Aonuma says Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t feature HD Rumble
Posted on 8 years ago by Fernando in News, Switch, Wii U | 82 Comments
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma is giving a lot of information about Breath of the Wild lately. In an interview with French site Gameblog, Aonuma was able to clear up some uncertainty surrounding HD Rumble.
Even though there has been some speculation about the new game including this feature, Aonuma confirms that HD Rumble won’t be supported. His words, roughly translated, are as follows:
“Of course, if the game had been created exclusively for the Switch, we could benefit from the unique capabilities of the machine, including HD Rumble. It is quite extraordinary, for example, you can try to guess how many balls are hidden in the controller … That’s something I would have liked to use.”
In the same interview, Aonuma reconfirms that both versions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Switch and Wii U – will offer the same exact gameplay experience.

Spoilerific Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide seemingly pulled from Amazon
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Wii U | 2 Comments
A couple of days ago, a listing for Piggyback’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide appeared on Amazon UK – not really a remarkable occurrence by itself, if not for the fact that the description of the guide revealed quite a bit about the game, including the total number of shrines. It seems like Nintendo caught wind of this, as the listing for the guide has now disappeared from Amazon UK, resulting in a 404 error. A search turns up nothing either.
Strategy guides accidentally revealing details from a game is nothing new, though most of the time the revealing text is just edited or deleted. It’s definitely unusual for the entire listing to be (temporarily) deleted. It remains to be seen how Amazon UK will handle pre-orders for the guide while it was still available.

First 4 Figures’ new Link figure coming on March 3
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 28 Comments
Update: Despite Best Buy’s original listing, the figure is actually created by First 4 Figures. The listing (as well as our post) has now been updated to reflect this. Best Buy’s page also now shows a release date of early March rather than March 20.
Original: Dark Horse will soon be coming out with a special Link figurine that was created based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s 11 inches high, and features a sculpted base.
The figurine won’t be ready for Breath of the Wild’s launch, though it won’t be too long before it’s out. Best Buy, which is taking pre-orders, has it down for March 20.
We’ve included a few photos of the figure below.
