Nintendo fans have been counting down to today's third trailer for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom open world adventure blockbuster. The fan base tuned in this afternoon, with great anticipation and excitement, to the final pre-launch video preview. The game's producer - Eiji Aonuma - hinted that more was to come after last month's extensive gameplay demonstration, and Nintendo's marketing push has seemingly delivered on that promise.

The older trailers and press material have, some may say deliberately, kept major details to a minimum - Nintendo has become quite adept at controlling product hype levels in the Switch console's lifetime. Today's reveal smashed the doors wide open with major story beats, key allies plus foes, airborne shenanigans, a variety of combat scenarios, new environments and locations, as well as sharing a surprising dose of dialogue and interactions from Zelda herself. Team N has perhaps justified the increased asking price for Tears of the Kingdom - coming in at $10 more when compared to its predecessor - Breath of the Wild.



Watch the final pre-launch trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, coming May 12th, only on Nintendo Switch:


The adventure is yours to create in a world fuelled by your imagination. An epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule awaits in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch.

The Upheaval has come to Hyrule. Embark on a perilous quest to find the missing princess and unravel the truth behind a cataclysmic event that has sent the kingdom into turmoil.

Explore the vast land - and skies - of Hyrule. You'll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above.

Create your own inventions! Harness the power of Link's new abilities to craft and construct fantastic weapons and vehicles!



The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available to pre-order for $69.99.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
The Zelda series lost me as soon as they went cell shaded. I don’t know why but I literally cannot stand it. Shame I grew up with those games back when it was like 8bit

Ah yes, Reggie, before Iwata passed away, when Nintendo wasnt ass shit a company as it is today
As shit as it is, it's the only studio still pulling out decent games not broken beyond belief at release.

Game Freaks doesn't count, those guys are freaks.

Imagine what they could do with decent hardware

They are used to being the underdog in hardware and it works fine for them. We also do know that a new whatever from them that is 4k capable has been in development. They know what they are doing.

Nintendo is going to get to 4k and when they do the majority of PC gamers are still going to be 1080p 60hz.
