The Story
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Nintendo has said precious little about Breath of the Wild’s plot, though we do know the general premise. In some Hyrule timeline, Calamity Ganon has overpowered the peace and defeated the Princess and the Hero. The land’s Sheikah, in desperation, raised four massive beasts and a mechanical army, and managed to seal Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle. But their army turned against the people of Hyrule. The Sheikah was banished by the King of Hyrule, and Ganon continued to grow his power from within the castle.
Now, Link has awoken 100 years later to a guiding female voice. He must venture to the castle and defeat Calamity Ganon, all while learning what truly occurred over the last century.
Other than that, we know that Zelda will play a large, emotional part in the story, and that there is an alternate ending to the game. The rest you’ll have to discover as you play.
