The second trailer for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was revealed, featuring voice-acting for Zelda and Ganon, at the end of the Nintendo Direct presentation that aired today on February 8. The voice for Ganon is as chilling as you might expect. Even Zelda expresses doubt that Link can defeat him.
Link will have homing arrows and a cannon-like hammer
In a brief two-minute trailer, we hear Ganon commanding his servants to sweep over Hyrule and “eliminate the kingdom and her allies.” Under an ominous Blood Moon that Breath of the Wild fans will recognize, he ruthlessly orders his minions to leave no survivors. The trailer also revealed a multi-headed, fire-breathing beast on a stone bridge and monsters that seem to spawn from the moon itself, as they hurl down toward the land like meteors.
In a series of quick snapshots, we also got a lot of information about the game. We see Link riding a horse, being chased by a large cyclops in a cave, using his trusty sky glider, fighting a golem made out of cubes, and standing on the precipice of one of many rocky islands floating in the sky.
To fight back against the monsters, Link will have access to homing arrows, a cannon-like hammer that shoots exploding green projectiles, and a cool mechanical vehicle that he’ll be able to drive for quick travel across the field. Better yet, it looks like he’ll have a hot-air balloon and a hover drone he can stand on for air traversal.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is slated to release on May 12, 2023 for Nintendo Switch. It is available for pre-order now for $69.99 in the eShop.
