Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild trailer



I see Zelda will continue the tradition it set in 1986 in that the franchise continues to be the only reason I spend a dollar on any Nintendo system.

Sad to see the text go away in favor of the more common voice acting. I swear if Link utters one actual word, I will stop playing at that moment.

The game looks great and I have always loved the Zelda series but I cannot bring myself to pay 300 dollars for this console. It lacks 3rd party games which means you'll be playing the same mario/yoshi crap, no Smash Bro's has been annouced and the controller design of Nintendo console's has been awful since the Wii.

Just reading some articles today and the critics are really slamming Nintendo about the price. I agree that it should have been at the most $250 because you still have to buy add-ons.

Zelda have always been my favorite games from Nintendo. That being said, I'll probably be one of those that buys the Switch for my son and I just to play Zelda!

I suspect most people do this.

And I agree, I was expecting something closer to the $200-$250 range.

Yup and they now also require you to buy an online membership like PS and MS. Zelda also has been one of my all time favorite games in general but not having kids would mean the console would collect dust as I REFUSE to sell it to crooks like gamestop.

Personally, my 3DS lets me play plenty of games for now haha.

pre orders already sold out in my area.
If Zelda wasen't a launch title, would it have been as successful?

Has there been any info on other capabilities of the system? LTE? Web Browser?

I really wish they had made it with Android so it could be a full fledged tablet as well as a console.

Would be nice if this were ported to PC. I bought the wii for the zelda games and havent touched it since I played them. I won't buy another nintendo system ever again as they are not worth it. So until this becomes a Rom I guess I wont play it

I feel like most people do this because I did the exact same thing.

+1

Never purchased a Nintendo system (bar the GB Color), and do not intend to. They've been stepping on their own feet for years. A handheld that costs has much as a current gen console...come on. If they drop their exclusivity bullshit and release it for PC, I would definitely give it a shot.

I bought it off Amazon for 20% off for the Wii U. Not ready to get the Switch. Maybe if there is a BF bundle deal. Zelda is the only game I would want for it until the holidays. Also agree it should have been around $250 for the console. Need to finish up Skyward Sword before I start playing Breath of the Wild.

It's gotten pretty much perfect scores across the board. Metro even went as far to say this:

won't be available on launch day. No internet as of yet but nothing is set in stone. I suspect it will come via patch in the later months.

They did mention the 1080p port to tv does have frame drops in scenes that have a lot of texture. Also doesn't look as good blown up than the 720p tablet.

I don't care for reviews this is a failure to me. I feel like the Nvidia Shield is a better buy.

I see "6.7 If we had to score it now..." on IGN's review in progress.

They said they will have the final review after launch.
