CHAPTER
New Directions
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a larger
world and more freedom to explore than any previous
Zelda game. Its main themes are wilderness exploration
and survival. This means players need to gather
supplies, craft useful items, and even pay attention to
the weather as they adventure through the world of
Hyrule.
When you start Breath of the Wild for the first time,
youll find Link waking up from a deep sleep. This is the
way every game in the main Legend of Zelda series
begins. But this time, Link has been taking an especially
long nap. Youll soon discover that he has been asleep
for 100 years! A lot has changed in the world, and it will
be up to you to discover what happened in Links past
and during the time he was asleep.
There is a lot for new players to learn about Breath of
the Wild . Luckily, the games opening section does a
great job of explaining the basics. As Link wakes up,
youll start receiving messages from a mysterious voice.
Do as it says and head out of the chamber. Inside some
wooden chests in the next hallway, youll find some
basic clothes to put on. Keep going and youll find
yourself in a big open area called the Great Plateau .
Though the plateau is large, it is only a small part of the
enormous world youll get to explore. If you want to see
the rest, youll have to complete a few tasks first. These
Youll start out with almost no gear when you first arrive on the Great
Plateau.

will grant you useful abilities and teach you how to play
the game.
First, the mysterious voice will tell you to make use of
Links Sheikah Slate. This handy device looks somewhat
like a Nintendo Switch, and you will use it for all kinds of
things throughout the game. Pulling it out for the first
time on the plateau will lead you to a machine where
you can connect your Sheikah Slate. This causes a tall
tower to rise up out of the ground and lift you high into
A Big Game Gets
Even Bigger
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a massive adventure. If
you want to see everything in the game, youll need to spend
dozens or possibly hundreds of hours playing. But dedicated
players will eventually run out of things to do in even the biggest
games.
A few months after the games release, Nintendo began
releasing additional content for players who couldnt get
enough Zelda . By purchasing an Expansion Pass, players got
everything from new weapons and armor to new quests and
even a harder difficulty mode. This helped ensure that even
the most active players could go a long time without running
out of things to do!
