Watch: The Art of Legend of Zelda Masterclass gets an official English translation

Thank the translation gods for this bountiful gift.

Last month, attendees at Paris’ Japan expo got to sit in on something truly spectacular: a masterclass in the Art of The Legend of Zelda, presented by none other than Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Breath of the Wild art director Satoru Takizawa. The hour-long presentation went into great depths about how each game in the series ended up looking as beautiful and iconic as they did, with a focus on the inspirations behind the art direction in Breath of the Wild.

The best part? You can watch it all online, for free, with English subtitles, right now. The Nintendo UK YouTube account uploaded a video of the entire presentation late last night, with an official translation to boot. It’s absolutely worth a watch, and you can do so below:

If you’re not seeing the captions, be sure you have closed captioning turned on, and have selected “English” in the video settings. Happy watching!
