The game is played in an open world environment. Like the original Legend of Zelda, the player is given little instruction and can explore freely. Link can collect items such as armor, weapons, and food, with multiple uses. Scattered across the world are waypoints that the player can warp to, puzzles, and non-player characters that offer advice or side-quests. Breath of the Wild's world is unstructured, rewarding experimentation and allows the story to be completed in a nonlinear fashion.
