Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the long-anticipated sequel to 2017’s Breath of the Wild, will be released for Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023. The title was revealed at the end of a new trailer that premiered during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase, which teases a shattered Hyrule and some of the new stasis powers that Link will have at his disposal.
