The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild may be one of the greatest video games of all time. Not only because it is a gorgeous game that allows players to explore in a massive world with endless moments of awe-inspiring creativity, but because each of those occasions can be shared with one another and every player has unique stories to tell about Breath of the Wild.
Recently, a YouTuber named RinHara5aki uploaded a video for Breath of the Wild that is truly special. The nearly 11-minute cinematic focuses on extremely impressive combat skills. Recently a video was shown where a player took down a Golden Lynel with impressive fashion; this video was in that ilk, but with cinematography that may make Hollywood blush.
The video starts out with a cutscene from Breath of the Wild between Link and Zelda, as Zelda pleads for the assistance of her hero. The heroine in her own right does deserve to be playable, perhaps in the upcoming sequel. Once the sequence is complete, four different players then set off on combative glory against countless high-end enemies in vivid colors and explosive spectacle. The video uses footage from YouTubers Kleric, CHC Yu-Da, Peco, and RinHara5aki.
Players have been pulling off amazing, silly, and ridiculous stunts within the game since the moment it released in 2017. Recently someone managed to beat Breath of the Wild without walking, something that is extremely impressive considering the game is so freeing and all about movement. RinHara5aki's combat montage alone shows this.
Breath of the Wild is considered one of the best games of the decade; in 2017 it received a 97 on Metacritic, which is nearly unheard of. The experiences like the video shared here are part of the reasons why. The fact that one player can enjoy the story of the game, one player can explore the beautiful world, someone else can beat the game without walking, and another can create a combat montage that hundreds of thousands enjoy is a testament to a game that is a different kind of special.
The rumors of Breath of the Wild 2 paint a beautiful picture, and if the sequel is anything like the original, fans will be playing it for years to come and creating endless stories to share with each other. That may be a part of the magic of Nintendo that is hard to fully grasp. It doesn't just create video games, it creates endless stories.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
