Nintendo unveils high-flying first look at 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild' sequel
Watch Next

Well, it's not much — but at least it's something.

At Tuesday's E3 Nintendo Direct, The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma unveiled our first look at the still-untitled sequel to Breath of the Wild. In the clip, we see hero Link exploring the skies above Hyrule with a bunch of new powers, including what looks like the ability to walk through walls/floors and an arm canon that maybe doubles as a flamethrower?

It's a stunning first glimpse at a game we can't wait to play. But of course, we will have to wait: The untitled sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn't expected until 2022.
