The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 - Action/Adventure

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the next groundbreaking adventure from Nintendo. The game challenges and surprises players in every way possible, while offering incredible freedom to explore the almost infinite world of this "open-air" adventure.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild takes the series to new heights, allowing players to freely explore the vast world of Hyrule without having to follow a set path through the game.

Link must explore the game's environments to find weapons or collect them from defeated enemies. Food helps Link fill his energy hearts and can give him a temporary boost or an ability to help him.

Players can travel around Hyrule or venture far into the mountains on the horizon if they feel like it - players can travel to any area they can see! This is just one of the ways the game breaks with the conventions of the series and introduces completely new ways to play.

The game breaks with certain elements from previous games. For example, many of the smaller enemies are no longer randomly scattered throughout the game world, as many of them now live together in colonies. Link can climb towers and other structures to get an overview of his surroundings. He can even climb to the top of any mountain he can see on the horizon. Link can either paraglide or use his shield as a kind of sled to get down mountain sides. Link will travel through forests, meadows, and mountains in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

The wild nature also affects Link in different ways, so it is important to be aware of changes in the climate, as a change in weather or temperature affects the environment and Link's chances of survival. For example, lightning can be dangerous, as it is attracted to Link's metal weapons. It can also prove useful to dress in warmer clothes in the cold, or something more suitable if you are going through a desert.

The game features over a hundred Shrines of Trials, each with its own set of traps and quests that can unlock special items and other rewards. Secrets can be hidden everywhere, and puzzles often have multiple possible answers. Exploring and discovering is a big part of the game's gameplay and entertainment.

You can mark places you want to travel to on the map, and a light marker will then guide you in the right direction.
The sailcloth will return and let you float down safely when you jump from great heights, and Epona will make your long journeys shorter. Epona will partially ride on her own, allowing you to freely use your sword or bow and arrow while riding.
