Nintendo has revealed the second official trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom during today's Nintendo Direct, giving us a peek at Link's next adventure across Hyrule. Judging from this glimpse of gameplay, it looks like good news for anyone who loved its predecessor Breath of the Wild — which is pretty much everyone who played it.

Notably, the Tears of the Kingdom trailer includes the floating sky-islands that players can glide between in a new flying vehicle, showcasing expanded aerial gameplay when compared to Breath of the Wild.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom arrives May 12 on Nintendo Switch.
