Some exclusive Shrines were shown from Zelda: Breath of the Wild to close out the first day of Nintendo’s Treehouse stream. Check out the full recording below.
Two new rewards have been added to My Nintendo, and both are Zelda-themed. You can now pick up a Link 3DS theme as well as the “bow & arrows” item for Miitomo.
The new theme will set you back 200 Platinum Points. For the Miitomo item, you’ll need to fork over 50 Platinum Points.
Eiji Aonuma stopped by the Treehouse stream to show off exclusive Zelda: Breath of the Wild gameplay outside the Plateau (watch the last few minutes in particular!). Here’s the recording:
The three free Zelda items in Miitomo are out now. The lineup includes the 8-bit Link tee, Link’s new hair wig, and Link’s wig.
The first actual gameplay for Zelda: Breath of the Wild debuted during Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2016 live stream. Check out a recording of the footage below (part 9).
As the Zelda: Breath of the Wild begins, players can hear a disembodied voice telling Link to wake up and open his eyes. That won’t be the only voice work you’ll hear in the game. Game Informer reports from series Eiji Aonuma that there will be more included, but he didn’t say if Breath of the Wild is fully voiced. He did, however, confirm that Link will remain silent.
