Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma recently took part in an extensive interview with Game Informer and it results in some interesting information being given about Zelda Breath of The Wild’s storytelling. They both explain that learning the story in the game is different to previous in the Zelda series and that Aonuma uses a ‘trick’ which he discovered way back 20 years ago when developing the first Zelda games.
Unfortunately for us he keeps the details close to his chest and doesn’t reveal what this special method of storytelling entails. Time will tell…

Time travel..
Like OOT? That’d be great but hardly a ‘new’ discovery.
“that Aonuma uses a ‘trick’ which he discovered way back 20 years ago when developing the first Zelda games.”
Clearly OOT.
Exactly.
That *was* originally going to be part of the first Zelda for NES, IIRC…
First!
(I’m testing something…)
Bah. I’m disappointed I didn’t get the comment I thought I would after I said “first.” Oh well.
Flashbacks maybe?
I thought this!
It’s unlocking cutscenes. That’s it.
(Or at least that’s my prediction)
Lol

20 years ago was Ocarina of Time. The first Zelda was 30 years ago.
I think the cutscenes might always be the same no matter what order you complete tasks and the environment around them could change?
Or maybe the story is simply written in a way where each character tells a piece of the story of the past and the order you learn it doesn’t matter very much — kind of like the goddess origin story I’m OoT. And then companions join you to fight the final evil, and if you get ALL of the “companions” and all of the pieces of the story you are rewarded with a 100% ending, vs only getting the regular ending if you miss something.
That remind me of One Piece :)
scan visor confirmed
So… young Link will be in the game? :P
