The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has become even more legendary following the Nintendo Switch update, which lets players stream their gaming session directly.

The Twitter account for Nintendo Switch has recently seen a surge in the amount of "Breath of the Wild" videos, which can be seen in the Twitter page's videos tab. Players have been sharing their most charming, saddest, funniest, and most amazing in-game moments for throughout the game thanks to the simplicity of the built-in streaming service from Switch.

Kotaku Australia suggests that this streaming service might even bolster the sales of the Nintendo Switch even more. The handheld console, however, did not seem to need the help of the streaming service to become the most sought-after console in the market right now. In fact, the Switch has become the top-selling console in the U.S. for the month of September, with "Breath of the Wild" being the 10th best selling game for the said month despite being more than six months old.

With the help of the streaming service, which basically acts as a free advertising tool for Nintendo at its partner developers, "Breath of the Wild" and other games might even gain more popularity. Most of the "Breath of the Wild" streaming posts have also gone viral in the gaming community, showcasing the diverse and awe-inspiring experiences to be had in the open-world game.

One of the most popular videos about "Breath of the Wild" being posted right now is how players deal with the in-game's disguised members of the Yiga Clan. Many of the players do so in hilarious ways, such as having a conversation with them only to kill them immediately after the exchange.

It is worth noting that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was released back in March 2017 and is one of the crowning achievements of the franchise since it is a fully 3D open-world rendition of the lore and game world. Some critics even went as far as to consider the game the best-designed ever. With the introduction of the simplified streaming service for the Switch, "Breath of the Wild" is expected to have even more prominence in the gaming world.
