Super Smash Bros. Ultimate proves to have a lot of references to The Legend of Zelda. And more specifically, Ultimate has a lot of references to Breath of the Wild. Beyond Link’s re-design and brand new gear, one of the references we’ve so far seen to Breath of the Wild is the Great Plateau Tower stage. The stage is full of loving nods to the latest Zelda title — King Rhoam can be seen gliding in the background, for example — and it also has great background music. For those who…

Nintendo’s main focus this E3 has been on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The game developers have revealed a lot of information on the game, and this is everything we know so far: Link, sporting his Champions Tunic from Breath of the Wild, is not only making an appearance, but he also is part of the initial roster. His bombs detonate remotely, he shoots a beam from his sword when he’s at full health, and he has a new Final Smash. Princess…

If you watched the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate feature during Nintendo’s E3 2018 Direct conference, then you might have caught a few familiar places for battle!  During the reveal, we learned that not one, not two, but three stages from The Legend of Zelda series are going to be playable.

Final Smashes have been a mainstay since Super Smash Bros.: Brawl, and Link is now sporting a brand new one for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Armed with the Ancient Bow and Ancient Arrows from Breath of the Wild, Link will have no trouble pinning his foes down in style.

Nintendo’s E3 2018 Direct presentation was packed with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate news. One such piece of news is that Midna will be making a return appearance in the game as an Assist Trophy.
