VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Topping Breath of the Wild was always going to be a monumentally tough task, but Fujibayashi, Aonuma, and the legion of artists and technicians at Nintendo came as close as humanely possible with this sequel. In terms of story, structure, and atmosphere, it’s a small step down, but in terms of gameplay systems and depth, it’s a noticeable step up. Regardless of whether it’s superior or inferior to its predecessor, Tears of the Kingdom is a staggering achievement in video game design and programming, and one of the very best games of the generation.”
