Posted on April 14, 2023 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will have players beginning their journey in the sky, according to the official website.
It’s been made very clear at this point that the game is based on the same Hyrule from Breath of the Wild. However, many new additions and changes are included this time around – including floating islands to explore. The website indicates that the game starts here, and Link will then be able to return to the surface.
The site states:
Link begins his journey on one of the many mysterious floating islands that have suddenly appeared in the skies high above Hyrule. It’s there our hero will have to gain new abilities before returning to the surface world to begin his epic adventure.
As for Hyrule itself, Nintendo says: “Familiar locations have been dramatically transformed, with new towns, dank caves, and mysterious gaping chasms springing up across the world – all waiting to be explored.”
Aside from changes to Hyrule, we also know that Link will have new abilities this time around. These include Ultrahand, Fuse, Ascend, and Recall. Additional details are on the official website here.
You’ll be able to play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on May 12, 2023.
