Today's Nintendo Direct gave fans another look at Link's upcoming outing in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Breaking with the recent tradition of multiple delay sets, Nintendo still plans to launch the title on May 12.

The trailer for Nintendo's highly anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild has given fans a glimpse of the game's antagonist - or at least his voice. Perirenal series antagonist Ganondorf is widely speculated to be the title villain, but Nintendo has yet to confirm this.

Plus, Link gets a whole new set of vehicles to ride through Hyrule, including a hot air balloon, car, and hoverboard that would make Marty McFly jealous.

Breath of the Wild was considered a major breath of fresh air for the "Zelda formula". While BotW largely avoided the classic puzzle-filled dungeons that were the centerpieces of previous entries. Instead, the world itself was the puzzle to be solved. Tears of the Kingdom will likely follow in its predecessor's footsteps by emphasizing combat more than dungeon-like puzzle solving.
