Nintendo shows first images sequel The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Nintendo is working on the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Japanese game maker showed a short trailer during its Nintendo Direct livestream on the occasion of the E3 games fair.

The footage shows Link and Zelda exploring a crypt of sorts, where they find not only hieroglyphs, but also an undead creature seemingly trying to capture them. As with the very first Breath of the Wild trailers, these first images are more than a little cryptic.

It was predictable that Nintendo will make a new Zelda, but that it would be a game set again in the Breath of the Wild universe was not certain. It would not be the first time that Nintendo has gone in a different direction with Zelda compared to previous games. Nintendo hasn’t given the game a release date yet. The game doesn’t even have an official title yet.
