Miyamoto seems to have a reputation of jumping into a game’s development and completely flipping the game around. It appears that Hyrule Warriors was no different. In a recent interview with Nintendo Life, it revealed that when Hyrule Warriors was first being developed, it was originally intended to play more like a Zelda-game with Dynasty Warriors elements, as opposed to what it ended up becoming, a Dynasty Warriors game with some Zelda elements. We can thank Miyamoto for this change…

Minecraft has been giving fans with the patience and creativity the tools they need to pay tribute to some of their favorite movies, TV shows, and video games. Whether it’s making a 1:1 scale model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from Star Trek, or a life size model of Hogwarts from Harry Potter, the seemingly unlimited resources and space in the game have inspired countless players to reconstruct their favorite environments from other games. Kezsonaj, a member of the Minecraft forums, has spent roughly six months recreating the world of Ocarina of Time from scratch.
