The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Might Have Teased How Many Dungeons It Has
The sequel to Breath of the Wild was officially unveiled during yesterday's Nintendo Direct, in a brief but lush game announcement trailer.

It wouldn't be too beyond the realm of logic associated with Zelda games, and since modern games tend to have more of most things, seven dungeons is an increase on the six temples
