we cryin??

Definitely confirms what we all thought about this being a darker Zelda game.

Yeaaaaah, that's a bit of a letdown. It's pretty plain for a title that was kept secret and hyped up for so long.

 

[Mikey the Moblin]

so we can all agree that they just had no idea on the title and made up the story about "spoilers" right

I hate that they’re sticking with BotWs naming scheme. I’d much rather we got a name that actually describes some aspect of the game. Granted they still haven’t shown really anything about the game so maybe I’ll be wrong.

The release date is a lot later than I was expecting. Its only a week before my birthday so maybe I’ll wait to play it until then.

I've got a friend that made a speculation earlier,

Tear" could mean one of two of the following:

#1- Crying, as in mourning
#2- Tearing, as in to rip apart

Which from the end of the OG Teaser and the last two trailers, the later makes the most sense.

But def agree with what you said, "Zelda: _____ of the _____" is way too generic

I'm honestly really cool with the title. It sounds vaguely ominous. It probably means we're going to have to find a certain amount of tears to get to the final boss. That kind of hearkens back to sacred tears found in other titles. I'm just happy we finally have a confirmed day that we're getting this. It finally feels like a real game that's actually coming out and not just some wild concept. Me and probably every other obsessive zelda fan will probably look over the new trailer again later to see what other details we can figure out about tears of the Kingdom.

yooo did y'all see the cover art?

 

[Link Floyd]

I don't mind the title. While it does sound kind of plain, it does however imply that the game's story will have a darker tone.

I'm hyped!

The more I toss the name around in my head, the more it's growing on me. I'm just glad it didn't have breath or wild in it. That would've felt shoehorned as hell.

larger keyart for those wanting a wallpaper yeet (hopefully xenforo didnt mess with the size on mobile)

Maybe it could also refer to "tiers" as in, the layers of sky islands.

Also, is it me, or does Link look a little more masculine in the promo art?

 

[CynicalSquid]

Am I the only one who thinks the sword in the logo looks a little “twilighty”

Is anybody else wondering what's on Link's hip...?
