Forget everything you thought you knew about The Legend of Zelda games and step into a world full of adventure and exploration. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild breaks the boundaries of this acclaimed game series.

The latest installment in The Legend of Zelda series introduces the first true open world in the series’ history. Players can adventure through the land of Hyrule or embark on an expedition to distant mountains if they wish. Players can go anywhere they see from any direction. This is one way the game differs from the familiar rules of the series and introduces completely new gameplay styles.

The newest adventure takes The Legend of Zelda series to a whole new level by breaking several patterns found in previous games. For example, many of the smaller enemies are no longer scattered randomly around the world as in earlier games. In this adventure, you will notice that certain enemies live in larger groups. Another new feature is that Link can now climb. He can climb towers and other tall structures. He can even climb to the top of a high mountain and get an amazing view. While at the mountain top, Link can easily descend using a paraglider. If you prefer to glide down standing on Link’s shield, that is also possible.

Finding and defeating enemies is important. You can avoid encounters if you wish, but if you want to find new weapons, you need to defeat at least some of the enemies. Food helps Link regain lost hearts and gives him extra strength. Just as the game’s title suggests, nature plays an important role in this game. It is important to observe the weather and temperature, as they affect Link’s ability to survive in this vast world. Rain and lightning can be fatal to Link. Dress warmly if it’s cold or a bit lighter if it’s very hot.

The game includes many places where you can find treasures, puzzles, and adventures. About 100 Shrines of Trials await you, and you can explore them in any order. Many puzzles have multiple solutions and contain many secrets.
