This game launched when I was suffering extreme health issues and honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to survive 2023. I had pre-ordered this game so I would have something to look forwards to between hospital visits. Nearly one year later, I’m basically a brand new person with a second chance at life, and Tears of the Kingdom was with me the whole time. This game will forever remind me how lucky we all are to still be here today.

“Link, you are not alone” and then showing him fighting with others like makes me so happy because there are so many moments in BotW where it feels utterly lonely (which isn’t a bad thing but it was the first 3D Zelda without someone like Navi, King of Red Lions, Midna, or Fi). Seeing him fighting a *normal* enemy with Sidon makes me think we will have a lot more moments with other characters.

How this soundtrack bridges the sparse themes of breath of the wild into the classic themes is so absolutely amazing.

[@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868]

BOTW also had a strong emphasis on solitude. Towns were sparse, most people you saw were alone in the wilderness and needed your help, and you NEVER fought with allies. You started on a plateau with only one other person you could even reach, and he was a ghost. The few divine beast segments were incredibly unique because you fought with an ally. Zelda's plotline was about being alone, trapped with a mindless beast. This game seems to be placing an emphasis on community. Hyrule Castle town is being rebuilt. Fort Hateno seems to be at least less of a graveyard than it was before. We fight with allies. It seems like there are allies everywhere, and it seems like reaching Zelda to get the tears will be integral (probably to get new abilities like ultrahand and stuff). You can assist in a battle between armies, this game is gonna literally do age of calamity but open world.

As a father. My kids are 17, 12, and 9 now. My 17 year old games and Breath of The Wild was the game that became her medicine after her mother died a few years before the game came out. Seeing my 11 year old at the time, pick up a controller, turn on the Wii U and just find herself in a open world, and find that curiosity shine through her head is something you never forget. Breath of the Wild helped her figure out something in herself and let the grief of death go. It’s definitely hard to watch her go to college with Tears of The Kingdom on her side making her mom proud as she expands her world at Stanford.

My cousin and I were best friends all the way from birth and bonded hard over playing Zelda together. Over the years we grew distant, but that part of us always stayed true. He passed away several years ago due to health complications, and that was right around the time BoTW was released. I just remember thinking, "Man, he would have LOVED the way Zelda turned out with this one." And now, with ToTK, I couldn't even imagine his reaction and the amount of time we would have shared together with this game. It's amazing how simply a game can bring people so close and create fond memories to look back on. This is for the ones who never got to see this game in their lifetime and for the ones who still have the chance to create memories over such an amazing title. Long live Hyrule!! 💚💜

[@kadley22]

Still shocked that this trailer is nearly a year old now... I remember I finished my first year of college and then a week later, this game came out and I didn't step outside for like a solid week because I was grinding this game with no guide. I also bought myself the OLED switch to go with it and I still don't regret it. I use it almost every single day and it reminds me to never give up and enjoy life because we will always end up going back and remembering the good times and smiling because they happened. I also had a previous comment on here saying that it would be the game of the year. Although it wasn't fully true, it was action-adventure game of the year which was still pretty much a given for the nominees. I am still just in awe that this game exists and what I've been through while playing. The Depths being an addition, going through the sky-islands, experiencing the grand world of Hyrule one more time, seeing freakin' PURAH, learning about the Zonai people, and seeing Ganondorf's new design and also his boss fight was so memorable. I love this game and if I ever have a kid, I would show them that this is how you make a sequel to an already great revamp to a legendary game series. God bless this amazing game for everything it did for me. Can't wait to see where Nintendo goes from here on Zelda games...

This was the most hyped I've been for a game EVER. I vividly remember waiting for this trailer to premiere in the middle of class.
