Should you buy The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

From GamesRadar+‘sThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was worth the six year wait. I knew it by the second hour – a slow, steady relief washed over me; the realisation that the nail-biting saga of gaming’s most awaited sequel in years was going to have a happy ending for all us players after all. It was a relief soon followed by the simple, giddy thrill of knowing I had a really big, really good game to enjoy in the weeks to follow.

Tears of the Kingdom is a game where you can build a makeshift mechanical cannon-equipped glider, fly it into the back of a three-headed ice dragon, then meld your sword with that dragon’s own exhaled projectiles and effectively beat it with its own breath. Then scoop up the loot, leap into the nearest tower, and fire yourself into a low orbit to choose where you want to swoop down for your next adventure.

So… Yep. It’sdefinitelyworth the wait.

Of course, we’re also getting you clued up on everything you can expect from this year’sBlack Friday gaming PC deals, as well all theBlack Friday Nintendo Switch dealsandBlack Friday PS5 dealsheading our way.
