The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has the unenviable task of following what many consider to be one of the greatest games in recent memory. When it launched in 2017, Breath of the Wild revolutionized the longstanding franchise formula in innumerable ways, giving players the biggest world the series has ever featured and mechanics that allowed them to experiment with the gameโs physics. After spending more than an hour playing some early moments of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the answer to how this game plans on following such a tough act is a bit clearer.
Please enjoy Game Informerโs Tears of the Kingdom hands-on preview! B-roll provided by Nintendo.

The "new way to reach the sky islands" is the Tower in the Bokoblin Camp, which launched you into the air like a cannon ball.
Something about "I can't wait to kill Link in so many spectacular ways" really sent me ๐๐๐๐ญ
that framerate ain't lookin great.. And going back to 30fps is going to hurt. Meh..
They did the meat arrow. Looks like it's just for distractions.
I hope the framerate isn't as bad as this preview is making it look. BotW wasn't the best performing game but these previews have many moments that look rougher than when I tried to play BotW on a shitty walmart laptop.
It looks like you need to install a cooler on your switch.
our inventory in botw should be transferable to totk, that would be a nice feature
Love the โGameinformerโ title card at the beginning. It was nice and classy
4:06 He's using the 3 handed ability
Still seems underwhelming. I imagine having to shift through menus and constantly craft things to get around will get old fast
The stuttering on screen is rough
Iโm looking forward to the mini games, and towns, and npcs, and plot . These mechanics are insane though.
I'm getting the pregame jitters!! So excited! 16 more days!!!
Is the old ability on ability also still on there?
This is the best preview of Tears of The Kingdom. I am so hyped for this game.
I wonder how genshin impact will rip this off in to another pay to win rip off ๐
so no more sheika tablet it seems, everything will be with the new abilities and items you get from monsters, that will make it more interesting imo
I feel sad that its exactly the same world, the exploration part was the most exciting part for me, especially the mountains and more exotic areas, sure they might have changed some things here and there but its basically 95% same. Having played the original a lot I remember the whole map already so what purpose will the towers really serve now? I can't really think of any other game reusing so much content as this one does.
Underwhelming, tbh. Frame dipping, durability is back, no word on the lack of depth, no dungeons… Will wait for reviews, preferably for someone who was critical of BotW when it came out. Might as well wait for the Joseph Anderson video at this point.
multiplayer battle royale mode when ? !

'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' is arguably GOTY in 2023. It is the best AAA open world 3D action ARPG game that has been verified. In particular, for example, gliders such as 'Fighter aircraft' and 'Mobile Suit Gundam Wing' from the play video are very cool. The fighter can fire missiles. Also, it is possible to play an RPG where you block or avoid the bow of a monster with a shield while firing a missile at the monster. You can enjoy SF and RPG at the same time with this single motion. As you can see, 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' is the best game of 2023.๐๐ฏ
Why doesn't the video match the audio
I BOUGHT A NINTENDO SWITCH OLED BUNDLE 3 WEEKS AGO. IT CAME WITH BOTW AND DK:TROPICAL FREEZE. I AM PLAYING THROUGH BOTW FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I AM ONLY LIKE 25% OF THE WAY DONE LOL. I DID PRE-ORDER TOTK THOUGH! I HOPE I CAN BEAT IT IN 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE 2ND ONE COMES OUT! IM EXCITED FOR THE 2ND ONE EVEN THOUGH I HAVENT BEATEN THE FIRST LOL.
thank you for the preview as i only trust previews from GI as they are non spoiler-ish. Looking forward to more TOTK content from GI
