Zelda: Breath of the Wild - the best tips and tricks

There's a lot to do in the new Zelda offshoot, Breath of the Wild, due to the huge, open world. We have summarized the best tips and tricks for your adventure in Hyrule here.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild - tips and tricks

• What is new in Breath of the Wild is that you are responsible for your food and its preparation. Therefore, collect everything you can find in the world to prepare various dishes at cooking hobs or campfires, which will give you bonuses.
• Regularly complete shrines that are spread all over the world. Every time you pass a shrine exam you will receive a sign of probation. Once you have 4, you can trade them in at prayer places for more hearts or extra stamina.
• Above all, in the shrines you have to solve puzzles and sometimes pass battle tests. In addition to the signs of probation, you will find chests with valuable items and useful equipment.

Tip: Explore the game world in Breath of the Wild

• The Kingdom of Hyrule represents a huge world, which is why you should unlock the fast travel at the beginning to save time. Visit shrines and activate towers to unlock fast travel points on the map.
• Another way to explore the world faster is to tame wild horses. If you meet a wild horse and sneak up on it, you can tame it and then register it with a stable. From then on you can explore the world on horseback.
• Complete all side quests in Hateno to improve your modules and get useful features for your adventure. In addition to the camera function, there are other functions of the Shiekah stone that are worth upgrading.
• Pay attention to the weather conditions when playing. If it rains, Link finds it harder to climb and he slips more easily. In the event of a thunderstorm, you should take off your metal equipment as you can easily be struck by lightning.

Tricks in Zelda: Breath of the Wild

• Collect weapons regularly and also check the weapons that your opponents drop. In Breath of the Wild, weapons and shields have limited durability and can break during combat, which is why you should have accumulated a supply.
• At first, avoid guards, the tentacle-like enemies that glow pink. Your laser attack has a long range and defeats you with one hit. At the beginning of the game, we advise you to escape.
• If you are already a little more experienced, you can parry the laser attack with your shield. Wait for the moment shortly after the laser leaves the eye and then block. Despite everything, this tactic is not easy and can cost you your life, but you can destroy the guard with three to four properly matched blocks.
