THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TEARS OF THE KINGDOM TRAILER

ABOUT TEARS OF THE KINGDOM

The trailer overall doesn’t give away too much, focusing on some stone wall art and then Link as he leaps into the sky. The trailer also shows Link on a stone bird-looking flying creature which appears to be a new flying mechanic. This focus on flying and leaping into the sky is intentional. According to Nintendo, the skies above Hyrule will be a focus of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In addition to the vast lands of Hyrule, the latest entry in the storied Legend of Zelda series will take you up into the skies and an expanded world that goes beyond that! Look forward to Link’s massive adventure starting again when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, drops for Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023

Fans can likely expect more details and footage to be released in the coming weeks and months as May 2023 approaches.
