With the fourth and final Beast wrested away from Ganon’s control, I was able to take on the game’s final challenge - technically something that can be tackled almost immediately upon starting Breath of the Wild, but at the cost of missing out on the game’s few big story beats. Unlike some of the head-scratching stand-alone puzzles in some of Breath of the Wild’s many shrines, the four “traditional” dungeons that must be solved in the game’s main quest are relatively straightforward, and Vah Medoh is probably the simplest.

But first, I have some unfinished business. Over the last week, I’ve returned to Breath of the Wild with the goal of finally seeing its story through to the end, and facing Calamity Ganon. As I understand it, this is a common feeling - Breath of the Wild is an extraordinary video game, one that few want to end once they start it.īut now that the sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is inbound, it’s finally time to put this particular sentiment to rest. The ruins of Hyrule would be a place of contemplation, something to come back to when the days became dreary and I needed that spark of discovery. Enamored with the game’s spare yet rewarding approach to the open-world genre, I decided I wouldn’t treat its painterly landscapes as a canvas for a campaign of rapid conquest, but instead a leisurely appreciation. I left Breath of the Wild unfinished on purpose. Join us on our journey through The Legend of Zelda series, from the original 1986 game to the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and beyond. In 2023, Polygon is embarking on a Zeldathon.
