Zelda Breath Of The Wild Review

Zelda, Breath Of The Wild: 

For this post, I decided to review one of my all time favourite games on the Nintendo Switch, which if you do not have, I one-hundred percent recommend getting one, because they are absolutely worth the money.

For anyone that doesn't know the history of all the Zelda games, I would suggest watching GameTheory on YouTube, MatPat definitely explains the timeline and the history much better than I ever could. I will attach a picture of the timeline below, which is only approximate, considering how long and complicated the timeline actually is.

Anyways, Breath of the Wild is set at the end of the series' timeline, as you can see in the picture above. You control Link (the main character in all Zelda games), who awakens from a hundred-year slumber to defeat Calamity Ganon before it can destroy the kingdom of Hyrule. I love the fact that with this game, you can explore freely, so any instruction that you're given, is at the start of the game, and usually if you're doing a quest. The main objective of the game, is to defeat all four of the divine beasts and defeat Calamity Ganon.

Just a disclaimer, this is the order that I defeated the divine beasts, you do not have you do it in the same order, you can research the best order, but it's each to their own! :) 

The first divine beast is, Vah Ruta, who is found in the Zora Domain, which contains Waterblight Ganon, whom you have to defeat to free the divine beasts power and obtain it.

'Waterblight Ganon'
'Power obtained: Mipha's Grace'














As I have defeated this divine beast, I can honestly say that this one was definitely the easiest, considering there are plenty of platforms for you to hide behind when he attacks you with his ice and water shots. Although it did take a while to do.

The second divine beast that is needed to be defeated, who is found in Gerudo, Naboris contains Thunderblight Ganon, once defeated, you free Urbosa's spirit, obtaining her power to help defeat Calamity Ganon.

'Thunderblight Ganon'
'Power obtained: Urbosa's Fury'












Admittedly, I actually had to get my partner to help me defeat this one, as it is the most difficult one to defeat. Thankfully, we did manage to defeat Thunderblight Ganon, but if you're only starting out, I would suggest defeating this one last, so you can use the other powers to block his attacks.

The second to last divine beast is Vah Medoh, who is found in Rito Village, with this particular one, there are a couple of things that you have to equip before you can actually defeat the beast. Which I will list below.

1. Snowquill tunic for 600 rupees
2. Snowquill trousers for 550 rupees
3. Snowquill headdress for 1,000 rupees
4. A LOT of Arrows

'Windblight Ganon'
'Power obtained: Revali's Gail'












Out of all the divine beasts, bearing in mind that I have defeated all four, the last one being yesterday, Windblight Ganon is one of the easier ones, even though it comes after the Gerudo divine beast, in comparison, it is much easier to defeat. I would suggest using the tornadoes and wind that he attacks you with, use your paraglider to shoot him with arrows, makes it much easier to defeat the beast and free Revali's spirit.

 The last divine beast is Rudania, who is found in Goron City, on Death Mountain, before attempting to defeat this one, I would suggest getting the Flamebreaker armor. This can be obtained either through a quest, or you can buy it in Goron City. There is a quest that you must complete to actually get to the divine beast, but I won't spoil it too much.

'Fireblight Ganon'
'Power Obtained: Daruk’s Protection'











This divine beast, I only defeated yesterday, and it's easy enough, but I would suggest using a walk-through to get to the terminals because it is extremely confusing.


Main objective:
Once all the divine beasts are defeated, the next thing you're supposed to do, is go to Hyrule Castle and defeat Calamity Ganon. The good thing about defeating all the beasts before going to defeat Ganon is that it actually decreases half of his health, so you're not having to go through a phase one and phase two when attacking. In the game, while exploring, you can see the lasers from the divine beasts going directly to Hyrule Castle, once you have got to Ganon, they unleash their attacks on him and that's what decreases his health, the rest is up to you.

Honestly, this game is absolutely amazing! Even after you have completed all the main objectives, there are a bunch of side quests and shrine quests that you can do, so the fact that the developers have put so much effort into this game, and made it such a long game, is incredible.

I'm going to leave this here, what I described about the divine beasts, is only a small pinch of what you can do, and there are quests that you have to do to defeat the beasts, but I would suggest buying a copy and playing it to find out.. it also is on the Wii U as well, so if you have one, I would definitely get a copy of this game!
