Some new official art for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Nintendo

  • The next Legend of Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom, will release on May 12, 2023.
  • Nintendo revealed the game's title and release date alongside a new trailer on September 13.
  • Tears of the Kingdom will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and is a direct sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild.

It's been five years since the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and three years since Nintendo announced they were working on a sequel. Since 2019, news about the game has been sparse.

But during Tuesday's Nintendo Direct, we got more news about this new Legend of Zelda game than we ever have before.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will release in May 2023

Tuesday's Nintendo Direct ended with a short trailer for the next Zelda game. And that trailer ended with two reveals:

  • The new game is titled The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
  • It's planned for release on May 12, 2023.

These are both big pieces of news. Up until this point, the game had only been referred to as "The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." And all we knew about the release date was that Nintendo had planned it for "Spring 2023."

No one is quite sure what the title refers to yet — in fact, we don't even know what definition of the word "Tear" it's using. Is it a tear you cry? Or like a tear in a piece of paper? Until someone at Nintendo actually says the name aloud, your guess is as good as ours.

It's also important to note that even though Nintendo has given us May 12, 2023 as an official release date, it's not necessarily set in stone. Plenty of Zelda games in the past have experienced delays, even after receiving a solid release date. This game was originally planned for 2022 after all. Nintendo seems determined to ship Tears of the Kingdom in 2023, but there are no guarantees.

It'll release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch — unless Nintendo suddenly reveals a new console, like the rumored Switch Pro. And it'll likely cost $ 59.99 on release like most Nintendo games.

Tears of the Kingdom is a sequel to 2017's Breath of the Wild

Games in the Legend of Zelda series are all connected by one long and confusing timeline. Despite this, it's rare for a Zelda game to ever receive a direct sequel that features the same characters in the same time period.

This is a big reason why fans are so hyped for Tears of the Kingdom: It's a direct sequel to 2017's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Breath of the Wild received universal acclaim upon release, and is considered one of the best Zelda games — if not one of the best video games — of all time. Even five years after its release, it still routinely makes the list of the Switch's bestselling games each month.

All this is to say that Tears of the Kingdom has a lot of weight on its shoulders. The few trailers we've seen of the new game make it look like it'll keep Breath of the Wild's art style and general gameplay systems. But when it comes to the story, we don't have much to go on.

However the plot pans out, we're sure that Nintendo will reveal more in the coming months.

Orange Is the New Black’s cast in season seven saw the actors behind Piper Chapman (played by Taylor Schilling) and Nicky Nichols (Natasha Lyonne) return for the final ever series on Netflix. While several regulars made their comebacks, a handful of new faces also appeared, including Shani (Marie Lou-Nahhas) and Zelda (Alicia Witt). Zelda made quite the impact on Piper in season seven and OITNB fans are keen to learn more about the actor who plays her.

Who is Zelda in OITNB season 7?

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Orange Is the New Black season 7.

Zelda’s first introduced to Orange Is the New Black in the eighth episode of season seven.

OITNB viewers see her strike up an instant connection with Piper while on a retreat.

Piper thinks Zelda is part of a ploy by her sister-in-law to get her to split from wife Alex (Laura Prepon) but its turns out that isn’t the case.

WHO IS KAREN REUTER? WHY IS OITNB SEASON 7 DEDICATED TO HER?

However, Zelda and Piper’s natural spark is unavoidable and the pair’s relationship begins to blossom.

Piper manages to avoid succumbing to Zelda’s charms until CO McCullough (Emily Tarver) pays her a visit.

McCullough tells Piper about her and Alex’s sexual antics in the prison, prompting a furious reaction from Piper.

Piper’s left under the impression Alex has left her for the prison guard and makes her way to Zelda’s apartment.

Zelda and Piper spend a night of passion together and, after Piper and Alex’s official split in the series finale, it appears they’re meant to be together.

However, in the very final scene of OITNB, Piper chooses Alex over Zelda, visiting her in prison in Ohio in one of the most heartwarming scenes of the series.

OITNB SEASON 7 ENDING EXPLAINED

Who plays Zelda in OITNB season 7?

Zelda is portrayed in Orange Is the New Black by 43-year-old actress Alicia Witt.

Witt appears in six episodes of series seven – episodes eight through 13.

Orange Is the New Black may be the actor’s most recent role but she’s appeared in a number of hit TV series and movies.

Prior to OITNB, Witt’s most notable role came in CBS sitcom Cybill in the ‘90s.

Witt racked up over 80 acting credits in Cybill while also landing parts in Hollywood flicks Citizen Ruth and Bongwater.

WHICH LOVE ISLAND STARS FEATURE IN OITNB SEASON 7?

In the ‘00s, Witt enjoyed roles in Al Pacino blockbuster 88 Minutes and the Hugh Grant-led Two Weeks Notice.

On the small screen, the OITNB star landed parts in NBC drama Friday Night Lights and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Witt’s also enjoyed success in recent years, securing recurring roles in ABC’s Nashville and even appeared in AMC horror The Walking Dead.

OITNB viewers may also recognise Witt for her roles in 2018 flicks Spare Room and Mississippi Requiem.

Orange Is the New Black season 7 is available to stream on Netflix now.

 fans have been treated to some fantastic games news ahead of the rumoured Direct conference.

The next Legend of Zelda game has been confirmed by Nintendo, who are hiring more staff for the project.

With production ramping up on the potential Breath of the Wild sequel, Nintendo has posted a new Legend of Zelda job advert.

The Japanese job advert (via Gamingbolt), is for a 3D terrain designer on the new game.

A previous advert called for somebody with experience in creating consumer games, which suggests the new release is for consoles.

It’s possible the next Zelda game will serve as a sequel to Breath of the Wild, although it’s more likely to be a brand new entry.

Zelda director Hidemaro Fujibayashi previously said that concepts and ideas are being gathered for the next Zelda game.

There’s a slim chance the new Zelda game could be unveiled during the rumoured January Nintendo Direct conference.

Other rumours suggest that the Nintendo Switch will get a Skyward Sword port, or a Link’s Awakening remake.

The January Nintendo Direct conference could also shed some light on the new Fire Emblem game, Animal Crossing Switch, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and the Gen 8 Pokemon title.

Bayonetta 3 could also make an appearance, perhaps alongside a Persona 5 port.

Nintendo is also rumoured to be working on a new Mario Maker title, as well as Super Mario Odyssey DLC.

Elsewhere, the company will almost certainly reveal new DLC characters for Super Smash Bros.

  • In 1986, the original “Legend of Zelda” arrived on the Nintendo Entertainment System and, subsequently, spawned a decades-long blockbuster franchise.
  • The original game’s open-world environment was massive at the time, and half of that world was hidden from players — it’s known as the “minus world.”
  • One intrepid YouTube creator managed to access to the game’s minus world recently. What he found is fascinating and bizarre.

The original “Legend of Zelda” for the Nintendo Entertainment System is a massive, open-world game — and it could’ve been even bigger.

That’s because the game’s voluminous open world was actually cut in half before the game’s release; the lower half is known as the game’s “minus world,” where elements of the game could be tested by its developers at Nintendo.

The only thing we know for sure about the fourth theme park coming to the Universal Orlando Resort is that it’s in the works. Everything else is hidden behind lock and key. Rumors and whispers float around the internet, but nothing official has been announced. Not even a name.

Now, a series of new ride patents filed by Universal suggest what could be in store for visitors. These designs are purely technical and don’t come with labels suggesting what they could represent. But with a little bit of imagination, we can make some educated guesses about many of them.

Except for the one that is clearly supposed to be a Jurassic World ride. It’s a no-brainer.

As is the case with theme park patents, just because Universal filed them doesn’t mean these rides are going to be built. Universal and Disney frequently file patents for ride systems just to lock them down for theoretical future use. With that said, let’s assume that Universal has whipped up these designs because they have an entirely new theme park to fill with new attractions and have every intention of using them.

These designs come our way via WDW Info, and if you want to see more images and scan through the proper technical jargon, I’d recommend hitting that link.


A Jurassic World Gyrosphere Ride?

Let’s start with the obvious. Franchise producer Frank Marshall has mentioned in the past that Universal has wanted to make a ride based on the gyrosphere vehicles seen in Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. And here you go: a ride design that looks to place the rider within a spherical vehicle with a striking resemblance to what’s seen on the screen. The technical jargon describes a ride that would provide all the physical thrills of being bounced around in a giant glass ball by angry dinosaurs:

Movement of the passenger support system, and thus, the passenger, within the annular structure, causes the sensation of airflow around the passenger’s body (e.g., arms and legs) and may allow the passenger a heightened amusement ride experience. Additionally, relatively minor movement of the passenger support system may create additional forces on the rider’s body due, in part, to the distribution of gravitational forces. The combination of physical effects such as airflow and g-forces, along with visual effects such as a visual effect device, screen, or facade may provide the passenger with an immersive amusement ride experience.

The big question now is where this ride will go? There is already a Jurassic Park land at the Islands of Adventure theme park, and there has been buzz about a significant new attraction being built there in the coming years, more likely a rollercoaster. However, there have also been rumors about a separate Jurassic World land opening at the unnamed fourth park down the road, so this could also theoretically go there. One thing is for sure: Universal wants to make the gyrosphere experience a reality in one way or another.


A Zelda Horse-Riding Attraction?

The second patent isn’t quite as specific, and it’s built to simulate the experience of riding a motorcycle or a horse. Here’s more:

By positioning the rider in a facedown position or on a vehicle that, at least in some orientations, permits a downward gaze, the rider may experience a sensation and feeling of horseback riding, motorcycling, or the like. Additionally, the disclosed rider support assembly may allow the rider to experience sudden moments of positive and negative gravitational forces (e.g., g-forces) that enhance the sensation of riding or motorcycling, and provide a more pleasurable riding experience.

So, what ride could we be looking at here? With Universal bringing Super Nintendo World to its parks in the next few years, I can’t help but wonder if this will be themed to The Legend of Zelda, the iconic video game franchise about exploring a dangerous fantasy world, often on the back of your trusty steed. It’s still not clear where Super Nintendo World will open in Universal Orlando (if maybe that fourth unnamed park), but there have been additional rumors that Zelda will be spun off into its own land entirely, away from the Mario-centric core world (which will host a ride based around Mario Kart).


A Flying Ride For The Wizarding World?

The next patent is even less specific and involves a little bit of spitballing on my part. As you can see in the designs, the ride vehicle will hoist the rider into the air and place them parallel to the ground, simulating flying over a screen or through actual environments. So, what is a major franchise that involves flight and is already popular in Universal’s theme parks? My educated guess is that this could be a new Harry Potter ride, possibly one being built for that mysterious fourth park. Visits can already stop by Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida, so rumors point to the new park getting the Ministry of Magic. And what better way to explore that massive space than in the air, flying through its giant lobbies, corridors, and dangerous inner chambers?

A Moving Show Ride, But For What We Have No Idea

And finally, I have nothing to say about this patent beyond “Hey, that looks cool and could probably support a number of different themes.” Theme park fans are no stranger to 4D shows, where seats rock in front of 3D screens and various effects (water, heat, etc.) add to the immersion. This design asks “What if the theater itself moved instead of just the seats?” The audience would be seated inside a giant sphere, which would move around them to increase the sense of motion.

With Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opening next year, expect a bunch of Universal announcements to arrive in the near future as they attempt to steal their thunder.

The Legend of Zelda remains a key franchise for Nintendo, which helped launch the company’s latest console.

Having had to wait a long time to play it, 2017 finally saw the release of Zelda Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch.

And the popular continues to collect exciting new projects, as well as headlines, a year after launch.

It was recently revealed that Link’s latest adventure had won big at the 14th British Academy Games Awards in London.

Zelda Breath of the Wild was nominated in several different categories, emerging with the best Game Innovation award.

Super Mario Odyssey also claimed a gong during the show, with the 3D platformer from Nintendo winning best Game Design and Family category.

And while it seems likely that we will see new Super Mario Odyssey content launched in 2018, it appears we have reached the end of the road with Zelda Breath of the Wild.

But that doesn’t mean new and exciting side projects aren’t being worked on.

While not coming directly from Nintendo, new prints have been released that help celebrate the hit Nintendo Switch title.

Fernando Reza has released his latest art prints project including characters from a Nintendo franchise.

The new Zelda propaganda prints are available now and provide a stark contrast to what gamers may have seen from the original publisher.

Set much in the same style of the propaganda imagery from World War 2 used with the cast of Super Mario Bros, the new selection of designs cost $ 40 each.

The complete set of 17 will set you back around $ 400

This new selection of prints, 17 in total, cost $ 40 each but you can buy a complete set for $ 400. Take a look at all 17 in the gallery below.

The prints can be seen on frodesignco.com, however, and will include an International Shipping cost of $ 14.00 for those looking from the UK.

While the Japanese games giant look set to close the chapter on their latest big gaming hit, Link is set to appear in another new title.

It has now been confirmed that Super Smash Bros will be launching on Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Not only that, but the Link from BOTW will also feature as part of the roster. Not much is known about the new project, with just a short teaser shown to fans.

During it, we could clearly see the BOTW version of Link as one of the main fighters, alongside Mario and the Splatoon Inklings.

Nintendo have yet to confirm if it is a new game or another Wii U port.

However, it seems likely that this will be a new instalment in the franchise, meaning the Link character could have some new moves to show off.

Another game is also launching soon that will contain special items from Zelda Breath of the Wild.

While Link himself won’t be available in Phantasy Star Online 2: Cloud, the new Nintendo Switch game will feature some notable inclusions from the game.

So far we know that Link’s standard clothing from Breath of the Wild will be available, along with the Hylian Shield and Master Sword.

More is likely to be announced ahead of release, which unfortunately is only currently planned in Japan.

Zelda Breath of the Wild has proved popular with fans on Nintendo Switch.

Having won some major awards and proved a massive driver of early sales, Nintendo also decided to launch new DLC content.

And while the Japanese games giant look set to close the chapter on their latest big gaming hit, Link is set to appear in another new title.

It has now been confirmed that Super Smash Bros will be launching on Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Not only that, but the Link from BOTW will also feature as part of the roster. Not much is known about the new project, with just a short teaser shown to fans.

So far we know that Link’s standard clothing from Breath of the Wild will be included, along with the Hylian Shield and Master Sword.

More is likely to be announced ahead of release, which unfortunately is only currently planned in Japan.

It was also recently confirmed that a new a limited edition OST collection is being released to celebrate the first year of Zelda Breath of the Wild’s launch.

This will arrive in April, and will feature all 211 original songs from the game.

It should be noted, however, that this collection has so far only been announced for Japan.

Nothing has appeared on the UK Nintendo website, so it’s unclear if fans here will get the chance to grab the new Zelda Breath of the Wild release.

This new music collection includes all the songs found in the game, even the ones featured in the recently released DLC.

The Limited Edition bundles will have all the music split across five CDs, and will also include a Play Button music player that will have 15 field tracks from The Legend of Zelda series.

Like the NES And SNES Mini, new tracks can’t be added to the player, with all the songs coming pre-loaded.

Zelda Breath of the Wild may have had all its DLC releases and content updates, but it’s still managing to make the news.

Coming up on a successful first year on the market, the new Legend of Zelda adventure is still one of the top Nintendo Switch games available.

This was recently confirmed by the title receiving yet another award for its impact.

The 21st DICE Awards saw Zelda Breath of the Wild take home the coveted Game of the Year award.

It was up against some tough competition, with Super Mario Odyssey and Horizon Zero Dawn also in the running.

It wasn’t the gong Nintendo took home that night either, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild grabbing another three.

These included:

  • Outstanding Achievement in Game Design
  • Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction
  • Adventure Game of the Year

There an impressive group of accolades to pick up, which bare witness to what a successful launch it made for the Nintendo Switch.

And while Zelda Breath of the Wild is pretty much done when it comes to new content, there may be further Zelda news later this year.

The Legend of Zelda franchise continues to be one of Nintendo’s top IPs, and the company certainly look keen to add another game to the Switch’s official games list.

There’s been reports that new remakes and ports are being worked on for both the Switch and 3DS, although fans may have to wait until E3 to hear more about them.

There’s also been a lot of news surrounding The Legend of Zelda franchise recently, some regarding what new Link adventures could be launching on Switch in the future.

Having seen the latest title take Link’s adventures down a slightly different gameplay route, it appears that the Zelda team are pleased with the results.

So pleased, they are aiming to create the same level of freedom found in Breath of the Wild, for their next big Switch project.

Speaking to IGN, Breath of the Wild Producer Eiji Aonuma gave a firm answer when it came to how the team want to deal with Link games in the future.

“You know, I can’t speak to what other people, other companies will do in their own games, but I think for me, especially just in terms of the Zelda series, the incredible freedom that this game offers you and how well that’s been received…to me, it means that freedom, that level of freedom is something that needs to be maintained in Zelda games going forward,” Aonuma commented.

“My eyes have been opened to how important that is.

“So one of the things that we definitely consider is that we always wanted to make sure the player could understand what their challenges or what their hurdle is. 

“We always wanted to make sure the challenge could be challenged. So we always wanted to make a linear way of [overcoming] a hurdle.”

Zelda creator Eiji Aonuma has also reportedly confirmed in a recent interview for the upcoming Breath of the Wild Master Books, that work on the next title is in progress.

But as you might expect, whatever is being worked on will likely take a long time to come to fruition.

The timeline between past Zelda games suggests a long wait, however, it’s fair to say that Breath of the Wild took longer, due in part to the Switch.
