If you’re anything like us, the wait for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is becoming unbearable. Nintendo’s newest entry in the long-running series was easily the most impressive game shown off at E3, and we were lucky enough to get to go hands-on with it during a preview at Nintendo’s booth.
Thankfully, the Big N is taking pity on the fans, and has slowly been releasing new content for the upcoming title. Last week, a pair of bite-sized clips were shown off, the first of which draws attention to the the Cryonis Rune, one of many Runes that Link can take advantage of in-game. The second featured a handful of Link’s weapons, including a Woodcutter’s axe and the Fire Rod.
Today’s newly-released video shows off the ever-present Bow and Arrow, where Link uses regular arrows to both dispatch nearby enemies and slowly break apart their makeshift camp (in a rather neat display of in-game physics interactions). The clip also showcases Fire and Ice arrows, which can be used to light enemies aflame or freeze them. Even better, foes can be shattered after they are frozen, which looks great in action.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is set to release sometime next year, both for the Nintendo Wii U and the upcoming NX.
