A brand new Nintendo Direct arrived last September 13, 2022, and it certainly did not disappoint! There were a sheer amount of title reveals, all new titles, and updates. Here are the big announcements from the event.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA TEARS OF THE KINGDOM
After a very long wait, the sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a new trailer with exciting information like its title, official release date, and some gameplay. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
In the trailer, we see some ways to traverse the devastated Hyrule. Aside from walking or sprinting, you can climb through vines or walls, use moving platforms, and glide through the skies. Another important to note from the trailer is the glyphs. What do they mean?
We will have plenty of time to speculate and make our own theories because The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will be released on May 12, 2023.
