Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Although "Zelda Re said: Breath of the Wild" is not a story-driven game.

Even if you don't pay attention to the plot of the game, you can still have a great time playing on the mainland of Hyrule.

Set fire to the mountain, slip the door, pick the lock, and cut down all the trees in the forest with the master sword.

What do you say why not use other weapons? Because I can't bear it!

There are also various means to bully those Bokobrins.

Bomb the fish by the lake, electric arrow and electric fish.

It can be said that as long as you want, you can play all kinds of tricks.

But if you play in depth, the four heroes and the changes in Hyrule over the century after the invasion by Ganon still make players very emotional.

In particular, the plot is not at all as many players think it is.

It has a very complete main story.

Especially Princess Zelda who looks like a tool man.

For the princess Zelda, in fact, many players are not impressed at first.

After all, in addition to the old king, there are also brief narrations and some profile descriptions.

There is very little reference to Princess Zelda throughout the game.

This also led many players to joke about why the game is called "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Because Princess Zelda is a legend at all.

Especially after experiencing the story of the Four Heroes.

The lovable Miss Mifa, the outspoken Darkel, the incomparably arrogant Libal and the heroic Urboza.

After learning about their past stories, the four heroes with different personalities can clearly feel their charm.

In contrast, Link and Zelda, who are the protagonists, seem to be not so brilliant.

Among them, Link is not bad, after all, he is the protagonist manipulated by the players.

It controls Link to use all kinds of inappropriate rogue operations, which can also allow players to substitute in to some extent.

But Zelda has many players who ignore her.

Because in the game, the stories about Zelda go hand in hand, and players need to collect them.

Find the place where Link and Zelda once had memories.

There is no so-called indicator for this task. You can only rely on the player to run all over Hyrule, and then compare the photos to find the corresponding place.

It can be said that this task is simply tormenting countless players to death.

Including various strategies on the Internet, they are all pieced together by many players.

Today you found a location and I shared it online.

Tomorrow he found a location and shared it online.

Finally, relying on many players to discover various places in the game, there is a complete strategy.

With these memories and the main line, players finally learned about Zelda, the princess-related story.

Princess Zelda has always believed that as long as others can do things well, they can also do them well.

But in fact it was not, even though she had tried to soak in the Fountain of Courage and prayed to the goddess to the point of collapse, but she still could not get the approval of the elves.

Klink was easily recognized by the Master Sword.

So, every time Zelda sees Link's master sword, she gets stressed out.

And not only that, when he studied the temple, Link, who was the princess' heart, was better than Zelda, who had been studying antiquities, in manipulating divine beasts.

Moreover, it is clear that Princess Zelda has guessed that the Shika Stone in her hand can activate the temple.

But when I put it on, there was no response. This frustration also made Princess Zelda even more anxious, so at this time, Princess Zelda finally couldn't control her emotions and told Link to stop following her.

This also led to the fact that Princess Zelda was chased by the Yigai team because she was not guarded by Link. Fortunately, Link arrived in time to save the princess. At the same time, under the mediation of Sister Urboza, Link understood Zelda's inner knot, and the relationship between the two was eased.

On the way of constantly researching ancient ruins and unlocking mythical beasts, Princess Zelda's relationship with Link also reunited, and began to care about Link and asked him why he had been taciturn.

And through the conversation, Princess Zelda also knew.

It turned out that Link was under pressure because he was already recognized by the Master Sword as a hero, and decided to keep his words quiet and not express his emotions easily.

At this time, Princess Zelda felt that he was so similar to herself.

However, Darkel, who had a thick line on the side, took the princess's mouth so similar, and understood it to be the same as what she likes to eat.

And revealed a setting of Link, that is, Link is a big eater, and he can eat everything.

And this also left a precious memory for the later, which is also one of the few warm pictures in the whole game plot.

Going to the vicinity of the castle in the Kingdom of Hyrule, Zelda already knew that Link was a big eater, so she picked up the frog in her hand and asked Link to swallow it.

In a generous speech, when describing how much help and contribution the frog swallowed to Hyrule.

It can be seen that when Princess Zelda lowered her head and pursed her lips, there was a wicked smile on her face, showing the liveliness and cuteness that should belong to her age.

Here, Princess Zelda and Link are having fun. After all, the two are already very good friends who know each other's secrets.

Of course, in addition to this warm scene, the plant that runs through the game is also mentioned here: the quiet princess.

This flower is beautiful and fragile, and despite Princess Zelda's hard work, it seems inevitable that it will become extinct.

But in the game, when players go to Princess Zelda's research room, they will find a beautiful and quiet princess, which is strong and untimely open here, just like Princess Zelda who is alone in the castle against Ganon.

But the happiness was only short-lived, and soon Zelda fell into a sad mood, because Zelda's pressure not only came from himself, but also from the family.

The king said that Zelda's devotion to antiquities was not a proper job.

But only Zelda understood that no matter how hard she tried, the power of the seal could never be awakened, so she began to study ancient ruins to defeat Ganon.

The appearance of the Four Mythical Beasts and Four Heroes also stemmed from the efforts of Princess Zelda, but even so, those ministers in the palace were still full of gossip, saying that Zelda was an ignorant princess.

However, it is more ironic that players can get two recipes later, which can be known according to the instructions.

Princess Zelda, who likes fruit cakes, is because this recipe will make the mind clear after eating, which is conducive to the study of antiquities.

The ministers liked the monster cake made with monster essence, because after eating it, they would be confused and full of energy.

But in the end all she did was in vain, Ganon was resurrected and killed the four heroes and the king.

It seems that the Hyrule Kingdom is inevitably heading towards its demise.

At this time, Zelda still did not awaken the power of the seal.

'It's all my fault, it's all because I couldn't awaken the power of the seal... That's why the antiquities that were supposed to be used against Ganon were taken away. ’

'I...everything I've done so far...it didn't help, I killed everyone! He killed the nation, killed his companions... killed his father...'

Link escaped from the castle guarding Zelda, and the majestic rain in the forest slapped on Zelda's crying back.

Link took Princess Zelda all the way, surrounded by guardians.

From the Hylaru Plain, across the Twin Mountains, all the way to the vicinity of Kakaliko Village.

However, the battle along the way had severely injured Link, and finally when the guardian searched for the traces of the two and decided to destroy Link with lasers. As if God made a joke to Zelda, in the case of almost losing everything, the power of the seal awakened.

However, in this desperate moment, Princess Zelda found that Link still had a breath left, and the voice of the wizard in the broken master sword instructed Princess Zelda how to save Link's life.

So Zelda made a sober judgment at this time, and arranged for the Shika people who came to bring the Shika Stone to settle Link to the Temple of Recovery. He followed the instructions of the Master Sword, returned to the forest and inserted it back into the pedestal.

Zelda firmly believed that even if Link lost all his memories after awakening, he would still come here and find the Master Sword again.

And she herself moved towards Hyrule Castle by herself to continue the battle with Ganon.

Until Link wakes up.

At first, many players thought that Zelda was just a tool to advance the plot.

Princess? What can be saved?

One hundred years have passed, just wait.

But when players find these lost memories, they feel Zelda's efforts and helplessness.

All players have only one thought, I want to blow Ganon's dog head! I must rescue Zelda!
