Last month, Nintendo Japan released nearly 40 minutes of gameplay from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the gameplay, we get to see the game’s first boss, which appears to be a giant rock monster. The fight starts at around 33 minutes in. The boss one-shots the player, who then figures out that the monster’s weak spot is located on its back. The video also shows off Breath of the Wild’s cooking system, snowboarding, tree chopping, and hunting.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will release in 2017.
