"Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" may have been delayed, according to recent reports regarding the game's current state of development. Sources from Nintendo have also confirmed that the game wouldn't get a release date as soon as it was expected to.

"Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was expected to be rolled out with the Nintendo Switch Console in March next year. Now, however, as the game still has certain changes to be done, the launch will probably take place as early as Q2 next year. Here's what we know about the upcoming game so far:

"Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild": Story And Background

The story starts slowly with a teenager named "Link", waking up in a Shrine of Resurrection. A mysterious female voice guides him throughout the shrine, describing Breath of the Wild's premise. The story further reveals that Link has woken up after a century, and by the time a "beast" had created havoc in Hyrule. Link, as it turns out, is the hero of the story and has the responsibility to restore the land to its actual position. The game revolves around Link and his quest to take down the "Beast", who was called Calamity Ganon, to prevent him from causing more damage.

Nintendo has used an utterly lush visual style in the game, which reminds us of the ancient Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The game starts with Link, having an almost full inventory from the time he's awake. Link is the main protagonist and is equipped with a variety of weapons including sword, arrows, shield, and bombs. By collecting enough raw materials, you can craft a device on your own.

In "Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", Link can climb just over anything other than the vine-covered areas. This is a huge upgrade from the earlier Legend of Zelda games. Link is also equipped with a stamina meter, and as compared to the earlier versions of the game, he's quite a good hold at it. A Sheikah Slate acts as a display meter, showing Link's next objective in the game.

"Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild": Release Date

Nintendo tipster Emily Rogers has earlier stated that the game will not be launched with Nintendo's Switch Console in March. While the game may be developed by the end of 2016, a testing period of at least Four months will follow before the game hits the stores.

Eurogamer had also previously confirmed the details of the new schedule. It's expected that the Game will now be launched in Q2 next year. Stay Tuned to SWR for more updates on "Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" release date and gameplay.
