The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is nominated for the most anticipated game at The Game Awards
The Game Awards are not very far away, in fact, we would know which game wins The Game of the Year Award within the next 24 hours. What caught everyone unaware recently is this new nomination. The jury for Game Awards has gone ahead and named this upcoming open-world action-adventure sequel the most anticipated game of 2023.
And this does not even come as a surprise to gamers. There are already talks of Nintendo winning 2023 because of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The sequel itself has a huge legacy to carry. Breath of the Wild was the most acclaimed game of 2017. It has a Metacritic score of 97%.
There were a few people who mocked its visuals for being outdated. But every gamer that played this game knew its charm and knew why it was so successful. The game’s producer Eiji Aonuma had once mentioned that Breath of the Wild took over five years to develop.

In terms of sales, it has sold over 22 million copies by 2022. And Tears of the Kingdom has been in development for over 5 years too. So it makes sense for fans and Nintendo to have similar expectations with this upcoming game.
Fans are very excited for Tears of the Kingdom
The nomination of this game as the most anticipated game of 2023 has met with a very positive response. Even though some fans are worried that this game might meet the fate of the previous Nintendo release Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, they are still hopeful. Some are also mentioning this game is not developed by Game Freak, the developers of ill-fated Pokemon games.
We've been excited since you dropped the first teaser 5 years ago. We're hungry for this game. Now you got me thinking trailer and pre-sales starting tonight. Or, a downloadable demo in the eShop maybe? It'd drive us to ravaging as the speculation drives us to the release date.

Tears of the Kingdom has to live up to it's prequel game. And I am expecting to be just as good as BOTW. Besides Link, we'll get more voice acting scenes…and I hope for a lot more Zelink!!

Not really tbh. Bought a switch for the first one 4 years ago but still haven't finished it, 3 tries later. Just lost interest.
Ended up buying Skyrim again for the 4th time and finishing it twice. Open world feels much more alive imo.
