Nintendo cancels its livestream event in the UK before revealing the latest 'Legend of Zelda' video game's unfortunate title: 'Tears of the Kingdom'

• Nintendo canceled its livestream event Tuesday in the UK out of respect for the national period of mourning.
• It posted the update to its Youtube channel where it announced a new "Legend of Zelda" installment.

Nintendo UK canceled Tuesday's Nintendo Direct live stream out of respect for the period of national mourning in the wake of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

In place of the live event, Nintendo posted the update to their YouTube channel at 4:00 p.m. local time, in which it revealed the unfortunate name of the latest "Legend of Zelda" video game: "Tears of the Kingdom."

The trailer for the latest "Zelda" installment came at the close of the 45-minute video update after a long string of new releases expected from Nintendo in the coming year.

The "Zelda" preview featured cryptic closeups of a temple paired with dark lighting and spooky music.

Then, viewers see Link, the longtime main character of "The Legend of Zelda," opening large double doors before running and diving head-first off a cliff. The trailer continues with snippets of Link embarking on his adventure: scaling mountains and flying through the skies.

Little else was revealed of the upcoming game other than its name and release date: May 12, 2023.

According to Nintendo, the new game is a sequel to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."

Fans were thrilled to hear the news, with a few joking they'd take time off work for the release date.

Others, upon hearing the name, suggested the title was linked to Nintendo's decision to hold off the live stream.
