yeah it makes sense. if the amiibo date is right, the release date is probably right, judging by Smash Bros.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2805d ago

Could this also be the release date of the NX then?

guywazeldatatt2805d ago

that's what I'm assuming. I mean considering the success with the Wii and TP, Nintendo would be CRAZY not to release Zelda as a launch title with the NX.

wonderfulmonkeyman2805d ago (Edited 2805d ago )

The rub with this, is that this release date rumor is still entirely a rumor; they could be releasing the game a week or two after launch if it still needs more polish.
As for the Amiibo, they could very well release those earlier or later than the game itself (probably earlier, to let people get them in prep for the game), as they please, so I don't feel that this is a release date indication for the game or the console.

guywazeldatatt2805d ago

if they delay it for two weeks it's already golden and there's no time to push it back. it will be fine and it needs to be a launch title.

also, the smash amiibo (as said in the article) came out the same date as smash for wii u, november 21, 2014.

Concertoine2805d ago

If they delay zelda they delay NX, period. Why launch without Zelda?

3/3/17 is a good release date.

guywazeldatatt2805d ago

I'm also curious if they delay the Wii U version. They ddi that with the TP version so people would buy the Wii version at launch. I hope not, but it could happen.

deafdani2805d ago

That's already happened. It's pretty obvious the release date of the new Zelda was pushed back to March to coincide with the NX's launch.

3-4-52805d ago

Right around my birthday...nice. Not interested in Amiibo though...but can't wait for this game.

guywazeldatatt2805d ago

that's awesome. I may ask for it for christmas if I don't get a review copy and then wait to get it....did that with the Wii, ahhhhh. I haven't felt this excited in 10 years over a system, lol.

Dunban672805d ago

The title of this article is false- How does a leak of the possible release date of the zelda amiibos (that is still subject to change even if it was the original intent) turn into an article title STATING " Breath of The Wild Release date outed" ???
Based on these standards might as well say "NX release date announced"

guywazeldatatt2805d ago

the smash amiibo released the same day as smash did. it's logically to say that zelda will be released with the BoTW amiibo will be released. plus it's tagged as a rumor.

Celebrating Zelda's 35th Anniversary: What Makes The Legend of Zelda Special?

When you play a Zelda game, even if you don’t like it, it’s hard not to recognize that these games are full of passion and care in every aspect. Despite many games in the franchise having similar gameplay mechanics and story beats, fans still come back time and time again, eager to see the new incarnations of Link, Zelda, Ganon, and Hyrule.

5 Side Characters Who Deserve Their Own Games in 2021

BY JOHN SANTINA: Video game side characters and sidekicks rarely get the spotlight that they deserve. Mario, Nathan Drake, Sonic and Gordon Freeman get the accolades for saving the day, but their adventures wouldn’t be anywhere near as entertaining without their supporting cast.

But, what if those unsung heroes could star in their own games? Not every side character would make a great lead, but there are several that would be great fun to play as in their own adventure, away from the shadow of the star of their franchise.

These are 5 side characters who we would like to see receive their own games in 2021.

Ranking Every 3D Zelda From Worst To Best

KeenGamer: "Ocarina of Time revolutionised the Zelda series when transitioning from 2D to 3D, but now that two decades have passed, how does it stack up against the rest of them? The Legend of Zelda rankings are a very divisive topic, so what better way to make tempers flare by ranking every 3D Zelda game from worst to best."

I'd swap BOTW with OoT but I agree that Wind Waker is the best; at least IMO.

mikeslemonade1439d ago

All I know is BotW is the worst

CrimsonIdol1438d ago

I reckon's it's probably the second worst. That second one for Wii that forced you to use the motion controllers for everything was horrible, but mostly because of the controls. But then at least it was still a Zelda game instead of another one of those boring Ubisoft sandbox games with a Zelda skin

Tross1438d ago

Why, because BotW is different? I mean, I would put OoT near the top too. Maybe BotW needs its own category. We can call it an open world Zelda game, because that is essentially what it is. But, just because something is different doesn't make it bad.

MWH1439d ago

I didn't like Majora's Mask at all, to me it felt devoid of the charm and the imagination Ocarina of Time had.
And no Zelda list is complete without A Link to the Past.

ZeekQuattro1439d ago

As iconic as A Link To The Past is this list is worst to best 3D Zelda games.

MWH1438d ago

ah! my bad i missed the 3D part, age if you know. no harm intended.

CrimsonIdol1438d ago

No way. It was probably the most creative they ever got with Zelda. Too imaginative if anything, getting stuck in the apocalyptic Groundhog Day in the Zelda universe maybe went too far out of most peoples gameplay comfort zones, and I have to admit there's a certain despair I got at trying to get a bunch of things done right in the world only to have it reset on you over and over.

MWH1438d ago

I respect your opinion wholeheartedly but that's how I felt toward it. I'm not saying it was a bad game, far from it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did with OoT. it felt lifeless and with a sense of despair like you said, maybe that didn't connect with me at that point of time. anyway, if you love it I totally respect that.

Shiken1439d ago

The Zelda IP is a very diverse IP with varying control schemes and features (masks, time travel, motion controls, touch screen, linear, open world, Wolf Link, etc). With that in mind, no one is going to value the same things as everyone else. These lists will vary from person to person, and there is no wrong order.

Rebel_Scum1439d ago

Skyward Sword should be on the bottom of this list...always.

Good-Smurf1438d ago

The only Zelda game that interested me was The Wind Waker.
I adored its design and the game have aged beautifully.

MWH1438d ago

I agree Wind Waker was a great game. I remember when it was announced everybody was confused for quite a while was it Walker or Waker, good times.
