Fans have been waiting for the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." Previous reports suggested that the highly anticipated game will come out before the year ends. However, new reports have emerged suggesting that the title will be launched in 2017 along with Nintendo's newest gaming console, the NX.

This was hinted by Nintendo on its Facebook account when the company posted a video about the new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" video game. According to reports, Nintendo NX and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be launched in March 2017. Nintendo and the people behind the video game have yet to provide concrete details about its release. However, many fans are expecting the company to make an official announcement sometime soon.

During this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3, which was held in June, Nintendo released a weapon classes demo of the game. Although the demo was pretty exciting, the game developer claimed that it was only one percent of what people can expect from the game once it hits the market, International Business Times reported. The "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" demo during the E3 event featured the four variant swords shields and bows.

The publication also added that each weapon has its own stats and durability. Apparently, the new "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will need some technical expertise of the players for them to survive in the wilderness.

Meanwhile, in a report by Anime News Network, Nintendo started the development of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" three years ago. In the following year, the company released initial footage of the game. According to the news source, Nintendo originally scheduled the release of the much anticipated game in 2015 but, for some reason, moved it to 2016. With its latest delay to 2017, many fans are hoping that Nintendo will no longer postpone the game's launching.
