Starting June 14 at noon, the Zelda Wii U demo event will begin with a special livestream of Zelda Wii U from E3 2016. Then at 3 p.m., the lucky fans will be able to sample the game for the first time.

There will also be guided gameplay demonstrations from June 15-19 for everyone to watch. Fans in attendance may be able to participate in the demo.
