what type of game is zelda breath of the wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild[a] is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo. The tenth game in the main Legend of Zelda series, it was released for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U consoles on March 3, 2017. The story follows Link, who awakens from a hundred-year slumber to a mysterious voice that guides him to defeat Calamity Ganon before it can destroy the kingdom of Hyrule. The game is played in an open world environment. Players are given little instruction and can explore freely: common tasks include collecting multi-purpose items to aid in various objectives or solving puzzles and side-quests in order to obtain rewards. Breath of the Wild's world is unstructured, designed to reward experimentation and allows the story to be completed in a nonlinear fashion.
Characters in The Legend of Zelda series Link is the name of various Hylian youths who characteristically wear a green tunic and a pointed cap. He has the pointed ears of the ancient Hylian race. He also has the Triforce symbol on his left hand. Each Link is described on the series' official website as humble, hard-working and brave, and therefore appropriate to bear the Triforce of Courage. The various Links each have a special title, such as "Hero of Time", "Hero of the Winds" or "Hero chosen by the gods". Link is left-handed, with two exceptions. In the Wii version of Twilight Princess, Link is right-handed due to the "mirroring" used to accommodate the right-handed control scheme,[1] which flips the entire game world's layout from that of its Nintendo GameCube counterpart. Link is also right-handed in the titles Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild. In the manual for the original game, he is depicted as being right-handed, and in the game itself, Link is seen as ambidextrous as his sword is in the "down screen side" whether he is facing left or right . In Ocarina of Time Master Quest, the game is also mirrored and instead, Link is right-handed.
