How Does Breath of the Wild Fit into Zelda's Lore?

-

Hey everyone! I just started playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and since it’s my first Zelda game, I’m feeling a bit lost. The lore seems super complicated, and I’m wondering how this game fits into the overall timeline of the series. Can anyone break it down simply for me? Also, if there are any other posts out there that answer my questions, I’d love some pointers!

Honestly, Breath of the Wild is kind of a soft reset for the series, so it doesn’t tie deeply into the existing lore. Just focus on the game itself; it’s designed to be a fresh experience!

Totally! Just think of it as a standalone adventure—it’s super rewarding without worrying about all the backstory.

Honestly, if this is your first Zelda, don’t stress too much about the lore! Just dive into the game and enjoy the adventure. The story will make sense as you play through it, and obsessing over the timeline might just take away the fun. It’s best to experience it for yourself!

Exactly! The gameplay and exploration are what make it amazing. You can worry about the lore later!
