Link, the game’s hero, is also getting some new abilities, like the option to climb walls and trees. The game is currently set for a 2017 release date for both Nintendo’s current Wii U console as well as its successor, so far known only as “NX.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4368687/legend-zelda-breath-wild-trailer-nintendo-e3-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4368687/legend-zelda-breath-wild-trailer-nintendo-e3-2016/"},"headline":"Watch the Trailer For Nintendo's Epic New Zelda Game","datePublished":"2016-06-14T16:57:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:50:07.377Z","description":"It's called \"Breath of the Wild\"","url":"https://time.com/4368687/legend-zelda-breath-wild-trailer-nintendo-e3-2016/","keywords":["Tech","Video Games","Nintendo"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3624ce91fb127b18/698897b6196cf43a5203c01f/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-4-e1486997071490.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3624ce91fb127b18/698897b6196cf43a5203c01f/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-4-e1486997071490.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"zelda-breath-of-the-wild-4","caption":"","creditText":"Nintendo","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4368687/legend-zelda-breath-wild-trailer-nintendo-e3-2016/","name":"Watch the Trailer For Nintendo's Epic New Zelda Game"}}]}] ```
