Hidemaro Fujibayashi Is The Director of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

I LOVED MINISH CAP.. haven´t play skyward.. i think this game will take TLOZ to another level
Wait. Is Aonuma doing what Miyamoto did & slowly passing the reigns of the franchise over to someone else?
Did this really need it’s own article? I feel it could have been updated into another one.
Uhm. Did you hit your head or something? Do you know where we are!? This is MyNintendoNews! This is what they do! xD
