The Legend of Zelda

Core Gameplay Loop:

1. Awaken and Explore: Start in the Great Plateau. Learn the basic controls, acquire the Sheikah Slate and its core runes. This area acts as a microcosm of the larger world.
2. Activate Towers: Climb towering structures scattered across Hyrule to unlock sections of the map on your Sheikah Slate. This reveals topography and helps with navigation.
3. Discover Shrines: Over 120 “Shrines of Trials” are hidden across Hyrule. These serve as mini-dungeons, containing puzzles that test your Rune abilities, combat challenges against robotic Guardians, or simple blessing shrines. Completing shrines earns “Spirit Orbs,” which can be exchanged for heart containers (health) or stamina vessels.
4. Complete Quests: Engage in Main Quests that advance the story, side quests given by NPCs that offer rewards and flesh out the world, and Shrine Quests that lead to hidden shrines.
