STEP INTO A WORLD OF ADVENTURE

Forget everything you know about The Legend of Zelda games. Step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a boundary-breaking new game in the acclaimed series. Travel across fields, through forests and to mountain peaks as you discover what has become of the ruined kingdom of Hyrule in this stunning open-air adventure.

Story

At the beginning of the game, Link is awakened in a chamber by a female voice, after being in a deep sleep for 100 years. During this time, a monster called the Calamity Ganon appeared and ravaged the land of Hyrule. As it could not be defeated, it was instead sealed inside Hyrule Castle. However, the Calamity Ganon's power continues to grow, and if not stopped it could destroy the entire world.[1]

Gameplay

The game is the first fully open-world game in The Legend of Zelda series since the original title. Link is able to travel anywhere in the world, either by foot or on Epona. The Wii U GamePad displays an overview of the world, and tapping a location on the map places a beacon at that spot on the television screen. Jumping off of Epona also allows the player to enter a slow-motion state and shoot arrows. Enemies are also given a health bar.

The game will also be compatible with amiibo. Scanning the Wolf Link amiibo once per day allows the player to summon Wolf Link into the game as a partner character; although by default he has three hearts, the number of hearts he has will increase if data from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD is saved onto it. The game also supports the three new amiibo announced to be released with the game, though it is unknown what these will do.[2]
