Twitch chat can be many things. For small streamers, chat can be a cozy community of friends to talk with while running a game. On larger streams, it brings together a wide range of folks where the occasional troll may spoil the mood. However, when a streamer lets Twitch chat playThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the hot mess that ensues is a guaranteed thing.
