Gamers’ next journey into the world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost here and to celebrate the March release, Game Informer will feature the upcoming Nintendo Switch game extensively in its next issue.

The publication promises new footage and information through interviews with the Breath of the Wild t eam, and in the meantime, new screenshots and information have been released on the Game Informer website. The screenshots show Link in action with little morsels of information that players didn’t know before.

Environment will play a role in how you play in Breath of the Wild, we knew that much, but one new screenshot shows how lightning can affect Link’s adventure. If Link is carrying a lot of metal weapons or armor, he will be susceptible to being hit by lightning during a storm. Breath of the Wild is more a survival game than past Zelda games so your health is very important.

Another screenshot shows a boss battle that hasn’t been seen before. Game Informer reveals that every dungeon will have a boss, just like in previous games, and that there will be a trick to defeating each one.

Random enemies will appear in this new Hyrule and some will be more powerful than others. But if Link can defeat a formidable opponent, he can use that foe’s powerful weapon to best the others.

And finally, some familiar faces will appear in Breath of the Wild , like the shopkeeper Beedle, and Game Informer’s article promises even more characters will appear in BotW .

Game Informer will have continued updates on the Breath of the Wild throughout the month on its dedicated hub, here.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will release March 3 for the Wii U and Nintendo Switch.
