Explore the guide
Step into a world of discovery, freedom and adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Released in March 2017 for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U, it reimagined the Zelda series and set a new standard for open-world design.
You awaken as Link after a 100-year slumber in a ruined Hyrule. Calamity Ganon, sealed inside Hyrule Castle a century ago, is growing stronger again. Guided by a mysterious voice, you explore the kingdom, free the four Divine Beasts with the help of the Champions’ spirits, recover your lost memories and face Ganon at last.
Start with the Divine Beasts and main quests to follow the story, then use the 100% walkthrough, quest lists and collectible guides below to find every shrine, Korok seed, memory and armor upgrade. The quest and collectible indexes link to detailed guides, and the boss strategies explain the major encounters.
Playing on Nintendo Switch 2? The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition adds ZELDA NOTES support through the Nintendo Switch App. The Expansion Pass is a separate purchase; the edition upgrade does not include The Master Trials or The Champions’ Ballad.
