The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1990)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a 1990 narnia book written by C. S. Lewis.
A painting of a ship on Lucy and Edmund Pevensie's bedroom wall begins to move, and the two children, along with their sour cousin Eustace, tumble through it into the cold sea of Narnia. Aboard the Dawn Treader they find King Caspian sailing east past the edge of the known map, hunting for seven lords lost in his uncle's reign. Reepicheep, a valiant talking mouse, keeps his own reasons for the voyage. Island by island they press toward the world's end, where the water tastes of light. C. S. Lewis writes wonder plainly, and the sea keeps giving.

A few thoughts on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild shares the pull of an open horizon and islands that reward the curious, the same wandering wonder that drives the Dawn Treader east. The 2010 film adaptation carries the voyage to screen with its ships and sea beasts intact, a fair next stop for anyone who wants to watch the map unroll.
Setting sail toward a wondrous, uncharted edge of the map
The Dawn Treader sails past every marked line on Caspian's map, chasing seven lost lords into water that eventually tastes of light. The film adaptation puts that same voyage on screen, Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 4 send their own treasure hunters through equally hostile, beautiful territory, and Breath of the Wild rewards anyone willing to sail, climb, and explore every last corner of a ruined kingdom.
Episodic journeys where a found-family crew stops at one strange place after another
Caspian's crew never stays anywhere long, island-hopping from one strange discovery to the next with Reepicheep's nerve holding the group together. Saiyuki sends its own mismatched party from one haunted town to another, Inuyasha's group crosses a whole era one battle at a time, xxxHolic wanders between shops and worlds on its own errands, and Sailor Moon's team faces down one new threat per outing.
Wide-eyed portal fantasy where ordinary kids slip into a much bigger world
Lucy and Edmund step through a painting into Narnia the same way earlier books stepped through a wardrobe or a ring. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian send their own Pevensies into that same country, The Magician's Nephew shows how the wood between the worlds got there in the first place, and Northern Lights opens an entirely different set of parallel worlds for Lyra to cross.
