No need to hold your breath about another delay for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Series producer Eiji Aonuma has stated that the game is finished, meaning the Switch exclusive should be ready to release May 12 (barring any issue with manufacturing and/or distribution).
Before showing off makeshift weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Aonuma started out by giving an update on where things stand with the game. “First, I have some news,” he said. “Development on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now complete. Thank you very much for waiting.”

Now Playing: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – 10 Minutes Of Gameplay Presentation
Aonuma also revealed how Link can create vehicles in Tears of the Kingdom by using what’s called his Ultrahand. For instance, in the gameplay trailer, the Hyrulian hero combines logs with a fan to make a motorboat to cross a river.
On top of the new gameplay, Nintendo also unveiled a special-edition The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED and Pro Controller. The new system will cost $360 and comes out April 28, while the new controller arrives with the game for $75.
Don’t forget that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will retail for $70 (instead of the usual $60). However, Nintendo says it will be worth its price tag.
