With the Zelda tune playing in the background, the opening scene for the trailer gave goosebumps to fans as their beloved Zelda game returned after five years to Nintendo Switch. But the hype got even more when the final name of the latest upcoming title was revealed. According to the official trailer, the name of the Legend of Zelda Breath Of the Wild sequel will be “Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.”

While the game will be following the same journey as the 2017 hit game, the release date for the game might look a little farther than the anticipated dates from before. The official release date for the game is revealed to be May 12, 2023.

How did fans react to the game’s announcement?

Most fans were just extremely happy about the announcement as the wait finally paid off for them. Many said the game looks gorgeous, even though they think the video was a short one to judge.

While other games like Among Us and Odd Worlds welcomed the game with open arms. On the other hand, fans were hyped about the Zonai Swirl teased in the opening scenes of the video.

But still, many fans were skeptical about the release date as they couldn’t believe that Nintendo will release the game as they are promising it to release.
