Discussion on Breath of the Wild's Development Cycle - A Good Submission? - CuriousUserX90 - 02-08-2017
Nothing yet has been confirmed on how long Breath of the Wild had been in development for, but I'll guess it was probably after Skyward Sword was completed, but I know it was being done for a Majority of the Wii U's Life Cycle.
Since the Wii U's reveal at E3 2011, Zelda games were considered, including HD Remakes. As for a new one that's been due to have so much great features, Aonuma spoke about in the Nintendo Direct in January 2013 during about the last 7 minutes of it, stating it would be a while before the game releases:
First Screens at E3 2014, announcing a 2015 Release Date, which remained the goal for nearly a year, even at the 2014 Game Awards:
Aonuma announces that they wish to Expand the World as possible with more Ideas coming into mind, with it no longer aiming for a 2015 Release, instead aiming for the year after:
It was then announced to be Delayed again to 2017 so it would release simultaneously on both the Wii U and the Switch: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2016/160427_4e.pdf
Indeed it did release as a Launch Game for the Switch, as strongly believed.
Does anyone think this about Breath of the Wild going through Development Hell might make a Good Trivia Submission someday?

I'm sure that sometime this year there'll be a DYKG Video on Breath of the Wild, of which they could talk about it's development cycle even before trivia about it gets posted to VGFacts.

The delayed release to coincide with a new console is probably worth submitting, yeah.
Not sure what we few randos on the forum can say about the development cycle without some interviews though.

Recently Beta64 did a video discussing Breath of the Wild's Beta, along with it's development cycle, including it's delays. Seems like it started development sometime in 2011. Once Trivia Posting is no longer disabled, I bet lots of stuff from Beta64's Video will be posted to the Breath of the Wild page, I might even post one myself (like of it's massive development cycle, hope I'll be able to think of a good way to phrase a submission like that).

Well Psychospacecow, I decided that I might post a Submission bout it's excessive development cycle after all: https://www.vgfacts.com/forums/thread-3796.html
So, discussion approved.
