The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: news and videos

It is not hyperbolic to say that nearly every month for the last four years, there has been a "must-see" Zelda: Breath of the Wild clip coming out of the community. Similarly, the incredible nature of the below clip cannot be understat...

When there's a "bank error" in your favor in games, you take it! AI glitches are an interesting phenomenon, as they can be silly or game-breaking at the drop of a hat. But in this case, I'll allow it. It may even be thematic! After all, Gua...

If I haven't seen it, it's new to me! Given that I'm in the middle of a Zelda: Breath of the Wild replay now, it's amazing to see fresh videos and revelations pop up to this day. We're coming up on the fourth anniversary of Breath of t...

I'm halfway through another run of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and knowing what I know now: it makes combat trick videos all the sweeter. Twitter user A.xk is taking things to the next level though, completely trashing a Guardian with a ton ...

My wife is finally starting her The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild journey for the first time, and it's like watching a kid in a candy store. I get to relive the whole thing over again as she wanders the world of Hyrule searching ...

I have just about every Mario Kart track burned in my brain at this point, alongside of most of the map of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Naturally, it was only matter of time until someone combined the two. Over on YouTube, a Breath of th...

The story of how The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came to be continues to delight, as it seemed to be one of Nintendo's highest priority and meticulously designed projects in years. For those of you who were unaware, Nintendo sh...

Throughout the past several years, Zelda: Breath of the Wild players have learned some hard lessons. Things like "don't get too close to dragons" or "don't play with rocks next to a family of wolves." Now, Reddit's brenrob has a lot of...

Modders are always hard at work adding in various elements of Nintendo's history to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but this (along with the Inox-to-Bowser enemy model swap) is one of my favorites. Crafted by Yainskofso, this mod not only t...

We've seen Zelda: Breath of the Wild "out of the map" glitches before, but not like this. You see, past methods have generally been shoddy at best. Although they get the job done, they often bug out the game, or don't allow you to save...

Folks are creating some amazing things for Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While people doing things in the game has been a constant highlight these past few years, modders have also gone to town in the game, crafting silly crossovers and other ...

I'm not quite sure when The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will stop surprising me. It's been over two years, and still I'm uncovering things I've never seen. But I'm not talking about some esoteric beatdown strategy here: this ti...

Any excuse to still talk about Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A lot of folks are actually picking it up for the first time in the quarantine, which has led to all sorts of new clips and discoveries. While the below video from Reddit user p...

As I constantly lament the death of the Tony Hawk franchise (and get excited at the prospect of it coming back every chance I get), the spirit of the series still lives on through fans everywhere. Or something like that. It definitely ...

The world may be on lockdown, but you don’t have to leave the house to explore new worlds. Video games provide some of the best escapism and immersion one can hope for, and so it’s in that vein that we’re kicking off a new...

Nintendo's first-party stuff never really goes on sale. That's the double-edged sword of Nintendo's Seal of Quality -- when games are this good, you don't need to lower the price. It's rare to find anything more than modest discounts on the...

Have all roads led to this? Considering that the creators of this kickass Zelda: Breath of the Wild montage video have said that this is likely going to be the "final big project and love letter to Breath of the Wild," maybe: at least for t...

As I've said many times, there are different flavors of Zelda videos. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a full-on action clip, which I've dubbed "stunt videos." On other occasions, I want to see something no one has seen before, and be on ...

While the durability system was one of the most polarizing elements of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at launch, I think a lot of people eventually got used to it. It was effective at making players feel helpless at the start, but by the ti...

[Image source] Pretty much every Zelda: Breath of the Wild player has come across Tarrey Town: a little community you can grow through some NPC errands. Did you finish building it? Because it's one of the best examples of a low key worldbui...

I've seen a lot of impressive Zelda: Breath of the Wild videos in my time. Maybe all of them! But this one is definitely in the top 10. Posted by "hsjdf" on reddit, the phrase "when you were partying, I studied the [blade] pot lid" is more ...

This clip really needs to be seen to be believed. I can't tell how many times this Zelda: Breath of the Wild player tangoed with a small army of Guardians on their Master Cycle Zero motorbike, but this particular try nails it. Shared o...

Demakes fascinate me. It's impossible to literally go back in time and supplant retro games with newer concepts, knowing what we know now. But I'm engrossed in the artistry of it: especially if the theoretical concept works, or even better:...

I've often heard from people that Zelda: Breath of the Wild's world is lifeless, and I just don't agree. Maybe it's because I allowed myself to get lost in it, but I felt like I was uncovering life at every turn: and not just because of the...

Nintendo: hire these people! Despite the fact that there are plenty of great content creators, writers and animators out there, Nintendo has been very reticent when it comes to producing TV and movies based on their own properties. I get it...

Sometimes, a piece of media comes out that just wholly inspires people around the world, and I think Zelda: Breath of the Wild is right up there with The Witcher III in terms of pure cosplay and mechanical potential. Case and poin...

Before everyone sees "the things you don't know about this game" and goes "I totally knew this!" I totally didn't! Out of all of the biomes in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I think the desert locale is the one I explored the least. Look, I jus...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild really is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is it possible to play this game for 10,000 hours, but the millions of fans who picked it up for Switch and Wii U are still finding ways to pull ...

I've been a fan of open world games since Claude first rampaged through the streets of Liberty City. In those halcyon days of the PlayStation 2, being able to go where I want to go and do what I want to do marked a striking change from the ...

As I've mentioned in the past, one of my favorite things about Zelda: Breath of the Wild is how much it can make me laugh just as often as it makes me gasp in awe. We've seen so many incredible videos, both intentional and unintentiona...

There's nothing better than a hand-drawn note for an RPG. I've talked about this a lot, but back before the days of walkthroughs, you basically had to take notes if you wanted to get through some of the more complex offerings of old. Scrawl...

The latest entry in Electronic Arts' legendary football series, FIFA 20, has successfully retained the number one spot of the UK Charts, holding fast against the debut of Ubisoft shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, which came in s...

So this is new. You know how the Switch ⁠— kind of like the 3DS' Activity Log ⁠— tracks how long you've played something? Well Twitter user Samir AID managed to crack that baby wide open, as the timer no longer dis...

Fishing in games is one of those activities I do when I'm really into something. You know you've "made it" as an RPG when settling down and relaxing is a big draw, and Zelda: Breath of the Wild might be the perfect game for said r...

If you've played hundreds of hours of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you can prooooobably tell what's going to happen in the below clip based on the header image alone. But in case you're part of the literal 4.7% that never started playing (mat...

Credit where credit is due when it comes to Zelda: Breath of the Wild's autonomy. We don't really talk about it enough (well, we talk about Breath of the Wild enough in a general sense!), but so many of these comical and skillful video...

Players have discovered yet another cheeky glitch in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and this one involves everyone's favorite fishy prince: Sidon. For those of you who haven't played the game, Sidon is one of the key NPCs that allows Link ...
