Original The Legend of Zelda Map Gets Printed In 3D
The Legend of Zelda on NES had a sprawling world by the standards of 1980s console games. While decades ago people used to draw their own maps to try and keep track of where each dungeon and secret, alternative methods now exist. Like, for instance, 3D printing a replica of the game’s entire overworld.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild PC emulator effort gets $23k a month in funding
Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the best reviewed games of all time, heck it is one of the best games of all time. But the only way to play it is if you got a Switch or a Wii U. Which is why there’s a team of fans working on bringing the game to the PC via an emulator. And because of the size of Breath of the Wild, it’s quite an undertaking. However, the team at CEMU, who are working on the emulator, have been getting lots of support from fans. Not just nice messages from fans, but actual monetary support.

Lost Zelda screenshot reveals NES classic was almost in first-person with a dungeon select screen
Nintendo might have rewritten the book on open-ended design, but recent discoveries show that this almost wasn’t the game. The Hyrule Encylopedia has uploaded a long-lost screenshot from before the game was released, and the early build shows a much different game. For one, it was a first-person exploration game, more similar to Might and Magic or Etrian Odyssey for today’s audiences. The genre was very popular back then in Japan, and Nintendo very well might have been trying to capitalize on that popularity.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Beginning VS. End
For most Zelda games, the progression is pretty linear. As Link moves forward in the story, he gains more tools, his lifebar grows and maybe picks up a bottle or two here or there. But since Breath of the Wild is such a huge departure for the series, things look and feel much different when you begin your adventure and especially when you head into the endgame. This is the sort of thing we're talking about...

Zelda Fan Game Turns Breath of the Wild Prototype Into Thing You Can Play
Earlier this year, Nintendo showed off a 2D version of Zelda that it used to conceptualize some of the mechanics in Breath of the Wild. It was cool! No surprise, then, that a fan decided to recreate that prototype so that anyone could play it.

Report: Nintendo developing ‘The Legend of Zelda’ game for iPhone

It launched Super Mario Run late last year, debuted Fire Emblem: Heroes in January, and has announced plans to bring other flagship franchises to iPhone later this year. Today, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Nintendo is developing a Legend of Zelda game for iPhone, jumping off the Nintendo Switch’s success with Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo is having an amazing year
In March, Nintendo released quite possibly the best entry yet in its revered Legend of Zelda series. This week, the iconic Metroid returns with an excellent new title on the 3DS, while an inventive new Super Mario is coming in October. That’s three of the company’s biggest franchises, all in the same year. (Oh, and Nintendo also released a brilliant new piece of hardware with the Switch console / tablet as well.)

Open-world games are broken, and Nintendo spent 2017 trying to fix them
Earlier this year, I threw a temper tantrum. I was mid-way through Horizon Zero Dawn, a game of dazzling polish and exciting potential, and after a few hours of streamlined, mildly inspired introduction, I viewed with horror what the remainder of my time with the game would be: It was to be, yet again, a map game. I would find new regions, climb some sort of tower, unlock a bunch of icons representing various activities on a map, and then go do them.

Our #1 game of the year: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Breath of the Wild is Polygon’s Game of the Year. In late February, I boarded a plane to New York thinking about how absurdly lucky I am. “Imagine trying to explain to your 12-year-old self,” I thought, “that one day you’re going to fly to New York to play the new Zelda game on the new Nintendo console — before anyone can buy either of them.”

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now the best-selling Zelda game of all-time
Boys and girls, it's a very momentous occasion. With the release of Nitnendo's latest financial results, we now see that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best-selling Zelda game of all-time. We're talking about a worldwide scale here, where the game has sold 8.48 million on Switch alone. When you throw in the Wii U version sales, which were at 1.5 million as of the last fiscal quarter, at the very least possible, Breath of the Wild is just shy of the 10 million sold mark.

Video: A Look At The Aliens, Dinosaurs And More That Were Cut From Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
One of the Switch's most popular titles - and one of the most popular entries in Nintendo's 32-year-old series - is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is particularly noteworthy thanks to the way in which it breaks away from the norm of the series, ditching features that have been present from the very start, but it could have even further removed from the classic formula, as we're about to find out.
