The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now just weeks away from launching on Switch, and it looks like we’re finally getting some substantial information on what to expect from Link’s next big outing.
In a new update, Nintendo’s official game page for this upcoming release has revealed where our hero will begin his new adventure. It’s not that surprising, but if you haven’t guessed already, Link will start in…spoiler alert…”the sky high above Hyrule” on one of the many mysterious floating islands.
Here’s exactly what the official site says about it, which also sheds light on his immediate goal:
“Link begins his journey on one of the many mysterious floating islands that have suddenly appeared in the sky high above Hyrule. There, our hero will have to acquire new abilities before returning to the surface world and beginning his epic adventure.”
Again, this isn’t all that surprising given the emphasis the three main trailers for the sequel have placed on the skies above Hyrule. As previously shown by Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, there will be all kinds of puzzles and enemies waiting for Link in the sky.
Of course, the land of Hyrule will still play a significant role in Tears of the Kingdom, with the website further detailing how “familiar locations” have been dramatically transformed – with new cities, “wet caves” and mysterious gaping chasms. There was even a leak yesterday about some of these locations.
