We get a another look at the new Magnesis ability that seems to be a critical part of the new entry of the Zelda series, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo has been absolutely killing it with the recent releases of new clips of gameplay. In the new gameplay footage that was released directly from Nintendo of America’s Twitter account, the company once again showed off a new power from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The new Magnesis ability lets you lift objects with some sort of item that shoots out a blue beam. You get to place the object wherever you please, such as simply putting it out of your way just so that you can advance, reaching another destination, or even opening huge doors, revealing entirely new areas. Check out the gameplay footage below.

In the clip, there’s also an awesome tribute to game producer, Eiji Aonuma, known as Shrine Oman Au, which is one of the many shrines that we’ll be able to complete in the game.

It’s going to be very interesting to see how many other ways we’ll be able to use the new Magnesis ability. So far, most of the footage showcasing the new ability has focused on Link using it to move certain objects. Still, we can be sure that the Magnesis ability will be used in different ways to attack enemies, which is very exciting.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is easily one of the most anticipated games in recent memory. Nintendo usually always delivers with their Zelda games, and with this one, it’s shaping up to possibly the best entry in the entire series, which is saying a ton.

We don’t know the exact release date, but we do know that it’s scheduled to release sometime in 2017. Honestly, it can’t come soon enough.
