My thoughts on Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I watched Nintendo's E3 yesterday for the new Zelda game, and the first thing I can say is: Breath of the Wild REALLY suits the theme of the game since Link is breathing the wild Hyrulean air as he explores.

But that's not all. From what I watched, it seems that the Sheikah will play a much more bigger role in the game this time around, because Link is given a unique piece of technology known as the Sheikah Slate, which to me looked more like Hyrule's iPhone. The moment I saw that in the game, I KNEW it was going to be worth getting though I might get both versions of the game. One for the Wii U, and one for the NX which comes out next year. However, I haven't decided on that yet, but I AM going to play the NX version of it.

Besides the incredible technology being seen in the game, this new Zelda is being more RPG like since Link will be collecting a lot of new items and gear rather than just starting off in his iconic green tunic. To me, this is also a plus, because it really adds more depth into the exploration part of the game. I like the fact that Link can use various weapons to survive in the wild rather than just using swords, and this time around, he can chop down trees in addition to cutting the grass like he normally does. Another thing I love about this game is that Link will be able to jump at anytime, which will add a bit of a challenge since I am always used to him jumping automatically. Last, but not least, Link will be able to eat food items to restore his Hearts, which also means he can cook now. There is really so much in the game to look at, but I can't really bring it all up. Just the pieces that I found that are really great.

The visuals of the game are beautiful so far, but since the game is still being developed, I think it's safe for me to say that the graphics could use some more polishing.

That's all I have for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
