The Best Video Game of 2023 So Far: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch)
The Best Video Game of 2023 So Far: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Switch)
We reveal the 20 highest-scoring new games released for all platforms during the first half of 2023.
Any new Zelda is bound to be high on lists like these, but TOTK is as close as a lock-in for GOTY as you can get.
It’s fun going back to threads from about a month before release, when the overall response was very mehh.
Game is so good that it’s almost overwhelming lol
I rolled credits but I feel like I have soooo much left I want to get to. To be honest I do miss the older zelda formula, but as a chill open world experience botw/totk are both really incredible.
It's overwhelming to dive into and out of in short bursts of free time, which is how I generally get to play games these days. If it's anything like botw I was playing that game for over a year. I came to accept I'd never 100% it but I did end up going for all shrines
I literally got back to BOTW after playing TOTK because I felt I need MORE of that. Both are so incredibly good!
I miss it too, but they did a great job of being classic Zelda into an open world. The only way they can truly top TotK is by heavy story and more dungeons, but I'm just glad to have Gleeoks and other classic enemies, dungeon monsters, and side stories.
Maybe classic Zelda spinoffs will be linear stories like Twilight Princess.

I feel I'm missing it out having it on the shelf...
I know I'm in the minority here but I could just not get into this game at all. I put about 5-10 hours into it total and I gave up.
