The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
"The history of the royal family of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon, a primal evil that has endured over the ages."
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the most anticipated action-adventure video game of the year. Developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U. It is the 19th main installment in the The Legend of Zelda series and the first original game in the series developed with an HD resolution. The story is set in Hyrule and follows amnesiac protagonist Link, who awakens from a 100-year slumber to a mysterious voice that guides him to defeat Calamity Ganon.
A vast majority of the game will be spent traversing the sprawling Hyrulean landscape, uncovering Shrines (which we'll get to in a minute) and purging the land of evil. That said, the map is 12 times bigger than Twilight Princess and all the footage so far evokes a real sense of openness and adventure.
The title's gameplay and mechanics constitute a departure from the series' conventions, with an open-world environment and an advanced physics engine, as well as the ability to play through the game's dungeons in any order. Announced in 2013, the game was initially planned for release as a Wii U exclusive in 2015. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be out on March 3 2017, Nintendo just announced at its big Switch release show, making it a launch title for the new console.
