Although "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is not a plot-driven game.
Even if you don't pay attention to the plot of the game, you can still have a lot of fun playing in Hyrule.
Set the mountain on fire, slide the door to pick the lock, and use the master sword to cut down all the trees in the forest.
Why don't you use other weapons? Because I can’t bear it!
And use various means to bully those Pokbulins.
Use bombs to blow up fish and electric arrows to electrocute fish at the lake.
It can be said that as long as you think about it, you can play all kinds of tricks.
But if you play the game in depth, the four heroes and the changes in Hyrule over the past hundred years after Ganon's invasion will still make players very emotional.
Especially the plot is not nearly as complete as many players think.
Instead, it has a very complete main story.
Especially Princess Zelda, who looks like a tool.
In fact, many players have no impression of Zelda as a princess at first.
After all, in addition to the old king, there are also short narrations and some side descriptions.
There are very few references to Princess Zelda throughout the game.
This also made many players joke and joke about why this game is called "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
Because Princess Zelda is just a legend
Especially after experiencing the story of the Four Heroes.
The lovable Miss Mifa, the outgoing Darkel, the extremely arrogant Libal and the heroic Urbosa.
The four heroes with different personalities allow players to clearly feel their charm after learning their past stories.
In comparison, Link and Zelda, as the protagonists, seem to be less outstanding.
Among them, Link is okay, after all, he is the protagonist controlled by the players.
It controls Link to perform various rogue operations, which allows players to immerse themselves in it to some extent.
But Zelda has been ignored by many players.
Because in the game, the stories about Zelda go hand in hand, and players need to collect them.
Find the place where Link and Zelda once had memories.
There is no so-called indicator for this task. It can only rely on the player to run throughout Hyrule and then compare the photos to find the corresponding place.
It can be said that this task is simply torture to death for countless players.
Including various strategies on the Internet, they are all pieced together by many players.
Today you discovered a location and I shared it online.
Tomorrow he discovered a location and shared it online.
Finally, thanks to many players discovering various different places in the game, a complete guide was created.
With these memories and the main plot, players finally learned about the story about Zelda, the princess.
Princess Zelda has always believed that as long as others can do things well, she can also do them well.
But in fact it was not the case. Even though she tried hard to soak in the fountain of courage and prayed to the goddess until she collapsed, she still could not get the approval of the elves.
But Link was easily recognized by the Master Sword.
Therefore, Zelda feels stressed every time she sees Link's Master Sword.
And not only that, when studying the temple, Link, who was the princess's heart, was better at controlling the divine beasts than Zelda, who had been studying antiquities.
Moreover, Princess Zelda has obviously guessed that the Shikar Stone in her hand can activate the temple.
But when she put it on, there was no response. This frustration also made Princess Zelda even more anxious. So at this time, Princess Zelda finally couldn't control her emotions and asked Link to stop following her.
This also caused Princess Zelda to be chased by the Yigai team later because she was not escorted by Link. Fortunately, Link arrived in time and rescued the princess. At the same time, with the mediation of Sister Urboza, Link understood Zelda's inner knot, and the relationship between the two eased.
While constantly researching ancient ruins and unlocking mythical beasts, Princess Zelda also regained her relationship with Link, and began to care about Link and asked him why he had been silent.
And through conversation, Princess Zelda also found out.
It turns out that Link felt pressured because he was already recognized as a brave man by the Master Sword, so he decided to keep silent and not reveal his emotions easily.
Only then did Princess Zelda realize that he was so similar to her.
However, the thick-lined Dalkel on the side interpreted the resemblance mentioned by the princess as something he liked to eat.
And it revealed a setting of Link, that is, Link is a big eater and can eat anything.
And this also left a precious memory for the future, which is also one of the few warm scenes in the entire game plot.
Heading to the castle of the Kingdom of Hyrule, Zelda already knew that Link was a big eater, so she picked up the frog in her hand and asked Link to swallow it.
In an impassioned speech, he described how much help and contribution swallowing frogs had to Hyrule.
You can see that when Princess Zelda lowers her head and purses her lips, there is a hint of a smirk on her face, showing the liveliness and cuteness that should belong to her age.
Princess Zelda and Link are playing happily here. After all, the two are already very good friends who know each other's secrets.
Of course, in addition to this heartwarming scene, the plant that appears throughout the game is also mentioned here: Princess Serenity.
This flower is beautiful but fragile. Although Princess Zelda studies hard, it seems that she still cannot avoid its fate of extinction.
But in the game, when players go to Princess Zelda's research room, they will find a beautiful Princess Serenity, strong and untimely blooming here, just like Princess Zelda who is fighting against Ganon alone in the castle.
But the happiness was only short-lived, and soon Zelda fell into a sad mood, because Zelda's pressure not only came from herself, but also from her family.
The king said that Zelda was not doing her job properly by investing her energy in antiquities.
But only Zelda understood that no matter how hard she tried, the power of the seal could never be awakened, so she began to study ancient ruins to defeat Ganon.
The appearance of the Four Divine Beasts and the Four Heroes also came from the efforts of Princess Zelda, but even so, the ministers in the palace were still full of gossip, calling Zelda an uneducated princess.
But what is more ironic is that players will be able to get two recipes later, which can be learned according to the instructions.
Princess Zelda likes fruit cake because eating this recipe will clear her mind and help her study antiquities.
The ministers like the monster cake made with monster essence, because after eating it, they will be confused and energetic.
But in the end, all she did was in vain, as Ganon was resurrected and killed the Four Heroes and the King.
The Kingdom of Hyrule seems to be inevitably heading for destruction.
At this time, Zelda still had not awakened the power of the seal.
'It's all my fault. It's all because I couldn't awaken the power of the seal... so the ancient artifacts that were supposed to be used to deal with Ganon were taken away. '
'Everything I...have done so far...hasn't helped at all. I killed everyone! He killed his countrymen, his comrades... He killed his father... '
Link escorted Zelda and escaped from the castle, and the majestic heavy rain in the forest beat on Zelda's wailing back.
Link took Princess Zelda all the way, surrounded by guardians.
From Hyrule Plains, through the Twin Mountains, they fought all the way to the vicinity of Kakariko Village.
But the battle along the way had left Link seriously injured and exhausted. Finally, when the guardian found traces of the two of them, they decided to destroy Link with a laser. It was as if God had played a joke on Zelda. In this situation where she almost lost everything, the power of the seal awakened.
However, at this time of despair, Princess Zelda discovered that Link was still alive. The voice of the elf in the damaged Master Sword guided Princess Zelda on how to save Link's life.
So at this time, Zelda made a clear judgment and arranged for the Shikar tribe to arrive and bring Link to the Temple of Resurrection with the Shikar Stone. He followed the guidance of the master sword, returned to the forest and inserted it back into the pedestal.
Zelda firmly believes that even if Link loses all his memory after waking up, he will still come here and find the Master Sword again.
And she headed towards Hyrule Castle again alone to continue fighting Ganon.
Until Link wakes up.
At first, many players thought Zelda was just a tool to advance the plot.
Princess? What can be saved
One hundred years have passed, just wait.
But when players find these lost memories and feel Zelda's efforts and helplessness.
All players have only one thought, I want to blow Ganon's head off! I must rescue Zelda!
