Rumor: ‘Zelda: Breath Of The Wild’ Not Launching In March Due To Localization Issues

With the Nintendo Switch launching in March, everyone is eager to buy the system, especially for Zelda Breath of the Wild, which has been rumored as a launch title for so long now that most people have just accepted it. Sadly, our trip to Hyrule might be a bit longer than we expected.

A couple of days ago Emily Rogers reported that Zelda Breath of the Wild was facing localization issues due to the gigantic size of the game. Rogers stated that while the game should be fully localized by December, Nintendo will still need at least 4-6 months for testing the game as it’s just that big. She also reported that the Switch version of the game runs much smoother and faster than the Wii U version, but in the end this is all just speculation. While not everyone was so quick to believe Rogers, things got a bit more real when Eurogamer came out and confirmed everything that she had said.While this is a hard blow to the launch of the Nintendo Switch, It’s not all doom and gloom. The console is still rumored to launch with an upgraded and expanded port of Mario Kart 8, as well as the possibility of the next 3D Mario game being ready at launch.
