Nintendo hosted a Nintendo Direct event today and they capped off the show with a title reveal for Breath of the Wild 2, previously known officially as “The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild“. The game is now called officially The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Beyond that, they dropped a release date for next year! We will all be playing this game on May 12th, 2013. Here’s the big unveiling trailer:
That wasn’t all, however. Nintendo decided to release some screenshots, the logo art, some new official art, and yes… even the boxart!

I am intrigued by the screenshot of the woman (?) that looks to be falling down, to me it looks like Urbosa. Also, the lore of the game seems to be about the Sonai (spelling?) race (they are the Kingdom referenced in title?) according to John from Nintendo Life who did a stream today where he plated BotW and found the symbolism of the green TotK circle on sybols of the pillar in the rain forest part of BotW hyrule!
