Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Developer Panel At GDC
Nintendo will be at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this year, like it normally is. On March 1 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT three directors from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will hold a special panel titled “Change and Constant – Breaking Conventions with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”. Many of the traditional conventions of the series are switched up in the upcoming release and the directors will detail how the changes were implemented.
Three developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will host a panel at the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. The panel, “Change and Constant – Breaking Conventions with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”, will feature game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, art director Satoru Takizawa and technical director Takuhiro Dohta. The panel is scheduled to be held 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 1 at the Moscone Center.
For decades, The Legend of Zelda series has been recognized as a trailblazer in game design that has influenced countless other games and developers. The latest game in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U systems, introduces wide-ranging changes that break with many of the traditional conventions of the franchise. The panel will provide an in-depth look at how these convention-breaking changes were implemented.
The panel will take place two days before Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s new home system, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launch. For those who are not attending GDC, a video of the panel will be available at http://www.gdcvault.com the following week.
