We Discuss ‘Breath of the Wild’ First Impressions on Waypoint Radio

A week from now, Nintendo will not only launch a new console, but a new Zelda game, one that's promised changes for a franchise looking for new directions.

Though Editor-in-Chief Austin Walker is technically still on vacation, he's returned to taunt me with a copy of Breath of the Wild, and bringing with him some impressions of a dozen hours with the game—at least, as much as Nintendo's strict embargo will let him. We also dive deeper into our impressions of Horizon: Zero Dawn, another ambitious open world game that's finally arriving next week.
