Nishibe: The starting point for designing the Divine Beast dungeons [in Breath of the Wild] was questioning if we could use in-game physics mechanics to make dungeons. We wanted to move entire floors to affect a variety of objects, for example.
Then, we decided on the elemental themes ... For the designs themselves, while keeping in mind that these are highly advanced weapons, we instilled a sense that these were tin toys rather than pursuing a cool, futuristic sci-fi look. I tried to make them into something attractive—off-putting, but also somehow nostalgic. I tried to make each dungeon into its own character using its appearance, animal motif, and movement.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreihfbyp3lejyn6bb7ep6nvnnc6n3jegdclqsoofkocd2wqsez5vyma)
