(Pocket-lint) — The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most celebrated games of the last generation, an instant open-world classic that's having a major influence on game design years later.
It feels miraculous to play through, giving the player a level of freedom, and a lack of overbearing guidance, that is entirely rare in the genre, while telling a classic Zelda tale through flashbacks.

Nintendo finally showed off more of the game at E3 2021, having given us nothing on it for two years. The trailer is a great watch, too, with loads of small moments to digest and new gameplay mechanics glimpsed.

When it comes to a release date, though, we're no longer quite so in the dark — in a nice look at the game at E3 2021, Nintendo confirmed that it was aiming for a 2022 release date, although we didn't get anything more precise than that.
