Kylie Jenner is the latest celebrity to fall for Nintendo’s acclaimed open-world adventure, revealing on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast that she considers The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild “one of the best games ever.”
In the episode, released around May 14, 2026, the reality star and beauty mogul opened up about her first playthrough of the 2017 title, saying she has been playing for “days and hours” and has already conquered one of the game’s four Divine Beasts while progressing on her second.
Jenner enthusiastically broke down the premise for listeners, albeit with a few beginner mix-ups that she acknowledged. “You are Link. 100 years prior, there was a big war happening with the Fantastic Beasts… I’m so sorry to all the Zelda fans out there, I’m still kind of new,” she said, quickly correcting herself to the proper term “Divine Beasts.”
She continued, describing a Hyrule left in “shambles” after a war with Calamity Ganon, with Princess Zelda holding down Hyrule Castle for 100 years. Jenner noted the role of the corrupted mechanical Divine Beasts and the importance of flashbacks that shed light on Link and Zelda’s relationship, even touching on the long-running fan debate about whether the pair are in love.
The comments mark Jenner’s first major foray into the long-running Zelda franchise. Fans had earlier spotted her playing the game during a recent vacation, leading to speculation that boyfriend Timothée Chalamet may have introduced her to it.
Breath of the Wild is widely praised for its expansive open world, physics-based gameplay, exploration, and sense of discovery. Tackling a Divine Beast is considered a significant milestone for new players, involving region exploration, puzzle-solving inside massive mechanical guardians, and freeing a Champion’s spirit.
Reactions to the podcast clip have been largely positive online, with many longtime fans welcoming Jenner to the community despite some lighthearted commentary on her newcomer status and name slips (including a momentary reference to the villain as “Gandorf”).
