Hey all!

Over the bank holiday weekend I had the sudden desire to make a super quick Zelda video, ahead of this week's launch for Tears of the Kingdom.

This is one of my "GMTK Mini" videos - shorter, scrappier, more topical videos I put together in a few days in between the longer stuff. (As such, these skip Patreon credits and early access).

I had fun making it, hope you dig it! It'll go live for all in a little while.

How Nintendo Solved Zelda's Open World Problem

To mark the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, let's look back at the making of Breath of the Wild's open world. GMTK Minis are shorter, scrappier, more topical videos that I can make in between bigger episodes.
