The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

For the first time ever, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was shown running on Switch during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Here’s the full video, which also shows off Super Mario Run:

Four new Zelda 30th anniversary amiibo are out today. Fans can pick up 8-bit Link, Ocarina of Time Link, and Toon Link/Wind Waker Zelda in a double pack. Nintendo has now revealed how each one functions in Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo says that each amiibo provides random items. Those who are lucky may even receive a treasure chest with a rare item.

Scanning each figure will give you the following:

– 8-bit Link will reward you with a random number of barrels. You might find rupees inside too!
– Ocarina of Time Link will reward you with a random amount of meat.
– Toon Link will reward you with a random amount of fish.
– Wind Waker Zelda will reward you with a random selection of plants.

Other Zelda amiibo will be compatible with Breath of the Wild. When scanning Wolf Link, he’ll become a companion partner. The three figures slated for next year – Link (Archer), Link (Rider), and Guardian – will also work with the game.

Nintendo kicked off The Game Awards 2016 today with a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But just a short while ago, the company debuted a gameplay video with Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff from the Treehouse. Watch it in full below.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was featured during The Game Awards 2016 pre-show as promised. A brand new trailer debuted, and we now have it below.

Even though the trailer wasn’t overly long, there will be plenty to dissect here between the glimpse of towns, new environments, and story beats. More Zelda is coming at The Game Awards’ full show later tonight.

Nintendo has shared more information about what to expect from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at The Game Awards tomorrow.

The “exclusive look” that we previously heard about will actually be during the pre-show. That’ll be held at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET. After that, Nintendo says “even more details” will then be present at The Game Awards itself, which starts a half hour later.

Nintendo posted on Facebook a short while ago:


The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s teaser site is now open. Access the North American page here and the European site here. Both are fairly similar.

It’s going to be awhile before the full site is open. That being said, there’s a decent amount of content already present between the official trailer, brief rundown of the game, and overview of amiibo support.

Geoff Keighley, the well-known games journalist and host of The Game Awards, recently sent out an empty tweet that contained only an image of a symbol from Zelda: Breath of the Wild in it. You can find said tweet below.

That was followed by a tweet from Nintendo of America that now confirms an “exclusive look” at the game. It’s as follows:


The Game Awards will air on December 1st.

We have a ways to go until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is ready to launch, but it’s already been rated in Australia. The listing just went live today.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is rated “M” similar to some of the more recent entries in the series. Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess were both given the same classification.

Yesterday, a report published by Emily Rogers suggested that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild wouldn’t be making Switch’s launch in March. Two additional sources are now backing up that claim.

Rogers originally mentioned that Breath of the Wild’s localization would run through the end of the year. She added that the game would then require about four-to-six months of testing. Today, Eurogamer writes that they’ve been “told of the same schedule, as Nintendo is committed to launching the game in as close to perfect a state as possible after so long in development.”

Separately from Eurogamer, Laura Kate Dale of Let’s Play Video Games wrote on Twitter a few hours ago that “Breath of the Wild missing the Switch launch lines up with info I had heard but not multi sourced. Don’t expect it in March.”
