The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildwasreleased back in 2017 and took the open-world genre to new heights with its massive open-world, the ability to do just about anything in any order, and allowing players a sense of freedom rarely experienced in gaming. The game is so open and so massive thatBreath of the Wildfans are still discovering new glitches and tricksin 2022. Just the thought of the size of the game is sometimes daunting to gamers, but a hugeZeldafan has now taken on a quest of his own: to createBreath of the Wild’sHyrule world in another popular game,Minecraft.
Minecrafthas been out for over a decade now, and gamers have had their creative juices flowing ever since. Players take on new construction projects regularly,such as building Jorrvaskr Meadhall fromSkyriminMinecraft. AZeldafan on YouTube is taking on a much bigger project than that though: he plans to create the entire world ofBreath of the Wildin the game,and this isn’t the first time he has attempted such a large project.

YouTube user Grazzly posted a video to the platform of his progress five months ago called, “I’m Building ALL ofBreath of the WildinMinecraft(#1).” The video didn’t have many turning heads at first but has recently picked up steam. As of this writing, the video now has over one million views. While impressive, the next update to this project didn’t ever come and for a good reason: he had to scrap the entire project and begin again. Just when the project seemed dead, Grazzly posted the second part of his “I’m Building ALL ofBreath of the WildinMinecraft” series on August 4. While it remains to be seen if all of Hyrule’s beautiful sky and lands will be created inMinecraft, Grazzly has now made progress by creating Kakariko and Hateno Village from the game.
In the video, Grazzly also mentions that he had to start the entire project over after he realized that there was not enough room for Kakariko Village and Hateno Village while scouting for the next part of the project. In the first part video he released, Grazzly scanned in the entire empty map of Hyrule. But he just didn’t leave himself enough room to complete and fillBreath of the Wild’sworld,like the breathtaking Dueling Peaksor Death Mountain.
While theMinecraftproject is ongoing and will be for quite some time, it is a testament to how massive and variedBreath of the Wild’sHyrule Kingdom actually is. Grazzly has now completed the Great Plateau and two villages, but he has quite a way to go on his quest to create all ofBreath of the Wild’sHyrule Kingdom.Breath of the Wild’sopen world will continue to be explored in the sequelas well,so hopefully, this recreation is complete in time for Link’s next adventure.
