But in the meantime today, tomorrow, and very likely the next several months are all about Nintendo. Perhaps as other gaming franchises reach their 20, 25, and 30-year anniversaries, we’ll begin to see more true watershed events the likes of which Breath of the Wild absolutely appears to be. To achieve what we’ve seen unfold over the last two days with Breath of the Wild, limitless time is just one ingredient. So when people recite Miyamotonian doctrine about how delays make bad games good, they’re largely correct. What it is about is vision, timing, commitment to an idea (or importantly, an ideal) and the accumulation of staff and talent over ten, twenty, and in some cases thirty years of franchise evolution. The stereotype that delays are essentially scrambles to rectify what clearly isn’t working has, I think, been shattered by Breath of the Wild, and it reminds that in the modern era of games, where more and more has been “done before” with each passing year, creating the next Ocarina of Time is not simply about tossing time, resources, man hours, or the most creative minds available at the problem. Still, the extra time devoted to Breath of the WIld cannot be ignored, and I suspect it calls for something of a differentiation between when a game is delayed and when its director receives an otherworldly transmission on what’s possible and adjusts how best to proceed.
It will be some time before we see Zelda in 4k. To use his words, “the ultimate and most complete Zelda game.” Rather, its developers discovered while working that it possessed rare potential to be not just good, not just truly great, but something of a paradigm shift. Aonuma in the video above is that Breath of the Wild was never bad. The long and short of the quote implies that a bad game can be saved from such with a delay. By now Shigeru Miyamoto’s maxim about delayed games versus bad games is pretty well known, and yet what’s so fascinating about Breath of the Wild is that is actually transcends the intent of Miyamoto’s original philosophy, now so deeply ingrained in how Nintendo operates. There are lessons to be learned here about the merits of delays, but boiling it down to simply “delays are good” doesn’t quite capture it. Given Breath of the Wild’s particularly bloated delay and subsequent massive critical success, I’d say this importance is more distinctly relevant to game making than ever.īefore moving on, I’d like to revisit Zelda overseer Eiji Aonuma’s official commitment to delaying Breath of the Wild. Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when Breath of the Wild was delayed indefinitely back in 2015? Though disappointing back then, it’s a moment far less memorable, is it not? And yet, delays could not be more crucial when it comes to delivering the very Zelda experience we all expect. What I’m more interested in today are delays. This is a sensation most Zelda fans know well, and attempts to mash square, pointed feelings into the round limitations of words are likely not worth anyone’s while. I could easily detail my own situation at the time of each major Zelda release, my powers of recollection amplified by the mere presence of a disk or cartridge soon to envelope my heart, mind, and daily experience for what usually amounts to quite a long while. The often four-or-more year gaps between releases render Zelda more event than mere occurrence, seating itself firmly in your memory bank, positioned snugly alongside details like time, place, or key points of actualization and personal development. Perhaps it’s due to the wide aperture between home console The Legend of Zelda titles, but most people remember precisely where they were when first experiencing each major entry.
