"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is being debated right now due to the Australia rating it recently received. This got the fans confused whether the title will be released before or after the Nintendo Switch launch.

It is highly probable that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is already finished, considering the fact that it has already been rated in Australia. Rumors are rife that the title is on the verge of being released and is given an M rating in the continent down under, which means that it is safe to be played by teens.

Another possibility is that the rating may have hinted at the release date of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" even before the equally anticipated Nintendo Switch is launched. According to iTech Post, it is risky to release the game alongside the console since "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" may encounter problems with Switch. Thus, the safest time to release the game is in June as the sales of the title and the console will not be affected much. There is a possibility, however, that the release of the title in March could bring a necessary hype to increase the sales of Nintendo Switch.

Nevertheless, both the game and the console are being anticipated by fans for their promising features. A number of video trailers for "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" have been released to showcase the gameplay and other offers such as combat scenes and weather system, among others.

"Step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a boundary-breaking new game in the acclaimed series," Nintendo wrote. "Travel across fields, through forests and to mountain peaks as you discover what has become of the ruined kingdom of Hyrule in this stunning open-air adventure."
