The long-awaiting upcoming Legend of Zelda title has finally wrapped up development. Breath of the Wild has officially gone gold, according to a Tweet by Monolith Soft developer Yasuyuki Honne, which shows a picture of the game's staff, alongside Shigeru Miyamoto during a wrap-up party. After multiple delays, from 2015, to 2016, and now into 2017, we can finally celebrate the game's full completion.

As much as I'd enjoy a leak to occur for my most favorite game series ever I'm not sure I want my first impression of it to be tainted by an inferior version. I like the Wii U but at this point it has run its course and after seeing the version differences it's clear which will be the definitive version to play on.

We've waited years for this title to release, less than a month left is nothing. I can wait it out.

Double post mate.

I think the worst part about a n early eak is that wiiu owners who didn't know about soft modding would do it - and I think it would negatively impact zelda sales on the wiiu quite a bit.

With all due respect that's on them if they choose to cheap out and play an inferior version.

Even with the Switch version I'm greatly disappointed we aren't getting a 1080p@60fps experience. This should be the standard for most modern games especially a game series as renown as LoZ. I'm not about graphics completely but first impressions of the game and most importantly the Switch itself is important.

On my playthrough of Zelda:BotW I'll be leaving Link bare-naked only with the boxers and fight his way like that. :P

I'm tentatively calling this playthrough method: The "I'm ready for something manly" method.

I remember at the Switch Premiere everyone was dressing up Link and I was wondering -- Why? He looks great almost bare-naked or even if Nintendo allowed Link to be nude I'd go with that although it'd not be too ideal. Enemies could either aim at the dick or get a hard-on and give mixed feelings. :rofl2:

*yawn* Wake me up for the GBAtemp review.
Going gold means nothing in this era of day one patches. Like this post if you've heard that one before. Slow news day.
Correct me if I'm wrong. What is newsworthy here? That they will definitely hit the date they previously said they would?

Nothing gets GBAtemp more excited than the possibility of leaks, no matter how slim.

I think this is the closest I remember hearing Nintendo take it to the deadline without just moving the deadline again. Hmmm...really hope that doesn't mean we get a glitch-ridden game or what have you. Sure, it's Nintendo, but this project had to deal with two versions (thanks a lot Switch) instead of being true to its roots.

1 month before release. I hope they bugtest it though.
Most bugtesting is done before they certify gold. Gold = programming done

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet

    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
