The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is so large that, according to series producer Eiji Aonuma, it will be "impossible" for players complete the game in its entirety within a week.
The Completionist -- a YouTuber who attempts to 100 percent complete a game within the span of 7 days each week -- asked Aonuma about creating Breath of the Wild's rich world, and the series producer prefaced his response by saying, "First of all, it's going to be impossible for you to 100 percent complete Breath of the Wild!"
Aonuma went on to say that "development was certainly a long road," noting that they initially started with just an empty field and progressively added new elements to flesh it out. "We'd go back and play the game over and over again to see what needed to be added, then repeated that process endlessly," he explained.
Last year at E3, we spoke to Aonuma about Breath of the Wild's massive landscape. "After Skyward Sword we really needed to develop a bigger world, but we've actually never done that," he said. "So a lot of it was trial and error, and we had to feel things out."
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launches for Nintendo Switch and Wii U on March 3. Earlier this month, Aonuma discussed the differences between the two versions, telling IGN that on Switch the game will run at an increased resolution and have faster load times. Check out a side-by-side comparison of the two versions here.
