The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s open-world has led to many discoveries years after its release in 2017 - including a recent glitch, which comes from a player who found a simpler way to enter a first-person perspective without using the Master Cycle DLC. While glitches in games with such cast open worlds are seemingly inevitable, BOTW developers deliberately left some entertaining glitches in the game.
While Breath of the Wild is a largely third-person experience, the idea of exploring the world of Hyrule (or other Nintendo titles) in first-person is appealing to some; so much so, that in 2019, Nintendo released a pair of VR goggles as a part of the Nintendo Labo collection. However, it didn’t fulfill expectations. Thankfully, a team of talented modders are working on a Breath of the Wild VR experience that will. Until that mod comes out though, there is another way to get a glimpse of the game through a first-person perspective.
Thanks to Reddit , Diamond-Herobrine, it is now known that players can enter a first-person view - a feat previously only thought possible with the Master Cycle, a vehicle only available after purchasing the DLC content in Breath of the Wild. The post includes a video of the glitch and how to accomplish it, showing a complicated array of inputs that lead to the change in perspective. Diamond-Herobrine assures s in the comments that it is not as difficult as the video might make it look, but it's safe to say this still might not be for beginners.
Unfortunately, as interesting as this glitch sounds, it cannot stay active throughout the game. As another pointed out in the comments, this first-person view won’t last through combat and other in-game events. Players can still throw weapons in this mode, but anything that would normally deactivate the camera rune, such as running, jumping, or swinging a sword will bring the original third-person perspective back. This might not be as practical as some other Breath of the Wild glitches, but it does offer a unique perspective that some have been hoping to see.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's staying power seems to be stay consistent with each ing year, and its gameplay is still driving players to discover more about its intricacies and potential glitches. The way this game is played has changed over the years in part due to such exploration efforts, and such an approach might be able to withstand the test of time even after the Breath of the Wild sequel comes out.
