The Nintendo store in New York City is hosting a midnight launch event for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and it's so popular that the website where you reserve a spot broke almost immediately after going live.
If you haven't been, Nintendo New York is a magical place; a two-story store, gallery, and museum dedicated to some of the most enduring and beloved franchises in gaming. There's a clothing store, life-size replicas of iconic characters like Donkey Kong, Bowser, Mario, and Luigi, a giant screen to play different Nintendo games on, and even an old Game Boy that miraculously survived a bombing in the Gulf War. And of course, it's smack dab in the middle of my favorite city on Earth. With the possible exception of Tokyo, I can't imagine a better place to celebrate the launch of a new Zelda game, and apparently lots of people agree.
