Released in 2017, 'Breath of the Wild' is an instalment in which series of computer games?

'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild' is an action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U consoles. 'Breath of the Wild' is part of 'The Legend of Zelda' franchise and is set at the end of the 'Zelda' timeline. The player controls Link, who awakens from a hundred-year slumber to defeat Calamity Ganon and save the kingdom of Hyrule.

The game was originally planned for release in 2015 as a Wii U exclusive but was delayed twice. Released on March 3, 2017, 'Breath of the Wild' was a launch game for the Nintendo Switch and the final Nintendo-published game for the Wii U.

Similar to the original 1986 'The Legend of Zelda game', players are given little instruction and can explore the world freely. Tasks include collecting various items and gear to aid in objectives such as puzzle-solving or side quests. The world is unstructured and designed to encourage exploration and experimentation, and the main story quest can be completed in a nonlinear fashion.
