Mario and Cappy came all the way over to Hyrule in this interesting mod for Breath of the Wild.

Zelda fans in Taiwan and Hong Kong can now look forward to playing Breath of the Wild in Chinese in early 2018. It’s a huge step for Nintendo in further expanding across the Asian market, which was very difficult to crack thanks to a 14-year ban set in 2000 due to fears that it would have…
