The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Moonface - Jun 15th, 2021
So we still don't know what the sequel to Breath of the Wild is called, but Nintendo did at least give us another look at the game during their E3 2021 presentation:
I want to watch it a few more times to put together my full thoughts, but I will say that I am really excited for this and hope it addresses the shortcomings that Breath of the Wild had as a Zelda game.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel Delayed to Spring 2023
Oh look, a new video for the Breath of the Wild sequ...... Oh... Welp.
I guess they at least showed a bit of new footage and info on the game itself which is better than just a video to announce a new date and give nothing else, but having the Master Sword broken doesn't interest me much right now because it's just a way to take it away from players for the next game without just taking the entire thing away and dumping it somewhere in the world. I wonder if repairing it will be part of the main story though, since for BotW it was optional to go and get it but it would be stupid for Link to be carrying around a busted sword and just decide "Nah I'm good" about it throughout the story.
I'm expecting the world to be filled with all the stuff the first game lacked though considering the delays and how this new update chooses to point out showcasing the world itself and everything it will contain.

The Sky stuff will definitely be interesting. I'm wondering if this is their way to revisit the Skyward Sword concepts and expand and flesh them out better than how that originally was.

I also wonder if the Master Sword is going to be the only weapon we repair, or if maybe the durability system now has a repair feature added to tackle the problems people had with it in BotW. It seems like a good middle ground to keep the system in place and make it better. It would also resolve the problem of having a ton of materials on you that end up being useless once you don't need to get any upgrades with them. All I do with a lot of my stuff in BotW is just sell it for rupees and then use those to buy arrows and cooking ingredients in the stores.

It's sad that this will be the first Zelda game I have 0 plans to buy. T_T *sigh*

Why is that? Did you not enjoy BOTW, or do you just not own a Switch?
Honestly, I'm considering pre-ordering it. And I rarely ever pre-order games... I did pre-order BOTW back with my Switch. That seemed weird, me pre-ordering a Zelda game. But that Zelda game ended up becoming one of my all-time favorites.

I doubt I'll pre-order the game because I never pre-order games unless they're special editions. At least this new trailer gave a strong hint that dungeons* are coming back proper by showing the seven tears, and I wonder if they're going to tie in to the Seven Sages of OoT at all due to the matching numbers.
For how excited I am for this game though, for some reason this trailer didn't really make me feel anything when I first watched it. I guess it might be because any gameplay shown is still just the map and Link traversing it, and with how navigation and physics worked in BotW I already know this game will do fine on that front, while things that BotW fell short on still haven't had anything concretely showing those things have been addressed for this game.
*I know BotW technically had dungeons with the divine beasts but they were just glorified shrines when their quality and scale is compared to anything in a previous Zelda title.
RE: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Release Date - Frank - Sep 15th, 2022
I agree with you MF. I'm very hyped but the trailer itself really didn't do much for me, other than finally giving me a proper title to call it. :-P
RE: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Release Date - Moonface - Sep 15th, 2022
Yeah, and on the note of the title, I don't get why Nintendo held off so long on revealing it when their reasoning for doing so was "We don't want the name to spoil anything". Tears of the Kingdom doesn't tell me much of anything about the game. I thought at first it referenced the land being torn up but I read that a Japanese translation of the title indicates "Tears" is pronounced as the word "fears" would be, but unless there's something related to tears in established Zelda lore it doesn't really tell us much beyond what the trailer already showed with the seven tears and Link's new ability.
RE: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Release Date - Frank - Sep 18th, 2022
I'm just really hoping they spent all this time refining it, and not holding it back to launch along side another Switch console revision. My launch console is fine until Nintendo's ready for their next generation
Either way I was talking to my girlfriend about this over the weekend, she's planning to pre-order day one, which means I'll be ordering her whatever special edition gets announced. Regarding myself has still to be determined. lol

Yeah I can't say that really said anything about the game's story. Tears of the Kingdom just implies that the Kingdom is... sad, for some reason or another. It's never quite been a thing (that I can recall) that sadness or tears of any kind to be of any relevance to the Zelda series. The games that even explore dark themes make no mention of these kinds of things so, who knows.
RE: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Release Date - queenzelda - Sep 20th, 2022
I own a Switch, I just am not a fan of the open world LoZ titles. Yes the first LoZ game is open world but the later ones are not, so I like the other LOZ games better. I also hated that the weapons broke a lot as well.. I also know that........Zelda is going to die. Thus the title. :| No thanks.

Just think about it. The devs said the title is a spoiler. I mean I could be wrong and missing the mark.. But because of the Queen passing away.. What else would I assume??? Still if I'm right a few months from now, then we'll know. If not, then oh well.
