The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launches on May 12th, 2023 at midnight ET, and GameStop is hosting events at stores around Canada.
Those who attend the opening at the GameStop at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto are in for an extra surprise: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan will be attending to cut the ribbon at midnight.
Ramakrishnan is a Canadian actress best known for playing Devi Vishwakumar in Netflix’s Never Have I Ever and Priya Mangal in Pixar’s Turning Red. Nintendo also calls her “one of the biggest fans of The Legend of Zelda series.”
