The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Gameplay demonstration, special OLED model announced
As announced yesterday, Nintendo shared a brand new video for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom today. It’s a gameplay demonstration hosted by Eiji Aonuma (Producer of the Legend of Zelda series), who came to showcase Link’s fancy new abilities. He also announced that development is now officially completed!
Here’s the video, which runs a little over 10 minutes (with a special announcement just after!):
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll decide your own path through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the vast skies above. The journey is yours to create in this sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, an epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule. In a world fueled by your imagination, you’ll need to harness the power of Link’s new abilities to fight back against the malevolent forces that threaten the kingdom.
