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.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 12 Comments
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.
Rumor: Eurogamer, Laura Kate Dale also say Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t be at Switch’s launch
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 82 Comments
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.”
Rumor: Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t be releasing in March
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Switch, Wii U | 203 Comments
Many have hoped – and some have assumed – that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would be out right alongside Switch next March. Unfortunately, that may not be the case.
Emily Rogers, who has a fairly solid track record with Switch rumors, writes in a new blog post today that the new Zelda title won’t be ready for March. Rogers heard in September “that the localization for the game was becoming more work than anyone had anticipated” due to “all of the game’s text, NPCs, quests, etc.” She then received word recently that the localization was still not going as smoothly Nintendo had hoped, with one source stating that it’s very ambitious.
A look at Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s new print ad in Famitsu

Famitsu published a special issue today in celebration of the Nintendo Classic Mini: Famicom. On the back, an ad for Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be found. We don’t usually make mention of print ads, but we’re making one exception here.
The ad continues to show how Nintendo is promoting Breath of the Wild’s ties to the original Zelda. The text states, “Once more to Hyrule”. This also appears to be the first time that the Switch logo is included in an ad.
