It is a known fact the game’s development team was well-staffed, as it would have to be to create such an amazing expansive Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi states each team at Nintendo takes a different approach to development. He said, “Even with the Zelda franchise, it’s different. For example, Breath of the Wild started with less than 10 people.”
A small team helped flesh out ideas for the game for about a year; a prototype was designed and submitted to Nintendo’s senior staff. That’s when the team expanded, and development shifted into gear. The product we got is this beautiful game called Breath of the Wild.
