The highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom release date is finally here, we couldn’t be happier. A sequel to Nintendo’s 2017 megahit, it was first announced back at E3 2019, where a short trailer showed off the events following Link’s climactic battle with Calamity Ganon. It provided a somber, even creepy first look at a new Hyrule under greater threat than ever before.
The darker tone and disturbing tease of what looks to be a zombified Ganondorf certainly got BotW fans talking, and we were all abuzz with unbridled excitement. Then, during the Nintendo Direct September 2022 showcase, we finally got a solid release date – and, at long last, this iconic RPG is finally here.
