There’s a rumour going around on Reddit that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is coming to Android. That’s a very exciting proposition, but is there any truth to it?
The source is TapTap.com, a reputable Chinese mobile games platform. A recent page on the site detailed a 2018 release for the game, and allowed you to register for more information.
It’s pretty light on any real information though, and there are no screenshots to speak of – other than a tweaked version of some artwork. That’s not really concrete enough for us.
We already know that Zelda will be the next Nintendo franchise to make it over to mobile. The Wall Street Journal reported on that back in May last year.
Is there any truth to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on mobile rumours?
But details have been sparse since then, with nothing further announced by Nintendo. If TapTap has a source for this information, we really need to see more evidence of it.
Nintendo did make a fully functional version of Breath of the Wild in the style of the original game back on NES. It would be a shame for that to never see the light of day, so a mobile release of that would be welcome.
Also, Nintendo recently released a set of iMessage stickers for Breath of the Wild in the App Store. Could that be ahead of a mobile release of the game?
Right now, we’d say there is insufficient evidence that Breath of the Wild is coming to mobile. We do know a Zelda is coming next year though, and it wouldn’t enormously surprise us if it was the Switch and Wii U game.
