Nintendo To Present 10 Minutes Of 'Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom' Gameplay

Ten minutes of Tears gameplay will be shown on Tuesday during a live debut on Nintendo's YouTube channel with series producer Eiji Aonuma.

It's unclear exactly what gamers will see, but it's safe to assume the demo of 'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' will include new mechanics and avoid big plot spoilers.

The new game retains the open-world gameplay that made Breath of the Wild popular when the Switch first arrived, but it now has a new setting (the floating islands above Hyrule) and a tonne of fresh ways to explore the environment.

On a massive hoverboard, gamers can soar, travel through the air in a powered chariot, and even grind rails.

Nintendo hasn't released all the details of Tears of the Kingdom, but we can anticipate a lot more gameplay changes.

Join The Legend of #Zelda series producer, Eiji Aonuma, for roughly 10 minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: #TearsOfTheKingdom on 3/28 at 7:00 a.m. PT on our YouTube channel.

Pre-orders for the sequel are currently being accepted for its May 12 release. There's a lot riding on Tears.

The Switch's standout launch title, its predecessor, is thought to have contributed to Nintendo's console becoming one of the best-selling ones of all time.

Six years later, this new game is being released with high hopes and a considerably larger potential fan following.
