  1. 1.0 1.1 "On Skyward Sword, Monolith had mainly helped us on graphics design and other artistic elements. Even though we could have asked them for help on the technical side, we realized their way of making games was completely different from ours and we didn't have much to learn from them on this installment, since we were almost doing two different jobs. On the other hand, for Breath of the Wild, we've been assisted by level designers used to large game areas, in order to make topographic arrangements." —Eiji Aonuma (Monolith Soft's Role In The Development Of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.)
