The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Launches March 3rd on Wii U and Switch
During the Nintendo Switch presentation in Tokyo today, Nintendo revealed that the much anticipated Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, will launch March 3rd, 2017 for the Nintendo Switch. Which is, funnily enough, the release date of the console! Nintendo AUNZ took to Twitter afterwards to confirm this date for Australia as well, and also confirmed that the Wii U version will be launching the same day.

The game will be compatible with the Wolf Link amiibo, which summons a wolf companion for you, as well as the Zelda 30th Anniversary amiibo which reward you with various different items. The game will also feature its own line of amiibo, including the previously announced Link and Guardian amiibo, but a press release has also let slip that there’ll be Zelda and Bokoblin amiibo in this line-up as well. No images of those yet, we’ll keep you posted. We’ve got images of both of these new amiibo now:
You can check out the game’s impressive new trailer below, which gives us some glimpses of the game’s story and the gorgeous scenery:
