The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is one of the pinnacle titles of a 2023 year that will be remembered as one of the all-time greats for gaming. It managed to stand out, even among the likes of Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2, which is a testament not just to its own quality, but the quality of its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. Each is a genre-defining experience and sits proudly in the upper echelon of Zelda offerings.
