'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' news, update: recent leak claims title comes out March 2017
"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is yet to come out, but several signs point to the release of the anticipated game. A Nintendo watcher claims that the title is about to get launched in a couple of months.
Enthusiasts of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild" were disappointed when news came out that the title will not arrive alongside the Nintendo Switch. The game has no release date yet, but leaker Laura Dale surprised the fans when she said that the game will be released in March.
She wrote on her Twitter account, "Contrary to my past report on BOTW release date it is 100% coming at Switch launch in North America in March. Have seen finalised materials."
Her post obviously has strong convictions, given that she claims being 100 percent sure about it. However, her words remain unofficial as Nintendo still has the last say about the release date of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
Dale's announcement actually coincides with a Reddit post that came out on Dec. 30. As reported by The USB Port, an image appeared at a U.K. game store with the new Zelda game, up and ready for March 2017. The photo also appears to give information about the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and the Nintendo Switch.
Nevertheless, it is already confirmed that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will not be released alongside Nintendo Switch.
Another news came out stating that a Wii U version of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is set to release on June 13. In an article by IGN, it is a new "Mario" game that will be released simultaneously with the console instead of "BOTW."
Nintendo is set to have an event on January 12 and everyone is expected for more "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild" details. The event may also give details of the specs and the list of lined-up games for Nintendo Switch.
