While only 86 seconds long, there's plenty to discuss. Amazingly, it's now been more than 1,000 days since its announcement. The first trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom debuted during Nintendo's E3 showcase in June 2019. "In order to make the game's experience something special, the entire development team is continuing to work diligently on this game, so please wait a while longer." However, the expanded world goes beyond that, and there will be an even wider variety of features you can enjoy including new encounters and new gameplay elements," he continued. "As previously announced, the adventure in this sequel will take place not just on the ground as in the previous game but also in the skies above. For those of you who have been looking forward to a release this year, we apologise. However, we have decided to extend our development time a bit and change the release to Spring 2023. "We previously announced that we were aiming for a 2022 release for this game. "I have an update to share on the launch timing of the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," said Aonuma. Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed the delay in a video announcement made in March 2022: Originally announced at E3 2019, Tears of the Kingdom was first scheduled to launch sometime in 2022, however, was pushed back to Spring 2023. Zelda games also have a history of being delayed time and time again, so when 2022 was slated as the current date, we were still a little apprehensive. Let's hope no further delays occur. Regardless, now that Tears of the Kingdom is launching in May, there's no clear pattern and Nintendo will just launch the game when it's good and ready.ĭue to the global pandemic, numerous games around the world have been delayed as a result and it's only set to continue to affect the industry for the next few years.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will launch on for the Nintendo Switch.Since The Legend of Zelda first made its debut on the NES all the way back in 1986, there have been over 26 games in the mainline series (including remakes). We might get more concrete information about Tears of the Kingdom ahead of its release, though. It’s dubious at best, considering there isn’t any proof like screenshots or a track record from the leaker to support them. None of the information in this leak has been confirmed. However, he admits at the end of the video that he doesn’t think playable Zelda is likely because of how Nintendo has dodged the possibility for so long. SwitchForce also pointed out that he could “look different” if New Game Plus enabled playing as other characters like Zelda. SwitchForce notes that this could be lost in translation and is probably the least clear detail mentioned in the leak, considering “look different” could mean a number of things from changing outfits to Link’s arm returning to normal. Related to New Game Plus, Link will apparently “look different” at the end of Tears of the Kingdom. New Game Plus is a feature that enables players to carry over progress like stats, weapons, and other items into a new playthrough so that it’s easier to explore areas you might’ve missed and replay specific moments without grinding through the same content again. Tears of the Kingdom might also incorporate “New Game Plus,” which would be a first for the Legend of Zelda series.
