Get hyped: the next Legend of Zelda game has finally received a trailer loaded with a significant amount of gameplay and feature previews. From the look of things, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild seems like it will live up to some very lofty expectations.
The 2017 Nintendo game, set to launch on both Wii U and the still-unnamed Nintendo NX system, shows an apparent Link hero traversing a giant, colorful world in many ways, including horseback, parasailing, and Tomb Raider-esque cliffside scaling. Our hero gets up to a lot of new activities in a mere three-minute trailer runtime. Most notably, Link gets his first-ever Grand Theft Auto-styled maneuver: hijacking a rogue horse after stealthing up to it in some tall grass.

Link is also seen wielding new kinds of main weapons, including a few staves and a strangely styled sword that looks axe-like. He's even seen putting together various ingredients to cook dishes of food. Puzzle solving via environmental shoves and magical ice-block formations, not to mention a few giant baddies and a long look at the series' famous Master Sword, round out the trailer's most spine-tingling moments.

Nintendo has a lot riding on its next Legend of Zelda game, including the fact that it's the company's sole, playable game on this year's E3 show floor. This trailer should hopefully ease the pain of the game's recent delay from this fall to next year. Though the game was previously announced as launching on two systems, this trailer makes no mention of either the Wii U or the Nintendo NX, though we don't believe that means we should expect a cancellation on either just yet.
