Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Master Works

A new Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Works book just arrived in Japan yesterday. It features a ton of art from the game and other goodies as well.

We have a few new pages showing what the book has to offer below:

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Master Works may eventually be released in the west (and it’ll probably take a long while for that to happen). If you’d like to order a Japanese copy, you can do so on Play-Asia here.

While journeying through Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you may encounter dogs. They tend to be found at stables and towns.

Dogs aren’t just there to make areas more lively. You can bond with them, they’ll follow you around, and can lead you someplace special. Unfortunately, you can’t actually pet them.

Splatoon 2 added in the new Walleye Warehouse map last night, a returning stage from the original game. Check out how the map compares in both titles below.

My Nintendo updated today with a bunch of new discounts for European members. Savings are available for Wii U and 3DS titles using Platinum and Gold Points.

Here’s the full roundup:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been updated once again, but only on Wii U. The console’s latest version is 1.4.1.

Nintendo’s patch notes make mention of only one thing: “Various fixes to improve gameplay”. Nothing else has been added or changed beyond this. And again, as far as we know, the update is not available on Switch.

Nintendo has published the latest parts of its interview with Zelda: Breath of the Wild director Hideomaro Fujibayashi and series producer Eiji Aonuma. Once again, the discussion focuses mostly on The Champions’ Ballad DLC. The two talked about how they went about approaching new story content this time around, dungeon design, the new outfits, and more.

You can read the discussion in full below. Nintendo warns of spoilers, but there’s not really anything that’s discussed in terms of the story scenes or sequences specifically. Still, keep that warning in mind before proceeding.

The new Friends to the End expansion for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero was introduced yesterday. Have a look at some footage below.
