Go west, young horse
ThisZelda: Breath of the Wildhorse video helped patch up what has ostensibly been a rough week for me, in trueBreath of the Wildfashion.
Shared by u_guessed on Reddit, the clip takes a quick and hilarious turn after Link attempts to call back his horse on a riverbank. He whistles…and…nope! The horse immediately turns around, and starts swimming away. Cold as ice.
It’s a fine line, this sort of stuff, butZelda: Breath of the Wildgenerally makes things easy to come back from. In other open-world games, the “emergent” gameplay can often lead to game-breaking bugs or frustration. AndBreath of the Wildhas some of that, to be sure!
But I encountered my fair share of good quirks like this, enough to even help carry multiple playthroughs. If my horse did this in-game, I’d have to put the controller down to have a good laugh. It’s just perfect: the speed and cadence in which it peaces out.
I know five years on, folks are a little tired ofBreath of the Wildstill being in the zeitgeist, but I know a lot of people still get a kick out of it,or even still play it! I salute you all.
