Kylie Jenner said she admires the video game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during a recent podcast appearance [1].
The endorsement from a high-profile celebrity brings mainstream attention to the title's lasting appeal and the growing intersection of celebrity culture and gaming [2].
During an appearance on the podcast Therapuss, Jenner said the game was "one of the best games ever" [1]. She said the game's lore and gameplay were primary reasons for her enjoyment [3].
Jenner also discussed her specific progress within the game's world in a clip that circulated on social media [4]. She said she had already conquered one of the Divine Beasts and was moving on to a second [4].
However, reports regarding her familiarity with the game's mechanics vary. While she spoke of her progress in the podcast, she later apologized for forgetting the Divine Beasts [5].
Despite the contradiction in her mastery of the game's elements, Jenner remains a vocal supporter of the title [1]. The game, developed by Nintendo, is widely recognized for its open-world design, and exploration mechanics [3].
“One of the best games ever”
Jenner's public praise reflects a broader trend of 'lifestyle' celebrities engaging with core gaming titles, potentially expanding the demographic reach of the franchise. While her comments on game mechanics were inconsistent, the visibility of the endorsement serves as a cultural bridge between the luxury fashion world and the gaming community.
