Breath of the Wild

Breath of the Wild

Games 105 by Abi, Rowen, Tori, and Brogen

Episode notes

Lots of things to talk about today in the immense expanse of the Legend of Zelda, though Rowen, Brogen, Tori, and Abi are going to be focusing specifically on Breath of the Wild. How does a video game reflect on the cultural history of its creator? We continue last episode’s theme by contrasting Elden Ring’s darker visuals with the brighter tones of Breath of the Wild, and reflecting on how that affects the gravity of the two stories.
