The Legend of Zelda: Breath if the Wild’s story is set 100 years after the reawakening of Calamity Ganon. Calamity Ganon is the main boss of the entire game in which players can fight him right after the tutorial or until they completed everything else in the game that they can do.

The beginning of Breath of the Wild is very reminiscent of the very first Legend of Zelda game with Link coming out of a cave into a vast world; just more 3D than previously. Once Link has finished the Great Plateau region, the tutorial region, The Old Man that Link has encountered will tell the tale of what happened 10000 years ago.

The tale that the Old Man tells Link is that Calamity Ganon rises every so often and every time Ganon rises, the embodiment of the Goddess and a hero wielding the Sword that Seals the Darkness will also awaken to be there to seal Ganon away once again. The ancient race of the Sheikah's knew of this and decided to take action to help the hero in his battle to re-seal Ganon away.

To do this the Sheikah's built four Divine Beasts to weaken Ganon along with hundreds of Guardians. The Guardians role in the battle was to protect the embodiment of the Goddess and the hero while they fight Ganon. However, things did not go according to plan when Calamity Ganon awoke and instead Ganon seized control over all the Guardians and sent four different blight versions of himself to each of the four villages to gain control of the Divine Beast.

Each village had their own champion that will control the Divine Beast when the time came for them to take action. The villages are as follows: Zora's Domain with Divine Beast Vah Ruta an Elephant, Goron City with Divine Beast Vah Rudania a Lizard, Gerudo Town with Divine Beast Vah Naboris a Camel, and Rito Village with Divine Beast Vah Medoh an Eagle.
Each village has their own type of element that is associated with them and the Blight Ganon's each take a form or trait of that element. The Ganon's are as follows: Waterblight Ganon which has control over Vah Ruta, Fireblight Ganon which has control over Vah Rudania, Stormblight Ganon which has control over Vah Naboris, and Windblight Ganon which has control over Vah Medoh.

That is the basic premises of Breath of the Wild without spoiling most things that are not given away as soon as completing the Great Plateau or by letting you figure out what exactly happened to Link 100 years ago by doing all the memories.

Rito Village and Divine Beast Vah Medoh

Image
Rito Village, in my opinion, is the second easiest village due to the fact that you do not need any special gear to be able to get to it. However, to complete Divine Beast Vah Medoh you would need the Snowquil Armor or have some source of cold-resistance active. There are multiple ways to get to Rito Village, but the major inconvenience of getting there is the fact that there is a giant chasm separating the rest of the world and the region of Hebra and Tabantha. The main way across this chasm is from the Tabantha Stable and crossing the bridge there. The other way that is not climbing back up is just going around the chasm which is a long detour.  Like Zora's Domain main quest, Rito Village's is also pretty straightforward with a fun minigame to be able to fight Medoh. This minigame requires arrows and the ability to aim somewhat quickly. This is because you will be in a wind vortex which requires you to hit five targets within 3 minutes. The part about aiming quickly is be

Side Quests and Korok Seeds

Image
There will be a point in the game when you have nothing left to do because you have done all the shrines and defeated Calamity Ganon. Well like most games, there are side quests! There is a total of 76 side quests from just getting the game. The DLC (Downloadable Content) adds a lot more side quests. These quests are optional, hence why they are called side quests. Even though side quests are in fact optional, early game they can be a source of Rupees, the game currency. These side quests can be found anywhere in the game; to the top of the tallest mountain, and to the bottom of the deepest gorge. Finding all of the side quests can be a annoying at first but the majority of the side quests are at villages or at stables, with a few scattered here and there. There are three main things that a side quests will make you do: collect something for them, kill something for them, or complete a task for them. There may be a few exceptions but most side quests are about that. Once you have com

The Great Plateau

Image
The Great Plateau is the area that the player first starts in, or better known as the tutorial area. The entire region of the Great Plateau is the tutorial and it is almost impossible to skip unless the player has done the task required to get off of it. The task required to pass the Great Plateau is by doing 4 different shrines or mini dungeons. These shrines are scattered across the Great Plateau so that the player gets a very good understanding of most of the game mechanics. Each shrine adds runes to your Sheikah Slate. The Sheikah Slate is a device that Link, or the player, uses to access the mini-map, inventory, or see what quests they still have to do; it is also required to open shrines, but Link can't possibly lose the Sheikah Slate. These runes give Link "special abilities". These abilities include Magnesis, Remote Bombs, Stasis, and Cryosis. Later on, another rune can be added which is the camera and is required if you want to 100% the game. Magnesis is g
