With the Legends of Zelda Breath of the Wild trailer reveal at the latest E3 2016 event in Los Angeles, fans have grown more excited for the release of the game.
According to The Verge, the game is set to be unleashed on gamers next year amid delays so that it can be released along with the much anticipated Nintendo NX console in March.
"It's complicated because as we're developing this - obviously development of NX started a while ago — and unfortunately, I'm sorry, but the development of this game took a lot longer than expected. We really felt like we would be able to get it done last year, but there was a lot of struggle with using the physics engine, so that's why it took a long time. Also, when we thought about developing a Zelda game for the NX, it would have to be way further down the life cycle of the system," Shigeru Miyamoto, executive producer explained prior to the E3 event.
The trailer showed Link journeying through natural landscapes like grasslands, canyons, shores and coconut trees, with the use of his glider. This gives the players an idea of the expanse of the game's new open world map.
Link is also given the ability to interact, and tame wild horses as well as climb cliffs and towers. To further maximize the outdoor adventure, Link is also tasked to do activities like cooking, setting fire to grass as well as fighting off opponents.
Based on the early feedback from those who have tried the game demo during the conference, gamers were impressed with the story, and the ability of the characters to respond in a physics based world.
"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild impressed in so many ways that it's tough to properly explain, without going on and on forever. For such a short time with the game, I already have so many things that I want to see, try, or explore. There are mountains to climb, enemies to fight, and a world to save, and the wait till March 2017 just got a whole lot longer," Attack of the Fanboy game reviewer Kyle Hanson said.
