Breath of the Wild
When Link wakes up after 100 years of sleep, he finds himself in the vast ruins of Hyrule. With only a mysterious voice, the iPad-esque Sheikah Slate, and a solitary old man to guide him, Link must destroy the Calamity Ganon and bring peace back to Hyrule. Along the way he’ll chop trees, cook meals, and complete a wide variety of sidequests in the Zelda franchise’s first open-world installment.
