Tom Marks of IGN praised the addition of the sky islands and caves as "massive" and "brilliant complements to the more traditional surface activities". He also complimented the story as distinguishing itself from typical plots of Zelda games. [45] Edwin Evans-Thirwell of Eurogamer praised the seamlessness of the "loop between underworld and sky", writing that while the "caverns aren't always worth the toil of discovery, none of the sky islands feel dispensable", praising the "irresistible, toylike specificity" of their design. [39] On the differences from Breath of the Wild, Steve Watts of GameSpot praised the "subtle ways" the world had changed, saying that "not everything is exactly the same or where you'd expect it to be, and the map is marked with myriad opportunities for exploration and curiosity".

However, the changes made to its visuals might disappoint some fans since they can only be described as sparse. While the beautiful cel-shaded graphics are a bit clearer than the ones seen in BotW, the game still looks almost the same. In fact, if you haven’t played Breath of the Wild recently, you may not feel the visual changes when playing TotK. It’s important to keep in mind though that the game’s scope is three times bigger than its predecessor and that the game is pushing the Switch capabilities to its limits.

But I personally have tons of armor, rupees and upgrades and all I've done is explore. I haven't actively hunted monsters for materials or gone out of my way to collect something.
