Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 is such an event that no one related to the gaming industry wants to miss out on. From developers to publishers of games and related hardware gather at the event to showcase their latest and upcoming projects. Given the marketing opportunities the event garners, big players of the industry make highly anticipated releases.
This year’s E3 was no different, while Sony took to the stage in revealing new game trailers, Microsoft revealed their upgraded version of Xbox. Now, Nintendo has been a company famed for their Zelda Games and while they had already slashed the rumours about any revelations of their upcoming console called NX at E3, it was almost a given fact that they will be revealing their new Zelda Game.
To be fair, from the looks of it, Nintendo did not disappoint us at all. During their Tree House Live event, Nintendo announced their upcoming Zelda title named, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Talking to GameSpot, series producer, Eiji Aonuma explained that the game with be compatible with both Wii U and NX version (which is set to be brought out some time in 2017) and there would be no differences with the player experience.
The company also showed a brief portion of the gameplay and allowed enthusiasts to indulge in it firsthand. The protagonist Link, seems to wake up from 100 years of slumber to find the once glorious Hyrule and has been taken over by the forces of nature: trees, vines and all things wild. The world looks huge and engrossed in wilderness which the players would be able to explore, apart from this it seems the game added a few new and revamped features to the character, like climbing cliffs and picking up weapons.
The game looks visually stunning and for sure, Zelda enthusiasts would be more eager than ever to get their hands on the game which is slated to release sometime in 2017.
