A Nintendo insider has announced that it would be none other than 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.'

Good News Gaming reported this exciting news and said that the source, Nintendo Insider Laura Kate Dale announced on Twitter that 'Breath of the Wild' will be Switch's launch game. She said that the release date for the console is in March for North America and that her news is credible because she has seen "finalized materials."
