The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis a 2023 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), Tears of the Kingdom retains aspects including the open world environment of Hyrule, which has been expanded to allow for more vertical exploration. Link, the protagonist, joins Princess Zelda to defeat The Demon King, who seeks to destroy Hyrule.

Tears of the Kingdom was conceived after ideas for Breath of the Wild downloadable content (DLC) had exceeded its scope. Its development was led by Nintendo's Entertainment Planning & Development (EPD) division, with Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi and producer Eiji Aonuma reprising their roles. A teaser was shown at E3 2019 with a full reveal at E3 2021. Tears of the Kingdom was initially planned for release in 2022 before being delayed to May 2023. It received universal critical acclaim, with praise for its expanded open world and features encouraging exploration and experimentation.


Tears of the Kingdom builds on the gameplay of the previous Legend of Zelda game, Breath of the Wild (2017). It adds abilities including Recall, which reverses time for an object; Fuse, allowing the combination of weapons and materials found to form custom weapons; Ultrahand, which sticks objects together to allow for the modular construction of devices, vehicles and other structures; Ascend, with lets the player travel through surfaces above them;and Autobuild, an ability which consumes a currency known as Zonaite to summon any structure that the player has built using Ultrahand.



Development of Tears of the Kingdom started in 2017 after Breath of the Wild was completed.It was announced at E3 2019 as a sequel to Breath of the Wild. At E3 2021, Nintendo debuted a trailer revealing gameplay, story elements and a 2022 release window,but Nintendo later changed the release window to Q2 2023. More information was revealed in the Nintendo Direct presentation held in September 2022, including the title Tears of the Kingdom and a release date of May 12, 2023,and another Nintendo Direct in February 2023 teased more gameplay elements.

As with Breath of Wild, Tears of the Kingdom was directed by Hidemaro Fujibayashi and produced by Eiji Aonuma.The game was conceived after the team was unable to use every idea planned for Breath of the Wild's downloadable content.New elements include floating islands above Hyrule, with players able to soar between them in a style similar to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011).
Aonuma cited inspiration from the open-world games Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A playable version of the game also leaked online two weeks before release.
