Luckily, there are hordes of re-caps and analysis videos said average Joe can see. For example, the one embedded above is about Breath of the Wild‘s weapons system…

GameOver Jesse and some other YouTubers, including Commonwealth Realm, discuss how Nintendo could successfully market the NX. Because a rumor has surfaced that the NX may indeed be a hybrid between a portable system and a home console, GameOver Jesse believes that Nintendo needs to be clear and concise in defining what the NX is once it has been revealed. One of the YouTubers mentions a possible commercial idea that focuses on targeting busy families who want to spend more time with each other, if in fact the device can be both portable and played like a traditional console. The Youtubers also are excited for the possibility of being able to play Breath of the Wild on the go and at home…

Koroks are returning in Breath of the Wild and having experienced their appearance in person during E3, I am pretty ecstatic about all the implications this could have. Nintendo released a new cut of footage on their facebook page showcasing Koroks, giving everyone a quick reminder of their existence.

Fans love taking Zelda music and covering it in a new or different style. We feature off a lot of these covers, from soft acoustic songs, to heavy metal. Today, we are pleased to share a rock cover of the Hyrule Castle theme from A Link to the Past.This cover falls into the sub category of “surf rock,” a sub-genre of rock music that reached popularity on the beaches of the United States in the 1960s. 130Grit Sound Studio is the talented musician behind this cover, combining an electric guitar, drums, and a bass guitar to create a new spin on the familiar song…
