150 Hours Went Into Recreating The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past In Dragon Quest Builders 2
Just as Nintendo remastered The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Switch, an ambitious player recreated The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past within Dragon Quest Builders 2. Everyone apparently has Zelda on the brain these days.
The player of note is BenXC, who uploaded a trailer for this ambitious project onto YouTube. Ben says the world building took over 150 hours spread across half of a year. Over 300,000 blocks were placed by hand to recreate the cities and Death Mountain, and over 2,500 trees were planted to replicate the wilderness.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
