Nintendo will release "The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" in 2017, and it will roll out on both the Wii-U and the upcoming Nintendo NX. During this year's E3, Nintendo allowed some fans to play through a demo, and now, rumors have surfaced about some of the game's features and timeline.

The popular YouTube channel, GameOver Jesse, showed that the Shrine of Resurrection has walls filled with what appears to be constellations glowing in orange in one of their newest videos. However, the video points out that the wall is not a star map but one which showcases the locations of the shrines in the explorable world.

It is pointed out that the shrines players can explore all have an orange glow, but once they have been discovered, the glow turns blue. The video postulates that dots in the Shrine of Resurrection shows the players shrines which are already discovered and those that are yet to be reached.

The report also points out that the Koroks, the descendants of the Kokiri race from "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," will serve as this game's collectible. Each time a Korok is discovered, the game would say there are others hidden around the world.

It is speculated that the player will be given a reward once a certain number have been found. This would make them similar to the Maiamai in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds" or the Golden Skulltula in "Ocarina of Time."

Lastly, the video also indicates that the Guardians scattered across Hyrule seem to have the same orange glow that Calamity Ganon has. This hints that although they were made by the benevolent Shieks, they might have been corrupted by Ganon during the war that destroyed the world.

Does the Church of England need to re-think its messaging?

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
