Breath of the Wild impressed me, simply as just an… “open world” admirer… Tears of the Kingdom overwhelmed me, in the most heartening way imaginable. TotK took a magnificently crafted world and expanded upon on it while seemingly undermining the Nintendo Switch’s limitations. This game/world, in my opinion, is a console seller. The story is… slightly recycled, but… there were so many moments I wholeheartedly enjoyed. Especially the process of obtaining the Master Sword and the ENTIRE “Destroy Ganonforf” sequence. The Sky Islands were advertised to be more than they actually are, in terms of importance and scale… but the challenge of navigating/reaching certain areas is interesting enough. Throughout my play through, I just… couldn’t get into the Ultrahand/Autobuild abilities, no matter how much I intended to. But, the Ascend ability was an absolute FEATURE. Overall, I didn’t regret a dollar spent or a second given. I believe if you love[d] BotW, you’ll LOVE TotK for the same reasons, with slightly more seasoning.
