It felt strange that coming back into the tears of the state, one of my favorite gaming experiences SectSo soon I wrapped it for the first time. Time has lashed out quickly quickly, and I was not sure whether to promote a performance and an additional mobile app Nintendo Switch 2 version would be sufficient to get my hook to the same extent as it was returned by its predecessor in 2023.
However, if I did not have at least one Gander in this new package, I could not call myself a true Zelda fan. I launched a new sev file (because it is now an alternative), blinking an eye, and suddenly felt that five hours had passed.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 version can be one of the difficult title to find its tongue around, but it was easy to fall back in this sublime sequel. People who dive into the thrill for the first time can relax that they are getting the game in their most powerful form; Those who have already put hundreds of hours in the latest of the link, they can feel safe in this knowledge that it is worth promoting a performance and mobile extra returns well, even if a little magic is lost in the way.
I am sure you already have a good understanding of the story and features of Totk, so I will not waste here at any time (and I recommend reading my switch 1 review if you have never played the game). Stay relaxed, the performance has not been removed from the scope of the game. This hyrule is still massive and is full for the brim with the search-wizry NPC, the attention-snatching point of interest, and, yes, yes, ya-haha-The Korox.
The difference is that it all seems a bit more managed now. I will only reach the splendid facelift of the game in a moment, but I would like to brief the Zelda notes first.
This alternative mobile ad-on has level its proper part of criticism (even we are divided on nintendo life writers). Audio guidance voice is hasty from pain and as they come, are repetitive – we can all agree – while the very principle of an external guide that determines your every step is not great for immersion levels. Breath of the Wild and It’s strict world, I too, will hesitate more about the inclusion of Zelda notes. But returning to my old saving file on TOTK, and *Note Note * 66% of the game I was still not complete after wrapping the story, it felt like a welcome bonus.
One of the greatest strength of Totk This surprise means-you will not spend too much time on a purpose before getting distracted by 12 others-but especially in late sports, it can start feeling a little. Too muchFor example, I consider Edison Side Quests, where you have to assist a nervous Little Highlian on your sign-balance missions. I want to complete more of them, and Zelda notes can also help me do so.
In recent times, I have defeated a pilgrimage for a few minutes to tick a pilgrimage, or listen to the unworthy bits of ‘Vidya’-to listen to a pilgrimage, or to listen to the memories of the voice of Zelda, Rouru, and Master Kohga, but completely harmful. You Be able to do Still play without the app, and let the totak throw every distraction, which can be done in your way (and you need perfectly), but will be taken as an additional that will be used mainly by those who have already seen the adventure work to the end, its inclusion makes the hyrule less.
But let’s not go down in bonus. Totk – NS2 ED. The biggest strength of is still base game, and good sky, this game is a complete pleasure to play with this increased performance.
On switch 1, it was a miracle. This is a sport where you can add any two objects to create something new, quickly reach the high ground to swim through the mountains, and somehow the contest approaches to compete in any way fantasy – Mechs, meat gradients, you name it. The switch can do all this immediately without bursting in flames (like I say, a miracle!), But it was not without its technical hiccups. A walk through the Koroke forest will still be a frame rate tank, when trying to maneuver a large construction, etc., things will become crisp, etc.
Hopefully, it is all a matter of past at this time. From my experience, the game runs on a butter smooth 60fps all the time. And I mean All Time. I have sprinkled so much without a stutter through the Koroke forest, dive from Sky Island to a depth without a slowdown, and traveled fast with the lowest load screen. No matter what I threw it, Switch 2 kept things stable.
And I cannot give enough emphasis on how beautiful everything looks when running without restraint. Be it in the air flowing through the hair of the link or the glowing energy of a coffeering zonai construction, playing with such a lubrication of such butter means that you will not want to go back to the original in a hurry. Trust me, I tried.
Resolution Boost has also done amazing work for the world. The textures are much more defined, even from far away, and better draw distance makes a distance easier than before to exclude a ground level space from the island.
It is true that 4K goodness (in the docted mode) sheds light on a handful of visual defects that I do not remember that I do not remember to hold my eye in the original – have those mountains always seen … granious? – But without a complete overhaul of art, it was bound to happen. And let’s be clear, I’m nightping Small Blemishes here. It looks overall surprising.
If there is one thing to keep in mind before diving back into tears, it is not likely to be quite magical because it was the first time. The game is still packed with beauty, but, outside the Zelda notes, there is nothing New Here. Kirbi and forgotten land switch will pack bonus in challenges, Mario Party Jambore is getting new rules, but Totak has been abandoned as it is.
Certainly, £ 7.99 / $ 10.99 Action has a small price to pay visual and performance upgrade (even nintendo switch is small for people with online + expansion pack membership, who receives it for ‘free’), but do not expect to feel magic and feel magic. Extremely In the same way you can be with an additional master mode or side quest.
conclusion
When everyone said and did, Zelda: Tiers of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 version is probably a spectacular improvement of Nintendo’s most sublime sequel. Once aged was a technical miracle on hardware, now there is a really chance to shine, with visual and performance, it undoubtedly makes it a certain way to play.
Nothing will never match the spirit of playing it for the first time, of course, and some bonus materials would have been welcomed, but armed with Zelda notes and promises of butter smooth upgradation, I challenge anyone to lose without defeat. hours For its unmatched surprise.
