Nintendo of America has announced that it will be holding a panel at this year’s GDC with three Breath of the Wild developers.

The panel is called “The Change and Constant – Breaking Conventions with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” and will feature director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, art director Satoru Takizawa and technical director Takuhiro Dohta. The panel is scheduled to be held 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 1st at the Moscone Center.

For decades, The Legend of Zelda series has been recognised as a trailblazer in game design that has influenced countless other games and developers. The latest game in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for both the Nintendo Switch and Wii U systems, introduces wide-ranging changes that break with many of the traditional conventions of the franchise. The panel will provide an in-depth look at how these convention-breaking changes were implemented.

The panel will take place two days before Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s new home system, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launch. For those who are not attending GDC, a video of the panel will be available at http://www.gdcvault.com the following week.

While it doesn’t seem like the panel will be streamed it should be worth watching out on Twitter for recounts of people there.
