As the Wii U slowly begins to amass a collection of respectable games making it worth buying, no title is anywhere near as anticipated as the latest entry into the Legend of Zelda franchise. This latest effort brings significant changes to the series, operating within an open-world framework that's intended to provide the player with more freedom than ever before, and has been noted as many to be rather Skyrim-esque. Of course, Link's trusty horse Epona is back, and the game will reportedly allow the player to set Epona to auto-pilot, avoiding obstacles and following a set-route while the player can focus on combat. Leaping from Epona during combat will also activate a slow-motion mode for more precise aiming. Though little has been shown off so far, the brief taste fans have been given simply looks magnificent, and will no doubt push many on-the-edge Nintendo fans to finally give in and buy Nintendo's struggling console.
