once again Nintendo's newest Zelda game launches on a new system you can play the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild on Wii U or the Nintendo switch I got to play the switch version Zelda on a small and large screen means two ways to play and breath of the wild is a lot of new ideas for traditional Zelda fans to get used to breath of the wild is an open-world adventure and Nintendo isn't kidding the game's scale feels enormous and while players of open-world console games might not be surprised Zelda gamers might be slightly overwhelmed it's a quiet world full of forests and fields and mountains you can climb anywhere as long as your stamina lousy some cliffs are seriously big you can wander alone for a while and the game invites it there's lots of crafting in this Zelda your weapons and items are found and they wear down and break over time you also end up foraging for fruit herbs and other things that can be combined and cooked and nearby fires sometimes you get powerful potions other times you get Duns breath of the wild is a post post-apocalyptic Zelda game taking place many years after some cataclysm ruins are everywhere and mechanical creatures lurk link has a tablet sort of like your switch that can scan for locations tagging and mapping locations feels like having a mini GPS breath of the wild uses all the buttons on the switches joique on controllers but those controllers are small plugged into the included grip or slit into the switch there okay aiming a bow uses motion controls managing abilities and weapons uses other buttons it's fun to take Zelda on the go but the scope of the game and its small details make it a better fit for a TV than the switches small screen but the ability to play the game away from home makes breath of the wild feel special so far it's great but it's also one of the only games available and a switch at launch on March 3rd you
