The entire story of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom explained in a cinematic style. Follow Link, the Hero of the Wilds, and Zelda, Hyrule's Divine Princess, as they defend their Kingdom from not only Calamity Ganon, but Ganondorf, the Demon King himself.

This video is a remastered compilation of my previous Breath of the Wild Story Explained & Tears of the Kingdom Story Explained (Parts 1, 2, and 3) videos - brought together to celebrate the launch of the Switch 2 Editions of these open-world adventures.
