Nintendo went all out with its E3 2016 booth and representation of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Believe it or not, the setup actually has a day-night cycle.

Nintendo says that the booth shifts from day to night continuously every 24 minutes. One minute represents an hour, of course. That’s the same cycle from Ocarina of Time and other Zelda games.

Aside from the day-night cycle, the booth features moblins, chirping birds and ambient noises like a thunderstorm and crickets, statues, a theater with a screen that retracts into the ceiling to reveal a secret passageway, and even smell-o-vision for scents such as a musty aroma.

Nintendo’s E3 2016 booth is entirely dedicated to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Those are the only demo stations you’ll find, but the booth itself is decked out with a theme based on the game as well.

Here’s what Charlie Scibetta, senior director of corporate communications at Nintendo, had to say about the booth:

“We just wanted to create an immersive experience in the booth and dedicate everything to the one game by replicating the experience happening in the game. It’s an open-air adventure. You can feel one with nature. You can hear the sound of wind in the booth. We have fans. We have real grass. Everything is to scale. We wanted to go big with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s very much a nature kind of experience.”

IGN recently published an article about Zelda: Breath of the Wild which contains comments from producer Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma spoke about the world and how getting lost can be fun, rupees’ role, the subtitle, the special arrow shown in 2014, and Link’s green tunic.

We’ve rounded up Aonuma’s comments below. You can read IGN’s full piece here.

On how Nintendo approached the idea of filling such a large space…

“We talked a little bit about the idea of density, how dense to make this big world.” – Aonuma

– The team realized that filling the vast landscape with things to do and explore would be a lot of work
– As the team experienced moving around on horseback or climbing up to a high place to paraglide down, they realized that their desire to see what’s ahead of the next horizon grew
– At the same time, the team realized some moments should be subtle as you explore

“We realized that it’s OK if there’s pocket of emptiness.” – Aonuma
