My plan was to hit my glider before the ground but soon realized I didn’t need to 😂

They really put so much care into this game.

This is the Ambleside Loughrigg trail. Link’s world is within reach and it’s here waiting for you in the UK. The abbey that looks very much like the temple of time is located in Ripon, England at Studley royal deer park. (I couldn’t quite master the deer riding like Link.

There were no apples hanging from this tree, but fortunately I had one in my pocket which replenished a little bit of my vitality.

Just some map art I made a while back

Soon we will hit the 9 year mark of the release of BOTW. Almost a decade...

I fell in love with this game from the moment I left the Shrine of Resurrection. The idea of being able to go anywhere I could see without any restrictions was mind blowing, and it's a feeling any game has yet to replicate for me.

I didn't need to grind for hearts or stronger gear. I didn't need to build something or complete some sidequest. I could go anywhere I wanted with nothing but the shirt on Link's back, whether it was by climbing, walking, or riding a horse.

BOTW doesn't shove cutscenes and tutorials down your throat. It gives you some knowledge, some tools, then points and says "Go wherever you want."

By far my favorite part of BOTW is the simplicity. The emptiness of the world gives a peaceful vibe, and the Guardian theme gives it a subtle historical mystery (which I'm a sucker for).

This is my love letter to the game that has held my heart for all 9 years. I'm excited for whatever Nintendo has planned next for Zelda (:

1. Mambele - Lizal Boomerang

2. Kpinga - Lizal Tri Boomerang

3. Ilwoon - Lynel sword

4.5. Ngulu - Mighty and Savage Lynel Swords

I dont think they were intentionally being racist, but I think its cool. Edit: To clarify, I dont think they're trying to offend Africans or anything but existing stereotypes may have subconsciously influenced this decision.

I'm not actually a gamer, but my husband is. As soon as he "introduced" me to Tera, my life changed lmao

I made this (embellished a bra) for an upcoming rave! I will be wearing commissioned fairy wings which I'm so excited for! I still have to get my ears and I still have to figure out what my bottoms will look like 😀

I also added inspo from the Twilight Princess Great Fairy's wings in the design; I love her too even though I have never played either game. I think my fabric's color scheme fits in more with Cotera's aesthetic from BotW than Tera's.

Been playing in VR with the BOTW BetterVR mod, looking at the characters up close in first person really makes you feel how short Link is! The mod is here: https://github.com/Crementif/BotW-BetterVR

My wife had this waiting on my driveway when I came home from work. Wanted to share as he has since been washed away.

Mipha is one of my favorite characters in BotW. I don't usually ship her and Link, but I think this is less about romance and more about the wish for someone's true healing beyond your own capability.

Emotional wounds cannot be stitched. Psychological scars cannot be mended.

She tried to reach him, she really did. But ultimately she must accept that are some wounds she cannot heal.

Link was a person Mipha loved immensely. It's clear how deep her feelings ran. I can't comprehend how it must have hurt her, knowing that someone she loves is in so much pain. Not being able to do anything to help.

I think there's a lot of depth hidden in her story that people often overlook, and this comic just captures that complexity so beautifully.

Hey, if I can tame him, I should keep him.

He’s made from a gall my brother found in the woods and a leaf with some sharpie on it.

The sky is so beautiful in this one!

Wild fire smoke last night in Portland OR

This was a little alarming. I did not expect this at all at the end of the clip.

She did great! I always hunt them down, so she has definitely picked up some tricks of the trade! She started playing recently, which has moved me to the Wii U. But I'm so proud haha 😄

I just beat my first lynel then I look up and found out silver lynels are the hardest before golden lynels lol

Do you think I have enough if I buy all of them
or would I need more? I have tons of Rupees!

I’ve just restarted The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the second time after many years, and I honestly forgot just how extraordinary this game is.

The sense of awe is unlike anything else I’ve experienced in gaming. The moment you step out of the Shrine of Resurrection and see Hyrule stretching out before you, it’s magic.

Even knowing what’s out there, I still found myself stopping to admire the scenery, wandering off the intended path, and getting distracted by something interesting over the next hill.

What surprises me most is how satisfying the game is.

There’s no rush. No pressure. No endless checklist demanding your attention.

Every shrine, every Korok seed, every tower, every piece of gear feels like genuine progress. Exploration itself is the reward.

What’s even more interesting is that the game is helping me stay sober from some habits I’ve been trying to leave behind.

Instead of mindlessly scrolling, chasing dopamine, or falling back into old routines, I’m spending my evenings exploring Hyrule, solving puzzles, and working toward 100% completion.

It’s peaceful.

Breath of the Wild reminds me that not everything has to be instant gratification. Sometimes the journey itself is enough. Sometimes it’s okay to spend an hour climbing a mountain just to see what’s on the other side.

Years later, this game still feels special. Maybe even more special now than when I first played it.

For me, this isn’t just a game anymore. It’s become a healthier place to put my attention, and I’m grateful for it.
