Loyal fans of the Zelda franchise have been in a lot of euphoria and frenzy as the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer seemingly teased quick glimpses of what gamers can expect from the soon-to-be-released "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."

Zelda Informer listed down some noticeable features for the upcoming Zelda game. First, Bokoblins engaging in a mounted combat would be a new angle added to "Breath of the Wild". If it is a factual clip of a new battle style in "Legend of Zelda," this would definitely be a first for the game.

Another noteworthy point that was seen in the trailer is the subdued music at the start of the clip. It sounds like a slowed-down version of the original "Legend of Zelda" theme. One can assume then that the track played could be either the game's music in development or can already be the finished theme for the newest installment.

Lastly, a scene in the trailer shows Link dropping a bomb arrow on a giant enemy, which can be likened to a few creatures in the game. It could be a huge Moblin-like boss that can be expected as an arc in the storyline. Another speculation is that it might be related to an enlarged Bokoblin or a Hinox. Either way, the monster appears to have a necklace, which could pose a possibility that enemies can now equip items to repel some of Link's skill, which will add difficulty to the game.

As if that wasn't enough to intoxicate fans in excitement, some Redditors found a possible leak of information regarding the release date of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." The source says the game may be launched on March 4, 2017, almost around the same time as the expected Nintendo Switch launch.

Nintendo has been keeping mum about the details of both the game and the handheld/console hybrid. Fans will have to wait until an official announcement is made.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is expected to be released for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U platforms in 2017.
