The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Reviews [Roundup]

Nintendo is gearing up to launch The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch on Friday, May 12, and reviews for the highly-anticipated title started hitting the web earlier today.

Tears of the Kingdom picks up after the events of Breath of the Wild, and, according to some reviewers, surpasses it.

Players catch back up with Link in Hyrule, which this time around is even more expansive than it previously was. Not only does the game introduce players to new sky islands above Hyrule, but it also takes them deep into the pitch-black underground world that exists below the surface.
