The Great Plateau is an area from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a 2017 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo. It acts as the game's opening area and tutorial, teaching the player the game's basic mechanics. In contrast to tutorials in previous Zelda games, the Great Plateau is largely exploration based and encourages them to experiment and go about their own path. The tutorial finishes once the player completes four shrines lingered throughout the plateau, before the player character, Link, is given a paraglider that allows him to safely leave the plateau.
