Nintendo went all out with its E3 2016 booth and representation of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Believe it or not, the setup actually has a day-night cycle.
Nintendo says that the booth shifts from day to night continuously every 24 minutes. One minute represents an hour, of course. That’s the same cycle from Ocarina of Time and other Zelda games.
Aside from the day-night cycle, the booth features moblins, chirping birds and ambient noises like a thunderstorm and crickets, statues, a theater with a screen that retracts into the ceiling to reveal a secret passageway, and even smell-o-vision for scents such as a musty aroma.
Nintendo talks a bit about its E3 2016 booth

Nintendo’s E3 2016 booth is entirely dedicated to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Those are the only demo stations you’ll find, but the booth itself is decked out with a theme based on the game as well.
Here’s what Charlie Scibetta, senior director of corporate communications at Nintendo, had to say about the booth:
“We just wanted to create an immersive experience in the booth and dedicate everything to the one game by replicating the experience happening in the game. It’s an open-air adventure. You can feel one with nature. You can hear the sound of wind in the booth. We have fans. We have real grass. Everything is to scale. We wanted to go big with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s very much a nature kind of experience.”
