Happy anniversary to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!

As Breath of the Wild rings in its birthday, the Internet is in full-swing of celebrating the Switch's first Zelda game and all it's impacted over the last year!

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of Nintendo Switch. It is also the first day gamers around the world were able to traverse the dangers and adventures of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It both represents a past we love and cherish and proves that the Switch is a solid system for enjoying full, open world adventure games. BotW has had a great impact on a lot of our lives this past year.

We're celebrating BotW's birthday this weekend, which got us thinking: is there a particular aspect of Breath of the Wind that's taken your breath (some pun intended) away? Maybe there's a specific feature or level design that's changed the way you looked at the game altogether? :yes::heart::thinking::gold-star: Let me know what your thoughts are!

Happy Birthday to The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild!

I waited 5 years for this game about an elf fighting pig monsters. Apparently, I needed this game about an elf fighting pig monsters.
It's the best game about an elf fighting pig monsters that I've ever played.
Thanks💚 pic.twitter.com/pOOuA0E3Y2

Happy Nintendo Switch Anniversary! What a lovely first year. Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are some of my favorite games ever.
Can't wait for another year of titles, screaming, losing sleep over hype, and sharing the joy. pic.twitter.com/LvIoWFOR3K

By the end of this week Breath of the Wild will be a year old. It's crazy to think already a year has past. I feel like for most my time on YT I've been making videos on this game from when it was known as "Zelda Wii U" to it's release. Can't wait to do it all again for the next!

Seit einem Jahr gibt es The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild und ich hab es endlich durchgespielt. Als nächstes Spiel steht jetzt ein klassisches Zelda mit The Minish Cap an. Oder würdet ihr mir ein anderes Zelda empfehlen? . . . #thelegendofzeldabreathofthewild #breathofthewild #thelegendofzelda #tloz #tlozbotw #theminishcap #zelda #gba #gameboyadvance #classicgames #classicgaming

A year ago the most perfect game graced our existence, The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild became an instant success, and stole my heart even before it was released, I went on to cosplay several renditions of characters within the game, @nintendo made that pretty easy with so many looks to choose from 💙 . . The day the game was released I premiered my first cosplay into the series, a collab with @scifeyecandy, who crafted the tunic and corset, I made the Shiekah Slate, the belt and nodded the boots!
