Zelda fans are eager for any information on Tears of the Kingdom; thankfully, sleuthing from fans may hint that eShop pre-orders are on their way along with a Nintendo Direct.
Changes to the Nintendo eShop page were discovered last weekend by users on the forum Famiboards . A poster in the thread known as daybreak noted that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom now has an NSUID attached to it, while it previously did not have one. So what does this mean? Typically, when a eShop game gets a NSUID attached to it, it means digital pre-orders on the platform will likely go live in the near-future.
This has also caused speculation that a Nintendo Direct presentation may be incoming – as pre-order details for Nintendo titles are typically announced as a part of its livestreams. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to release on May 12, 2023, so it would make sense that the marketing campaign will ramp up soon. Especially since Nintendo’s big game for January, Fire Emblem Engage, has now been released; there's no risk of Zelda hype harming sales.
