Nintendo has announced a release date and new title for the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The highly anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild will be released on May 12, 2023. But it won’t be called Breath of the Wild 2, as Nintendo has finally revealed its title as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The announcement was made in a new trailer. Check it out below for a glimpse of Link falling through the sky.

We’re not much wiser about what the game is all about after this short trailer. It shows a series of carvings and gives us a few glimpses of Link falling through the clouds, riding on what appears to be a floating platform and flying through the sky. Of course, this also includes the necessary cliff climbing.
But it’s been a long time since we heard anything concrete about the Breath of the Wild sequel. Originally announced at E3 2019, we had to wait another two years before getting a second glimpse of Link’s upcoming adventure. The last detail we heard was confirmation that the game had been delayed for launch in 2023. Now we know exactly when it will be released next year.
With Breath of the Wild considered one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there, expectations for this upcoming sequel are high. We expect to hear more details and see a special gameplay trailer in another Nintendo Direct closer to launch.
