I have heard quite a few times that the story in the new Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is short. While that may be true that the in game story is short, the full story is actually the biggest in Zelda history. Where is this story you ask, well it's hidden in the gameplay.
One could make an argument that this is just fanfiction or it's not an in game story, but to that I say,
It actually happened so it's not fiction.
And
It isn't an in game story, but it became a part of the story. For you see the story is in the journey, and everyone's journey is different. Breath of the Wild lets you take your own journey, to create your own story for the game.
Allow me to tell you but one tale I have experienced in the game. The
tale of the Search of the Leviathan Skeleton of the Hebra Region.
One of the quests in The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is the search for the three giant leviathan skeletons of Hyrule. While I was able to find the ones in Gerudo Desert and Death Mountain with ease using the map, finding the leviathan of the Hebra Region was no simple task.
