- Twelve years and olderThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the nineteenth installment of the main The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for both the Wii U and Nintendo Switch in March 2017. The game features large, open world exploration like earlier three-dimensional The Legend of Zelda titles but is more non-linear in that the dungeons can be completed in any order, similar to the first The Legend of Zelda.
Gameplay
As Link, the player explores an open world spanning various regions in the kingdom of Hyrule. Unlike previous The Legend of Zelda titles, the game does not impose a predetermined or linear path to completion, instead encouraging players to explore the in-game world on their own accord by offering a multitude of ways to interact with the environment. To this end, the player employs different moves, weapons, and resources while frequently engaging in puzzle-solving and enemy combat. The main character is controlled from a third-person view, with full control over the camera.
Link's primary actions include walking and jumping, which extend to running, gliding, swimming and climbing. The latter four, however, are constrained by a stamina mechanic which decreases at a constant pace until Link enters a state of fatigue. When this occurs, he has to wait a few moments for the stamina to refill completely before proceeding with another action. Another attribute of Link is the health counter, which depletes with long-distance falls or with hits from enemies and hazards, such as falling rocks. The health counter can be expanded by acquiring Heart Containers, a trademark item in the series.
Link can procure items such as food and weapons through various means. Food is used to restore Link's health and stamina, and can be obtained in appropriate situations such as finding a nest with eggs, bonking a tree for fruit, and hunting wild animals for meat. The game presents a cooking mechanic which allows the player to combine ingredients into various dishes that restore potentially more energy than raw food. Other resources found in the overworld include plants, small animals, and monster spoils, used exclusively to prepare elixirs from which Link acquires temporary enhancements such as endurance to certain hazards.
