Breath of the Wild story recap video preps you for Tears of the Kingdom

Tears of the Kingdom: The Legend of Zelda is only a week away from release, and many Nintendo Switch owners may be saying to themselves, “Oh, yeah, what exactly happened in Breath Of The Wild?” After all, it’s been more than six years since Breath Of The WildSwitch (and Wii U) and may need a refresher.

Nintendo has a good understanding of the potential for confusion around some of the larger plot points. Breath Of The WildNintendo has condensed the story of Link’s previous adventure to get players back up-to-speed for his next journey. To get players back up to speed for Link’s next adventure, Nintendo has condensed the story of Breath Of The Wild into a six-minute video. It explains why Link was taking a 100-year nap, reminds you of Zelda’s very important role in containing the evil of Calamity Ganon, and touches on where Link and Zelda wound up at the end of the game.

A good portion of Nintendo’s Breath Of The Wild story recap video is about the century before the events of the game itself, and it’s pretty high-level stuff. The video doesn’t touch on many of the side characters or supplementary stories of Breath Of The Wild, but it’s a solid primer for players jumping into Tears Of The Kingdom.
