Just a few thoughts on the name:

I'm wondering if there is a triple entendre here. Tears for the sadness that will obviously overtake Hyrule as Zelda is missing and whatever else calamity exists. Tears (as in paper tears) of the original Hyrule as its torn apart. And finally, tiers, as in multiple levels you'll be playing on, from the confirmed ground and sky to the unconfirmed but assumed underground sections.

I also wonder if we'll be collecting tears not just from various dungeons or shrines but from village folk. I could see part of the game doing various quests for and with certain villagers to retrieve their tears. This could mean overcoming personal tragedies or greater societal woes that each of them face.

Whether any of this is true, I'm just excited to see a firm release date. I don't anticipate, barring a global catastrophe, that this game will be delayed again. We are a go for May 12th.

Also, in regards to the TikTok marketing ploy, when I searcher for Zelda Tok and ZeldaTotK it returned Zelda Tic Toc videos. That's possibly a marketing backfire.
