Actors are in-game objects. Link, enemies, scenery, weapons, NPCs, shrine interiors are all examples of actors.

In Breath of the Wild, actors are implemented through a combination of code and data such as parameter files (ActorParam), models, physics data, etc. Unlike actors in older Zelda games, BotW actors are composed of reusable components and large parts of functionality can be configured via parameter files.

An actor always has an associated bxml.

Notable actors

Because there are over 8 thousand actors, no complete actor list will be provided on this wiki. For an exhaustive list, have a look at bxml files in Actor/ActorLink (for production actors) or at ActorInfo.product.sbyml, which also includes development-only actors.
