[NS][WiiU] The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild

Il confirme aussi qu'il y a moins de gros donjons que dans les autres Zelda, mais qu'il y en a quand même par rapport aux sanctuaires.

Back in 2015, you said that your ambition for this title was for it to be the ultimate, most complete Zelda game. Now that it's pretty much out, do you feel that you've achieved that? And also, once it's out, is that it? With a game world this big, I'm wondering about the possibilities for extra quests DLC, more content to further Link's adventures in this space.

I do feel that this is the ultimate, most complete Zelda we could have made, right now. Because, of course, that is how I feel now, and it doesn't mean we couldn't go further with the series in the future. This is not a pinnacle that can't be surpassed.

Ah ok c'est l'autre mec qui dit ça. À voir, franchement, j'ai pas l'impression que ça confirme quoi que ce soit. Aonuma dit juste qu'il y aura plus de sanctuaires que de gros donjons en fait. Mais perso, ça veut absolument rien dire pour moi. Faut faire attention à ce genre d'interview. Pour le coup, tout le jeu a l'air d'être pensé comme un énorme bloc, et on en sait finalement que très peu sur la progression et les objectifs du joueur.

But the reason we decided to include the smaller shrines—which isn't to say there aren't some larger dungeons in Breath of the Wild—

One of the major problems we faced on a game of this size was actually coordinating everything, and by that I mean creating this huge open world by lots of development staff. Each individual person might be working on just one part of that world, but if they're working without a broader context, within isolation, then they might think, "I'm creating this particular area or feature or object", but if they don't know how that fits into the broader world and context of the game, things won't tie together very well.

We had to make sure everyone was communicating as much as possible, and everyone had an idea of that broader world, but we really had to make sure all the development staff could play the game as much as possible. That takes a long time for a game of this size as you can imagine. So we had to take time throughout the development period to really play the game and make sure that this cohesion was maintained.

Another example of a challenge we faced was the physics engine. We wanted a consistent physics engine throughout the world that worked in a logical and realistic way. Actually implementing that was sometimes more complicated than it seemed. [For example], one day I picked up the latest build of the game and went to an area, and saw that all the objects that were supposed to be in that area weren't there. I was quite surprised and confused, and I realised after asking the programmer, the reason the objects weren't there was because the wind in-game had blown them all away.

That's the kind of challenge we faced, making the physics engine realistic, but not to the extent that it would negatively impact things - striking a balance between realism and having it work within the game world.
