The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

SCORE: 60

I have been a long time fan of the Legend of Zelda video games in my life. There have been spiritual issues in some of the games, but overall I enjoyed them. I did not like The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. In fact this is one of the worst Zelda games in my opinion. We have open world and we get a dead alien creatures arm to do things like fuse objects, ultra hand to move objects, rewind time, and more. The problem is these are clunky - especially ultra hand. In my eight hours of live streaming this game I only had problems using them.

There are shrines in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom that contain different puzzles. When we solve four of them we can take those items to certain place to get another heart or better stamina. The world in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is huge. We go to towers in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom to map out the area. There are multiple areas within The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I had all kinds of issues with figuring out what to do in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I had to keep looking up FAQs to figure out what I was supposed to do. Very little is intuitive or makes sense at least to me. That includes the strange story.

The issues families will have with The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom are violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sexual comments, false gods, and more. The cooking is convoluted and cumbersome in this game. The weapons break way too fast, and horses are a pain to catch. We can build different vehicles but they run out of power pretty quickly. So we wait and hope we are not attacked by some monsters. I found it is better to avoid combat as much as possible with the weapons breaking so fast.

You need to be a finger octopus to do some of the things like change what skill you are using, or locking on and jumping out of the way. The only area of The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom that I found fun was exploring and finding what is on the map. We can find memories like I did with that giant sword painting on a mountain. The one issue is you may get them out of order and get one dealing with a character you have not met yet.

There are different quest to complete and certain armors take a lot of money to be able to purchase. The fire armor is a great example. That is what pretty much killed my interest in this game. The mindless grinding required to get through the quests. This game costs too much too.
