The Making of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Video - The Beginning 

Sedona Urias-Ramonett ikr same

For me The Witcher 3 and Zelda are the most incredible experience I've ever had!

Sedona Urias-Ramonett no skyrim

Sedona Urias-Ramonett bought myself a switch with botw and my poor Xbox 1 has collected dust since then hahaha

speed sLays its lame how the weapons break

What can you say? That's essential.

@@lugbzurg8987 no cucos, no zelda

@@coricos9849 What about Wind Waker?

Loren Lugosch obviously that’s essential

@@selena3467 To be fair it had the pigs on Windfall Island that attacked you when hitting them enough times. But yeah, no cuccos on Wind Waker..

Every single one of the names is different in Spanish and other languages. "Maz Koshia" is "Makkosh"

@@jinnans_gd no way

@@Penguinman2.0 Yes. Also 100th like!

@@krizi4970 that’s just insane

Apparently all of the monk names are the names of the devs that worked on the game, but in reverse.

I Know right I'm super excited. I was thinking today if they showed Zelda at E3 2019 I was going to flip. What does Nintendo do? they show Zelda at E3 2019. I'm basically like 😵🤯😲😀😃😆 YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stop thinking about it, I'm a super nerd for Zelda.

I want to interview Aonuma sans

@@strickerarts and on top of that they don't JUST show Zelda. They show the sequel to one of the greatest Zelda's of all time.

@@DZlegend yes indeed oh man I can't wait!!!😁😆

it's not BOTW2 it's a DLC, stop with that. please

Praise the chicken overlord!

Jinsei Cast Arise Chicken!

not my fault. it hurts

And why shouldn't you go to jail? #ChickenLivesMatter

i'm already dead

If it's not fun, why bother

I get more of a sense that the Nintendo programmers, artists and game designers take their job VERY seriously and takes game design VERY seriously, unlike another company where the programmers just seem to do it for a paycheck and the game designers and artists deep down inside want to make Hollywood movies.

And to make a truly epic story and gaming experience.

@@Molybed1 in all fairness a lot of companies treat their developers horribly, it speaks well to Nintendo that designers and programmers are not only willing, but able to put their heart into the games

@@Molybed1 another aspect is even legends are paid moderately. Miyamoto was getting a salary a less than $2m. Furukawa was a bit over $2m. Compare that to what execs in US get -about $30 for Activision CEO. The amount leaders get over the lowest paid is also a great factor in employee morale and sense of belonging.

the voice acting does not blow you away lmao

how do you not get tired of it? the entirety of the game is shrines and korok seeds and stupid-simple fetch quests. it has no depth. the game never rewards you for exploring random places bc you always know what you'll find.. either a dumb weapon or one of those things. take a game like elden ring for comparison. you literally never know what you're gonna find... a boss? a new type of enemy? a new weapon with interesting skills? a new spell? a new skill that changes the way you play? an intricate character-driven story quest? environmental details that blow you away and tell a small piece of a the lore of the world? a cave? an entire new MAP underground? a castle? a village? a dungeon? so many possibilities that can change the way you're playing the game in unexpected ways. zelda is incredibly flat and predictable by comparison.

@@andrew5222 if you hate botw so much, why are you watching a video about its development 🤨

Same.

Same Been gaming since 1987 and Breath of the Wild is not only the best Zelda ever made but the best game ever made. Can’t think of anything that comes close to it really. And I doubt we’ll ever have that experience again even if games like Tears of the kingdom will be more advanced. Botw completely reimagined how a Zelda game plays. The music, the weapon breaking mechanic, the graphics and most of all gameplay. Absolute genius all of it.

Imagine the materials that they left on the cutting floor for a third game or even a whole new game. I'm really curious what the next Zelda game might be after ToTK.

MrSailing101 it's an idea for a Zelda game set in a more modern era certainly!

Or post apocalyptic? hrm...a dystopian Zelda where a modern Hyrule fell after Ganon returned unexpected and all tecbology failed to stop him...

MrSailing101 the other concepts that were also shown at GDC tells me that they need a bit more time to be comfortable making a modern or a different era Zelda.

At least they recycled part of the cyborg design as the basis for the phantom blights.

bet whoever designed that must of played Metal gear Phantom pain

I switch languages while I'm playing based on which actor I like best for character.

haha les francais sont bon aussi

French and Japanese Zelda sound super cute so I play in those languages.

Honestly i was super surprised when i heard my mothertongue in BoTW speedruns...

@@dragaudric9498 Same, usually french's sentences are longer than english or japanese. First speedrun I see that it's optimal in french

I've opted not to beat the game because I enjoy exploring the vast world. There's places I'm discovering or rediscovering and things to do that just amazes me.

@@thorshuatus Even if you beat the game it still lets you play after without any restrictions, and there's actually some cool stuff that unlocks if you do.

ItsAllAboutGuitar ikr i bought a switch, botw, and a 64 gb sd card for $344 and i went into zelda with low expectations but thats all ive been playing now.

ItsAllAboutGuitar for real, this game is actually the only reason i bought the switch. odyssey came out and that was a plus but this is still what made the switch so successful imo

Same.

Which is a good topic that proves a system is only as good as it's games. We need more classic titles ported to the switch. Imagine getting all the Zelda titles playable on the switch. Getting n64 games and snes games ported over. There are a few arcade classics but we need much more Nintendo!

Agreed!

Hazel Frazzle Oh you’re right! That takes some of the burden off then haha.. Either way I’m SUPER excited ^^

@@irisd-n3435 the reason this game took long is cause they has to build its engine and physics by scratch. Now the story will be much more of a focus as they have all the assets needed.

They are going to reuse some buildings, the map is going to be the same and they are going to be new buildings etc...

@@zelda9655, same map will be quite underwhelming. I have literally explored the map twice if not thrice.

@@jeffthegamerboy3476 I could imagine that in the sequal (or prequal) you are gonna be much more in caves or in new land. (there is more land past gerudo desert)

same.

Me too.

cap

@@johnxina7496 eh?

@@buttonsbox2476 not the best zelda

you can play ocarina of time with the switch also, with the expansion subscription you get many old games, its pretty fun

Don’t forget the sequel to botw is coming out soon!

@@freddiepepper6085 yep, and I’ve purposely stayed away from every ounce of leaks or info about the game, just as I did with BOTW. I want to enter this new journey the way the developers intend for it to be experienced - no prior knowledge. I’m the same way with movies. I don’t watch trailers or read anything about a film (even it’s synopsis) because I don’t want the film to tell the story, not some marketing employee or film critic or involved actor.

​@@davidswanson5669 I still haven't played botw as I'm waiting for the sequel because I feel like I have already seen every nook and crannie of the game through RU-vidrs streamers etc Im hoping to play it after totk

@@davidswanson5669 Bruh, I thought for a sec that this was my comment. Yeah, everything just seems to be spoiler. Sometimes even the title itself.. XD! & There's a really funny skit about this, just search "spoiler Cilvanis" here on yt.

Make the prototype part of the DLC package

Eviscerator18 people make this top comment

I've wanted this ever since they showed it off at GDC. I'd love it as a DLC thing, as a standalone eShop title, whatever. They could even subtitle it "The Hyrule Fantasy."

The prototype would make an excellent spinoff game! I mean think about it, if they worked out any bugs and kinks and turned it into a full exploratory game that's downloadable on the switch for like, $10, then they could make money off that. They can even make it non-canon and just a sort of retelling of Breath of the Wild, right? I hope something like this happens!

Reminds so much of the "Zelda Maker" some people were asking for since Mario Maker.

I cannot use words (or anything else) to describe how much I love this game.

Same😅 I LOVE this game

@@Ian-qm1gz Wait, if its a cool game, why is it bad as a zelda game? Isn't zelda just a franchise. On it's own its pretty good, but as a zelda game it's bad? Wha1t difference does it make?

Eh its okay.

@@dalgusmaximus4557 Thats an unpopular opinion.

@@TheAlibabatree Yeah I know I was just pulling his leg. The game is great.

@@catfinder8601 nah he just said he was baiting so no one smashes his head in

I feel like I’ve seen you before lol

I feel the same. I just finished today and had to return to Hyrule at the last save before killing Ganon to go to a couple shrines I didn't get to. Plus, I like it when the characters thanked me for killing one beast or another. I haven't downloaded the Master Fighter or whatever it's called extension yet.

I know I’m a bit late, (by one year), but there might be a chance with Nintendo direct coming out tmrw

@@ashykinz5162 I want this as well but I'm not think, they show us some Zelda content :/ maybe Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem, some smash bros details, maybe another fighter...

@@ashykinz5162 the game is 2 years old now so you're closer to 2 years late.

Not sure about the endgame. You’ll no longer have any respawns of enemies and weapons.

Yes! Everything about Botw is incredible imo, but the music is just on another level. I literally never listen to video games ost, and i always thought people who did were weird. But i listen to the Botw ost all the time, its other worldly.

Yup, music is incredible. Just not the music when travelling on horse.

@@jeffthegamerboy3476 Lmao I love the horse riding music

It kinda makes me tear up

Yeah it should have been yesterday because it was 11 days after TOTK released and this video was 11 days after BOTW released

100%

Agreed

What competition?

Andre Marcello was

yeah and so much care and thought from the developers to make their audience think and feel in all aspects- sight, ambiance, sound, it’s incredible... also yeah, WHAT competition? 😜

Microsoft:I have Minecraft

@@2001CusinartToaster Nintendo: I have games that have started in the 1980s and are still going today.

I feel the same, friend

Like Cyberpunk?

It’s called open world

Alex Gil Gutierrez Bought Switch couple of days ago and I have to agree with you.

I'd pay $10 for it :)

i'd pay 20

Samuel where ???

but you'd have to pay 50$

I'd pay $50.99

Yes! It so very helpful to have this feature on the switch, my sister and I always change the language setting to have some fun and learn some words :D

Came here to say this!! It was so cool seeing this in retrospect

Yeah!

lol that bribery trick is the reason I got my Wii U this year and BotW (idc what you think about the Wii U its a good console XD)

are you enjoying Tears of the Kingdom? (no spoilers pls) also if you haven't come to Jesus he's the only one that can fully satisfy you :)))

you're asking the huggbees questions now.

No clue what this "huggbees" is, but I think I'll say I'm glad that I don't...

Already did it. This is me commenting from the grave.

DrKendoCommentaries lol

The breath of the wild smells like roasted apples, because those are a thing now.

After today’s trailer, even more tears flowed, can’t wait!

*Same*

Wooo well done, amazing.

you must be 12 now right!

Holy crap teach me ur ways child

NO NO NO NO

it would be announced in 2025

As a Zelda Maker, no less. Think about that, it would be downright a phenomenon, they wouldn't be able to make Switch consoles fast enough to keep up with the demand if a game like that existed.

Steel Tarkus Or imagine a Mario Maker where you could choose from a bunch of different games with all their physcis intact and do crazy things with. I think a Zelda Maker wouldn't work quite as well as Mario Maker simply because making actual dungeons/puzzles would be far too complex for the average guy to mess around with. Far too many MM stages are terrible. Imagine getting a terrible Zelda dungeon...blergh

MARIO KART MAKER! MARIO... *FREAKING* ... KART MAKER! BEST game idea EVER! Build your own race courses! Yes, Nintendo would have to make it easy to select certain track pieces, but imagine mixing elements like Bowser's Castle then flying over Luigi's Mansion, into Peaches castle for the last lap! You choose where the special items will be placed! Who ELSE think this is a BRILLIANT idea?

Or... just port/create sandboxes and creators for the switch so that people can make their own stuff, like Gmod almost, that'd be amazing, and allow the community to share their creations with the world, region freedom, and taking advantage of the engines

As well as add elements from other games, you'd just have to download the resources

BigChap J Link already triggers lady boners. And man boners.

Samu Rönkkö this isn't Samurai Jack

maybe now that Nintendo sees its ok to switch things up and give us new things in zelda, they will give more control to the younger people.

The Gamer Dragon agreed!

The Gamer Dragon Yes but not too much. That alien invasion nonsense needs to be kept in check.

Wow, same. I especially love Majora Mask and replayed it many times. I was so happy when with each playthrough, I could understand more and more of what is being said.

It's never too late for this recommendation これはこれまでに作成された最高のゲームだから !

Falconer 92 ツ What does that say

Silver Something960 *cuz this is the best game ever created !*

I got this in my recommended 2 years ago

Just stop with this comment it has been copied into extinction

YES YES

I'm sure they have a main Metroid title in the works. It's been a while since Prime 3. (2007)

I can see this engine work on so many other games. Revolutionary.

Metroid Prime 4 is being developed.

GunpowderCoffee Story driven and after Metroid Fusion

Yeah like a mini game on the slate

same

DeZrawlitz I hope it comes out soon tbh! I just got into Zelda two months ago, so my switch is on the way 😂😂

I'm just playing through now and in one of the memories Zelda mentions that Link followed his dads footsteps in becoming a knight for Hyrule but that's about it. It's the memory where Zelda is watching Link train under some trees

RweeS That's ocarina of time link.

Zelda's diary in Hyrule Catle and Mipha's diary at Zora's Domain (if you have the DLC) talk about Link's childhood

I wish we could find out how this Link became the hero. Most games he does stuff and becomes the hero, but here he already is.

Greenguy4301 they do tell us in the game

This game and Mario Odyssey were 2 games that had the same magic I felt when I was a little kid playing Wii Mario and Zelda games, which is something I never felt in games in a long time. So I can’t imagine how magical this experience is for kids growing up with it

*pats head* good boy

sooo cute

thats because dogs are one of the very few animals that cant be killed for their meat in the game yet wolves are very killable for some reason.

you know what is dog backwards :O

Who's a good dog.

Ikr, I wanted to say that too.

KoishiWii8 Yeah, as much as Nintendo defines the childhood of many such as myself, Newgrounds was among others *the* shize, my Koishi-appreciating homie.

Hey bro don't say such a warm thanks didn't you see what CDPR did with the Cyberpunk 2077 after we all went extremely soft towards them.

@@muzamilnabinadroo doesnt mean we cant thank developers for a great game. i mean, they worked so hard for near-perfection, the least we can do is thank em

baaaahhhh ;)

SupaPixelGirl No it is a dog

SupaPixelGirl dude you're like in every video I watch

Bryan senpai she likes the attention

SupaPixelGirl Dashie

Really? While it’s a cool idea it just seems like a massive waste of time, energy, and resources. An outline/written plan should work just as well. Though I’d love to be able to play that 2D version as a stand-alone game or as a bonus feature of the main game. Like how Dragon Quest 11 has a feature that lets u play the whole game in a 16 bit SNES style in addition to its modern 3D look.

@@MerkhVisionI ain’t reading that

cough, cough, cyberpunk....

@@adamking5215 oop

@@adamking5215 "Welcome to next generation of open world adventure" Yeah, right..

It's Nintendo's policy not to rush a game and overwork their employees. ....Which kinda ironic consider how toxic the Japanese work culture is.

Cough cough Pokemon

keenan Strauss They did. It is called Breath of the Wild.

11clock I'm saying they could keep it 2d and have a completely different game

keenan Strauss No, they'd have the same game as botw but condensed into 2D.

bearate they could redesign the levels.
