Super Mario Bros Wonder is way better than Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros Wonder should’ve won that Award, Zelda is starting to get old, Mario is always better than Zelda and that’s my opinion.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is way better than Super Mario Bros Wonder, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom rightfully won that Award, Mario is starting to get old, Zelda is always better than Mario and that’s my opinion.
DLC can win game of the year now?
Apparently so XD
stay mad that a great sequel won
Spiderman 2? Yeah Thank God that DLC of Spiderman 1 got snubbed lmao.
The legend of Zelda: tears of the kingdom.
What an absolute gem of a game, a true masterpiece and a wonderful sequel to a game that took a different approach to the Zelda formula and paid off big time.
Call it what you want, ‘ a new game’ , dlc etc, but it’s worth every penny and deserves awards for being so epic and captivating.
The only thing i could wish for is Nintendo using this formula for future Zelda titles, but giving us some classic dungeons, but having said that I’m totally not disappointed because of all the shrines, hours upon hours of pure brilliance, and highly polished gameplay. I could go on!!
Just got it for Christmas and while it is enjoyable I wouldn’t say game of the year. I started it up and had to wait what felt like an eternity before I got any real gameplay. It is like N wanted to make a movie as I just passively sat there watching cut scene after cut scene. It was like when a movie does it’s story by voiceover rather than actually showing a movie, this was doing the story by movie rather than letting me play the game. And I still don’t know the story.
And there are plenty of game play methods that are huge fun to do in the game. And the game is fun (so far lol) and I am really enjoying it now that I am playing. Although mildly frustrating that Link looses all his strength, again.
At the end of the game, I can say with 100% certainty… I’ve played better. Ocarina, Majora, & Waker are still my top 3 LoZelda games. Shame as I wanted Tears to be #1 but eh. Maybe next time.
