The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild GDC panel is now taking place, and to keep us in the loop, Nintendo have been Tweeting small snippets of information as it happens.
The Breath of The Wild development team are in attendance, and we should have some more details on their talks soon. Here’s the recent Tweets live from the developer’s conference:

What does this look like to you? It might look like the original The Legend of Zelda, but it plays a key role in today’s panel! pic.twitter.com/pt3Jau7QFE

The existing conventions of #Zelda created a challenge for the developers: how do we take a “passive” game, and create an “active” game? pic.twitter.com/K3wyaoa4a1

In looking at the boundaries of the previous #Zelda games, and designing around them, a new freedom of expression and gameplay was formed. pic.twitter.com/dFFcNDcNGQ

Kind of interesting how they started off by making the Prototype of Breath of the Wild in 2D :3
What came to my mind when I saw that image was “Zelda Maker”, *that* would be interesting^^
I can’t wait for this.
Did you notice that each heart line has 15 hearts???? That means the total-without food boosts- amounts to 30!
Give me that 2d Game NOW.
They tweet other screenshots, with early concepts and ideas. In one of them you can see hipster Link and Ganondorf with a Metallica shirt, I’m not kidding, Is simply amazing!!!
that moment zelda has been shipped to you but your switch not…
Everybody that’s interested about that 2D Zelda Prototype…
Here’s a video about it from GDC 2017 and gosh, you got to see it! =D

I’m so impressed at how Nintendo designed and broken conventions
in Breath in the Wild and so excited to play it very, very soon. (WiiU for now,
Switch in the future!)
Oh and also, amazingly enough, Nintendo tweeted that that Zelda 2D Prototype you see…
Is actually in 3D and uses Breath of the Wild “chemistry” and “physics” engine, where it’s all fitted in the 2D prototype to the full main game!

Woah Technology! (is a meme by yandere-dev btw)
Couldn’t help but say that haha…but seriously, I’m really
blown and amazed at what ingenious game-design went into this! ^-^
