Miyamoto and Aonuma on stories in games, narrative’s role in Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos, Wii U | 7 Comments
Update (2/16): Embed version is below:
Original (2/15): The next part of Game Informer’s month-long Zelda: Breath of the Wild coverage is now online. Another piece of the magazine’s interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma is shared. For today’s snippet, the two developers talk about storytelling and what we can expect from it in Breath of the Wild. We again get to hear Aonuma tease his “trick” that he used that he had been thinking about for roughly two decades.
The interview can be watched here here. When an embed option is available, we’ll add it in here (probably tomorrow).

Aonuma says you’ll feel a lot of different emotions when playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 95 Comments
Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma answered another fan question about Breath of the Wild today, as shared by Nintendo of France. This time around, he was asked if the game will be more mature than the previous entries given what we’ve seen in the trailers thus far.
Aonuma responded with the following:
“Of course, when you watch the trailer, the game looks very serious. But that’s because we used serious and spectacular scenes in the edit; it’s what holds the viewers’ attention. But as wit every other Zelda, Breath of the Wild will make you feel a lot of different emotions; and as in every Zelda, there will be serious and dramatic moments as well as more amusing parts which I hope will make you laugh. In this game, you’ll be able to both laugh and be moved.”
Big thanks to Kyrio for helping out with the translation.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild guides now up for pre-order on Amazon
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 12 Comments
Update 3 (2/14): The Zelda: Breath of the Wild Collector’s Edition guide is now discounted by $20 on Amazon Canada. The standard one is $13 off.
Update 2 (2/12): On Amazon US, the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide has been discounted by $16 (standard one is $10 off). Amazon Canada discounted the guide by $9 (standard one is about $4 off). If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically get the lower price.
Update: These guides are also up on Amazon Canada.
Original: Amazon is now taking pre-order for the Zelda: Breath of the Wild guides. They can be found here. Amazon has the Collector’s Edition and standard versions.
When the guides were announced awhile back, there were supposed to be three versions. We haven’t heard anything about a third version in recent weeks though, so there may only be just two in the end (collector’s and standard). If a third version does pop up, we’ll let you know.
