How long does it take to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

Tears of the Kingdom takes about 59 hours for the main story and roughly 224 to complete — longer than its predecessor on both counts. It reuses the same overworld but adds a sky layer and a full underground map, roughly tripling the traversable space. The completionist figure is among the highest of any single-player game with a defined ending. At two hours an evening the main story alone takes a month.
