I was waiting for a sequel on the level of Majora’s Mask.
