'Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' release date: New details on maps, scale and new abilities revealed

Although "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will make loyal fans of Zelda feel at home, it also has additional features that players will be excited to discover.

One of the new abilities to get a load of is Magnesis, which was featured in the demo for the game. This ability allows players to move metal objects around.

"Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will show players all the items available to move with a push of a button. In addition to that, hidden objects can also be discovered when using Magnesis.

Mateja Simovic of Capsule Computers, who go to play the "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" demo, said that activating the ability led him to discover a chest sitting at the bottom of a pond.

It will surely be difficult to find if Magnesis is not in use. On top of that, the skill can also lead players to know which items will be useful in solving puzzles.

Simovic also marveled at the beauty and expansiveness of the world of "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." The cel-shaded visuals as well as the classic art style made for a fusion of realistic and cartoon style graphics.

Nintendo touts that the map of "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is a dozen times bigger than the one on the "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess."

The demo only gave access to a small portion of the map that can be typically navigated through in three minutes and 20 seconds. YouTuber Arekkz made calculations how many minutes it will take to cover the whole thing.

Sans the environmental obstacles, Arekkz said that it will take 40 minutes to go from the north of the "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" map to the south, 33 minutes from east to west.

Fans will get to experience all of this goodness when "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" drops early next year for the Wii U and the Nintendo NX.
