The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild ser ganske imponerende ud, men til trods for at være blevet fremvist tonsvis af gange, så ved vi faktisk meget lidt om spillets baggrund.
Dette ændrer sig dog nu, da baggrunden er blevet afsløret via en oversættelse fra et kort, som hører med i spillets Special Edition.
Teksten på kortet er skrevet på et særligt opfundet sprog kaldet Sheikah, og efter at have fået et hurtigt glimt af teksten under en Nintendo Treehouse-udsendelse, har oversætteren Zeltik oversat det hele med en fejlprocent på 4%.
Advarsel: Der kan være tale om spoilers
"Hylians pass stories of a destined time long past where multiple races lived and worked together in harmony. The Sheikah Tribe's blue aura breathed through the land and this mutual prosperity continued until a cataclysmic disaster stuck. The Hero and the Princess attempted to seal the terror which became known as the Calamity Ganon. Divine beasts awoke from four directions and deployed a mechanical army which made the King and his people fearful. They fractured Ganon's power and sealed him but the Sheikah were banished from the land ever since"
