This year's Game of the Year race just got a lot less heated, because Nintendo has officially taken the next Legend of Zelda game out of the running. Yes, the game currently known as Breath of the Wild 2 has been pushed to a Spring 2023 release, as it seems developers need a little bit more time.
Nintendo announced the move on Tuesday, complete with a video appearance from longtime Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. That video also features some clips of the game in action, including a look at Link what definitely appears to be a broken Master Sword. The plot thickens, indeed.
