Critic Reviews for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
When all's said and done, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a fantastic revamp of perhaps Nintendo's most sublime sequel. What was once a technical marvel on aged hardware now has a chance to truly shine, with visual and performance boosts undoubtedly making it the definitive way to play.Nothing will ever match the feeling of playing it for the first time, of course, and some bonus content would have been welcome, but armed with Zelda Notes and the promise of buttery smooth upgrades, I'd challenge anyone to dip back in without losing hours to its unrivalled wonder.
The definitive version of one of Nintendo’s most astounding technical and design achievements, that expands and refines the world of Breath Of The Wild in new and unexpected ways.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch 2 is undoubtedly the best way to discover the game or complete your current adventure. Much more beautiful, fluid, and detailed than the original game, Nintendo's new console allows it to shine like never before.

The Switch 2 upgrade for Tears of the Kingdom is a massive win: visually impressive, feature-rich, and finally running without compromise.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds upon Breath of the Wild's robust systems to offer an experience that eclipses the original in practically every way. Not only that, but it works incredibly hard to restore some of the things lapsed players might've missed from the traditional Zelda experience, and it pays off in droves. While the novelty of its design will never be as impactful as Breath of the Wild's debut, Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best Zelda experiences you'll ever have.
In short, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Switch 2 Edition is a very worthwhile upgrade to the original. It improves on the base Switch version in every way, being every bit as engaging now as it was when it first launched in 2023. Owners of the original release can upgrade to the Switch 2 edition for £7.99/$20, and newcomers can pick up the game (that still works on Switch) for £66/$109.
If you didn’t like Zelda as an open world, the Switch 2 remaster of Tears of the Kingdom might not make you a believer, but you still might find yourself losing track of time. This is an incredibly immersive and engrossing experience despite some of the annoying design choices. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but pound per pound, there isn’t any other 3D single-player game packed with as much content as this.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gets a much-needed upgrade on the Nintendo Switch 2, transforming a good game into a truly great one. With buttery-smooth performance, enhanced visuals, and clever new quality-of-life features like in-game navigation and build sharing, this is undoubtedly the definitive way to experience Hyrule's latest adventure. If you haven't played it yet or are looking for a true showcase for your new console, the Switch 2 Edition makes Tears of the Kingdom shine.
