Nintendo reveals The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for May 12

Nintendo finally gave us a title and release date for the sequel to Breath of the Wild. The new game is called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It will launch on Switch on May 12.

Beyond the title, Nintendo also showed some gameplay. Link will apparently spend a lot of time in the air in the new game, as the new trailer showed him flying, gliding and ascending. It’s not much, especially considering how close we now are to release, but it’s at least something.
