the legend of zelda breath of the wild 2

There’s a princess named Zelda and a villain named Ganon. It still stars Link, a blonde boy out to find and destroy a powerful evil, and it still takes place in the picturesque green fields of Hyrule. Three decades after the original, I get the same feeling while playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch - only on a much bigger scale.īreath of the Wild is Nintendo’s attempt to merge the iconic Zelda formula with more modern open-world adventures, like Skyrim or The Witcher.

The structure makes the game feel like a true adventure, as if you’re charting your own course. You can wander off and get lost, and there’s a good chance you’ll end up getting killed by powerful monsters if you do. You’re plopped in a strange, mysterious world and largely left to your own devices. The 1986 classic has no drawn-out tutorials, no mini-map that shows you exactly where to go. If you play the original Legend of Zelda today, you might be surprised how little guidance it provides.
