[E3 2016] Breath of the Wild is the new huge Legend of Zelda adventure [Trailer]

We have a name! During their E3 2016 livestream, Nintendo finally revealed the new Legend of Zelda, coming in 2017 to Wii U and NX. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the stunning new game in the series, and its name hints at the bigger things in store for Link.

The focus of the game is exploring the world, explained Nintendo of America’s President Reggie Fils-Aime. With a huge and seamless environment, the developers chose to let Link experience Hyrule like never before.

The trailer depicts Link walking and horseback riding around the giant world, across grassy plains and snowy mountains, and even climbing up the sides of structures. The sheer size suggests that this world is alive and breathing, further lending the title a string meaning. As Link traverses it, he comes across temples and caves that are opened with magic and platforms that raise out of water.

Hyrule is teaming with life, too. We see Link fighting massive rock monsters and hunting elk-like creatures with his bow and arrow. He battles against moblins with a spear, and fights off a giant spider-like creature (which we saw two years ago in early teasers). The trailer also shows Link wearing different armor and outfits.

There will be more of Wild revealed throughout the day an week, with hopefully more about the plot and characters.
