Nintendo is still going strong with their weekly Breath of the Wild item distribution. In order to get the free items, of course, you need to be subscribed to the official news channel. If you’re subscribed, you should start getting friendly messages from Fujibayashi, the director of the game.
This week, Mr. Fujibayashi’s gift includes all the ingredients to make a mighty salt-grilled crab. These are as follows: Razorclaw Crab, Mighty Porgy, Mighty Bananas, and Rock Salt. Just start the game from the notification launch button in order to get all this.
The director leaves us with a set of instructions: “Cook these ingredients together for the powerful dish.”

Link’s Hideaway claims to have obtained information about a new bundle for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

If the listing is accurate, this new bundle will cost $59.99.
