Zelda Breath of the Wild VR update: How to play Zelda in VR mode step-by-step
How Zelda Breath of the Wild's full VR mode works. Guide by Matthew Reynolds Managing Editor Updated on 26 Apr 2019 8 comments Zelda Breath of the Wild VR is arguably the most interesting use of Labo VR yet - the opportunity to play 2017's best game in virtual reality. There's some slight caveats to how it works, whether you want to dip in during select moments of play the game in its entirety, it's entirely possible to play Zelda Breath of the Wild with your Labo VR headset - even if we would argue it isn't really VR at all.

Now disconnect one of the Joy-Cons so the Switch can slide into the Labo VR headset, then reattach it when it's in place. Now look into the goggles - Zelda: Breath of the Wild will now be playable in VR!

If you're curious exactly how well Zelda VR runs, Digital Foundry will deliver a report on the mode in the coming days. You can continue to use your existing save data - there's no need to start over. This could be the perfect opportunity to polish off any final Zelda shrines or Zelda DLC.

You can use head tracking while playing to look at scenes around you. If you prefer not to use this - instead using Labo VR as a stereoscopic view - turn off 'Aim with Motion Controls' in the Options menu. Control-wise, you have to play holding the Joy-Cons to the side of the Switch as Labo VR doesn't offer a headstrap.

We assume this is to stop players head tracking to locations they otherwise could not. Once you are done, remember that a Mario Odyssey VR is also available as well - it's not the same complete experience as Zelda, but instead a dedicated mode and theatre viewing experience - and, again, is free to existing owners of the game.
