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.


It’s time for the latest Famitsu‘s most wanted games chart. The Switch version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild makes its first appearance.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between January 19 and January 25.

Many French interviews with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma were published last week about Breath of the Wild. We already translated the Gamekult discussion in full, but there was just one other interview that we wanted to cover more deeply.

Thanks to LuigiBlood and Kyrio, we now have a full translation of Le Monde’s interview. We thought it was pretty interesting since Aonuma talked about dungeons / shrines, Skyrim influences, and more.

You can read the entire interview below.

GameStop is offering a pre-order bonus for Zelda: Breath of the Wild. If you reserve the game, you’ll be able to receive an exclusive poster.

The offer works for both versions – Switch and Wii U. Additionally, you can pre-order the game either in-store online. Those going with the latter option will need to print their order confirmation page and bring it to their local store. GameStop advises calling your local store ahead of time to ensure that the poster is available.

Yet another Zelda: Breath of the Wild interview has surfaced with Shigeru Miyamoto and series producer Eiji Aonuma. YouTube ZackScottGames was able to interview both developers following the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 last month. There’s lots of talk about Link (including what he’s like in Breath of the Wild and in general), climbing and freedom, and more. View the full interview below.
