The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released in 2017 on Nintendo Wii U and Switch platforms, and is widely considered one of, if not the best entries in the storied franchise’s history. Its sequel has been one of the most anticipated games of the last decade, and it’s incredibly exciting that we’ll be returning to the game’s beautiful world in eight months.
