Your support makes all the difference.Nintendo has released a trailer for the new Legend of Zelda game to preview its 2017 release on Wii U and NX. Breath of the Wild was announced on Tuesday at the company’s E3 2016 livestream in a trailer that shows Link keeping busy on his new large, open, vivid world.
Producer Eiki Aonuma said that he designed the game to “rethink the conventions of Zelda,” Kotaku reports.
“Open your eyes,” says a woman, who's probably Princess Zelda, beginning the trailer that shows off the new world Link inhabits. He's eventually shown paragliding off an enormous cliff, riding a horse, climbing the side of castle, chopping down trees, hunting a boar, cooking food and using new tools. There are also appearances of new enemies: a growing rock monster, some boar-looking creatures and an entity of dark matter forming in the sky.
