Trivia

Breath of the Wild is the first main game in the series to be localized into Russian and Dutch. Eiji Aonuma himself appeared in the Russian and Dutch Nintendo Switch presentations to introduce the game to Russian, Dutch, and Flemish players.[24][25] Although the Dutch localization is text only whilst retaining the English voice-overs, the Russian localization covers both text and voice acting.
