In shrines, after placing the Sheikah Slate to download runes, Hylian text begins to run down the stalactite above it. Portions of the text have been translated to read "NOW LOADING DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR" and "ALL YOUR BASE ARE". The latter phrase is a reference to Zero Wing, a 1989 game infamous for its horrible English dialogue that spawned the iconic phrase "All your base are belong to us".

The opening scene, Spoiler:when Link emerges from the cave where he awakens and overlooks the valley from the Great Plateau, was made to reference the illustration of Link overlooking the cliff from the original The Legend of Zelda.

According to Aonuma, the game was subtitled "Breath of the Wild" instead of being based on a character or an item because the development team wanted the title to reflect the nature and expansiveness of the world in the game.

During the final battle in the Japanese version, Spoiler:a voiceover from Zelda states that the monstrous form that Calamity Ganon assumes is due to his obsession with maintaining his longevity. However, in the English localization, Spoiler:Zelda claims that this form is the result of him abandoning his ambitions for reincarnation and giving into his primal rage, which directly contrasts the Japanese script.

This also opens up a plot hole with Spoiler:Zelda's dialogue in the game's ending, where she says that "Ganon is gone for now" (emphasis added), implying that he will reincarnate anyway (as is the case in other entries, including the game's sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom); in the Japanese version, she simply says that "the threat of calamity has passed."
