Set long before the events of later adventures, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild follows Link, a legendary knight who awakens after a hundred-year slumber with no memory of his past. He discovers that the kingdom of Hyrule has been devastated by the return of the ancient evil Calamity Ganon, while Princess Zelda has spent a century holding the darkness at bay. Guided by mysterious voices and fragments of forgotten memories, Link explores a vast open world filled with ruined cities, towering mountains, hidden shrines, and ancient technology. Along the way, he reunites with allies, frees the powerful Divine Beasts, and uncovers the tragic story of Hyrule’s fall. Every journey is shaped by the player's choices, encouraging exploration and discovery at every turn. Ultimately, Link must regain his strength, restore hope to the kingdom, and stand beside Zelda in a final battle to save Hyrule from eternal destruction.
