Random: Nintendo confirms how to pronounce Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom

Well, thank God, that’s over!

Since the presentation of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at the last Nintendo Direct presentation, some fans have been arguing feverishly about how to pronounce the new title: is it tears (cry) or tears (vomit)?

Well, this writer had absolutely no doubts about the pronunciation – just ask anyone – but Nintendo has now confirmed it definitely, in case you’re still not 100% on the subject. The news comes through Eurogamerand yes, as most of us suspected, the pronunciation of “tears” – as in cry tears (much like the tears you no doubt shed as you read yet another article with that ruddy headline… grumble…).

So, we have finished the discussion, let’s move on, thank you very much.

Oh, actually, wait until you leave – we have a whole bunch of other theories that you just have to check out if you’re a fan of the Zelda series! These include time travel, time loops, and the return of everyone’s favorite red-haired Demiza. There’s a lot to unpack ahead of the game’s launch on May 12, 2023, so be sure to join in on the fun.
