BOTW 2: Has it been this long since we got any news about the upcoming Zelda game? Thankfully, today’s Nintendo Direct provided us with yet another look at Nintendo’s upcoming action-adventure game to tide us over until its 2019 release. Known as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it will be released on May 13, 2023.
It’s worth noting that, even though many of us will likely continue to refer to the game as Breath of the Wild 2 for quite some time, that is not its official name. After all, it appears to be directly related to the prior free-roaming game.
Oddly, the game’s title was revealed thus late because for a long time Nintendo said that revealing the “true” name of the upcoming BotW game would reveal too much about the plot. So, any educated guesses, folklorists, as to what the title might refer to?
The preview doesn’t reveal much and is brief. The big news is the title and the release date. In-game hieroglyphics may hint at a myth or the game’s overarching tale, but these are the only clues we have so far.
To my untrained eye, the emblems surrounding the godlike figure look like tears. Brief gameplay was shown, though, and it highlighted how often Link will be taking to the air. Finally, he can glide! And it looks like there will be more than enough climbing to go around.
When news dried up in 2022, it drove some fans to despair as they pieced together what they could from the inadvertent spoilers of an Italian voice actor. However, we have seen a good portion of the game’s content.

We already knew that the verticality was going to be a big deal in the BotW sequel, and now we know that the internet’s new boyfriend is a dried-up husk. There are now islands in the sky where large sections of the planet used to be. And it looks like Link can teleport above (and maybe below?) himself now, too.
Many have drawn comparisons between these parts of BotW 2 and Skyward Sword, but who can say what the game’s overall focus will be? A frightening tone pervaded the first trailer that was released.
The islands that float among the clouds are often infested by a blight, so even the more optimistic views in the sky have an air of desolation to them. This explains why there are so many outlandish speculations about the future of BotW 2 among fans.

Nintendo claims that the reason behind BotW 2’s existence is that the studio behind the game couldn’t include all of its planned content in the original release. For this reason, some have theorised, the initial BotW game’s concept art could hold clues to the franchise’s future.
Aonuma stated during an interview that the team “initially was just thinking of DLC ideas,” but that they quickly came up with too many concepts and decided to “create one new game and start from scratch.”
