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 pick up the new Friends to the End expansion for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. Well, if you’re playing on Switch that is. The Wii U version seems to be experiencing a small delay.
