Maybe the swelling and moving soundtrack is missing, but books have everything else. Legendary weapons, wonderful anthropomorphic races, and towering magical villains? Oh, books definitely have all of those. Heroes wandering a lush landscape on an epic and nearly impossible quest? Books. That’s where the genre started, after all. The next major entry, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, hits Nintendo Switch on May 12.īooks are no strangers to fantasy, of course. Each game has built upon the last, bringing something fresh and challenging to new generations of fans. Since 1986, the simple formula, with its iconic music and characters, has been entertaining audiences through dozens of games. Link, the often-amnesiac, elfish knight, wanders the fallen kingdom of Hyrule trying to save the orphaned princess, Zelda. We also know that Tears of the Kingdom will have the largest file size of any first party Nintendo Switch game, include classic enemies from Ocarina of Time, and cost a heftier than usual $70 to match its scope, but the main reason fans are excited is because Breath of the Wild is considered one of the best games of all time.įans can even enjoy it on a limited edition Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo Switch that was announced alongside the gameplay presentation.The Legend of Zelda is one of the biggest, most successful video game franchises in the world. Tears of the Kingdom also looks to give players even more freedom than Breath of thr Wild, adding a new Fuse ability alongside Recall, Ultrahand, and Ascend. Nestled between a Lizalfos and what appears to be a giant Bokoblin in February's trailer, the spook is best known for haunting Castle Town's ruined market place following the time jump. The sequel also seemingly includes a classic Ocarina of Time enemy, and while it's not a boss, the infamous ReDead monster is just as iconic. It's also not the only boss-looking beastie shown in the new trailer, suggesting Tears of the Kingdom is returning to a classic Zelda boss formula instead of Breath of the Wild's more systematic approach. It's two-headed variant also appeared in Oracle of Seasons, but this version of Gleeok will be making its return after 36 years.

Though a two-headed version last made an appearance in 2007's Phantom Hourglass, the three-headed Gleeok shown in the new trailer (below) hasn't been seen since The Legend of Zelda, as in the very first game in the franchise that launched in 1987. As revealed in the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer, that already revealed a ton of story details and gave fans their first look at Ganondorf, Gleeok is rearing its heads for the first time in 16 years.
