The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a direct sequel to 2017’s Breath of the Wild. Link returns to the kingdom of Hyrule, now joined by floating islands in the skies above. Link’s new abilities allow him to build and construct vehicles and bridges, and fuse weapons and other devices.

Tears of the Kingdom is rated E10+ for fantasy violence and mild suggestive themes.
