Zelda's Legend In order to enjoy the newly-released VR mode on Breath of the Wild, you will need the Nintendo Switch Zelda's Legend of Breath of the Wild VR goggles.



First, before starting the game, with the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild selected on the Nintendo Switch home screen, press the '+' button and proceed to 'Update Software'-> 'Update on the Internet' You VR mode can be played with 'Ver 1.6.0' or later of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. As version information is displayed in the red frame at the bottom of the title, please check it.



After updating to 'Ver 1.6.0' or later, open the game system screen and select 'Option'.



Then select 'Do not use VR goggles' for VR goggles.



Then, the screen below will be displayed, so select 'Use'.



As precautions for using VR goggles are displayed, check carefully and then select 'OK'. When using VR goggles, take a space so as not to hit people or objects around you, and sit and use it. And it is recommended to take a break moderately. It is also warned that children under the age of 6 should not use it.



So, it feels like this when it comes to VR mode. With the exception of VR goggles, the two game screens can not be viewed, but by viewing the left and right game screens separately with the left and right eyes, VR Kit goggles of the VR Kit realize

stereoscopic vision , such display It becomes. Therefore, if you capture the game screen in VR mode, the same two game screens will be shot as shown below.



When this happens, remove the Joy-Con from the Nintendo Switch main body ......



Insert only the body into the VR goggles.



After setting the Nintendo Switch to VR goggles, set the Joy-Con on the left and right again. Now you are ready to play.



At the time of play, hold the Joy-Con on the left and right as shown below, and look through the VR goggles. I was thinking 'I'm having trouble operating' before play because Joy-Con comes to the side of the face, but I do not feel the inconvenience that I thought I actually tried to operate, and if I play a little I was able to get used to the operation in VR mode.



The first thing I felt when I actually played it was that the effects of stereoscopic vision and the perspective of objects were felt more clearly than in the normal mode. For example, if you stand by bushes as follows, it is felt that there is bushes in front of the link more firmly and three-dimensionally than in the normal mode. By expressing the sense of depth more three-dimensionally instead of expressing the sense of perspective only by the shade of color, it is possible to feel the land of the Hailar more familiar.



The operations in the VR mode and the normal mode are exactly the same, but all information except life disappears from the game screen and disappears, so it is not necessary to open the map exactly which direction you are facing You will not be able to confirm.



Not only that which exists in the foreground, but also the sense of distance with the tower seen in the back seems to have become farther than in the normal mode.



In addition to enjoying the whole game in VR mode, the game camera is linked to the movement of the Nintendo Switch, so if you shake your head in the real world the orientation of the game camera will also change.



In addition, a hole is opened on the top surface of the VR goggles ...



It is also possible to use the earphone while using the VR goggles.



You can immerse yourself in the legendary world of Zelda by playing with earphones.



However, VR goggles are not headsets, so you should always keep them fixed on your head with your hands. Therefore, there is the biggest problem that the arm gets tired quickly in a few minutes of play. Even if there is a controller on the side of the face, it doesn't matter so much, but only fatigue of the arm makes it hard to play it, even if it's a long play or even a 30 minute play, the arm pulls.



Therefore, the method of sitting and playing on an office chair with an elbow and so on was developed as follows. You can minimize arm fatigue by playing with elbows as follows, and you can move the view smoothly by rotating the office chair.



On the official blog , technical director Doda writes, 'When there is something you care about, such as a scenic spot, a favorite character, or a favorite equipment, I recommend you to play with VR goggles.' However, since the dissatisfaction on the operation side was not so big when I actually played in the VR mode, the impression that it is possible to enjoy the main part in the VR mode.



With VR goggles support, Zelda's legendary Breath of the Wild is an overall impression of increased three-dimensionality and realism, and the map and temperature information disappear from the screen, so you are more immersed in the scenery and actions in the game I can do it. Bocobrin and Reinel's brute force in front of their eyes is more than normal mode, and I would like to try once for the brave men who have already finished their adventures in hilars. Since the VR mode is realized by further dividing the Nintendo Switch portable mode screen, which can not be said to have a high resolution to a flattering resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, into two, the high definition of the image is Keep in mind what you can not expect.



In order to get VR goggles, you need 'Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit' or 'Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit Chobitto Edition', and the VR Kit for Amazon is 7591 yen and Chobitto Edition is for 3700 yen. It is available for purchase.
