Nintendo caps off its latest Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom presentation by revealing a brand-new Switch OLED console based on the game.

As previously stated, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED will launch on April 28. Since Nintendo hasn't revealed the price of the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED console, the system itself has not been up for pre-order just yet.

Or, as in Aonuma’s other example, fuse a long stick with a much longer pitchfork to create a weapon that lets you poke enemy’s from a great distance away. After exploring more of the Sky Island, Aonuma came up to a boulder sitting on a cliffside. Aonuma took that MacGyver’d hammer and bludgeoned two other constructs with it, noting that this new weapon had “much better durability.” That’s good. Similar in aesthetic to the guardians from BotW, Aonuma battled the construct with a branch Link just picked up. Once done with the fight, Aonuma showed another of Link’s abilities.

As much as I enjoy The Legend of Zelda, it’s never really been a series that I get out of bed for.

If you haven’t watched it yet, Nintendo released a [video of ten minutes of gameplay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6qna-ZCbxA) today, showing Link with several new abilities to manipulate the world around him to create new tools, structures and weapons. This effectively makes the game $50 if you pick from most of the company’s first party titles or one of the pricier third party efforts.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives Link a new power: Ultrahand. It's a callback to the classic Nintendo toy of (almost) the same name.

That game was a downloadable WiiWare title that was exclusive to Club Nintendo members; players used the Ultra Hand to grab pieces of meat cooking on a barbecue grill. The original Ultra Hand was developed by the late Gunpei Yokoi, the creator behind Nintendo’s Game & Watch, the inventor of the cross-shaped D-pad seen on Nintendo gamepads, and the original designer of the Game Boy. Nintendo’s WarioWare series has featured multiple Ultra Hand-inspired microgames, and the device has made non-playable cameos in Nintendo even released a dedicated Ultra Hand video game in 2010, Grill-Off with Ultra Hand! Part prank tool, part skill toy, the novelty device was manufactured by Nintendo for at least seven years. While the Ultrahand ability in Tears of the Kingdom will let Link pick up and move far away objects, Nintendo’s nearly 60-year-old Ultra Hand toy, well, did the exact same thing.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will encourage the emergent gameplay that made Breath of the Wild such a joy.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will give Link the power to fuse items together. Fans already want to combine items to create a meat arrow.

“I’m gonna fuse a meat arrow in Tears of the Kingdom, and NOBODY CAN STOP ME!” [one person said](https://twitter.com/jet_evan/status/1640724559786815488). [10 minutes of gameplay](https://www.polygon.com/zelda/23659874/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-totk-new-trailer-analysis-new-abilities) from [The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom](https://www.polygon.com/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-guide) on Tuesday. It was almost as if Aonuma was teasing us with the tantalizing prospect of combining a big hunk of raw meat and an arrow. We don’t yet know what a meat arrow would do, but fans are speculating on its possible powers. As Aonuma scrolled through the menu to show the fusing options, he passed over a piece of raw meat. The game, which introduces [even more immersive sim elements than Breath of the Wild](https://www.polygon.com/23659972/legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-new-gameplay-analysis-immersive-sim), will allow players to fuse items together to make new ones.

Nintendo has detailed several new intriguing gameplay mechanics in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as well as new hardware.

He used the ability to construct a raft out of some big logs, pick them up as a group, and drop them in water. However, enemies can also be equipped with fused weapons, and will also be able to take advantage of their unique traits. Link fights the construct with a tree branch and it breaks, showing that the controversial weapon degradation from Breath of the Wild exists in the sequel. While exploring one of the Sky Islands, Link encounters a new enemy for Tears of the Kingdom, called a Construct. In a final Fuse example, Aonuma fused a special mushroom to Link’s shield. Aonuma then demonstrates one of Link’s new abilities, Recall, and upon using Recall on the meteor, it rewinds the trajectory of the meteor and returns it the sky, with Link in tow.

Something is corrupting the ocean, and as you bring in your catches, improve your boat and explore further, you are drawn into a compelling and sparsely-written horror-tinged mystery story. (Fun fact: Ultrahand, the name of Link’s object-manipulating power in Tears of the Kingdom, is a reference to [this 1960s Nintendo grabber toy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Hand) designed by Gunpei Yokoi, who would later invent the Game Boy.) He can even swim through rock, diving into the ceiling of an underground cave in order to appear at the top of a hill. Some fans have expressed disappointment that Tears of the Kingdom looks so similar to its predecessor; the Switch’s tech wasn’t cutting-edge even in 2017, and is now really showing its age, especially when you see games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X now. Shipwrecked on the rocks near a small fishing town, you are given a run-down boat, sent out to catch cod, mackerel and squid, and warned to be back before dark. Aonuma showed Link tracking down a piece of fallen rock on the surface, then using a time-reversing power to ride it back up to the island above.

And with it arrived The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which casually redrew the blueprint of open-world games, replacing repetitive missions and box-ticking busywork with a genuine sense of wonder and discovery. In Tears of the Kingdom, floating islands hover above Hyrule’s familiar terrain, and you can move freely between the sky-kingdom above and the grassland, rivers and forests below.

Breath of the Wild taunted players by not letting them pet dogs, so The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom should fix that while adding cats.

Only time will tell if more cute and cuddly creatures are added to Tears of the Kingdom, and if Link will finally be able to pet them.

The best games have a balance between the dark moments and the light, and that's where Twilight Princess gets it right. This feature was forgotten about after Skyward Sword, but as Tears of the Kingdom appears to be bringing back monsters, mechanics, and items from the past, being able to pet and pick up cute animals should make a comeback too.

Here's where to buy Zelda "Tears of the Kingdom" Nintendo Switch OLED limited edition console, as the sequel to "Breath of the Wild".

What is The Legend of Zelda: The Tears of the Kingdom about? It’s like Nintendo made its own Elden Ring by way of Zelda, and I have a feeling we’re all going to happily give up a good chunk of our spring and summer figuring out all the neat new things we can do.” This game looks like it’s combining Breath of the Wild’s openness with the infinite possibilities of Tears of the Kingdom’s new abilities. The Tears of the Kingdom is a direct follow-up to the critically acclaimed Breath of the Wild on March 3, 2017. We don’t know for sure yet, but if the 10-minute-long video presentation is anything to go by, this is going to be a very good game indeed.
