The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Release: March
Available: Switch, Wii U
The latest entry in the Zelda series might be one of the most anticipated games of the series history, if not Nintendo’s entire catalog. BotW has suffered multiple delays, to the point where it has basically outgrown the console it was designed for. Even so, BotW looks to be one of the most ambitious titles Nintendo has tried to put out, at least in terms of taking inspiration from other games. Turning Hyrule into a gigantic map where Link must not only explore to find equipment, but to discover the story is a bold move; both as a return to basics for the series and on a scale not intended in Nintendo’s canon this way. BotW also promises to be the first real test of Nintendo’s new console, the Switch. Can it handle the scale better than the Wii U? Will it be a better experience because we can take it with us, or feel like too much? I’m glad we won’t have to wait much longer for answers.
