- Yes. It needs no prior series knowledge and explains its systems through play rather than tutorials. It is a common first Zelda for new Switch owners.
- How does it differ from Tears of the Kingdom?
- Tears of the Kingdom is the direct sequel, set on the same map with added sky and underground layers and building and fusion abilities. Breath of the Wild is the simpler, more focused starting point.
