Want to see more of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Of course you do! Don’t worry about spoiling yourself too much though, since the video released by Nintendo really doesn’t show much.

As we can see, the video just pans around the Temple of Time. Things are looking rough at the temple, with large chunks of the wall and ceiling having caved in and vines growing throughout. The short video is accompanied by some melancholy piano music and the caption, “Does this seem familiar?”

This video is a perfect example of why Zelda has remained so successful over the years. While each game (for the most part) features many similar elements, Nintendo manages to mix these elements up just enough where they come out feeling fresh every time. It’s a nostalgia play, but also builds on itself in new ways with each game.

This is the first time Nintendo has released anything about the new Zelda since E3 in June. Perhaps with this little tease, Nintendo is preparing for a bigger announcement at gamescom. The company will be attending the gaming event in Germany from Aug. 17-21, although it does not have plans for a conference.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be coming to Wii U and the Nintendo NX. No release dates have been mentioned, but Nintendo has promised the new Zelda will be out by 2017. We’ve already seen a few delays though, so it’s very possible we could see more.

So what do you think? Are you excited to know more about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Do you think Nintendo will make any more major announcements soon? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
