The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo, released in 2017 for the Switch and the Wii U. Link wakes after a hundred years of sleep to a ruined Hyrule and sets out to defeat Calamity Ganon, in an open world that can be explored in almost any order from the start.

Climbing, gliding, cooking and physics-based puzzles in 120 shrines replace much of the series' structure, and four Divine Beasts form its main dungeons. Two DLC packs, The Master Trials and The Champions' Ballad, followed.

An early static recompilation of the Switch version for Windows and Linux is listed below.
