They also mentioned there's no Zelda gear items (in the version they played at least) like the hookshot, boomerang etc in the game., so it looks like it's just the slate in the game.
This is really exciting. It's great to know that the games almost out in less a month. Back when it was announced I almost bought a Wii U for it, but I'm happy it's almost time.
@jump Do we even know that for sure? Cause I'm still hearing conflicting messages.
Anyway, we have to draw the line somewhere. And with the Game Informer article, it's a good time to start including spoiler tags. I'm sure that more spoilers and leaks will follow in the coming weeks.
@Dezzy Oh for sure, even with the Wii U version I have friends who are forced to play that version due to them missing opportunities to pre-order the Switch. I can see Breath of the Wild passing 5 million quite easily, its going to be interesting if it surpassed Twilight Princess in lifetime sales.

Lol well I'm choosing to play the Wii U version because I don't think the Switch will be worth owning until Mario and Xenoblade are out.
It'll be cheaper by then probably too.
The only Nintendo products I am 100% going to buy this year are a Nintendo Switch, Breath of the Wild, a pro controller, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Mario Odyssey. Obviously I'm so hyped for Zelda — you've all read, skimmed, or at least seen the walls of text when I gush over the game — but I think there's a lot more to my excitement than just that.
It might not hit as hard if you've already played the Wii U version, but I've also watched let's plays of Mario Kart 8. I know those tracks, but I'm still super excited to play through them at the end of April. Moreover, I can play with my non-gamer dad with two full-sized controllers without him being totally intimidated by the game, and without it being some obscure indie game. He's a racing fan, so he can even use the Wii-style motion control wheel. That's something two years of owning a PS4 hasn't netted me, not to mention that most of the indie games on PS4 are hardcore and inaccessible people without a huge degree of manual dexterity like Towerfall.
And then there's Mario in December. A bit of a gap if I don't buy Splatoon 2, Yooka Laylee, or what have you, but I'll almost certainly be replaying Zelda several times. And there's something I want to say about these few high caliber Nintendo games.
They're better.
I'm sorry if you like your Far Crys, your Last Guardians and your Battlefields, your Souls and even your Witchers, but none of that stuff reaches the heights the best Nintendo games do. We can go on about AAA third parties all day, but most of those games — often western games — just aren't as singular of visions. Or, if they are, aren't as willing to change their basic structure as sequels and genre games that come out of Nintendo's top studios. Even just buying a handful of games in the Wii's early years, I would rate those higher than almost every open world game this gen. I truly think that a few excellent games are worth a thousand diminishing returns $60 titles. Anyway, I hope I've conveyed my point well enough for you to pick up what I'm putting down. I like Deus Ex and Nioh too, but it's just not... they're not... Not the same.
@Haru17 That's why i prefer Nintendo and more generally SH. I don't want a realistic graphic. I want a great experience, and we can get it not only through graphics. We can get it through music, art style, story, catchphrases, feels. The things that Zelda (and games like Xenoblade to make another easy example) makes me feel, i will never feel them with an Elder Scrolls or a The Witcher
