Just a week ago we were talking about what we wanted from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Nintendo as a whole at this year’s E3. And now… it’s over! With everything so fresh, it’s a good time to talk about it all.

There’s no question that Zelda: Breath of the Wild was the highlight at E3. Nintendo kicked off the show with a trailer, followed by hours of coverage on the Treehouse stream. The game was a very hot commodity at E3. Even though Nintendo’s entire booth was dedicated to Breath of the Wild, that wasn’t enough to prevent massive lines.

Aside from Breath of the Wild, there was quite a bit more to Nintendo’s E3 than we would have thought a few weeks ago. A brand new 3DS action-RPG, Ever Oasis, was announced. We also heard about new amiibo, Mario Party: Star Rush, BoxBoxBoy! in the west, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix even had a stealth launch on the North American 3DS eShop. There were also release dates and coverage of games like Paper Mario: Color Splash and Dragon Quest VII.

With everything that happened at E3, what’s your reaction? What do you think of Zelda: Breath of the Wild thus far? If you have any thoughts about Nintendo at E3, be sure to tell us in the comments below!

During the weekend, Gamekult published an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto (and Nintendo’s Bill Trinen) about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The discussion was in French, but we have a complete English translation. Massive thanks goes out to LuigiBlood and Cynthia Elil for helping us out on this.

Miyamoto touched on topics like the role of technology in the game and his involvement in the project. He also touched on Eiji Aonuma’s recent words about being able to quickly reach the end of the game.

Head past the break for the fully translated interview.
