A lot of hype has been building toward the launch of Nintendo’s sequel to Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and we just got a new trailer that showcases the return to Hyrule and the introduction of the massive floating cities above it.
Watch this:
Here’s the official description:
An epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits in The Legend of Zelda™: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch. The adventure is yours to create in a world fueled by your imagination.
In this sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you’ll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. Can you harness the power of Link’s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom?
Watch the latest trailer to see what Link’s latest quest has in store, including never before seen weapons and mysterious vehicles…
It was already pretty impressive how expansive Breath of the Wild was for a Nintendo game, so it’s kind of crazy that Nintendo has opened up the world more by having Link jumping around on castles in the sky.
With the Switch not having the same kind of power that rival consoles like the PlayStation and Xbox has, it’s curious just how they’ll be able to pull off Tears of the Kingdom which looks to have an expansive world to offer. I just hope it’s going to be worth the $70 price point.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to launch for the Nintendo Switch on May 1.
