Legend Of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: Release date confirmed

The Legend of Zelda series is continuing with the sequel of Breath of the Wild next on Nintendo’s agenda, with Tears of the Kingdom.

While many initially expected the next title to be named Breath of the Wild 2, Nintendo stunned the gaming community by revealing what was an utterly sensational gameplay trailer during their 2022 Nintendo Direct event.

Released back in 2017, the first game provided an entirely new direction for the hugely successful fantasy action-adventure series and is widely considered to be one of the greatest games not only on the Nintendo Switch but of all time. 

As you would expect, Tears of the Kingdom has a lot to live up to with many hoping that Breath of the Wild matches, or even succeeds its predecessor. 

The story is set to pick up where the first game ended and won the award for the Most Anticipated Nintendo Game at the E3 2021 Awards Show back in June 2021. 

Players will be eager to find out more context around Breath of the Wild 2 as Nintendo continue to be incredibly secretive.
