New Official Wilds Era Legend of Zelda Game Quietly Announced

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom turned some of its strangest little distractions into memorable parts of exploring Hyrule, and that concept has been turned into a brand-new Legend of Zelda game. Not every memorable moment involved a massive dungeon, a difficult boss, or one of the game's bigger story beats. Sometimes it was simply stumbling across something odd in the wilderness and realizing there was an entire side activity waiting to be discovered. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's open world was particularly good at turning those small encounters into reasons to keep wandering.
