One of the standouts of last month's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 at Los Angeles, California was Nintendos' presentation of the upcoming "Zelda" title. The unveiling of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has given the Japanese-based electronic gaming company something to be proud of. As the upcoming game title is expected to be the largest one yet from Nintendo, it is also expected to boast new features. One of the possible new highlights of the new "Zelda" video game is the dark, open world.

As reported by iDigital Times, the fans have been clamoring to see an open world feature of the Dark World, which is one of the most exciting themes of the previous "The Legend of Zelda" game titles. The E3 presentation of Nintendo revealed that the "Breath of the Wild" will be having a huge open world setting that will incorporate more RPG elements. The only thing that would complete a thrilling experience in the new game is the Dark World theme.

Nintendo has not given more information regarding the theme of the upcoming "Zelda" title, but the company is surely keeping up with the gamers' insights about their recent games. To note, the Dark World is a significant part of the Zelda series where the players are introduced to the never-ending battle between the good and evil. The next "Legend of Zelda" could be an opportunity for Nintendo to go bolder and finally introduce a dark and open world in the game.

Meanwhile, The Bitbag reported that "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be a very huge installment in the series. The size of the game is in fact larger than the "Twilight Princess," possibly 12 times bigger. However, it is not expected to be bigger than the huge game titles like "The Witcher 3" and "Grand Theft Auto 5."

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has a tentative release date of 2017, although Nintendo has not released additional information about the game's launching.
