The date is not the best for me though. Considering Q1 2017 is absolutely ridiculous and Nier is March 7th. Not happening Zelda. I love ya, but you're waitin.

 

[Obliterator]

I'm really not kidding. That was one of the greatest trailers I've ever seen in my life

 

[MikeDown]

Absolutelky redicoulsous!!!

 

[Ser Booty]

I think I'm going to cry. That was so, mind-blowingly beautiful. Jesus Christ this game.

 

[HYDE]

Best motherfucking Zelda trailer of ALL TIMES

Zero lies detected...insanely good!

 

[tr00per]

Still reeling from that trailer..

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Will the Wii u version be gimped graphically?

 

[BaraSailey]

Excited to finally play this on my WiiU, haha. The game looks amazing

From the PR:

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Prepare for the biggest Legend of Zelda adventure yet, with an open-air style that breaks new boundaries while honoring the origins of the acclaimed series. Explore a world of unprecedented size and discover more than 100 puzzle-filled Shrines of Trials, plus a wide variety of weapons, outfits and gear. Players won’t want to stop playing, and they won’t have to since Nintendo Switch allows them to continue the adventure anywhere, anytime.

The game is compatible with Zelda 30th Anniversary series amiibo, the Wolf Link amiibo (which will be re-issued as a standalone amiibo on Feb. 3) and the new Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild series amiibo. In addition to the previously announced Link (Rider), Link (Archer) and Guardian amiibo, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild series amiibo will also include new Zelda and Bokoblin amiibo. The amiibo in this series carry a suggested retail price of $15.99, except for the massive Guardian amiibo, which has a suggested retail price of $19.99.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will provide players with a landmark Nintendo Switch experience on the system’s launch day in March, and will be available as a standard edition, Special Edition and Master Edition. The Special Edition includes the game, a Nintendo Switch Sheikah Slate Carrying Case, Sheikah Eye Collectible Coin, Relic of Hyrule: Calamity Ganon Tapestry and Weather-Worn Map, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sound Selection CD for a suggested retail price of $99.99.

JESUS CHRIST THAT BOXART IS AWESOME

 

[Godot]

Best Zelda trailer ever

 

[ehead]

I feel the JP VO is better than the English one. The old lady's voice, the King and even Zelda sound better in their Japanese voices. Is it just me?

 

[Caim]

Best trailer I've ever seen.

Agreed!

 

[jetsetmario]

From Nintendo's Facebook

Welp, new desktop background

 

[Rebel Leader]

I never expected a trailer like this from nintendo... much less on zelda

 

[Jade Knight 08]

It's freaking beautiful!!!!!! One hellava trailer i've seen so far!


This might trump 2004 (Twilight Princess) trailer for me though.

 

[ViciousDS]

My WiiU will be ready

 

[KarmaCow]

Same date

Great, I was expecting a delayed release like TP. Now hopefully it doesn't like garbage on the Wii U. D:

 

[TheRealTalker]

I just hope the Wii U version will run as good as the Switch version

same

 

[ffejeromdiks]

English voice acting really took me out of it, it's not bad, but the japanese feels better for Zelda.

Hope Japanese audio is an option.

 

[obijkenobi]

My desire for a Switch is like 95% dependent on what the differences between the versions of this game are.

 

[aeolustl]

Boxart for Switch released at JP website

They also have information about deluxe edition.

 

[ranmafan]

Good to hear it's same date for Wii U. I'm looking forward to getting it for it. Switch version would be nice but I'm going to wait until fire emblem musou and shin megami tensei comes out before getting one, so it's nice that we don't have to wait for the Wii U version

 

[necrosis]

That was the best Zelda trailer of all time. Which makes one of the best Trailers of all time.

offhand i cant think of a better trailer

game looked shit hot

 

[Crossing Eden]

Zelda looks amazing but that VA is goddamn awful.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

Legend of Zelda, the Fog of War.

Looks amazing. Dammit.

Is that smog an aesthetic choice or a limitation of the hardware?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I'm really not kidding. That was one of the greatest trailers I've ever seen in my life

Yup, The best trailer Nintendo has ever put out!

 

[Pancake Mix]

So happy it's on Wii U at the same day, we deserve it for being that loyal.

 

[Struct09]

I can't believe I'll be playing a new Zelda game in just 7 weeks, and it looks so good

 

[Magnus]

wii u release date?

The guys on EZ Allies just said MArch 31. Not sure where they're getting it from.

 

[Realeza]

The date is not the best for me though. Considering Q1 2017 is absolutely ridiculous and Nier is March 7th. Not happening Zelda. I love ya, but you're waitin.

Lmao at comparing Zelda with fucking Nier

 

[Bitch Pudding]

But what about Europe, though?

 

[JustenP88]

Well, at least Zelda looks incredible... Was "1 2 Switch" a play on the number of launch titles?

 

[Tunic]

So happy it is launching the same day for Wii U. Nintendo failed to justify to me any reasoning to replace the Wii U.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

here is the trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw47_q9wbBE

Dub seems pretty solid. I think I prefer this particular trailer in Japanese, but I feel good about playing the whole game in English.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Looks like the best thing I'll play all year.

 

[Not]

Wait so it's confirmed there are no big dungeons? Just shrines?

 

[Fancyarcher]

Game looks incredible. Also voice-acting in an actual main Zelda game, wow.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Damn. $360 for a Zelda game. Might still be worth it, honestly.

 

[AEREC]

They could have been clearer that it was a simultaneous worldwide release date.

I'm so unimpressed with that Switch presentation I'm actually considering the Wii U version of the game for the first time. Really depends how different the two are; if the Wii U game is vastly inferior I'll end up getting Switch.

Wii U has to be better performance wise I would think...it's still more powerful hardware.

 

[shandy706]

Waiting till the Holiday for Switch is going to be tough/suck. I have a Wii U, but I think I'm going to wait for Mario and buy a Switch with Zelda and Mario.

I need to fit in a lot of other games like Horizon and Mass Effect in the coming months.

Edit* ...and that trailer was awesome.

 

[OverturePT]

I'm finishing my work in this nightshift completely in awe, that fucking trailer is amazing. This Zelda is looking to be everything I ever fucking wanted in a Zelda game. Been here since A Link to the Past, this is what me as a kid dreamed of playing. Fuck me.

 

[Riddler]

The guys on EZ Allies just said MArch 31. Not sure where they're getting it from.

He was just reading what was on Amazon and Kyle saying it's wrong

 

[toastyToast]

That was a good ass trailer

 

[Giolon]

That Zelda trailer! Amazing.

 

[MikeDown]

So we have
Gravity Rush 2
Horizon Zero Dawn
Neir Automata
Mass Effect 4
& Zelda


fuck my life.....

 

[captmcblack]

The greatest video game trailer of all time.

Buying this on Switch AND on Wii U day one. Don't give a FUCK.

 

[SweetDonuts]

omgggg it's beautiful

Wii U has to be better performance wise I would think...it's still more powerful hardware.

Is that confirmed? Wii U more powerful than Switch?
