Nintendo has not made a big announcement about "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" yet.

Monolith Soft, popularly known for "Xenoblade Chronicles X," assisted Nintendo's core "Legend of Zelda" team with Breath of the Wild's mammoth open world.

On the other hand, there are fans who purchased the previous Nintendo console in anticipation of this new game. It is just uncomfortable to see it completed within a week of the Wii U being discontinued.

One of the many highlights of this open world approach is Link's skill to climb mountains and plan his attacks against hordes of enemies. In addition, Link must journey into areas in the game called Shrines, where he can acquire new abilities that will help him pass through the open world and complete quests.
