Is this an addon for Zelda? Nope. It is a promo site. Pure joy — flying around like a little bee, buzzing to yourself. It works in the browser and creates an incredible feeling: this is almost GTA. Open world, alpine freshness. It is surprising: in one place they still cannot make a background gradient change color smoothly. In another place they create three-dimensional landscapes that are pleasant to look at. Why did I remember Zelda? Because art direction. Breath of the Wild still looks pleasant. Coherent and polished. Like concept art come alive. Within limited resources, the team did not chase realism, but created its own visual world and brought the artists' work to life. There is a GDC talk, "The Art of Diablo 3," where the project's art director shares an insight. They asked themselves: "why does graphics in games get old, while concept art for old projects keeps looking current?" Maybe the Zelda developers were at GDC, maybe they asked themselves the same questions.
