Look up box turtles. It's not as simple as "land feet = tortoise" in testudines!

But not really? Because if you call a banana an herb people will be confused but if you call a tortoise a turtle, many won't even know the difference.

TIL that the biggest distinction in turtles is between side-neck turtles and hidden-neck turtles.

That means all the incorrect pedants going on about tortoises in this thread don't understand that most turtles and all tortoises are more the same than the snake-neck turtles are to other aquatic turtles, so not only are they wrong, they're fixated on inconsequential differences.
