Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild doesn’t release until 2017 but with each new gameplay footage reveal, Nintendo gives fans some hints about what they can expect in this latest installment.
The official Twitter account of Nintendo of Europe, via Siliconera, has released a short clip of how bow and arrows will work in Breath of the Wild. The 42-second clip shows off the different types of arrows you will use in the game, including ice and fire arrows to perform different tasks.
You’ll also be using your bow and arrow to interact with more than just enemies as players can see when Link cut the ropes holding a bridge up. In Breath of the Wild, players will also have a seamless way to change arrows while aiming.
Take a look at the short Breath of the Wild clip below.

Attendees of E3 this year, and who had the chance to play Breath of the Wild, know this game is a lot more like a survival game than past Zelda games. You’ll have a finite amount of arrows and you’ll need to find more by defeating enemies or creating your own.
The environment in Breath of the Wild will also play a major role in how you use your bow and arrows. Some areas will be windier than others and will affect your trajectory, you’ll also have to learn about different launch angles to master your weapon.
We spoke to a Nintendo representative about the different environments at E3, which you can watch in the video above.
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will release for both Wii U and the Nintendo NX in 2017.
