Breath of the Wild

Map used for climates. Check "Field Map Areas" on the object map for more details

In Breath of the Wild, several different types of Weather can be encountered throughout Hyrule Kingdom. The Weather changes dynamically, with most locations subject to clear or overcast Weather as well as Rain and Thunderstorms. At lower temperatures (especially at higher elevations), Rain will turn into Snow.

The current Weather is indicated by a forecast to the left of the Mini-Map. The Sheikah Slate's Map also displays the current Weather. Every four in-game hours, the Weather of a given area will change.

While not part of the dynamic weather system, certain areas may have Winds or Raging Winds. Similarly, colder areas are known as Freezing Climates, where Snow and Cold Water is common. Eldin and the Gerudo Desert both suffer from excessive Heat, which is caused by their Scorching Climate and Extremely Hot Zones, respectively. Portions of the Gerudo Desert also feature Sandstorms.

Hyrule Kingdom is divided into 94 small "map areas" that are linked to one of the twenty predefined "climates." The name of Link's current map area can be seen in the System menu while Saving. Climates have different appearance rates for each Weather type and may be shared across different map areas. The following table links the unique identifier of each map area to its associated climate.[4]

  • ClimateTemperatureDay_0900 air temperature during the day between 900 and 1000 meters high (in °C)
  • [...]
  • ClimateTemperatureDay_0000 air temperature during the day between 0 and 100 meters high (in °C)
  • ClimateTemperatureNight_1000 : air Temperature during the night at more than 1000 meters high (in °C)
  • [...]
  • ClimateTemperatureNight_0000 : air temperature during the night between 0 and 100 meters high (in °C)
  • IgnitedLevel : 1 if the air is burning hot, 2 if the air is even hotter. 0 otherwise.
