Laura Kate Dale reported yesterday that one of her sources from NoA told her that BotW would be available at launch, previously she always backed up Emily Rogers who said the game wouldn't be ready for launch because of translation purposes and Laura's sources at NoE said the same.

And today we have an immage (still not confirmed to be real but it fits my "theory") that says that BotW will be available in Spring 2017, most likely meaning that it'll be a launch title.

This makes me think that BotW will release simultaneously with the launch of the Switch in Japan AND the United States while it'll come later on here in Europe due to the translations taking a longer time, it also makes sense since this is the first Zelda game to be Voice Acted and Nintendo games never needed (excluding a few of them that always kept the English dubs such as Mario) voice actors so NoE will need a few months to record all the voice acting/translate text, insert it in the game and make shure that every line of text is placed in the right text box.

 

Living in Italy I really wish this to not be the case but this is the most logical situation right now to me
