The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Outside of the obvious story tie-ins between games, both games being the same version of Hyrule is a huge reason to play BotW first. The Breath of the Wild map is enormous, and many of the locations are also in Tears of the Kingdom. The original Legend of Zelda on NES introduced the idea of an open fantasy world, but as the series progressed, it veered toward guiding players through a linear sequence of engaging puzzle and combat scenarios. The series has reexamined that formula in recent entries, but Breath of the Wild marks the most dramatic departure to date. You have every item you need to solve every puzzle before you reach the first dungeon. Swords break, and you exchange them often. You don’t have to complete the dungeons to defeat Ganon. This is not the Zelda we’re familiar with, but my hesitations about deviating from a proven formula were cast aside the moment I was dropped into the new, open Hyrule.

Link will have a new fully furnished home after spending a total of 4,400 rupees through this side quest. Adventure Log Entries The only downside here is the fight itself. Lynels have a crazy amount of health, so fighting them will take some time and will usually break a weapon or two of yours. After I finish a dungeon or am in between tasks in BotW, I'll collect up a bunch of subpar weapons and go sacrifice them into a lynel for their bow, melee weapon and shield. Not to mention, their guts and horns are useful for crafting or selling! Travel to the Lakna Rokee Shrine and cut down the surrounding the area. You'll also be able to collect Faries from the Great Fairy Fountain. How to Farm Wood

Moreover, you can also head to Rutille Lake and Dalite Forest for a denser forests for wood farming. Kakariko Village Considering Tears of the Kingdom is set years in the future, something you'd be missing out by the previous game is to see the evolutions that have taken place in Hyrule. Things have changed, and if you don't have the context of what it was like before, you likely won't be able to enjoy the smaller details. The Characters Have Evolved Over Time

The same goes for some of the memorable characters from many of the best Breath of the Wild side quests. Breath of the Wild Is One of the Best Games of All Time Surviving in the world serves as an important build-up to the ultimate goal, which is defined early on: Defeat Ganon. In Breath of the Wild, Link is not trying to prevent the villain’s resurrection. Ganon is there the moment Link wakes, visible in the distance. His evil presence is clear from nearly every vantage point on the map as a disturbing, glowing evil and it has a tangible effect on the world. I felt it at every moment, whether it was by seeing Ganon in the distance or by talking to Hyrulians living under his oppression. Seeing the goal from the moment I started the game also made my final sprint to defeat Ganon hugely rewarding. When I finally decided I was ready to face Ganon, it felt like the culmination of a lifetime of preparation that ended with a hugely satisfying finale. This method is the faster than striking a tree with a weapon and allows you to hit multiple trees, instead of just one. What to Do With Woods Sell for Rupees The rest of the story is simple, familiar to even those who have never played a Zelda game, but the way it is presented is interesting, calling into question the familiar fate of Link and Zelda in a way that made me sympathize with the struggling heroes (in spite of the underwhelming voice performances of Zelda and the supporting cast). Their mission is harder than it has been in previous Zelda games, and the pressure of that task is told well through the optional cutscenes. Breath of the Wild is a feat of design and polish. Hyrule feels like a real place, and the journey Link and Zelda undertake to defeat Ganon is compellingAdditionally, help the travelling bard Kass complete an unfinished song left behind by his mentor. Better still, Kass is also inspired to write some verses of his own, revealing scenes from the Champions' and Princess Zelda's past that even Link never knew of. And what exactly could Kass's mentor's song be...? Note: To play The Champions' Ballad content, you must first complete the four main challenges to free the four Divine Beasts.
