00:00Welcome to Hyrule, a vast land where Princess Zelda will journey through her grand adventure.
00:12Hyrule is a land of plentiful abundance.
00:16From the central plateau, where Hyrule Castle stands enfolded by its castle town, to the
00:23outermost reaches, you'll encounter new and interesting people in each of its diverse
00:29regions.
00:31The Gerudo Desert consists of scorching dunes as far as the eye can see, and is prone to
00:36frequent sandstorms.
00:39That's no problem for the women of the Gerudo tribe, though.
00:43There are many ruins full of mysteries here, and an oasis, a great place to relax.
00:52Jabul Waters is home to some of Hyrule's most scenic waterways.
00:57It's also where you can find the Sea Zora and the River Zora, who each reside in their
01:04respective villages.
01:09Though they don't always get along, what could they be fighting about?
01:15Daunting cliffs and lava flows dominate the Eldin Volcano region.
01:21Kakariko Village is nestled at the mountain's base, but you'll have to brave treacherous
01:27trails to reach the home of the Gorons.
01:31Those rocks may look delicious, alas, they are not for Hylians.
01:38The Farron Wetlands are a lush labyrinth of vegetation.
01:43As you wander the jungle, you might come across a Deku Scrub.
01:48Rumor has it these peculiar creatures have a voracious sweet tooth.
01:55During your travels, you're likely to encounter people dealing with problems great and small.
02:04Keep track of quests by browsing your adventure log whenever you'd like.
02:09Helping people with their troubles is a big part of your journey, and wise heroes are
02:14often rewarded for their good deeds.
02:25Objects known as Waypoints are scattered throughout the land.
02:28Once you've discovered one, you can return to it quickly by selecting it on your map.
02:38Even with the benefit of fast travel, getting around Hyrule can prove challenging.
02:44At times like these, why walk when you can ride?
02:49Gallop right over weaker enemies to send them flying, and hop over small obstacles with
02:54ease.
02:55Once you learn to make a carrot echo, you'll be able to call upon your trusty steed from
03:00anywhere in the Overworld.
03:06As you explore, you may come across Smoothie Shops, manned by Business Scrubs.
03:11Here you can blend the ingredients you've collected into delicious drinks.
03:15Smoothies have different effects based on the ingredients you choose.
03:19They're sure to come in handy during your travels.
03:22You can also equip outfits and accessories to enhance your abilities, and to look fashionable
03:30obviously.
03:39Whether you're trekking over rugged plateaus, through winding caves, or other complex locales,
03:49creating echoes is key to success.
03:51But sometimes they may not be enough.
03:54A huge boulder like this cannot be learned as an echo, and your other echoes won't move
03:59it either.
04:00For obstacles like these, Try has got you covered with the power of Bind.
04:09Use it to make even a massive boulder follow Zelda's movement.
04:16Bind can help you unearth buried treasure, or even reposition troublesome enemies.
04:23You can also use Bind on your echoes, so get creative and find ways to forge ahead.
04:31Alternatively, if you want to follow a moving object yourself, you can use Reverse Bond
04:37to go where it goes.
04:39Take advantage of a creature's ability to fly, or to move around quickly.
04:47Swapping between Bind and Reverse Bond is a great way to find clever paths forward.
04:53Let your imagination run wild, and you're bound to come up with all sorts of ideas.
05:00Use Bind in combination with your echoes to overcome obstacles.
05:05Understanding how these two abilities work together will be essential to your progress.
05:19Mysterious rifts are overtaking Hyrule.
05:27What else will Zelda have to contend with in her grand adventure to save her kingdom?
05:35There's only one way to find out.
