Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed in an interview with Game Informer that Monolith Soft are involved with the development of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Miyamoto said that “yes they are involved in this Zelda. People from Tokyo and Kyoto are working together on this. There is a team of over 100 [from Monolith] helping work on this project, and their work has really been helpful”. It’s not the first time Monolith Soft worked on a Zelda game. Their previous work with Nintendo includes Skyward Sword.
Thanks, N-Dub Nation
You’re welcome, ssf1991! Two legends working together on an epic adventure for Link to explore on both Wii U and NX. 2017, here I come…
That explains a good bit.
Good good
They helped with Skyward Sword too. Not a surprise.
While good, Skyward is my least favourite
i knew this felt way too much like xenoblade….
I agree, something about the animations and when he jumped in the water.
Comparing this to Xenoblade causes me to lose interest in this Zelda game.
Good, it feels like Xenoblade and Zelda is just the right combination.
Well, no wonder the environments looks so expansive and beautiful.
Sequel to SS confirmed!!1!
I wish. According to some others, Ganon is in this game so it can’t be a sequel to Skyward Sword since Ganondorf, who becomes/is Ganon, hasn’t been born yet. :/ Unless this game has some kind of time mechanic in it we’re unaware of.
You know what it could be?
A chapter down the “Hero is Defeated” branch of the timeline. This could just be the trailer or the demo, but did you notice how barren and devoid of civilization BotW is? That could be a result of Ganondorf/Ganon seizing Hyrule.
They said Link wakes up from a 100 year sleep at the beginning of this game so maybe we’ll see the first incarnation of Ganon.
Yes! I was right about Monolith Soft also working on the new Zelda! Since XCX was finished, they had some free time to help with the development of another game!
It makes sense, as they have great experience with open world development.
That explains Link’s nudity in the game
Queue the Nude Speed runs in 2017.
the more nintendo projects they work on the better. its good to see them doing more than just the xeno series.
It shows, really. They’d ve crazy not to ask for their help.
I KNEW IT!! Monolith Soft you sly fox!
That were the news I wanted to hear, even the Xenoblade X team is helping!!!, No the hype can become real for the new Zelda
now*
For some reason I thought we already knew this. I could have sworn there was an article months ago about this. But I guess I am mistaken.
there was. it’s old news. But I imagine since it was just revealed in a big way that any tidbit of information is being thrown out there for the masses. Not everyone checks multiple Nintendo websites and keeps up on the news like some us :)
Oh ok. So I’m not crazy haha.
They should help with Pikmin 4 too. Imagine a territory the size of LA, New York and Chicago put together. Those Pikmin would take nights to carry a dead creature back to the onion.
