Zelda Wii U/NX finally has an official title, and it's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The free roaming game will let Link wander across a massive wilderness, scavenging for resources and finding ancient relics - including, of course, the Master Sword. And hey, voice acting!

We still don't have a precise release date for Breath of the Wild, but Nintendo did confirm it will hit Wii U and NX simultaneously, the latter of which is set to arrive in March 2017.

Check out every announcement and full summary details on our Nintendo livestream page.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
