Your first steps in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Learn how to get the Sheikah Slate, equip starting gear, and begin your grand adventure from the Shrine of Resurrection.

Alright, so you've just woken up in the Shrine of Resurrection, which is basically your tutorial area. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward, and I'll walk you through it!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you can move, head towards the doorway. You'll see a glowing pedestal right next to it. Interact with that pedestal. This will trigger a cutscene and give you your very first important item: the Sheikah Slate. This thing is super important – it's your map, your inventory, your menu, everything! It'll also open the door for you.
  2. 2
    Next up, you'll enter a room with a few treasure chests. Go ahead and open them up to grab the Well-Worn Trousers and an Old Shirt. The game will probably give you a little prompt to equip them, so follow that. Then, find the glowing red pedestal near the door at the bottom of the ramp. You'll need to insert your new Sheikah Slate here to open the next door.
  3. 3
    After that, you'll go through a corridor. There's a little rock formation you'll need to climb over. Once you're past that, just keep going through the door that's leading towards the light. This will take you outside, and you'll get to see the amazing view of Hyrule for the first time. Pretty epic, right?
  4. 4
    Once you're outside and heading down the slope, keep an eye out for a Tree Branch and some Hylian Shrooms. Grab those if you can. As you get closer to the campfire, you'll get your first official quest: 'Follow the Sheikah Slate'.
Tips
  • Don't forget to equip the starting gear you find! It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
  • The Sheikah Slate is your best friend. Get used to checking it often for your map and objectives.
  • Take a moment to just look around when you get outside. The view is incredible and really sets the tone for the adventure ahead.
