Hidemaro Fujibayashi has been revealed as the director of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He previously held the same role with Skyward Sword and Minish Cap. Eiji Aonuma is the producer and group manager.
Just how big is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Nintendo has said that it’s actually 12 times larger than the map in Twilight Princess. The company also said that the E3 demo represents just 1% of the game’s total size.
This information comes from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma…
“Yeah it’s definitely possible. As I mentioned earlier in the presentation, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a result of what we wanted to expand and make a better Skyward Sword. It’s like an evolved or expanded version.”
“Putting out an HD version of Skyward Sword and tossing that into the mix might be a little weird,” he said. “It’s always a possibility, so I really don’t know.”
According to Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be the “same experience” on Nintendo NX as on Wii U. He said as much when asked if NX will have any exclusive features. Aonuma also mentioned that Breath of the Wild will support the Pro Controller.
The first actual gameplay for Zelda: Breath of the Wild debuted during Nintendo Treehouse: Live @ E3 2016 live stream. Check out a recording of the footage below (part 3).
