Players can go straight to the final boss in Breath of the Wild
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News, Switch, Wii U | 54 Comments
Seems that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be truly open to players. According to Eiji Aonuma, in an interview with Polygon, players can skip the story and even go straight to the final boss if they go the right way.
“Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles. Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that’s an option totally up to the user […] Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else — there’s two possibilities. Either they’re a really good gamer, or they could be somebody that’s a little bit crazy. But it’s not impossible. I created the game like that.”
Though Aonuma suggested that this was not the best or natural way to play, he also suggested the game would be good for players to race each other in.

Nintendo kicked off its presence at the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles this morning with the first in-depth look at gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon games. Nintendo Treehouse: Live dedicated the rest of its schedule for the day to showcasing more content from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
