Love ur vids!
selda as some people say
Congrats mate.
Gotta get it!!!! 🎉 congratulations!
I miss the old wood, u know the one from Texas, I miss seeing you with the game chasers
Honestly, the most amazing part to me of Tears of the Kingdom is simply that it is POSSIBLE. When you have developers across the industry wondering what witchcraft and sorcery you used to make a game of this scale possible on technology equivalent to a 10-year-old tablet, you have done something magical.
So true. Mad when u see developers for PS5 and Xbox Series X in their previews highlighting what the new power does for creativity and freedom for new games and the Nintendo does this. Other developers need to start playing catch up
You could probably play TOTK on a Wii U and still get fair functionality out of it. That’s how good Nintendo is at making consoles and games.
I mean, you are correct, the Switch is a tablet haha funny to think of it that way.
But to be realistic it’s not even close to a 10 year old tablet. those things sucked in 2013
@@javanboyd Turns out you are correct. The Tegra X1 that the Switch uses was released in 2015. So, 8-year old technology. My bad.
I just noticed that at the start of the game you have 30 hearts total, and by the end of this game you have 38. This to me implies Link surpassed his limits in order to beat Ganondorf, which just further adds to my love of this game.
His arsenal also improved, whether his weapons or his friends. Back in BotW he fought all by himself and did not receive a direct help. Also spoiler alert :
His Master Sword has been healed and made even better by Zelda, at the final battle he technically fought alongside her. I also love how the 4 sages all resembled the Champions in BotW
Yeah, by the end my Link felt AND looked like an Elden Ring superboss with max hearts, the fully enhanced Depths set, a Silver Lynel Dusk Claymore and a Lynel armor Hylian shield. I thought Ganondorf was going to cry, but then he pulled the no u with his transformation and health bar.
I also realized that in the start of the game he was already wearing his new champion tunic that is hidden in the throne room to find later
@@killaknight12bro when Ganondorf’s health bar kept going up I was like “oh no.”🫣
I beat the game before I even had 2 rows of hearts. I was going out of my way to find shrines.
What an absolute masterpiece of a review. Completely loved this! Wood channeling his inner NakeyJakey, writing a great script while adding in his unique and wacky stream of conciousness jokes had me rolling laughing while the actual review content made me so excited to play this game. Phenomenal job, Wood.
You a real person, bro? You sound like AI lol
@@RUclipsChannel-iq5to sorry you don't have enough friends to be able to tell the difference, bruh. lol
Haha. So true.
@@LegendaryChris2It always bugs me how people can't tell the difference between AI and human speech. I'm like, for real dude? Do you even go outside?
This review was a “1 hour of wanting to play this game all over again”, it was sooo amazing! I always love woods enthusiasm of this series and this is literally the best review! Now I gotta go play
I swear me too because I have nothing to do man lol I swear I’m thinking of starting a new game now
I don’t know why, but RUclipsrs who make documentary reviews are just the best.
I find the way you reviewed this game to be extremely unique and innovative as you described each of the heights of TOTK with seamless transitions. I can definitely tell that type of exploration where you can traverse between heights is one of the things you appreciate the most about the game.
Amazing review! Best I have seen of any game!
FRR

You missed the booty cheeks timestamp
Can't like it's at 69.
I hit the credits at roughly 300 hours.
It was a breathtakingly spectacular adventure, that somehow managed to take a world that I already fully explored and make it fresh again. The story was amazing for what it provided and I loved it. The new mechanics that carry Link throughout his journey were interesting and felt great to use. The amount of objectives and stuff to do was overwhelmingly great. Minor issues like the sage's abilities being cumbersome or the sky islands not being as fleshed out as I had hoped meant nothing after diving deep into the abyss that is the depths, or taking so much time to build and experiment with my contraptions. Clearing all these caves in search of bubbul gems and neat outfits, grinding out ruppees to deck out my house. The list stretches on for miles. It was amazing. I can't even put the experience into words. Just wow.
Not to mention the ending. This game is more than just a game. It is the first time a game felt like a work of art.
@@jodscience3741my johnson is 10 inch black varietal. I maybe give your wife a new experience bro
This is, by far, the best review of anything I have ever watched on RUclips. Phenomenal job, Wood. 🙏❤️
21:4587
Agree 100%! Loved every minute of it.
👍
Yeahh!!
I feel like the way I'd describe this game is that it's Overwhelming but not like taking a Calculus Test when you haven't studied more like being a kid in a candy and toy store and not being told no.
This is a really great review. Two things I'd like to add:
- revisiting old towns and places wasn't boring but it was really interesting to see how these places changed
- no classic items? no problem! you can actually fuse together some iconic items like the mirror shield
Haven't watched the video yet, but the zonai devices are basically this game's take on classic items, along with the hand abilities and the sage abilities to an extent. I didn't know the hoverstones or construct heads existed, but they opened up so many new possibilities. The stabilizer, the wheels, the cannons, the stakes. They're like modern Zelda items that you "unlock" by unlocking the shrine on the island with a machine that has that item.
This is one of the best RUclips videos I have ever watched. The amount of time and detail that has gone into this video is amazing. I watched it as I plan to finally get round to playing this game and its made me want to play it even more. Amazing video. Bravo
One of your best vids you've ever done, hands down. The Purah nod was inspired! Could feel the excitement, the hype, the respect, and the love. I love this game too. Thank you for this, Wood. Brilliant!
Beat the game this week at 80 hours
It’s such an amazing game. The approach of the final boss and the boss itself is something that will stick with me forever. It’s a cinematic experience
me to at 80 hours lol but like a couple weeks ago
imagine not having 160+ hours already
(i totally dont)
@@ruiiur2694 only i have like 255
checking in with 575 hours
Seeing all the things people are building and doing in tears of the kingdom makes me feel intimidated by it it seems to big and I just can't get up to getting started in it I still haven't started it I had it since launch day
I watched this all the way through, and I was thinking "Yeah that was a great 20 minute video" not realizing this thing was an hour long. Great breakdown and high quality throughout the entire thing. Emmy and Grammy worthy performance, thank you ♥♥
By far the best review i ever watched.
So much work and effort. And care went into this. Great job. Love this channel.
the dedication for a 1 hour review is awesome
I just noticed, in the starting scene, Link only has 30 hearts. He can get up to 40 in the new game. But what was a slap in the face is that he had max hearts and max stamina. But we all know Nintendo denied us that in BotW.
He had a few years between BotW and TotK, I'm sure he didn't stop training or finding ways to get stronger. But yes, I was really surprised when I got my 16th heart and it _wasn't_ on the second row. I love how many little surprises like that they put into the game.
You could get full hearts and stamina with the DLC though 😅😏
@@jamiegillard4354 No you couldn't. If you got full stamina, then even with all of the DLC you would still need 2 more hearts.
@@pixywings my mistake then, I thought it added more shrines?
@@jamiegillard4354 It did. 4 shrines, ergo, one extra heart.
I'm just adding to the chorus here but major props to Wood for everything he put into this video. This looked like an incredible amount of work and it was also super entertaining. When I saw it was over an hour I figured I'd watch it in segments but then forgot to turn it off & watched the whole thing. Ha! Great stuff.
Ok, so this was the first video I have seen by this content creator, and I have to say, my dude if you put this much enthusiasm into all your content, I will be a viewer for life. This was some incredible entertainment! You're hilarious and I actually learned a ton about the game, seeing things in ways I never would have considered before watching your video, so that's a win also! I'm going to have to see about if you stream your play, because you're a riot, and I am glad RUclips actually recommended something good for a change!
The cinematography of this review is amazing. I really appreciate the work to script and then record the transitions between the ruins, forest/creek, and cave you filmed at. I agree with your review and have been looking forward to seeing it.
The one liners in this are great and too many to count!
Now that you’re done with it, Wood. Take a nice long break and relax a bit!
One of the very rare once in a year times that I leave a comment.
This was one really good review and video al together, just like always. Really good job Wood!
From the start till the end I completely agree with the review! There's only one thing that I would add about the zonai devices, how the cooking pots can also be used as a suspension!
Also a beautiful song at the end!
My first time playing this game was magical. The PURE JOY! I don’t think we get that too often as adults but this game really delivered it was unbelievable and so beyond words
You put SO much work into your content and I appreciate it so much. This was a great video as usual fam
This is a review worthy of this game, which is saying a lot. Well done on such a fantastically insightful, funny, and thorough review!
I think... This is the best review of a videogame i'ver see, no words can describe your dedication, effort and care, the same way the gloom emerges to the earth of Hyrule, the same way your love for the game emerges too. Your review is a masterpiece as the game you review it. Sir, TotK is my favorite game ever made, and your review is equal to that. Congrats.
Did you just review a review? That's Meta.
so true
Your videos just bring joy to the world. I love your stuff. The review is SOOO accurate, but you're just a fantastic person and I love what you put out there.
I really enjoyed this review. I was originally concerned about the length but you did an amazing job at striking a balance of informative and entertaining.

@@kanyethetinycardboardcutou8871 thanks for adding it!
the passion that went into making this review... banger video
Damn the part about the fanfare after solving a puzzle actually gave me goosebumps. Great review Wood.
Can i just commend wood for the amount of dedication and creativity in making this video. It doesn't seem like an hour cause he keeps it very interesting and engaging, in short great review lol and not to mention the seamless transitions. You can definitely see the passion and effort he puts through. Kuddos to the editor as well. Great job guys.
That's odd, I just finished my playthrough of TotK and this review is up! I played for 170 hours, finished all shrines and lightroots and I enjoyed every minute of it. Now I will take a break until we see some possible DLC.
This review was worth waiting for - the fact that I’ve now clocked 160 hours in it somehow just made me appreciate it even more. Your diehard enthusiasm for the Zelda franchise in general is infectious, but seeing how happy ToTK has made you as a gamer (as well as the rest of us) just gives me warm fuzzies. This game is so innovative in its shameless pushback against the gaming “rules” most other titles adhere to - I’ve loved every minute of it. Also, you are a truly gifted vocalist 😂
You pulled a good Arlo ;) Really great video with one of your best editing and really high production value. Totally worth the time
You put so much work into these videos! Thank you!!!!
From what I've seen 15 mins in this is the most impressive video Wood has ever done. I'm getting a TOTK style video that is so informative that it's like a made for History Channel. Awesome job keep up the awesome work.
Even starting the video you can tell this is the ultimate review of the ultimate zelda
I knew just by seeing the video length and title 😅
Wait another 7 years and that title will go to the next one
It will be until Arlo's 3 hour review
So glad I have a slow day at work so I can finally watch this. Haven't played TOTK yet but this video only makes me more hyped to play it eventually. Also hope your Enjoying PA still, Im in Austin here and started watching your channel back when you lived here, I moved here from central PA. Enjoy the summer weather
This is my favorite review that I’ve ever seen you do. Great job!!!!
I unfortunatley cant pay any attention to what you are verbaly saying but I am paying attention to the masterful way you present the information from the timing, background, and poping in and out of scenes. They way you present your videos is so masterful in so many different ways.
Congrat for your great review man !
I saw the giant one about breath of the wild with the funny puppet and it was of my favorite and this one about his follow up is on the same level !
I hope that you will have plenty of view for this one cause you deserve it ❤
really enjoyed this, great review and work! 😀
Have watched several reviews, played the game myself, but still was hyped for your review!
Amazing review, Love the passion you have for this game. And cant wait to see what the future provides.
Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Thanks! So glad you made this video
I love how much time you put into this video!!!! Plus, the grinch joke lives in my head rent-free anytime there is an echo 😂
10/10 S tier video Wood I just finished the video. Awesome as always and can't wait for the next mind blowing video that will come out.
The first time I entered the depths , I didn't like it, I felt it would be very big but not interesting, but exploring it later on my own and finding the light roots was an entertaining game of its own, and I liked going there and spending the time discovering it.
Great video Wood! I'm 150 hours in and nowhere near done. I love this game and I love your review of it. Pardon me if I skip the story part as I don't want spoilers but I can absolutely identify with everything you said. Well structured, well edited and well though out review. 😀😊
This might be the funniest video you have ever made. I was waiting to pick up my kid from dance and I spent the time watching this and trying not to laugh out loud so hard, cause I was worried I'd get kicked out and have to wait outside in this Texas heat. Thank you for the great content!
I know I may be but a humble fan, but I’m so insanely proud of you for being able to make this amazing video amongst all the struggles on the way!! The way I clicked SO fast, Im already 10 minutes in but I can’t wait to go through the rest, it’s AMAZING already ❤
Woods bringing the S Tier content while making us question our moral compass when it comes to koroks
Masterfully done review Wood. I absolutely adored this entire video. Thank you!!
The editing and effort that he puts into these videos is so amazing. Keep up the good work!
Please continue uploading your play through again! I’ve enjoyed watching it!
I dunno why so many people have an issue with keeping a good stock of arrows in TotK.
Literally just break all barrels and crates. If you don't wanna use weapon durability to do so you can just lift them up as far as you can with Ultrahand and drop them.
You're welcome.
I realized that even though I spent 1.5 months playing the game and realizing its depth, every time i watch a review, it puts into perspective how seamless the game experience is and how unnoticeable all the elements are sometimes, unless someone does a deep dive to bring them to light. Its simply because of the level of immersion this game brings to the table. I am so immersed, I forget to admire so much; I am just doing my own thing and being lost in my own world. Now that I am in my bed thinking about the game, I realize this is one of those games that I will and want to remember for the rest of my life.
I thought this game blew it out of the park. It was the first game in a very long time where the world is yours and you make of it as you like. Elden Ring was breath taking but this game was something else in its own way.From the art style, to the gameplay to the features, etc, everything. Even though in my heart, it doesnt triumph over OOT, TOTK is the single best Nintendo game of this generation in my humble perspective. I say Nintendo bc I can't pretend like RDR2, Elden Ring, etc. didnt exist haha
Really great video man, very entertaining, funny and informative
This is quite possibly the best review I've ever seen 👏
This video if anything shows your love for zelda as a whole and I'm with you My guy amazing job keep doing you X
Great review Wood. This is the best video you've ever made. Was really fun to watch!
I always love watching your videos man. You really are a entertaining creator 😁😂
wood has done it again, 10/10 youtuber
I played BOTW over and over. I played it for years before getting tired of it. I rushed to beat TOTK, didn't do most of the quests, didn't get most of the outfits, beat it, and haven't played it since and probably won't. BOTW was fun because of the exploration of the world. TOTK just reuse the BOTK map. The sky islands and the depth were very repetitive to me and didn't make me want to explore them. The opportunity for this game to shine was to bring back old school dungeons. TOTK dungeons were just five check points and a boss fight. Old school dungeons are big. You have to find a map, keys, boss keys, a fun new item, fight loads of monsters, a mini-boss, and finally a main boss. Simply giving each dungeon an element is not enough. Zelda's story was cool, but it was all flash backs. Link's active story wasn't very engaging. The game started out strong, but as soon as I got to the main world, the game quickly lost it's charm.
This video is super well done👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What an amazing review! Totally enjoyed it. On a note, you can turn the spirits off in your inventory so turn the ones you don’t like off.
Imagine Link finally gets the COURAGE to tell everyone his name is actually Jeff, what a beautiful story that would be.
This is the best Zelda game hands down. Nintendo you did a fantastic job 🥹
Breath of the Wild DLC. The dungeons were bland, the Depths were meaningless, the story was poorly executed and Ultra-Hand felt wasted.
@@The_Ostrichboohoo😢
This game felt so mid lol very boring ocarina of time was a masterpiece tho
@@Kronk33ocarina was boring imo
The story though was the exact same at each of the 4 boss people. Each time I did it I wish I could have skipped the cut scenes cuz they were the exact same cut scene just with a different character each time. Also beat the game without using any of the new powers, like what was the point of them?? Very weird to even add them
Well done, Wood. This was an incredible video. Thanks for taking the time to do it! 🎉
Such a great review!!! So fun to watch!
The legend.. He did it. Bravo 🎉
Well we all now know what song will be in the Zelda movie
The amount of work and editing went into this video must have been insane! great video
You go above and beyond in these videos. Love your content my friend!
Sidons ability is good for making weapons wet, which is useful, for Zora class weapons as they are more powerful when wet(including fused materials)
Love this review. The story in this Zelda game is truly beautiful. I adored every second of it
yeah i wish the story was good enough to make me play through this SHITHOLE of a game.
@@christianmino4073 what makes it a shithole of a game?
Amazing review! Nice editing skills
You really put your heart into this one Wood. Im glad you took the time for this one because i found this incredibly entertaining. And i got a bonch of laughs.
IDK what has higher quality. The Zelda game or this video.
Wooderson! This is the best video I’ve ever seen on the RUclipss. Amazing work!
This was the best Zelda review ever! the transitions were so good! This was so good that this hour long review felt like ten minutes
ToTK is literally my fave game ever
Must not have played very many games
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord . There's always that one person to try and ruin others fun
@@Indy921 he must not be having much fun if this is his favorite game.
Speaking of the starting island, I went through the entire thing backwards by mistake for a few hours before wondering why I couldn't do certain things and why I wasn't running into any of my abilities untill I got to a point where I REALLY couldn't progress lol so then I realized what I did wrong and spent another couple hours in reverse doing things in order lol
Had me absolutely losing it when that song started 🤣. 100% would listen to this on SoundCloud or whatever you could put it on. The work you put into these videos and edits are top notch
Wood, I’ve been a fan for a long time. That was the greatest RUclips review I’ve ever watched. Very well done, thanks for the laughs.
you went above and beyond with this review!! perfect for tears of the kingdom
2min in. It’s over an hour long so obviously haven’t seen the whole thing yet but will watch the whole thing. Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your review Wood!
This was an amazing review. Great job!
Oh man this is the best review yet. I’m sitting here playing TotK while watching the video and I definitely share your enthusiasm lol. I didn’t even realize the abilities were even in a direction that made sense!! They legit thought of everything dude. I swear, they want you to “cheat” so you feel like you outsmarted the devs but they know dude lol. Did you get your strategy guide in the mail finally too?? It is the best, most legit strategy guide I have ever seen, and I have had so so many
This is probably my favourite game of all time, and while sure it does have its issues, there are many things I would want to be improved in the next Zelda game, I think if we just take a step back and look at the big picture we can really appreciate just how amazing this game really is. Maybe if they add DLC they can go a step further and solve some of the issues that people are saying this game has.
Really? I found it REALLY boring for some reason :(
@@abdulnasirbushra6049 why did you find it boring? How did you find it boring? How many hours in did you get before you said to yourself, this is boring? Because I agree to some extent, but I put 165 hours into the game.
@@Nobddy HOLY CRAP thats a lot of hours. But I literally played some yesterday and had a blast I think because I played my first Pokemon game at the same time it made me more interested in that but I have only Gerudo town to go and I can beat Ganon but there is still loads to do Ive noticed
@@abdulnasirbushra6049 it’s the most hours I’ve ever put into a game that wasn’t Smash Bros lol. I just beat it yesterday. Have fun. Have an open mind. Give it some time. I loved it. It’s one of my favorite games ever, but I think it’s a heavily flawed game. Don’t want to spoil anything so have a nice day.
@@Nobddy Thank you brother
Wait WHAAAATT??? I feel like this game was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY more generous with arrows than botw was. I literally never had to buy arrows in TOTK, not one single time. Almost from the start of the game I had way more than I would ever use and by the end I think I had well over 500. In botw I can't count the occasions I had to go out of my way to go buy some arrows.
Yep. Never bought them once in TOTK. Early to mid game I would occasionally stop by some of the shrines that had arrows and a few other locations. Late game I never had to hunt for them at all because enemies were dropping more than I was using (and I was using a lot of arrows).
Hi Wood! Hope you’ve been well. Been subbed for years but it’s been a while since I’ve been here. Aside from enjoying the content itself, I just wanted to say that your videos and editing were fun before but have become even more entertaining with great timing and writing. Idk if you have a team or if it’s just you, but kudos on the creative editing and quality!
Ok it's happening everyone, this is the biggest thing we have been waiting for since Xenoblade Chronicles 3 review
I agree with the one complaint of the sages - at the very least I wish they were different colors or something because in the middle of battle if I need Riju she is kind of hard to find when I have fatty rock guy and the other bird arrow guy flying around. They all just kind of blend into each other in the middle of battle. My other complaint is that the story could have given more of an order to the dragon tears... unless I did something wrong - if you are like me and want to get the towers first to open the world, and then you do the tears in all weird order - you can basically spoil the story by getting the wrong tear first.
After you do the first geoglyph with Impa, it directs you to the Forgotten Temple. That's where you can find the order and locations
@@Skyewardbound My problem was I didn't do that lol.. The way I played TOTK is the way I played BOTW - where I unlocked the towers first then I go do the bits in the areas. So for me just exploring around first - I didn't see Impa in the cave area till I was on my 4th tear, and by then I basically spoiled it.
One way the game could have prevented this is to have the player collect all the tears, and then Impa or Robbie play them in order. But really its what ever.
This is most amazing ToTK review I've ever watched. Thank you for great work. Love this game!
I love that you were in Kutztown - I hope you really enjoyed the dripstone and flowstone formations. Real caves are just freaking magical.
The Sidon ability is actually useful to make yourself wet (😳) which combos well into the Zora weapon's which doubles attack when wet. I felt super strong with the 64 damage output
Passive aggressive at it's Finest! ^ ^
@@netweed09 OP’s comment was not passive aggressive at all
@@netweed09How?
@@Ty-vj4wg I was referring to Sidon , the OP gets it, lol.
@@netweed09 I'll be honest I thought you meant I was passive aggressive cause you thought I was doing the "um actually you're an idiot for not realizing 🤓"....but if I dissect the term "passive aggressive" it all makes sense. Passive is referring to the passive ability of the weapon and aggressive is obviously referring to high damage output. Therefore: yeah it is passive aggressive at its finest
I LOVE THE GAME
