Well, thank goodness that’s over with!<\/p>\n

Since the reveal of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/a> at the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation<\/a>, some fans have been feverishly debating how to pronounce the new title: is it tears (as in crying), or tears (as in ripping)<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Now, this writer had absolutely no doubt about the pronunciation – just ask anyone<\/em> – but Nintendo has now confirmed for definite, just in case you’re still not 100% on the matter. The news comes via Eurogamer<\/a>, and yes, as most of us suspected, the pronunciation is “tears” – as in crying<\/em> tears (much like the tears you’re no doubt shedding having to read yet another article on that ruddy title… grumble…).<\/p>\n

So there we go, end of discussion, move on, thank you very much.<\/p>\n

Oh actually, wait, don’t go yet – we have a whole boatload of other theories that you simply must check out<\/a> if you’re a fan of the Zelda series! These include the likes of time travel, time loops, and the return of everyone’s favourite redhead, Demise. There’s plenty to unpack ahead of the game’s launch on May 12th, 2023, so make sure you join in the fun.<\/p>\n
