In anticipation of the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom set to release on May 12, which you can pre-order for $20 less than the regular price, Nintendo has released The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Explorer’s Guide free for you to download. Here’s what you need to know.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Explorer’s Guide?
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer’s Guide originally came within a bundle package in 2017. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer’s Edition bundle included the game, an explorer’s map, and the guide. The e-guide is a 96-page PDF walkthrough with information on gameplay mechanics and the world of Hyrule that beginners will find helpful and veterans might find interesting.
What is interesting about this free PDF version is that it is missing pages 73-84, which included sections about “Horsing Around,” “Hyrule’s Wild Side,” “Fiercer Foes,” “The Many Faces of Hyrule,” “The Four Tribes,” and “Great Fairy Fountains.” The reason for the omissions are not known, but Polygon has ruled out that it is for spoiler reasons. Perhaps it’s just an error from Nintendo that might be fixed later.
If you did not get the physical guide back when it was basically free with the game, the price has been inflated quite a bit from its $60 bundle cost, if you could still manage to find it new from reputable stores. The physical version sold out some time ago, although you could still find it for reasonable prices at some second-hand markets.
The timing of the release seems to be clear: At this point, most people will probably not be looking to buy the guide to play a six-year-old game. More than likely, the strategy seems to be to get people hyped about the upcoming Zelda game and get people to finish The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
