Breath of the Wild guides and walkthroughs should be a last resort. The true power of Nintendo’s latest gem is discovery—not just stumbling upon one of the game’s many mysteries, but the satisfaction of finding your own way through this world and the massive Divine Beasts that serve as the game’s de facto dungeons. More than any other recent game, Breath of the Wild is one you should experience with as little advance knowledge as possible.
Still, everybody gets stuck at one time or another. And there’s a lot to get stuck on in Breath of the Wild . The Divine Beasts can be tricky, with a different central mechanic making each temple adjustable in its own way, and a structure built more on puzzles than combat. If you’re sick of banging your head against a Divine Beast’s ageless walls, let us give you a hand and set you in the right direction.
And don’t fret if you are having trouble finding your way around the intricate innards of the Divine Beasts. It’ll happen to everybody at some point, and here’s the perfect cheat sheet to help you best the beasts, bosses and all, so you can get back to exploring the the rest of the game as soon as possible.
