After confirming Breath of the Wild‘s timeline placement in the recent Game Informer interview, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma goes on to discuss Zelda and her range of emotions in the new title.

More and more, Breath of the Wild is touting itself as a customizable Zelda experience for new and old fans. With endless possibilities on how to approach the game’s story and combat it’s doubtful any one playthrough will be the same as another.
