Kylie Jenner has revealed her growing interest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild during a recent appearance on the Therapuss podcast.

Jenner spoke to Jake Shane about her experience playing the Nintendo title and described herself as relatively new to the long-running Zelda franchise. Discussing her familiarity with the games, she said, “Still kind of new.”

The television personality and entrepreneur focused primarily on Breath of the Wild during the conversation and explained that she has enjoyed exploring the game despite not fully understanding every part of its story and characters.

Jenner also joked about occasionally mixing up character names while discussing the fantasy series.

Clips from the podcast appearance quickly circulated online, with fans reacting to Jenner’s enthusiasm for the game. The discussion also highlighted how major entertainment figures continue to publicly share their interest in gaming culture and popular franchises.

Jenner did not confirm which gaming platform she used to play Breath of the Wild, nor did she mention whether she had played other entries in the franchise, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The Legend of Zelda series, developed by Nintendo, remains one of the company’s most influential gaming franchises. Since its debut in the 1980s, the series has become known for its fantasy storytelling, open-world exploration and recurring characters including Link, Princess Zelda and Ganon.

Breath of the Wild, originally released in 2017, is widely regarded as one of the franchise’s most successful entries and played a major role in shaping modern open-world game design. The game gave players more freedom in exploration and puzzle-solving compared with earlier titles in the series.

Jenner’s comments come as gaming culture continues to gain visibility across mainstream entertainment, with several celebrities recently discussing their favourite titles and gaming experiences in interviews and podcasts.
