Aonuma on BotW reaction and last boss difficulty, next Zelda will use HD Rumble but is a long way off, more

At Japan Expo this week, GameReactor caught up with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma. The discussion included talk about Breath of the Wild and Zelda in general.
Regarding Breath of the Wild, Aonuma reflected on the game’s reaction and those who say that the final boss was too easy. He also spoke in (very) vague terms about the next main Zelda – wanting to include HD Rumble, but it’s a long way off. Also, Aonuma basically said that Link is ambidextrous.
We’ve included what we feel are the more notable comments from Aonuma below. The full interview is on GameReactor here.

At the Zelda Masterclass panel at Japan Expo in Paris, producer Eiji Aonuma revealed that Link is still the playable character in the upcoming Champions’ Ballad DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However, while Zelda or the Champions might not be playable, you will still learn more about them while playing the DLC. A brief in-development gameplay clip of the DLC was released, which you can check out below:

Zelda: Breath of the Wild player clips through wall, stumbles into strange area
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 7 Comments
While playing through the Trial of the Sword challenge featured in Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s new DLC, Sharkystheshotty stumbled into a bizarre area. He managed to enter this strange section of the world by clipping through a wall.
As for how he did it, Sharkystheshotty said the following:
“Was on trial three on the Medium trials and flew up near the chest on the floating platform and just went through a wall. Couldn’t get back in.. so I didn’t make it.
I don’t really remember exactly where but I flew up with my glider on trial 3 on the Medium trials near where the floating chest was on the wall by the corner. Best I can do.”
We’re not really sure where Sharkystheshotty ended up. It could be a test area, unused material, or something else entirely. Regardless, it’s certainly an odd sight to behold.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild glitch lets you use the Camera Rune with free movement
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 2 Comments
The Camera Rune in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is undoubtedly a useful feature. Players have used it to take all sorts of pictures and selfies with Link. With a new glitch though, the possibilities have expanded.
By following the steps below, you can move around freely while using the Camera Rune, ultimately allowing for infinite poses:
1. Hold Shield (ZL)
2. Camera + Crouch (L + LS)
3. Side Jump (Right + X)
*Hold ZL the whole process
YouTube user Mety333 shows off the glitch in the following video:
It’s true that you can take screenshots at any time on Switch. However, there are some angles and photos that you just can’t really take during normal gameplay, especially with the zoom function. And if nothing else, being able to play while the Camera Rune is going can lead to some interesting results.

The first round of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s DLC released today. Among the various features and items introduced is a new Tingle costume. If you approach the villagers in one of the game’s towns, they’ll almost be sent into a panic, and they’ll watch your every move.
You can see Link interacting with villagers in his new Tingle outfit below. Have to admit that it gave me a good chuckle.
