In July 2014, Nintendo Japan's official website revealed more information about ''Zelda Wii U''. It would be possible to explore and go anywhere in the new ''Zelda'' world without boundaries and challenge new and tougher enemies as a new, mysterious Link. However, without an official English translation, a new nemesis has been translated from this information instead of new enemies.{{Ref|"New Detailed & Insightful Zelda U 'New Enemy' Translation"

==Story==
Much is still unknown about the story in Breath of the Wild, but the basic outline was given by game creators at the demo Nintendo showed. The game begins with Link waking up after being asleep for 100 years, in some sort of Sheikah temple where he is given a device known as a Sheikah slate. He finds the world outside to be in a state of unrest, by the actions of a monster known as Calamity Ganon, who has taken over Hyrule castle, and whose presence has caused significant damage to the realm. It's then up to Link to stop the monster and save Hyrule.
A bit of text from gameplay footage, shows the Old Man character talking about the Sheikah's role in the story. He tells link this:
    ''“The appearance of those towers and the awakening of this shrine… It’s all connected to that Sheikah Slate you carry on your hip there. Long ago, an advanced civilization known as the Sheikah inhabited these lands. It has been quite some time since I’ve seen or heard of the Sheikah Slate… It was the power and wisdom of the Sheikah that saved this land time and time again. But their civilization disappeared long ago… or so it is said. It is interesting, however, to think… that something of them might still remain hidden away in a shrine such as this,”''

The game features weapons from previous Zelda games, such as the Bokoblin club, bows, and swords, but also introduced a whole new array of items Link can acquire on his quest through the world. During the E3 trailer, Link was climbing up trees, and on buildings and cliff-faces, he also used a Glider to descend from a high height, unlike the Sailcloth which was shown in earlier gameplay footage. Along with the clothes customization, there was also a glimpse at hairstyle options during the gameplay footage when Link uses the glider to access a new area. Link can also affect the environment much more fluidly in ''Breath of the Wild'', as shown both in the trailer and the gameplay footage. Players can dislodge boulders to roll over enemies, and cut down trees to access more areas.

The world of ''Breath of the Wild'' is a much more open-ended and non-linear. There is no order to dungeons, and game choices can affect the outcome of the entire story. It has the largest map ever in a ''Zelda'' game.
