Game Informer has revealed that its cover story for the March 2017 issue is dedicated to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This is worth sharing if only for the beautiful art alone.

Game Informer says it “experienced more of the game than anyone outside of Nintendo, playing through a dungeon in its entirety, exploring the sprawling open world of Hyrule for hours, discovering Shrines, appreciating the wildlife, and fighting surprisingly powerful monsters (including the dungeon boss, Wind Blight Ganon, and a Guardian).” The magazine also comes with an interview featuring Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and Shigeru Miyamoto.

At the end of last week, Monolith Soft’s Yasuyuki Honne posted the above image on his Twitter page. He said that it’s from a “wrap up party for certain game at certain hotel in Kyoto.” Honne also mentioned how he’s glad / relieved that it’s finished.

That image is likely from the Zelda: Breath of the Wild wrap up party. We know that Monolith Soft helped out with the title, and it’s just a few weeks away from launch.

It also looks like Shigeru Miyamoto was in attendance, and he was standing next to someone wearing a Link-esque hat…

One of settings found in Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s options menu is for the HUD mode. We now know that it can be switched between “Normal” and “Pro”.

YouTuber Gehab managed to grab a few seconds of off-screen footage showing the Pro mode in action. It disables some elements such as the mini-map and temperature meter, leaving you with just hearts on the screen. There might be times when players may find that the mode comes in handy, so it’s a nice little option.
