Finally, the successor to the magnificent The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has an official title and release date: it will be May 12, 2023, when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Come to Nintendo Switch. The Japanese company announced the news last night, broadcasting one of its Nintendo Directs.

Of course, Nintendo’s virtual conference gave much more. Specifically, moving forward with the launch of more than 40 games and other content that the Nintendo Switch will receive over the next few months, and it was actually at the end of the video, even after saying goodbye, when The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was seen briefly.

Ahead of what is expected to be the Kyoto team’s next big hit, titles of all types and conditions paraded across the screen, such as Bayonetta 3, Fire Emblem: Engage, Just Dance 2023 Edition, Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Mario Strikers Fighting League, Octopath Traveler II, Pikmin 4, Resident Evil Village Cloud, Tales of Symphonia Remastered, Tunic…

In short, a bit of everything, except for the new main IPs; but ultimately from everything, including exclusive releases, remodels that will give you a lot to talk about and play, add special content and a new batch of Nintendo 64 games with classics on the level golden eye 007 either Pilotwings 64 and of course Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will be able to enjoy it.

All in all, and despite a fleeting preview that doesn’t even measure up to the trailer, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was the most recognized for several reasons: we can finally stop calling him Breath of the Wild 2 and after several postponements we can finally wait for them on a specific date. And since Nintendo doesn’t sew without thread, it seems difficult for her to move.

In fact, it’s a constant when launching great games in this series that each one takes longer to be ready than the next, so it’s not that the wait between The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Y The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom became long, is that it is: yes the first saw the light in March 2017, the second will do so in May 2023six years later, which is called early.

Be that as it may, everything seems to indicate that the wait will be worth it, although there is also the question of whether tears of the kingdom they won’t be able to beat anymore, we’re happy with the tie, the title as formidable as it is breath of the wild. We will be able to verify this in less than six months. Meantime…

You can watch a sneak preview below The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on display at the Nintendo Direct… and if you watch the video from the beginning, the rest of the conference and all the games featured in it. Watch out for the catalog the Nintendo Switch is amassing.
