About the game

An entry in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series, set in Hyrule after Breath of the Wild. The range of exploration now extends to islands floating in the sky and a vast underground world. With new abilities like Ultrahand, which sticks objects together, you build vehicles and contraptions yourself to solve problems. There's no set order, so you can adventure wherever you like first.

Why we recommend it

Explore a Hyrule that stretches across the sky, the surface and the depths with an ingenious ability to stick objects together. Here, your imagination is the strategy.

Good for — Great for: anyone who loves exploring, experimenting freely and inventing their own solutions
