Nintendo Celebrates Thanksgiving With Some Neat Breath of the Wild Art

Look behind you!

Maybe the bird sitting on Link's head is thinking, "kill and eat my friend will you? I'll take a dump on your head!"

Happy Thanksgiving! Though it means very little to us Europeans.

I would gladly play a Zelda game that looked like that! So much personality!

Wolf Link looks so cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What is that resting on Link's head? Cuccos confirmed for Breath of the Wild? It almost looks like the bird has Groose's pompadour. Eh, to quote the article, "Or maybe [I'm] overthinking it."

Link and his animal companions perished at the hands (tentacles?) of the Guardian mere seconds after this snapshot was taken, thus bringing us into another alternate timeline where Link loses twice in a row.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE it's because it's for North America only. Maybe Canada too.

thanksgiving
ˈθaŋksɡɪvɪŋ,θaŋksˈɡɪvɪŋ/

A similar holiday is held in Canada, usually on the second Monday in October.
"Thanksgiving dinner"

Happy thanks give

@UK-Nintendo I know that.

@UK-Nintendo Canada and Mexico are part of North America, you meant US.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE sorry I just found out today. I thought it was about Santa Claus thanking me with gifts

Cuckoos against cannibalism

@Laki2 thanks for correcting me sir. You are a gentleman

Link should learn cooking from Cooking Mama first. XD

I love this style of art for Zelda. A bit like the art in the instruction booklets for the first 3 games. Shame this is lost these days with very little physical material for games, and everything geared towards 3D.

So thanks for sharing this! I do really like the art style of Zelda BotW. Can't wait!

Turkey day in Hyrule

It was at this moment, Link knew he f* cked up

Thanks Nintendo! And, is it wrong that this art makes me want the game that much more?

I wonder if this hints at game mechanics? We know Link can partner with the Wolf, I wonder if that won't be the only animal you'll be paired with?

Imagine a 2 on one Gannon fight tagging with a Pigeon....

Mmmh that picture? Is there some clue in it?
Those creatures will u be able to use them for something? Like wolf link?

@MrGawain

Lol same thought

Lol if the chicken on links head is a cuccoo, then the enemy behind Link would be in big trouble if it attacks. Cuccoo rules Hyrule with its gang lol

This is so important to me. You'd never see an American gaming company acknowledged a Japanese holiday. I think... Anyway thanks Nintendo.

So nice. On a side note I'm making some breath of the wild prints in anticipation of the game. So far I've got six different ones. I'm aiming to make about 20!

Good for Link that the Wolf is there, as the Guardian has his sword and shield within grasp.

I love it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Although that guardian in the background is creeping me out.

@Aaron09 Keep in mind this is Nintendo of America.

Awesome. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🙌

Something about the colour choices and bonfire theme reminds me of THAT piece of Chrono Trigger art. You know the one.

This looks delightfully old-scool, as if it came straight from the nes-manual!

I love that frog sitting next to Link.

It's like if snow white sang for all the forest crawlers to come out and play and then killing the turkey and putting him on the fire lol
