Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is coming to the Nintendo Switch this August, and it's bringing a special surprise with it. When the Switch release debuts next month, it'll also bring a special Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild collaboration. It debuted for Japanese audiences last year, when the game made its initial release in Japan, but now the same content will be debuting alongside the game itself when it launches in the West.

Link's tunic from Breath of the Wild will be available for hunters, as well as his cap and teal top from Breath of the Wild. Essentially, this means you'll be playing as Link himself, so long as you customize your hunter enough to resemble the iconic Nintendo character. There's also a ton of goodies in it for your Palico, with outfits based on Breath of the Wild's Koroks, as well as a Toon Link costume.

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate originally debuted on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016, and it'll be making its way to Switch on August 28. Are you ready to start slaying creatures as one of Nintendo's most iconic characters?
