Zelda Wii U was finally revealed at E3 today and with a new title: it's now called "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild". Seeing the new official trailer for it and some gameplay sessions of the demo, this is looking to be one of the most promising new Nintendo games, let alone Zelda game, I have seen yet. It's got a really vast world to explore (it's twelve times the size of Twilight Princess's world. Read: twelve times as large), and it's a really compelling game that centers itself on exploration and survival, giving you great freedom to explore the vast world of BOTW. And unlike Twilight Princess, where the world is largely empty space with a lot of spaces having little to do, it seems this game will keep you busy wherever you go in this vast world. A Link Between Worlds for 3DS brought a lot of promise about where the Zelda franchise could go, bringing it back to its NES roots while modernizing it a lot, and Breath of the Wild looks to be carrying that promise: it'll really be a lot of exploring, which was the original charm of the older Zelda games. This is really looking to be fun, and it emphasizes the survival aspect, forcing you to feed yourself to survive, and takes a unique approach to puzzle solving your way through. It even seems has some aspects like weather and time aspects, which seems to make a new and more modern approach to Zelda that I've seen. Eiji Aonuma sure as hell wasn't lying when he said this was going to both be the largest Zelda game and one that rethinks the conventions of Zelda, and from what we've seen so far, Breath of the Wild is extremely promising.
It's a shame we won't see the real game until sometime in 2017, but LoZ: Breath of the Wild looks like a really ambitious Nintendo title, and looks to be something great to play on the Wii U (or NX if you're willing to pay 500 bucks or so at launch) when it releases. It seems like a really complex and large game that'll be a masterpiece at its finest, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the actual game launch soon next year. Even though I find a lot of Nintendo's business decisions to be questionable, there's no denying that this game will likely be one of the finest Nintendo games I've seen, and I'm sure as hell excited for it.
Other than that, I'm also looking forward to seeing Persona 5 come out next year, and that looks to be a great game in the Persona series, with some new twists while still maintaining some of Persona 4's style. I also am interested in the recently released Uncharted 4, which I heard is extremely good. Some great things to have on a good ol' PS4.
