Minecraft is a type of video games the place you’ll be able to play each night time for 2 months, crafting intricate castles and communities with your mates, obsessing over ocean temples and discovering The End, after which… you do not contact it in any respect for six months. Until sooner or later, you see somebody doing one thing cool in Minecraft, and also you suppose, “huh… it has been some time. Maybe I ought to boot it up once more?” And then you definitely play each night time for 2 months. Rinse and repeat.

I’m at the moment in my six month Minecraft lull, however this unbelievable challenge could be sufficient to lure me again in (if I wasn’t about to go travelling for a month, anyway).

Grazzy is a YouTuber with a give attention to Minecraft, and his channel is filled with Let’s Plays, tutorials, builds, and testing out new options within the updates. But it wasn’t till actually just lately that his channel took off, catapulting him from only a thousand subscribers to over 60,000 in a matter of months.

What occurred? Zelda occurred.

Five months in the past, Grazzy posted a video referred to as “I’m Building ALL OF Breath of the Wild in Minecraft (#1)“, and although it did not do notably nicely at first (particularly contemplating the hours of labor he put in), it all of a sudden blew up, and is at the moment sitting at over 1 million views. But Grazzy would not publish half two till just lately… and it seems that it was as a result of he needed to begin over. From scratch. Ouch.

Step one of many strategy of constructing Breath of the Wild in Minecraft was importing a top map to import the terrain into Minecraft’s blocky world. Easy peasy! Step two is to construct… every thing else.

In the video on the prime of this text, Grazzy maps out the Great Plateau, Kakariko Village, the Dueling Peaks, Fort Hateno and Hateno Village, plus a couple of different close-by landmarks. Luckily, a whole lot of Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule is simply huge, open plains and forests, so with the assistance of World Edit — a third-party software program that permits you to make large modifications simply, together with the power to repeat and paste pre-built constructions — Grazzy managed to fill a whole lot of terrain in fairly shortly.

Grazzy has an extended, lengthy, loooooooong option to go, after all, and the subsequent half might be Zora’s Domain and the remainder of the Faron area. The subsequent half, he says, should not take 5 months — “solely about two of these months was I really engaged on the challenge” — and when it is achieved, you can obtain the entire thing into your individual Minecraft recreation.

Which a part of Breath of the Wild do you suppose will translate greatest into Minecraft? What do you consider Grazzy’s construct thus far? And do you suppose this map might be prepared earlier than Breath of the Wild 2 comes out? Tell us within the feedback!
