Beta64 - Breath of the Wild [NO SPOILERS]

Video Description

It took roughly 4 years of development and 2 additional years of planning, but it’s finally here: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. And on this episode of Beta64, we’re going to learn where the idea originated from, find differences in early footage, and figure out why the game was delayed so much. Also, there's those scrapped spaceships, motorcycles, and electric guitars. Those were a thing. Enjoy!
