The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is set to launch on Nintendo Switch this Friday, May 12th. The game will be available for purchase on My Nintendo Store and at selected retailers, inviting players to embark on an epic adventure across the land and skies of Hyrule and unravel the truth behind a cataclysmic event that has sent the kingdom into turmoil.
In this exciting new installment, players will explore sprawling landscapes and mysterious floating islands, facing new destinations, dangers, sights, and puzzles that require both wits and resourcefulness to overcome. To aid in their quest, players can harness the power of Link’s new abilities to combat the malevolent forces threatening the kingdom. These abilities include Fuse, Ultrahand, Recall, and Ascend, each offering unique ways to navigate the world, construct vehicles, and outsmart foes.
Launching alongside The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on May 12th is a new Link amiibo. By tapping this amiibo, players can receive weapons, materials, and special fabric for Link’s paraglider. Scanning other amiibo from The Legend of Zelda series will also provide helpful materials, weapons, or paraglider fabrics based on the specific amiibo scanned.
