10 Similarities Between Breath of the Wild and Past Zelda Titles

The game begins with Link waking up

In classic Zelda tradition, the game begins with Link opening his eyes. The hero of Hyrule never seems to be able to wake up on time, especially when the entire world is on the brink of despair. Breath of the Wild’s awakening is a bit different, though.

Link wakes up from a 100-year sleep after he was defeated at the hands of Ganon. It’s a new take on the classic trope but it also means that Link has a very established past in the world the second he enters it.
