The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is as remarkable as it is enormous. As we wrote in our beginner’s guide, it’s also a game that wants you to play at your leisure while figuring pretty much everything out for yourself. Sometimes, though, that isn’t easy or obvious. Breath of the Wild’s unmitigated freedom can be confusing, and we’re here to help. In Polygon’s Breath of the Wild guide — every part of which appears in the links below — we’ll help you find your way through the continent of Hyrule. You’ll find stories offering you tips, tricks and strategies, as well as guides for cooking, for finding secrets and treasure, quest walkthroughs and the locations and solutions to the game’s myriad shrines. Now that The Master Trials, the first expansion to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is in the, er, wild, we’ve updated our guide with tips, tricks, walkthroughs, item locations and more for the DLC.
