The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW)

In the role of Link, players will adventure around the massive land of Hyrule to gather strength and abilities to defeat Calamity Ganon and free Princess Zelda from the castle. Players will have to hunt and search for resources and strategize around the game's weapon durability system. Players must kill wild animals for resources and cook food at fires for stat boosts and recovery. Melee weapons and bows are the main methods of combat and while there is significant fighting, there is no blood in the game. Weapon durability and cooking system may be triggering for players who have dealt with scarcity.
