New Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay reveals new mechanics and hidden ability

As the launch date for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom draws ever closer, new gameplay footage has emerged, showing off the new mechanics and potentially, a new ability that hasn't been revealed yet.

With Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom set to launch worldwide on Nintendo Switch as soon as Friday, April 12, most of the footage we've seen so far has been limited to just a few short trailers. There were lots of cool details to be found in the final teaser trailer that was shown off a few weeks ago, which we reacted to live on the Mirror Gaming YouTube channel. But now a fresh round of newly released gameplay footage has offered more peeks at what's to come.

Following a press and content creator preview event, longer gameplay videos have emerged online, showing off as much as 22 minutes of broken up gameplay segments. And these videos have revealed more information about how the new mechanics work, as well as hints of an as-of-yet unseen hidden ability.
