The first Nintendo Direct of the year is airing tonight, and I’m excited to see what Nintendo has up its sleeve for 2023. But, there's one game I think we’re all wanting to know more about.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to be released in just a few months, on May 12, 2023. It’s pretty much guaranteed that it will have some presence in tonight's Nintendo Direct presentation. Considering that Tears of the Kingdom is rumoured to be the last major release for the almost six-year-old Nintendo Switch console, we're hoping to see a deep-dive into the title, to see how it plans to differentiate itself from the incredible The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The first trailer for Tears of the Kingdom was released during Nintendo’s E3 2019 presentation; since then we’ve had two more trailers. We’ve seen a grand total of four minutes and 42 seconds of the game in the four years since the game’s reveal. So I have very little to go on, but I’m going to go ahead and go over some things I want to see from Link’s newest adventure in this Nintendo Direct.
