Fans of the Nintendo Switch, especially The Legend of Zelda, are getting a delightful gift today. The Breath of the Wild Explorer Guide, which was usually only available for purchase with the game’s Explorer’s Edition, is now absolutely free for everyone.
On the Japanese company’s website, it is possible to get the unique guide, full of useful tips and facts, for free in PDF form. Party!
Free Zelda gift for Nintendo Switch fans
Those who feel like picking up their Nintendo Switch again and want to rediscover The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are in for a treat right now. Thanks to the Explorer Guide, it is possible to experience the game, which first appeared in 2017, in a completely new way.
Indeed, the guide contains all sorts of useful tips that, through screenshots, are incredibly easy to follow. You’ll learn almost everything about Hyrule, the world where the game is set, and discover things you didn’t see before.
However, there is a slight difference between the free PDF and the physical version that Nintendo Switch gamers have. Indeed, pages 73 through 84 seem to be missing. Why exactly this is the case, we do not know.
What we do know is that the present should obviously warm fans up for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The follow-up to Breath of the Wild will be released May 12 for the Nintendo Switch.
