E3 2016: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Announced

Breath of the Wild Brings Voice Acting To Link 

Nintendo revealed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during their live stream at E3 today coming to WiiU and NX next year. This time Link will have a voice actor for the first time in history.

The trailer focuses on Links new abilities including crafting, hunting, and climbing along with a taste of how Link will sound with a new voice. One thing is certain, the visual style for Breath of the Wild is stunning. Nintendo has been experimenting with this Zelda since early 2011 and producer Eiji Aonuma said they are “Rethinking the conventions of Zelda”.

All we know so far is Eiji spoke on how the game will remove boundaries from players that used to make them follow a set path and implementing gameplay that has never been seen before in the franchise.
