Labo VR lets you play Breath of the Wild in virtual reality

The Nintendo Labo: VR Kit is heading our way on April 12, expanding the Labo range of cardboard peripherals with a set that provides a lot of new experiences in VR. Just like some of the other sets could be used with existing games - like the bike with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - we've now found out that VR is coming to two of the Switch's biggest titles.

Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are both getting free updates on April 26 to become compatible with the VR set, meaning you can explore areas of the Cap, Seaside, and Luncheon kingdoms in the former. There are even three new mini-missions to collect music notes and coins too.

As for Breath of the Wild, Nintendo says you can "change modes at any time while adventuring to explore your favorite places with VR," but we don't know the scope of the experience other than that.

For now just take a look at the trailers below, which should give you a sense of what to expect later this month. Are you hyped to explore these worlds in VR?
