Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

While the general format of Breath of the Wild’s story is different from the rest of the series, there’s still quite a bit that we don’t know about. We’ve seen the very brief opening at last year’s E3, showing Link waking up in some kind of mysterious, and almost futuristic looking, facility. Here he finds the Shiekah Tablet, an advance device that lets Link view a map, and look through it to focus on distant objects. The device is both central to the story and gameplay.

Beyond that, we’ve also seen a story trailer for Breath of the Wild. The particular points of interest in this trailer involve the mention of “The Calamity Ganon,” and seeing Zelda at various points. It’s also important to note that we’ve seen images of a rusted, broken Master Sword in multiple trailers and shots. Breath of the Wild’s story involves events of both the past and present, as Ganon awakens one hundred years after being sealed to wreak havoc once again. You’ll also have the dangerous mechanical beings called “Guardians” to deal with along the way. The good news is, it looks like Link will meet a few companions to help him on his way.

Although we’ve seen a bit of Breath of the Wild’s story, Nintendo has been very light on the details outside of the basic setup. The main attraction of the title, of course, lies in exploring its world and uncovering more about it, so there’ll be plenty of surprises in store. Considering we now have an official timeline for the series from Nintendo, it’ll be especially fascinating to see how Breath of the Wild might connect to other titles.
