Really insightful presentation, I want to see all of it!
If you are in this photo and on holiday close to where I live hit me up, I'll buy you a beer (and make you drink until I convince you to give me the 8bit demo).

We rarely get to see the people that actually make the games at Nintendo, so this picture is really awesome.

It takes a week for them to put it up on the vault?

Call me crazy, but, do you guys think Breath of the Wild is setup in a way that they could make the same transition from GTA V to GTA Online? Would it be possible to make Breath of the Wild an online game where you can join other players to wreck the world?

Indeed. I feel like I was in a class (that I enjoy). Learned some good stuff. Great insight on what they did. I enjoyed this all.
I don't think that's far-fetched at all. Especially since the world is so huge. I imagine they're thinking about this.
I was thinking about this at least in relation to using the engine for an MMO.

Definitely an interesting panel and it was cool to get some more insight into how they developed Breath of the Wild besides what's already been said. Some of those things discussed are kinda weird and interesting (Hyrule Wars, Legend of Zelda: Invasion) along with the email slide about porting the game to Switch. The prototype was really cool as well.

Daiki Iwamoto is there. Looks like he is co-producer / supervisor alongside Aonuma for that team.
With performance problems? No. I can just imagine the connection problems and sub 15 fps gameplay.
Daiki Iwamoto is Assistant Director.

Wow. NOA dodged a bullet by not posting this Metroid pic.
Well, what do we do with these Metroids now that we're not making any more Metroids? Let's put them in Zelda!
Link hanging with Metroids.
Nintendo is just twisting the knife at this point.

Nintendo: Hey, whats that design doc you got there?
Designer: Oh, it's a Metroid. I was thinking of new ideas for a new Met..
Nintendo: What's a Metroid? I think we should put it in Zelda.
Designer: But fans have been wanting a traditional Metroid for awhile now.
Nintendo: I still don't know what Metroid is, but use it in Zelda.

The modern teen zelda is modern Final Fantasy lolworthy, but the Link in spacesuit is funny and interesting lol
The fact that the image posted on NoA twitter omitted the Metroid concept

And, holy shit, those Link mockups are horrifying. Like, CDI Zelda horrifying. Thank the gods that better heads prevailed.
Aiming to "stir the soul" is a really beautiful goal for a piece of art with this magnitude. I simply adore how BotW is an expression of passion, beauty, and creativity. Those ideals are among the few facets of existence that are truly priceless and incorruptible. Nintendo had their priorities straight every step of the way here, and I'm thrilled it seems to be paying off so well.
The world would be a much better place if every human strived to stir the souls of others, even if it's just through living a life of kindness and generosity. Hopefully this game inspires individuals to focus on bringing joy to those in their lives, the way BotW will bring joy to people by the millions.

It's a fascinating video so far, and I always enjoy seeing these sorts of talks/presentations beyond the usual interview fare on IGN etc...but scrolling down the comments was a poor idea. Apparently "the West" don't have to break a sweat developing games and Nintendo are the only good developers in the world : /
