The newest Zelda has an aesthetic link to the past.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the next installment in Nintendo’s over 30-year-old fantasy series. It comes out March 3 for the Switch (as the console’s flagship launch game) and the Wii U. It’s an open world focusing on exploration and player creativity. Breath of the Wild also features a striking art style filled with vibrant colors, looking more like an animated movie than the attempts to capture realism that we see from other studios.
