The long-awaited sequel to the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is finally within reach, and you can start measuring the time until release in a matter of weeks instead of years or months — particularly since the game has gone gold. Nintendo announced the sequel all the way back in 2019 with a spooky, jaw-dropping teaser. In the nearly four years since, information on the game has been doled out in small increments, and the cloud of Breath of the Wild 2 hung over every Nintendo Direct. But during the September 2022 Direct, a ray of light broke through that cloud, and Tears of the Kingdom was unveiled.
