IGN's Zelda Fans React to Tears of the Kingdom's Best Trailer
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom final pre-release trailer hit earlier this week, and it was everything we hoped it would be: exciting, revealing, emotional, filled with surprises but never venturing too far into spoiler-territory. Some of us watched it multiple times, but regardless of how many times people watched, the sentiment was the same: May 12 can't get here soon enough.
Here's what IGN's top Zelda fans thought of the final trailer for Tears of the Kingdom.

I thought the final pre-release Tears of the Kingdom trailer was unbelievable in both its effectiveness in building my hype levels to the breaking point, while also leaving me pondering the multitude of questions I still have. We saw more than we'd ever seen before, and every second was thrilling and exciting but we still have no idea how it all fits together.
And yet, that makes it even more exciting for me. It was a master class in how to show off a game in a satisfying way that doesn't spoil it or give too much away. I want more, dammit, but I also feel completely content with what we were shown. I've watched it more than once and every time I notice something else I didn't before. Tears of the Kingdom is my most anticipated video game, ever, and the final trailer has effectively made me even more excited. I can't wait to get lost in its world, delaying Link's quest to save Hyrule because I'm climbing a cliff I thought looked interesting, or spotted a structure in the distance while riding toward a story mission and decided to check that out instead.
