I have to say TOTK is absolutely fantastic. I know a game is good when I suddenly realize I've played 10 hours straight. That literally never happens to me anymore but well, TOTK is special. It's incredible how Nintendo consistently blows the competition out of the water even though their hardware is weak to say the least. Legendary stuff.
Yeah it really an amazing game. I loved BOTW but this so far has blown me away in almost every aspect. Graphics look great to me albeit do I wish the performance was better, however it has not detracted from the experience for me. My game of the year so far, the only game that may take that crown is FF16.
Same vibes!!! I can’t remember the last time 10 hours pass and I’m like WHAT HAPPENED TO TIME. This game is just truly insane. Feels like such an adventure
Matty it's just the beginning. The game is incredible. 20 hours in has barely touched the surface. The amount stuff you still have to discover. Mind-boggling.
Ever since the Dreamcast days ive always wanted a game or imagined a game with real time fog that can be displaced and moved around in real time and its finally happened : D
in the first 10 hours I was kind of like “we’ll this breath of the wild 2 alright”, but after 40 hours, and all the memories collected. This is def the better more fleshed out Zelda experience, period
I hope you checked the options menu by now because you can't totally make B the jump button! It should be default though. Not seeing any severe frame dips at all. Neither did Digital Foundry. You may have a pre-patch copy.
15:10 Matty, there is a menu option that literally inverts these two commands. It was there in BOTW and it still is in TOTK In game > pause button > system (all way to the right, where you save the game) > options > swap jump controls
Controls felt wierd to me as well, glad you brought it up, i had that issue with breath of the wild too, but not to the same degree. I actually get confused on rotating objects more often than id like.
Kinda wish it had layout like most open world games. Feel like a is on the right due to handheld feels better for most used button. But pro controller would prefer Xbox ps position for that
It really is a masterpiece of a game. I haven’t had any noticeable issues with frame rate whatsoever except for about 20 seconds when I was on my way to Zora’s Domain out of 30 hours of gameplay and that’s it. I keep seeing people bring up the frame rate but I personally have not noticed anything. It’s a great once in a generation type of game and I cannot recommend it more. It’s brilliant.
I couldn’t stop playing because I wanted to get the armor sets. I really love how creative you can be, the bosses that you fight, and even the story. I haven’t seen the whole thing because I’m trying to get all the memories and then see them in order. This game’s a lot of fun.
The creativity with this game is off the charts!!! Regarding that pinball shrine one you’re talking about. I thought I wonder if a bomb arrow will work and TA-DA it did! Lol. So many endless possibilities with this game. Makes breath of the wild almost look like a beta.
Love how you traversed the world to play this game 😂 Also because I put so many hours in BOTW the only control issues I had was the ability swap being mapped to L instead of (^) so I kept going into items when trying to change what ability I was using. I always look at Zelda games quite critically because I’m a huge fan, but this game blew my mind and I can’t get enough of it. For a switch game and; some games in general it’s a technological marvel. However the performance could use some love. It’s times like this I wish Nintendo would just make a legit PC emulator linked to Nintendo accounts. I get that Nintendo is huge in Japan and not many people have computers but it’s the cheaper option for them instead of making a new switch - plus they could still technically make sales *if* they made an emulator. That way hardcore Nintendo fans could experience 60 fps with no frame drops. They could continue to make handheld devices in the future but still get permanent revenue from people just buying their games for a “switch launcher”.
the weapon breaking mechanic constantly breaks me, I've tried a solid 8-9 times to get into the game since launch but oh my god, I can't stand having to constantly farm for weapons lol
Zelda games quite literally move the industry forward. There is a reason even other devs shut up and take notes when a new mainline title drops in the franchise and then you see so many games take the dna of the latest Zelda and run with it. For example one of the heads of rockstar once stated that if any dev of any modern 3d game tells you they weren’t inspired by ocarina of time they are lying to you. The titles that the Zelda team puts out are THAT important .
@@Stefantius I know he didn’t, and I was really trying to not be mean….but. There’s a level of respect you have to have even if you don’t personally enjoy the games , know what I mean. You can not enjoy ANYTHING you like , but you will not run your mouth against giants that have you all the things you claim to love and then expect no pushback. It’s fine that he missed out on Zelda for most of his life , the point he’s missing though is that the level he is at we aren’t just looking for his personal opinion, he needs to look at games through the effectual lense . He doesn’t want to admit that he was one of those assholes that looked down on Nintendo as “baby games” back in the day and now doesn’t want to admit he was wrong for essentially his entire life . Yes Matty you were wrong when you couldn’t get into Zelda back in the day….. then you’re dumb ass decided to side with xbox…. Bad decision bro
@@Stefantius dude was out here saying “I didn’t really like ocarina of time I’m more of a fallout 3 guy” without even realizing that ocarina ALLOWED the modern fallouts to fucking exist……the devs of fallout would slap him for disrespecting ocarina
For someone who never finished BOTW, is this worth getting? I only played BOTW for 20 hours and then stopped. Shrines and combat really sucked in my opinion, but exploring was fun. Does this game fix those issues?
If you didn't like BOTW I don't think you'll like this. The shrines aren't exactly hard but you need to get a bit creative. As for combat, you can do things like fuse a sword with a rock and it lasts a bit longer but it's still gonna break and the combat is similar to BOTW but it lets you be more creative such as using an arrow and putting a topaz on it which for some reason gives it lightning powers but lol. You can also use abilities to pick up an explosive from a bit away and then drop it on enemies, etc. Personally I didn't see them as issues in BOTW, I just got used to them but that's just me lol.
I'm not a huge zelda fan but I do like it and have played about 4 or 5 zelda games and now this one. I'm blown away by this game, it is brilliant. Go ahead give goty because nothing coming out this year is going to touch it
Bro, they removed EVERYTHING from the quarry in Akkala, that was my fav looting spot. Also, where are the Durians? They nerf’d the HOLY F out of hearty ingredients. I love it, they upped the challenge and it feels great
It reminds me of Prey. Chiefly, the moment I realized how much the abilities empowered me feels a lot like realizing how much the glue gun opened up exploration and changed the way I looked at every area in Prey.
I'm absolutely in love with the game. I'm so impressed. It has already been kicking elden ring from my throne. Btw you can swap the jump button to B btw ;) i also have backpadels on my joycons and use them for sprinting. So excited! I got a feeling this will be my favorite game of all time. Have fun gaming y'all!
@@SelfieCastbro get tf out of here. Your literally always commenting on Matty videos that's Nintendo related. Jesus Christ 🤦🏿♂️ let me guess your a PlayStation or Xbox or PC fan that's hates on every other console but yours huh?
Hey man! I just stumbled upon your video and I have to say, I have had a VERY similar exp with both BOTW and TOTK. I liked Breath of the Wild but I absolutely think im gonna put in way more than 60 hours in tears of the kingdom as it is so much fun to play
I could see them at one point adding in a story line to the newer zelda games and give Link a voice. have some wild backstory as to why he never spoke or couldn't speak, and have the first few lines of his be the most rememberable.
They want Link to be ambiguous. I think they gave him longer hair and earrings because the franchise has an equal male to female ratio. It's a smart move on Nintendo's part.
@@mbii7667 yeah I'll agree on that. That is not the reason why. Also being ambiguous is not what I was getting at with my comment at all. His design in BoTW and ToTK are that of a character who's been asleep for years and years plus in the cutscenes during BoTW he has long hair. It's a design choice. It's changed everytime a new Zelda game is out. Speaking of Zelda games.. still waiting for the fabled Shieka Zelda game that was rumored all those years ago lol. Still wish they'd have don't something with that. It would of been awesome.
As someone who built a log ladder for the icy section on Sky Island... Lord, man, attach them end on end. You have a whole forest there. Still, ya made it. XD
Speaking on the creativity I saw a guy who was having trouble getting the flying things to launch so he put it on a cart and put fans on it and made it a flying car type thing
Here’s my take: It’s a great game but it doesn’t have the mind altering impact like BotW. Is it more than DLC for $70? Yeah but it also doesn’t feel like BotW 2… more like 1.5. Which is fine since BotW was such an awesome game to begin with.
I’m back! That’s interesting that you never had that click with Zelda because, man wind wake is definitely one of my favourite games and I wish they brought it to switch. With botw, it really made me miss the classic Zelda’s with temples. But this new game is fantastic! Still haven’t done a temple.. it’s a huge game!
Miyazaki said one of his biggest inspirations to elden ring was BOTW so my theory is it will have an impact on the industry for those who actually care about the medium I just can’t see the cookie cutter Ubisoft template disappearing
I have the same issue with the controls. Coming from Xbox (long time Zelda fan) the controls and buttons just don’t feel intuitive. Love the game I just cannot get used to the button mapping…
I actually consider BOTW a like 6.5 or 7/10. Called it far cry hyrule or assassins creed hyrule but TOTK is such a massive step up to the point I have barely put it down
Yo I did the same this with the boat and couldn’t get across the late. But if u go all the way to the left by the waterfall there is a path to get across lol
It might be time for nintendo to marry its creativity WITH a powerful system. God help us all when they figure out that a system that can handle PS5 games AND Nintendo games will crush competition....plus let them achieve all the creativity they want.
I literally never think about the graphics when playing a zelda game. They nail the art style and atmosphere in such a way that I get way more sucked in than I do with more "technical" games.
@AintThatAPotOfEffLuck but if they move past not caring about graphics, they could get all the games Playstation and Xbox have, and keep making whatever games they want to
@@kylemundy8871 not necessarily. Again the GameCube and n64 were more powerful than what PlayStation was offering but they still were skipped over in favor of PlayStation.
i really do hope the next game is on nintendo's supposed upcoming current gen console, and I hope it ditches that lazy excuse of an art style in the cel shading, which just poorly masks the bad graphics, I also hope the combat is more parry based and challenging, maybe even a smaller map to focus on fidelity, performance, and better game mechanics instead of sheer scale, hopefully even a better story? what I'm looking for is a reinvention of Zelda, while also being somewhat a return to form
Great video. I agree with most of all you said I think. Especially the part about the problem solving aspect of BotW and now TotK. I dislike puzzle solving games. I don't want or need to do math problems in games! TotK let's me solve problems my way. I dig that so much
Honestly, the QA for this must’ve been INSANE. Even the dev team have said it’s insanely hard to design dungeons, with all the tools the player has available to them. I’m not sure another Zelda game can carry these mechanics into further games b/c of how open-ended the puzzles will have to be.
It's fascinating how when devs have to push the limits of hardware, we as consumers see the most innovation and most creativity a studio has to offer, as much as i agree with matty that the hardware is definitely showing its age, it makes me wonder if this game would exist in the capacity it does now, if it was on stronger hardware
I had the same problem with the control set up too ever since Breath of the Wild. I changed it to Super Mario World's style and all is right with the world again.
Just a shoutout, I’d say Deathloop was the last systems driven game, so not terribly long ago. Obviously not as ambitious as this game. Hardly any game is
Honestly though how do you possibly miss a game dropping to pretty much only 10/10s? That sort of thing doesn’t happen much in the age of modern gaming.
I have to say TOTK is absolutely fantastic. I know a game is good when I suddenly realize I've played 10 hours straight. That literally never happens to me anymore but well, TOTK is special.
It's incredible how Nintendo consistently blows the competition out of the water even though their hardware is weak to say the least. Legendary stuff.
Nintendo is the only company that still cares about good gameplay and not only focuses on graphics. That's why.
@@RabbitConfirmed Sony enters the chat. Nintendo though has better exclusives

Yeah, running 60fps 4K on rtx 3090 .
Just reaching the Wind Temple blew my mind
Omg i am doing that part rn and it is SO FREAKING FUN!!!
The road there took so long lmao
Spoilers bro
Ever since the Dreamcast days ive always wanted a game or imagined a game with real time fog that can be displaced and moved around in real time and its finally happened : D
😂 that's very specific... But they did it! You got your fog! This game is amazing!
Ok yeah I noticed that the fog was more realistic than most I’ve seen before. Really cool.
The OG Luigi’s mansion had that I think
in the first 10 hours I was kind of like “we’ll this breath of the wild 2 alright”, but after 40 hours, and all the memories collected. This is def the better more fleshed out Zelda experience, period
More fleshed out and more densely packed. Better atmosphere more variation overall
Nintendo needs to setup build sharing within the game. That'd be awesome
Oh my God like Animal Crossing, that would be so cool to be able to try what other gamer has crafted, what a cool idea
Coop next game play as link and Zelda to kill demise or something. Allow building in the world like a survival game that doesn't despawn
Lmao at the intro "a little Zelda game not getting a lot of coverage online" 😂
Imagine how great the speed runs are gonna be and how creative the speed runners will have to get.
Already...only 94 minutes but a lot harder than last game. Nintendo patched most glitches/tricks.
I hope you checked the options menu by now because you can't totally make B the jump button!
It should be default though.
Not seeing any severe frame dips at all. Neither did Digital Foundry. You may have a pre-patch copy.
I also remapped it with the Controls Settings
He literally said he changed his location to get an early copy lol
15:10 Matty, there is a menu option that literally inverts these two commands. It was there in BOTW and it still is in TOTK
In game > pause button > system (all way to the right, where you save the game) > options > swap jump controls

You know you can change the control scheme where you use the B button to jump and the X button to sprint right? You can do it in BotW too.
@@zaofactor nope 😂 thanks

The Zelda team are genius to make a game that adds so much to its sequel and make it feel fresh!! Undoubtedly will be Game of the Year

about the jump and sprint you can swap them its what i did and what make more sense to me . but you can swap them in the option at least
Bro, they removed EVERYTHING from the quarry in Akkala, that was my fav looting spot. Also, where are the Durians? They nerf’d the HOLY F out of hearty ingredients. I love it, they upped the challenge and it feels great
Same thing happened to me awhile ago, crafted an Airplane ✈️ and it start moving and before I could jump on it it took off without me 😅

1:27 well the original Link's Awakening was not on GBC, the DX version was
You can switch jump button placement in the options.
I'm still unpacking from a move across the country so I'm waiting until I can give it my full attention. Great review.

There's a setting to swap the B and X buttons. I did it as soon as I turned it on, same with Breath of the Wild!
Damn nobody told him you can swap the X and B buttons
Even that’s dumb
First thing I did.. But the default is dumb.
Here the tip for the controls. You can swap the jump mapping from x to b. In the settings.
You can reverse the Sprint and jump button controls
You can switch sprint and jump buttons in the settings.
Yea I did that after the intro cutscene, solid decision for sure. Jumping with B feels much more natural

This game is almost overwhelming to jump into with the amount of exploring and things you can do. But It's so much fun 🤘
i really do hope the next game is on nintendo's supposed upcoming current gen console, and I hope it ditches that lazy excuse of an art style in the cel shading, which just poorly masks the bad graphics, I also hope the combat is more parry based and challenging, maybe even a smaller map to focus on fidelity, performance, and better game mechanics instead of sheer scale, hopefully even a better story? what I'm looking for is a reinvention of Zelda, while also being somewhat a return to form
Love the persona 4 shirt homie
You can change the button layout
Great video. I agree with most of all you said I think. Especially the part about the problem solving aspect of BotW and now TotK. I dislike puzzle solving games. I don't want or need to do math problems in games! TotK let's me solve problems my way. I dig that so much
Honestly, the QA for this must’ve been INSANE. Even the dev team have said it’s insanely hard to design dungeons, with all the tools the player has available to them. I’m not sure another Zelda game can carry these mechanics into further games b/c of how open-ended the puzzles will have to be.
i got the master sword and completed the entire map before doing any story quests lol, they gave me the paraglider and i was like goodbye im off
Same 🤣
How many hours have you put in?
@@guutenks2498 I couldn't say,the emulator I'm playing on doesn't count but I'd say at least 50
It's fascinating how when devs have to push the limits of hardware, we as consumers see the most innovation and most creativity a studio has to offer, as much as i agree with matty that the hardware is definitely showing its age, it makes me wonder if this game would exist in the capacity it does now, if it was on stronger hardware
Apparently it runs in 8K60fps on emulator (granted you have a strong enough PC)
Just so you know you can change the jump button mapping and controls in the options menu. So your nit pick is null invoid
There’s an option in settings where you can change jump to B and run to X, it felt better to me
Yea but I still want jump and select/pickup to be the same button. The controls button mapping is just not intuitive
I mean, for the controls, you can switch the jump in the settings...😅 Nothing about the sprint sadly, still press A from time to time
Matty, you do realize you can switch the jump and run button right?
I had the same problem with the control set up too ever since Breath of the Wild. I changed it to Super Mario World's style and all is right with the world again.
Didn’t you go to the option menus and see button mapping?
You can change the x and b buttons
How does this run on a Switch Lite? Anyone know?
Just fine🎉
@@ChainSaw-r4g but just as importantly, how does it *look* on a switch lite?
I had the same issue with the controls, you can fix it back to how it was in BoTW
I'd like to thank you for bringing more attention to such an obscure and niche game.
I’m thinking about it at work and fusing logs together on the side of the road in my mind
There’s an option in the settings to swap jump and spring so they make sense. I shudder for anyone who didn’t find that early on.
Just a shoutout, I’d say Deathloop was the last systems driven game, so not terribly long ago. Obviously not as ambitious as this game. Hardly any game is
This was cool! Do you own any arcade 1ups?
"Everything's great at your Junes"
Its time for Nintendo to release a new system. The System is outdated.
That persona 4 shirt is too 🔥🔥🔥
Ev rey day at your Joo Nezz
Thanks for shining light on this game. I honestly didn’t even know about it until your video. Definitely will think about checking it out.
Where have you been? Coma
Honestly though how do you possibly miss a game dropping to pretty much only 10/10s? That sort of thing doesn’t happen much in the age of modern gaming.
I keep pressing R to run and it throws my weapon. I press B to jump and he runs.
I have no idea when I'll start story missions I'm just having a blast running around
I hope they will make a new type of Zelda game next time
@Ultra Legendary Master a stronger merge between classic Zelda and the open-world systems-driven formula should be their focus
Pls no open world, just make a railroaded but consistent adventure
The combat needs to be overhauled.
MAN I FREAKIN LOVE THIS GAME!!! It frustrates me so much that I can't play it 60 frames stable, but I'm sure emulation will catch up pretty quick.
Salutations Mr Matty!! 😊
Shout out to the zelda lofi music in the background that shit got me thru so much homework
Game looks like it came out the same year as Morrowind.
I really wish these new zelda games had a sound option for the traditional sound effects
