Tears of the Kingdom’s Time Skip: What We Know
It’s been several years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. After the first game ended, people began to rebuild and repopulate. You can see the impact of these changes in new towns and camps scattered across the once-barren Hyrule. Civilization is blooming again in Hyrule, with Link and Zelda leading these rebuilding efforts.
Though things stayed peaceful for a few years following Breath of the Wild, Calamity Ganon reincarnates in human form. Ganondorf is the human form of this evil force, equipped with formidable dark magic, increased intelligence, and might. His return leads Link and Zelda on another harrowing adventure that even the people and champions of Hyrule join in on.
Link’s return adventure through Hyrule promises its players an unforgettable experience when they return. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available now exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
