Nintendo has released a new teaser for its upcoming "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild" game, showing how Link uses the bow and arrow to the maximum.
In the new video footage uploaded by Nintendo Europe, the breath-taking landscape and graphics design for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild" is also showcased, along with the combat gameplay for its main protagonist. In the video, main character Link is seen fighting monsters with a combination of ranged and close-combat moves. However, of note are the arrows that Link is using, as the video showcases that different element-themed arrows like fire and ice can be used, along with conventional weapon tips and bomb ones.
Meanwhile, aside from fighting enemies in long range, it is also revealed that the bow and arrows can also be used to interact with objects. In the sequence, Link is also seen targeting a previously-inaccessible bridge with the bow, cutting the ropes that are holding the bridge out of reach with conventional arrow tips.
Though it is not seen in the game, it is also confirmed that although Link can use the bow and arrow to great effect, the location and weather will also have an effect on their use. According to iDigitalTimes, the demo seen at the E3 2016 revealed that wind and the environment are also factors in the gameplay, since strong winds can knock Link's arrows off their trajectories. Launch angles will also play a part on how and when to shoot an arrow.
Nintendo has yet to come out with a specific release date for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild," though it is expected that the game will be out some time next year. However, the title is confirmed to be a multi-platform release, as it will be launched on both the Wii-U and the upcoming Nintendo NX system.
